The owner, Pat is very gracious. She was respectful and responsive to our needs at all times... And the setting of the property is really lovely!! The property offers serenity on its covered patio area, the pool and deck, as well as the waterfront grounds bordering Palmers Cove. It is wonderfully located to easily embark on day trips exploring in and around the region. We enjoyed exploring the cove and coastal waters by kayak, sailing with Captain Darin on the Poet's Lounge around Fisher Island Sound, and traveling to Mystic and Block Island. The region has so much to offer. Pat offered wonderful suggestions in her welcome packet and never steered us wrong. We absolutely loved eating at Abbots for open air lobster, The Boathouse in Old Mystic Village and ordered yummy lunches to go from Mystic Market.

Initially, we were a bit surprised that the guest area's living space in this VRBO was so open to the owner's living area from the entryway, both visually and auditorially, without having a door of separation. We were a bit self conscious as it didn't feel completely private. We learned to adjust accordingly. It really is more like a beautiful bed and breakfast, where you have your own bedroom and bath and semi-private shared communal spaces, coupled with terrific amenities and a sweet hostess. We modified our "hang-out" places on the property to accommodate our need for greater personal space and had a marvelous time at the rental.

Temperatures were frequently in the upper eighties and nineties with high humidity during our stay. Pat offered AC, but we found the fans provided created enough relief for our comfort. We appreciated her kindness and courtesy. It was a wonderful vacation and we would definitely consider staying with her again!
