About this property

Sunny Scandinavian House on Wamphassuc Pt. Harbor view. Short walk to the beach

Contemporary and comfortable house set in a fantastic location with a great view of Long Island Sound and Stonington Village.
You can use it as a base to explore the Connecticut coast or just hang out on the sunny decks or the huge garden. Enjoy the sounds of birds and the sea.

The house is comprised of:
- Master Bedroom
A large room at the top of the house with a king sized bed and small closet. The upstairs bathroom is just across the landing.
Dark drapes keep out the morning sun so you can sleep as long as you like!
- Second bedroom
A quiet room with lots of closet space. This room is on the shady side of the house so it is lovely and cool. Double bed.
- Third (downstairs) bedroom
Another king sized bed and two built-in singles make this an ideal kids' room. The second full bathroom leads off this bedroom.
- Kitchen, Dining and Living room
Amazing bright open plan spaces that open onto the sunny deck. The living room has a small library of interesting books about the local area and literature by local authors, and funky and comfortable furniture. The kitchen is functional and great for entertaining. The open plan functional kitchen is great for cooking--we've had so many good meals here.
- The Decks
Lovely spaces for entertaining, dining al fresco at the rustic tables or just sunbathing. There is a chiminea and a gas barbecue. A solid, bespoke outdoor table in on each deck--we use one for summer breakfasts in the shade, and the other (can seat 10) has wonderful views of the harbour.

Please note that there is no air conditioning in the house. We've spent a lot of resources making the house as comfortable as possible with no a/c--with heat filters on the windows and fans in every room.

There is central heating (air) and a woodstove, which is cozy in the winter!

Beautiful home and neighborhood
The house is absolutely stunning. Upon arrival the house was clean, welcoming, and Alison was very responsive. We took a walk down to ocean and the neighbors were also very welcoming. Although super beautiful the path is a little overgrown and we ended up getting a ton of ticks on us so we went to the local beaches around town instead. I highly recommend this place and hope we can stay again in the future.

Mixed review
The view and location are beautiful, and our hosts left us a bottle of wine and fresh flowers, which was very appreciated. The downside – all of the beds are ROCK HARD and old, the place has a TON of bugs, The linens are old and stained (and didn’t seem clean), we had no washcloths (they did bring us some new ones). After traveling all day, we had to make all of our beds (bc of Covid…???). There is no nightstand next to the bed downstairs. The downstairs shower handle was broken. They offered to send a plumber while we were staying there, but it was inconvenient so we opted for our rigged up system. One of the window handles was broken, and there is no AC so we were trying to manage the temperature with windows open. There is no permanent dehumidifier, it is a plug-in unit that we had to empty twice a day, but it worked. The downstairs was horrendously humid and musty when we arrived, it would’ve been nice if it would’ve been running before arrival. The deck was old and splintered, the umbrella had a big hole in it. The upstairs bed only had a couple of inches of clearance on either side and a slanted ceiling, so my 80-year-old parents had to crawl from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed to get in and out. There is another bed in the loft, but there are no curtains so the sun comes in at 6AM. There were appliances in the kitchen, but they were old and rusty. It’s beautiful, but at these prices we would not stay here again until these things are fixed.

Wonderful Weekend
We had a wonderful weekend at Alison's beautiful home on Wamphassuc Pt. Very fun location with easy access to the beach and local trails for walking. Truly splendid view of the harbor with light pouring into the house throughout the day. Loved the Modern/Scandinavian decor! Morning yoga and coffee on the deck worked wonders. Also a trip to Mystic for Sunday brunch at The Oyster Club was delicious. Our crew, 2-families with teens, will definitely be back! Thank you!

We were restored by the tranquility and quiet of this beautifully unique house, tucked away in a peaceful setting with it's beautiful views of the water, spacious deck and yard. The host was welcoming, accomodating and available via email for any questions and information we needed. My family would return here without hesitation.

Sadly, disappointed
The house has great potential, unfortunately not to the average person’s upkeep. Both outdoor stairways had overhang from trees that we had to dodge every time we came in & out. The outdoor deck looks great from pics but definitely falling about…expect splinters in your shorts if you sit on the benches. Inside the coffee pot had moldy grounds left in it. Majority of the screens for the windows had rips or holes, some windows were broken; which wouldn’t be that big of a deal if there was a/c. My family was alright with no a/c, but expected to be able to open all windows & not worry about extra bugs getting in. I did say extra bugs…the house is infested with earwigs, especially the bottom bedroom & bathroom which made sleeping a joke when you have them in the bed too…tried sleeping with the lights on. The bottom bedroom was very musty smelling as well. I would recommend some tlc to make people’s stay enjoyable. Definitely needs some & an exterminator!

This is a wonderful family retreat!
The house is close to several beautiful walk about towns. There are great restaurants everywhere. There are lots of things to see, ex. The Aquarium, the Seaport Museum, different lighthouses and more. The house is spacious everyone was comfortable, not bumping into each other. The yard is great for playing in. The view of the water is great. Relaxing on the porch with a book was a great way to spend a day. The kids (9 & 5) loved being there. The grownups did also.

This was a very nice property, great views, large yard with zip line for the kids. The fans in the rooms definitely were needed. The 2 showers in the house had deep bathtubs, might be difficult for some to get in and out. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and the location was great!

Bright and beautiful home in a wonderful location
The house is a comfortable, sunny delight, with lovely views and neighborhood in a terrific location close to the charming towns of Mystic and Stonington. We were a group of 6 adults getting together for a weekend, and it was very well suited for our needs, and sharing bedrooms and walking through one bedroom to get to another were not issues for us. The house was great for communal meals and enjoying the outdoors and all that the neighboring towns have to offer. Really just lovely.

Beautiful location perfectly located near Mystic
We came and enjoyed a long weekend in what we were told was the Mystic off-season - it was hoping though ! Lots to do and see . My kids had a blast , There was a toy chest filled with treasures and the property brought endless enjoyment for my family to explore . In the morning the house fills with beautiful sunlight and the view was so peaceful . I highly recommend , and would love to visit again . It took just five minutes to drive into Mystic. The host was easy to communicate with and answered our questions in a timely fashion. Thanks for the much needed rest .

Weekend Getaway
Property was in great condition and just what you would expect of a quaint New England cottage. The hosts had fresh flowers and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. This was a great touch and started the weekend off on a high note. The property was conveniently located for our Saturday plans to tour local breweries and sites.

Lovely, quiet, getaway
It's a lushly woodsy getaway, with water views, and an easy walk to a tiny, rocky beach where you can listen to the birds and watch sailboats launch. We didn't do much, the house was perfectly comfortable and accomodating. Showers are hard to step into if there's anyone with mobility issues. Otherwise, highly recommend.

Everything was easy and comfortable, unique - like staying in a friends house. The deck was wonderful, our dog just wanted to watch the bunnies and squirrels and deer all day! We did use the zip line, and the kayaks - getting them to the shore is an effort but lovely paddling. All was clean and neat.

We've been visiting Stonington for years, and this was, by far, the best and most relaxing trip ever. Alison's home is a treasure trove inside and out...the view, the grounds, the art, the books! The owners have provided everything one could possibly want...bikes, kayaks, boogie boards. It was perfect for our multi-generational family. Close to beaches and restaurants, but truthfully, we enjoyed staying in the most. It's a pretty magical place.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Green

Host profile image
This land has been in our family for 100 years. Our extended family still gathers in Stonington once a year from all over the country and abroad for a large family gathering (including an epic water fight and lobster feed).

Why they chose this property

Stonington is a very special place. It's unspoiled and full of fun things to do. Great if you're into boats and the water; you can also take great walks, or visit the casinos! Locally there's a bit of a foodie thing happening -- with a handful of farm-to-table restaurants and farm stands everywhere. We love the indoor-outdoor style of living, being able to go barefoot and never locking the car!

What makes this property unique

It's the views, the light, the air, the nature right in front of you, the friendly people. And, if we don't mind saying it, the house is has great style.
