One of the most popular attractions in Connecticut is the wonderfully preserved Mystic Seaport museum village. Mystic Seaport is a living history museum with 17 acres of exhibits portraying coastal life in New England in the 19th century. Mystic, with its long history as a shipbuilding town and as a center of maritime activity, brings history alive with historic vessels, shops, as well as the Preservation Shipyard and exhibit galleries. Outside of the Village area, Mystic Seaport also has a number of exhibit galleries and shops which present the importance of the area's maritime legacy. In and around Mystic, there are a number of Connecticut vacation rentals by owner units to choose from, so enjoying this unique harbor village is easy.

While in Mystic, check out the Mystic Aquarium, one of the best aquariums on the entire eastern seaboard. A recent multi-million dollar expansion now includes an exhibit called the Alaskan Coast, an impressive 1-acre outdoor habitat featuring native Alaskan species such as white beluga whales.

The nearby port towns of Niantic, Old Saybrook, and Noank, like Mystic, are long on old New England charm and long on maritime history. These port towns also have a wealth of Connecticut vacation rentals by owner units available from which to choose

Mystic also is an ideal location to access the popular Foxwoods Casino in nearby Ledyard. People are surprised to find that the world's largest casino isn't in Las Vegas or Monaco, but resides in eastern Connecticut. With big-name entertainment, exciting high-stakes gaming, and frequent big prizefight title bouts, Foxwoods is giving Atlantic City a run for its money as THE major east coast casino. Unlike Atlantic City, though, at Foxwoods it's easy to leave the casino behind and quickly get to areas slightly more relaxed. There are a multitude of Connecticut vacation rentals by owner units to choose from when it's time to make the break from the excitement of gaming and just get back to relaxing.

 In northern Connecticut, the topography changes as the terrain begins to roll and the character becomes more rural. This area is an ideal place to enjoy nature with a hike, a canoe trip, or just a nice cruise in the country. It's also an ideal area to use as a jumping off point to take in the amazing fall foliage of the area and further north in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts.

There is skiing in Mohawk Mountain and covered bridges in Litchfield County. This is an ideal place to see the real character of New England, its little villages and its small-town hospitality. As the area emerges as a favorite to take in the fall colors, the number of Connecticut vacation rentals by owner units is growing.

Connecticut is a destination marked by both contrasts and convenience. Here you can find the world's largest casino and, down the road, find laid-back 19th century port towns and green, rolling hills and classic New England villages. Add to this its closeness to New York City, and you know why Connecticut is such a popular destination for vacationers. With a wealth of Connecticut vacation rentals by owner units in all price ranges, exploring the Constitution State is easier than ever.
