Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wow This home was amazing! We stayed here for most of the week so we could participate in USCGA graduation activities. The home had everything we could possibly need (including a diffuser for my curly-haired daughter). The labels in the kitchen made it super easy to find and put things away. We enjoyed chatting at the fire pit and warming up in the hot tub after a very chilly graduation day. Would absolutely stay here again. ##### Deanna S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dinaz i. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pretty house in great location! We just returned from a lovely long weekend at the Bow House. The home is even lovelier in person than in the pictures, charming down to the last detail. It is spacious, comfortable and very clean. I appreciated the little touches such as providing not just hand soap, but also shampoo, conditioner, dish soap a new sealed dish sponge, laundry pods etc. Location is great, the town is very cute with great cafes, shops and ice cream shops, just one block from the water. Easy drive to Mystic. Markus was extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. We will be back!! ##### dinaz i.
