House is wonderfully equipped and very clean

We loved staying at the Owl's Nest. Everything was as advertised and the Host was always available. Definitely would come back.

My family had a wonderful time staying at this property. Everything was as advertised. The house is very spacious and easily accommodated our group of 9. Michele was great and quickly responded to any questions we had. The location was perfect. Close to beaches and area attractions, like Mystic Seaport, the aquarium and museum. We used the heated saline pool every day, the fire pit every night and the out door grill just about every day. I highly recommend this property.

The Owl's Nest was a beautiful and impeccably clean home. The house and yard were extremely spacious, allowing plenty of room for our group of several families with small children to spread out. The yard was large with pool, lawn games, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and various seating areas. The house was well stocked with numerous items we found useful for our stay. Michele was very communicative and responsive to our questions. One downside was that, as a group traveling from out of state and unfamiliar with the area, we were surprised by the proximity to the nuclear power plant on the other side of the cove. I would also note that the nearest beach was more of a beach for the kids to dig in the sand and explore and not so much for swimming as it was rather rocky. That being said, several other beaches nearby were easily accessible by a short walk or car ride. This home was perfect for our group to have a leisurely vacation and we would definitely consider renting again.

We loved staying here.! The house and grounds were more beautiful than the pictures. The grandkids loved the pool and the nearby beaches. Great communication with the owner. An excellent vacation!

We had a wonderful time at Michelle and Seth's house. Accommodations were great, amenities was also great. My grandchildren enjoyed the pool and the outdoor games they supplied. The walk to the beach and the general store was not far and my grandchildren enjoyed walking to both. A must visit.

House exceeded our expectations. Plenty of room for everyone. Grandkids thoroughly enjoyed pool. Kitchen well equipped. Proximity to beaches, Mystic Aquarium, restaurants a plus. Thank you Michelle for making our stay so comfortable.

The property had many amenities. The children loved the pool, pool table, indoors space to play and do art work and the large screen TV. The temperature was set too cool the first two days. We were a bit concerned about a gas odor near the great room fireplace and near the ovens in the kitchen. The owner said it was the pilot light. It would have been nice to have passes to the beach. All in all we had a good stay after we got resolution for our concerns.

Everything was perfect! The only thing we found wrong is that the pictures do not do the property justice! It's so much more beautiful and spacious in person. There were seven in our group with plenty of room to spread out. The rooms were large enough to all gather comfortably. The pool, outdoor kitchen and firepit make the yard feel like a private paradise. We really enjoyed the yard games and pool table. The owners thought of everything you could want or need. The area is breath takingly beautiful! The owners were amazing to give us suggestions of things to do in the area. We can not say enough wonderful things about our trip! We will definitely book this property again!!

Plenty of room and rooms for extended family to enjoy each other while providing downtime apart. Superb yard/pool including outdoor games, fire pit and outdoor kitchen. Every imaginable kitchen appliance, tool, pans and dishes (for both indoors and poolside). Luxurious beds, immaculate linens, topped off by incredible water view from the rooftop deck. Friendly neighbors and convenient to USCGA graduation events. Did we mention the nearby beach?!

The house was beautiful. Michele and Seth were helpful and very responsive. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. My family of 9 had plenty of room to move about the property without getting in eachother's hair. We had some really hot weather during our stay so we took full advantage of the pool almost every day of our stay. The kitchen was great and well equipped with everything we needed. The pool table/ air hockey was great and we used it frequently also. The only potential improvements that came up from my family were the in law suite was a little warm at night for sleeping, not sure if the central air extends to that area or not, and the bedrooms in the main house did get a little chilly at night/ early morning. Overall we have no complaints and very much enjoyed our stay and would book the property again. It was also our first time in Waterford and it's a nice town.

This is a beautiful house. Keep in mind, the owners had just bought this house and are still in the process of "outfitting" the place to meet their needs. There are a couple of "quirks" that may be remedied in the future. One being the fact that the master BR has a very large opening into the vaulted foyer. There is a set of blinds that help block out light but they do nothing to block out sounds from the 1st floor of the house including TV and kitchen noises. If it were my house I would either put a large window there or a wall. Other thing I found odd was that there was no basic TV stations. We were there during the recent storm that went through and would have liked to tune in to the New Haven and Hartford CBS, FOX and ABC stations. You are able to use your own streaming services. The only BR that has a TV is the master. The in-law suite and other BRs did not have on. BUT, there are two TVs on the first floor, one in the Kitchen and dining area and one in the living area. Both areas are open to each other so I thought that was odd. The fact that they had an automatic generator was fantastic being that we lost power for 2 or 3 of our 7 days. Generator supplied power to kitchen, master BR refrig and freezer. Michele (the owner) was awesome throughout the entire process. She responded to my questions within minutes and was a pleasure to work with. We got to meet her beautiful family and thank them for allowing us to rent their new home. We usually rent beachfront homes in other states but if we decide on a CT staycation again we will def be back.
