Vacation Rentals & Villas

Connecticut is the very place where the great Mark Twain spun his tales of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. It's also in Redding in Connecticut where he spent the last years of his life, and these alone make the Nutmeg State worth visiting. Connecticut ranks 48th in the United States in terms of area and with nearly 3.6 million people it ranks 29th in the terms of population. The capital of Connecticut is Hartford, but its largest city is Bridgeport.

If in the interiors of the state you would experience a humid continental climate, typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters, then on the Connecticut shoreline (the state's southern four counties) more often than not, you would experience a humid subtropical climate, characterized by hot, humid summers and mild to cool winters.

Connecticut is well connected by road, rail and air, making it that much easier for you to reach the Connecticut vacation rental of your choice. The Bradley International Airport located in Windsor Locks, Tweed New Haven Regional Airport and Danbury Municipal Airport and Waterbury-Oxford Airport in western Connecticut are the major commercial airports of the state.
