This place was even better than the pictures! The location was perfect to walk to the restaurants and beach in Stonington. The house was clean, more spacious than we thought it would be, and the backyard/porch was a perfect place to hang outside!

Quick Visit

Bennett was a very helpful and responsive host. The property was in a great location in Stonington. The property itself is an old carriage house and it has character. We were only there a short period of time but it provided the space we needed for our family.

Charming Annual Girls Trip

This was my second time staying at this lovely home for my annual girls trip in Stonington. It’s the perfect location with walkable restaurants, water views, shopping, and beautiful neighborhoods. Close to amazing wineries and downtown Westerly, and beautiful beach towns. The house was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and beautiful! The host was very accommodating, allowing us to check-in early and was quick to respond to all messages! We’ll be back next year!

Wonderful Stay in Stonington

Had an excellent stay here. The property was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful backyard and seating area. It was extremely quiet and calm, and we loved the short walk into the town to grab food and ice cream. Bennett was extremely communicative. Really couldn't have had a better low-key time away with family. Thank you so much!

Quick Summer Trip

This property was perfect for our quick summer trip to the Stonington area. It was the ideal location, within walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants and ice cream while being only a short drive to Mystic and Watch Hill. The unit had more than enough space for our family of four plus my mother-in-law. We would definitely stay here again on future visits!

About the host

Hosted by Bennett Brissette

Host profile image
Born and raised in Stonington, I've been traveling the world for the past 10 years as an engineer on private yachts. I've seen some amazing places, but i always return home to Stonington. In my spare time, i purchased this home in 2017 as a fun renovation project. Some would have said to tear it down and start new, but I've always loved the history and uniqueness of old houses so my dad and I completely renovated it over a year and a half, turning it into what it is today. I'm proud of our work, and excited to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

The boro is an amazing place filled with history and character. The perfect combination of being walking distance to restaurants, parks, the beach, and marinas, while still feeling like you have your own space to retreat to. Many of the houses in the area are private seasonal residences so it never feels overcrowded.
