Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Old Lyme

It was easy to find, plenty of parking, nice backyard space, the house was as described and pictured. We felt right at home!

We had a great stay at this cottage- it was a perfect size for our family and was extremely clean, warm and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the quick walk to the beach, and proximity to town. Hosts were very friendly and responsive but never intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Laurie was an amazing host, very responsive! We wanted to bring our dog with us for the weekend and the fenced in yard added to the great experience! The place is much larger than the photos with plenty of living room space for the family. The kitchen was well equipped, with everything needed! We appreciated her hospitality and friendliness and would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful weekend at Aude's home in Essex. The setting was beautiful and the house itself was immaculate. It is a 7 minute drive to the center of town, which was convenient. The host was very responsive and quick to fix any concerns we brought to her attention. I would definitely return to this Airbnb!

Lots of space to hang out. Beautifully remodeled. Loved the bits and pieces in the pantry. Had regular coffee pot as well as keurig. Well stocked kitchen to make our big breakfasts.

We had an amazing stay at Peter’s home by Saint Clement’s Castle for our wedding weekend! From start to finish, Peter was an exceptional host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly flexible with the details of our stay, which helped make a busy and emotional weekend so much smoother. The home itself was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully maintained. Every room felt comfortable and inviting, and the clean, updated aesthetic made it the perfect place to relax between events and get ready for our big day. It truly felt like a peaceful retreat during a very special time in our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Peter’s place to anyone visiting the area—especially for events at Saint Clement’s. Thank you again, Peter!

We loved our stay in Westbrook! Mia's lovely home exceeded our expectations in terms of decor, furnishings, cleanliness, comfortable beds, and well-stocked kitchen and bath ... all in a quiet and private setting. The house was especially well-situated for us. We had tickets for a special theater performance at Gillette Castle one evening, and then had to be in New Haven on the next day. All were easy drives. And, there are amazing fine dining options nearby. We'll definitely try to book this wonderful place any time we have events in the area. Thank you, Mia, for a magical Autumn weekend in Connecticut!

Thank you for a wonderful weekend! I especially appreciated the condiments and breakfast items you had available!! Laundry and cleaning supplies accessible The yard space was so beautiful and peaceful

The pool house is so cute and the outdoor patio is gorgeous and the perfect place to relax. Great place to stay if you want to stay near New Haven but also want to enjoy quiet away from the city. Sue is a responsive and very generous host!

Beautiful home, very clean, spacious and comfortable to stay with the family. We used the grill on multiple occasions and it was easy to use. The fire pitt was also enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked, would bring own source of caffeine if you’re picky with your coffee though. Stephen, the host was very responsive and easy to reach when asked questions. The one thing I would recommend is to check in with the host if the pool is available to use prior to booking. Overall a great experience, would stay with them again.

We had an excellent stay while attending our son's graduation at UCONN. The place was clean and homey, perfect when traveling back and forth. Our plans changed and we did not bring our dog, and Ashley was kind enough to refund us. My son goes back to UConn in the fall for his master's, and we know where we will stay again next May.

Patrick and Monica were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. They were communicative, helpful, and especially great with our dogs. We loved the property and left feeling fully rested. We would love to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at Milton & Megan's Montauk house! It was perfect for a group of 4 (2 couples) there for a 4 day trip. The house is very quiet & peaceful, with lots of outdoor space, but also very walkable to town. The house was super clean, and everything was very easy to find. The bedrooms had lots of closet space, the TV was easy to set up, and all the amenities listed on the website were accurate. We'd love to come back again and stay. Thanks!

Always love staying at Ron’s. It’s so peaceful. Perfect location and beautiful Ocean views with a short ride if you need to go to town. Montauk Music Fest is a must. Amazing talent and great way to see all Montauk venues. Ron so great to have as a host!

A beautiful house to always spend time with important people.

Alice’s place was great! We’ll be back again for sure.

What a beautiful place! We needed accommodations for our family as we attended our daughter’s graduation. This place was perfect . Plenty of space and we had everything we needed . We didn’t want to leave .

We loved our stay here for when we visited New Haven! The place was clean and worked perfect for our dog! We loved the farm outside and the peaceful and private area outside. Would stay here again!

Jim’s place was great, with plenty to see in the area. We ended up spending most of the time enjoying the little beach and kayaks. Very cute house with plenty of room and we’ll stocked kitchen. The grill made for a perfect Labor Day cookout looking out at the water. Would stay again.

Enjoyed my stay in Erin's adorable cottage! Walking distance to great restaurants and the boardwalk. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful stay! Close to beautiful historic downtown Essex. Short walk to coffee shop in the morning and dinner at night! Kayaking in Long Island sound! Great biking! Super clean, well decorated. Everything was new and Very cozy! Perfect couples getaway in the lower Connecticut valley!! Highly recommend!

This is a charming house in a pretty busy spot along a beach entry. Lots of people like to hang near the house at the entry and walk by on the stone wall. We were there during a quiet , cool time so most days it was peaceful. However, on the warm sunny Saturday/Sunday of Memorial Day weekend it was very busy with people chatting outside the window until fairly late. I did not find it a major negative since we enjoy a lively space but I think it is something you might want to know if you have young children who go to bed early. The view is spectacular and the neighborhood is great to take a walk.

My 6-week stay was a dream! Kat's Niantic Loft is fresh and stylish in a modern beach theme, with comfortable beds and furnishings. Every amenity you'd want is here--whether for a weekend or a longer residence like mine. Enjoy the quiet of the neighborhood and walkable access to great restaurants, beaches, and shops in downtown Niantic. Kat is a top-notch host, who responds quickly and kindly to every request. One note: all guests will need to be able to manage a flight of outdoor stairs to enter. And you'll be delighted when you do. Don't miss the Niantic Loft!

Amazing location on the beach, with the Sound a few steps away from the deck, yet still close to town. Loved the birdlife! Home was very clean and well stocked. Laura was easy to work with and responsive. A very enjoyable stay!
