Pull up to the large driveway with parking for up to 5 cars. You enter the gate on the left side of the driveway to access the home behind the fencing. There is a large carport on the right side of the house that you can pull your car(s) under if you wish. There is a large rolling gate that you can push to the right to pull the car into the property. You access the house from the front door using the 4-digit code provided. You will enter the bottom foyer area, where I have wall hooks and an umbrella stand. There is also a small heater that helps keep the foyer warm in the winter months. We also offer a propane style stove with a remote. Take the stairs to the first floor, where you will find the main living areas. This floor offers soaring cathedral ceilings with a wrap-around floor plan including a living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, laundry area, full bathroom with shower, and an office area. The living room and dining room offer soaring ceilings and amazing sun light through the windows and French doors off the living room and dining room. There is a brand new queen convertible sleeper sofa (1/6/26) that seats 3 comfortably, and 3 swivel-style chairs. The greeen chair is brand new (1/6/26) and swivels, glides, and offers electronic reclining function with a smart charging port. The home is controlled by a ductless AC system that also heats the house. There are 2 units on this floor. One in the living area, and one in the diningroom. I also have a ceiling fan in the living area. I offer a large smart TV and a Bose portable speaker for entertaining purposes.
There are 2 sets of French doors that take you to the back deck. The back deck offers a dining table for 6 with an umbrella, a grill, and lounge seating with a firepit and umbrella. The deck has a gate for safety. There are stairs off the back deck that lead to the back of the property, making it very convenient to access the private enclosed outdoor shower that offers both hot & cold water.
The kitchen is modern and is fully equipped for your entertaining needs. I have coffee and tea along with spices for your convenience. There is even a little treat for your fur babies. The large pantry offers plenty of storage space for your items. The laundry area is also located off the kitchen. I have a stackable GE washer and dryer and offer laundry supplies. There is also an iron and ironboard in the house. (located in the second floor king/twin conversion bedroom)
The second floor hosts the bedrooms and a full bathroom with tub/shower. The bedroom on the left is provided with a king bed, 2 night tables, a small chair, a full-length mirror, a TV, a dresser, a closet, a ceiling fan, and a sliding door to a small balcony.
The bedroom on the right can be offered as 2 twins or a king. There are 2 night tables with lamps, a small chair, a full-length mirror, a TV, a dresser, a closet, a ceiling fan, and a sliding door to a small balcony.
The chest of drawers on this floor holds your extra towels.
The full bathroom includes a double sink, large medicine cabinets, tub/shower, heater/fan, and toilet.
Kori is especially set up to provide your fur babies with a great stay! Having the convenience of the upper deck providing access to the fully fenced yard has allowed my pups the freedom to run and play around the entire property! They also love the number of beds I provide, and having permission to lounge on the sofa with the pet cover!
Stonington Borough is a great dog town! The neighborhood is fantastic to walk the pups! There is plenty of grassy areas, and the stores and restaurants are pet friendly! You can even take your pup with you to explore the Velvet Mill that's just a few blocks over the bridge from the house!
Stonington Borough, Connecticut is a quintessential New England coastal village that offers travelers a blend of history, maritime charm, scenic beauty, and relaxed small-town vibes — perfect for day trips or as part of a broader seaside getaway.
🌊 Historic & Cultural Appeal
Stonington Borough is the oldest borough in Connecticut, steeped in maritime history and once a bustling whaling port. It still hosts the state’s last commercial fishing fleet, showcasing its seafaring roots.
Wander its streets on a self-guided walking tour to admire well-preserved colonial, Federal, and Greek revival architecture.
Dive deeper into local history at The Stonington Lighthouse Museum and Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer House Museum — both spotlight maritime heritage and notable residents like the explorer who helped discover Antarctica.
🍴 Coastal Dining & Local Flavors
The Borough squeezes a variety of restaurants and cafés into its compact historic core. Local favorites include:
Dog Watch Cafe — beloved for fresh seafood and casual comfort food.
Noah's — a cozy, well-liked spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Whitecrest Eatery and Dock 9 — excellent choices for seasonal, locally sourced fare.
🍷 Scenic Views, Nature & Waterfront Life
Stonington’s location on a mile-long peninsula into Fisher’s Island Sound offers spectacular water views and sheltered harbor waters ideal for boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Enjoy a sunset picnic or leisurely stroll at Stonington Point, where water meets sky and boats bob in the harbor.
For nature lovers, nearby outdoor spots like Knox Preserve - Avalonia Land Conservancy provide peaceful trails through woodland and meadow.
The region also boasts vineyards such as Saltwater Farm Vineyard and Stonington Vineyards, perfect for tasting sessions with scenic backdrops.
🎨 Shopping & Community Events
Charming boutiques, art galleries, and specialty shops line Water Street, offering locally made crafts, souvenirs, and coastal keepsakes.
Throughout the year, the Borough hosts concerts, farmers’ markets, parades, and seasonal events that reflect its engaged community spirit.
🗺️ Perfect Base for Exploring Southeastern Connecticut
While Stonington Borough itself is compact — many visitors enjoy combining it with nearby attractions such as Mystic Aquarium and Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic — it can stand alone as a relaxing, scenic stop full of character and seaside charm.
In short, Stonington Borough offers travelers history, water views, local seafood, boutique shopping, and a peaceful taste of coastal New England life — all without the crowds of larger resort towns.

We stayed at the house just for one night while exploring downtown mystic and stonington. The place offered a nice quiet stay in the evening and it was very peaceful. Highly recommended!

Great location, lovely walkable area, close to an old mill with shops, food, and farmer’s market. Close to drive in to Mystic. Well stocked for kitchen essentials, bath towels, linens for couch, extra blankets, they even had some essentials in the bathrooms. Very clean and modern. Lovely decks to sit out on. They also had very comfortable beds and pillows. Very communicative and gave us great suggestions of local places as well as clear instructions of all household amenities with a manual on site. There were also pamphlets for local things to do. The only thing was not having control of the heat for 4 perimenopausal women 😂 but there were fans and sliding glass doors in both bedrooms! Would stay again. 10 out of 10 would Reccommend!

We had a quick college reunion and rented Louis’ lovely house for one night. The house was very clean and perfect for our stay. We walked through the historical neighborhoods and shops to dine at Breakwater restaurant, which we also recommend.

Louis' place was a perfect place for us to relax and recharge. Walking around Stonington was great and the place was great to hang out in. Louis was very responsive and gave us great suggestions as well. We would stay here again for sure!
