Shore Towns Vacation Rentals

Just beyond the “Gold Coast” of Fairfield County lies a stretch of Connecticut shore that’s less like New York and more like New England. If you’re looking for a weekend getaway near the water, look to these Connecticut shore town vacation rentals.

If you don’t have your own private beach, coastal access points are common. The smaller towns always have a few great restaurants and antique shops, while New London and Mystic have a myriad of amenities.

Set one day aside to visit the town of Mystic, home to the Mystic Aquarium and the Mystic Seaport, a maritime museum and recreated whaling village of the 1800s. The whole family will enjoy Ocean Beach Park, a small amusement park in New London, while couples and singles might look to Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun Casino for an exciting evening.
