Your home, cared for like it’s our own.
Whether you’re renting out a coastal cottage, a primary residence while you relocate, or a seasonal property along the Connecticut shoreline — Seaport delivers attentive, owner-first management for every kind of single family home.
Built for the way real owners actually live.
Single family management isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ve shaped our service around the three kinds of owners we hear from most often along the shoreline.
The Long-Distance Owner
You inherited the family house, relocated for work, or invested from out of state. You need someone you trust to be the local eyes and hands — without calling you for every leaky faucet.
The Seasonal Resident
Your shoreline home is your retreat from May to October. The other six months, it shouldn’t be a worry. We handle off-season checks, winterization, and turn-of-season readiness so you arrive to a house that’s ready for you.
The Investor-Landlord
You own one to a handful of single-family rentals and you’d rather grow your portfolio than answer maintenance calls. We protect your asset, keep tenants happy, and report transparently every month.
Everything a single family home actually needs.

Your shoreline home, watched all year long.
If your home is empty for part of the year, it shouldn’t be unwatched. Our seasonal program is built for owners who close up after Labor Day or before the first hard freeze — and want to know that someone is showing up while they’re away.
- Bi-weekly or monthly interior and exterior property checks
- Winterization: pipes, irrigation, exterior faucets, HVAC settings
- Storm-prep response and post-storm damage assessments
- Mail forwarding and package retrieval
- Snow plowing and landscaping coordination
- Pre-arrival opening: cleaning, fresh linens, stocked essentials
- Coordination with cleaners, contractors, and deliveries on your schedule
- Photo and video reports after every visit

Things owners ask us first.
What does single family management cost?
Our pricing is custom to your property and the level of service you need. Most owners fall into a percentage-of-rent or flat monthly fee structure, with no markups on vendor invoices. We’ll give you a clear, all-in number in your proposal.
Do you handle vacant homes that aren’t rented?
Yes — that’s the heart of our seasonal program. Many of our owners aren’t renting their shoreline home out at all; they just want it watched, maintained, and ready for them.
Where do you operate?
Mystic, Stonington, Groton, New London, Waterford, Old Lyme, Westbrook, and the surrounding shoreline communities. If you’re close, ask — we likely cover you.
Will I be charged a markup on repairs?
No. Vendor invoices pass through to you at cost. We’re paid by our management fee, not by hidden margin on contractor work.
Can I still use my own preferred plumber or landscaper?
Absolutely. We’re happy to coordinate with vendors you already trust, as long as they meet our insurance and licensing requirements.
How quickly can you take over my property?
For most homes, 7 to 14 days from signing. Seasonal-only properties are often faster.
Ready for a home you don’t have to worry about?
Tell us about your property. We’ll come back with a thoughtful, written proposal — no high-pressure sales calls, no template responses.
