Amazing Beach House - New London
If you know me at all, you know I love hangin' by the water. This vacation dream house is only steps away from Ocean Beach in New London and includes 5 bedrooms that sleep 10. Best of all, cha-ching, it rents for only $199 a night and gets a 5-star rating.
This summer holiday home has been completely renovated and includes central air. There are currently some choice dates available throughout the summer but availability opens up in September. Reserve soon before it's all booked up!

Charming Room in Sea Captain House - South Norwalk
History meets quaint in this room in a private home in South Norwalk which is absolutely ideal for a couple who would just like to get away and not spend a fortune. The home is within walking distance of the beach and only a mile from the shops and restaurants in South Norwalk.
Best of all, this quaint little getaway gets a 5-star rating and rents for only $69 per night.

Rustic River Getaway - Kent
You could call this upscale camping. This two-room rustic cabin sleeps 4 and is right over the river. Keep in mind that the hot shower is outdoors and so is the outhouse which doesn't work for many vacationers.
BUT, the views are breathtaking and the Appalachian trail is next door to the cabin. There are a full kitchen and outdoor grill with great restaurants nearby in the town of Kent and if you'd like to bring along your floppy-eared friend, dogs are welcome to come along.
This cute getaway cabin is a 5-star Airbnd and rents at $125 per night. Dates in June and July are wide open!

Beautiful Home on Connecticut Shore - Groton
Located in the Eastern Point Beach neighborhood of Groton, Connecticut you'll be able to view spectacular sunsets from the front porch.

It's only minutes from the shore and a couple of blocks from the public beach. There are some select dates available from May through August but September may be the month to book this charming home at only $195 a night.
