She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
After the days of winter that can sometimes feel endless, most of us are pretty excited when spring rolls around. Spring in Connecticut is a great time, and many plan for spring and summer vacations at this time of year. What better place to get out and enjoy the warmer weather than at a waterfront vacation rental in Connecticut? We’re lucky enough to have plenty of shoreline in the Nutmeg State, so check out a few of our favorite waterfront Airbnbs for spring and summer stays:
This riverfront home is a great getaway that's centrally located in Clinton and not far from beaches, shopping, hiking trails, and more. The two-bedroom home can host up to six guests and visitors remark on how clean and comfortable the place is.
The views from the back deck are stunning and honestly you may not want to spend too much time inside, but if you do, you'll have amenities like a smart TV, washer and dryer, and Wi-Fi. Learn more or book a stay at Airbnb.
Looking to enjoy a cozy weekend away with that special someone? This lakefront home looks incredibly romantic and can host up to two guests. It's right in between Hartford and the Mohegan Sun Casino, making it quite convenient if you're looking to enjoy area recreation.
However, I don't know that I'd be spending much time off the property! You'll enjoy direct lake access, a gas fireplace, and a full kitchen. Kayaks and life vests are provided during the summer months. For more information about this home, check out the property listing on Airbnb.
For a luxury experience at a reasonable price, this Connecticut Chalet is perfect! It's tucked away on five wooded acres in peaceful Southington and it's right on a pond. There's a sunroom that provides panoramic views from floor-to-ceiling windows: what better place to enjoy a cup of morning coffee?
The three-bedroom home can host up to six guests. Note that this pond is just for looks and swimming and fishing are not allowed. You can book a stay at the property's Airbnb listing.
This historic cottage in Coventry is located near UConn and is right on Eagleville Lake. The great room here offers incredible views and there's even a loft bed you can reach via ladder. The lake is pretty shallow, so it's not suitable for motorized boating, but you can canoe and kayak here from the shared community boat launch.
If you're looking for a tranquil escape to peace and quiet, this home on a dead-end street is perfect. There's nothing quite like the rural beauty of Woodstock, and this waterfront home is a great place to enjoy it! With an outdoor fire pit, pier, and lakeside BBQs, there's lots of room for fun here.
The home has been recently renovated and there are a kayak and paddleboat available for use during your stay. Up to four guests can stay here. Learn more from the home's Airbnb listing.
Don’t these waterfront Airbnbs in Connecticut look amazing? Which is your favorite?
