Eastern Shore Vacation Rentals

There’s a whole stretch of inviting coast waiting for you between the Gold Coast on Connecticut’s western shores and the shore towns on the border of Rhode Island. These private Eastern Shore Connecticut vacation rentals epitomize the relaxing getaway.

Anchored by the towns of New Haven, Old Saybrook and New London, the retreats of the Eastern Shore offer everything that’s easy and convenient. Close to New York, Hartford, Providence and Boston. Close to the beach. Quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle.

New Haven, home of Yale University and other higher learning institutions, offers the quintessential college town experience, with stimulation varying from the intellectual (take in an art film at Criterion Cinemas) to the hedonistic (party all night at Gotham Citi dance club). Old Saybrook, at the mouth of the Connecticut River, has a much quieter character, with the local architecture of this early settlement being one of the main draws on the Old Saybrook Walking Tour. And New London offers a little bit of new and old, as well as ferries to Long, Fishers and Block islands.

Forget the Hamptons. Forget Cape Cod. People who know escape to vacation rentals on Connecticut’s Eastern Shore.
