Wonderful Accomodations in Quaint Neighborhood With Beach
Thoughtfully appointed and acessorized. Nothing overlooked. Nice quiet beach was a short walk away. We had 4 adults and were very comfortable and would look to stay here again if the need arises.
Four nights with my wife and pet. Clean, well provisioned and comfortable. Toni is planning to host her girlfriends here! The beach was beautiful, warm water and also clean.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this super clean beach house! Excellent location! We loved the beach and kayaking so close by. Each day we went on a different adventure- A private sail in Mystic, shopping in Essex, enjoyed the best restaurants in Old Saybrook, and the waves at the Rhode Island beaches!
Rob was an excellent host!
This house was perfect for my husband, our young daughter, and our dog for a long weekend. There were plenty of kitchen supplies, linens, space, etc. for us. The neighborhood was peaceful and very walkable with easy access to the private beach and neighboring Rocky Neck State Park. Rob, the owner, was friendly and communicative throughout the process and when we were there. We only wish that we could have stayed longer.
Everything is excellent. The property, location and neighborhood. Host Rob was amazing - everything perfectly organized, nice touches throughout. This was a great week for our family of 4... Morning runs and hikes, days at the beach, afternoon kayaking... So relaxing. Thank you Rob.
This was our second time staying here. We stayed last year and had just as good a time as before. The house is so comfortable and clean. Has everything one could need so didn’t have to pack as much. Enjoyed the kayaks and having a fire. Another great perk about this house is its central location to SO MUCH! The neighborhood is so quiet and nice. The host has great communication and makes everything easy! Can’t wait to come back again!
We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Niantic over Laboe Day weekend . The house was clean spacious and decorated in a nice beachy theme throughout . Many household amenities provided and plenty of items for the beach and kids to play with in the yard .Check-in was simple. Rob answered any questions quickly and thoroughly. He provided a fantastic guide book with suggestions for restaurants and activities Having the beach pass to park in the association lot was perfect. And the private beach was awesome Niantic is a lovely area. Walking along Main St and the boardwalk in the evening with the kids was such a nice way to wind down after a day at the beach (especially with an ice cream !)Overall a perfect stay …maybe the only suggestion would be to enclose the outside shower !!Will definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for a coastal getaway
Our family enjoyed our stay at this charming, nicely decorated updated cottage. Unfortunately, our stay coincided with some stormy weather which ended up closing the beaches nearby due to high bacteria counts.
The cottage itself was fine, comfortable and well outfitted.
A firmer queen-sized mattress upstairs would be helpful, as well as firming up the stairs to reduce creaking boards which woke up everyone at night time.
The house was more than I expected! It was larger than it seemed in the pictures. Rob was great, very responsive and friendly. There was so much stuff in the shed for the beach! We had friends visit a couple of the days and we had more than enough chairs and wagons. We hope to make this our new yearly vacation.
The house was perfect … fully equipped with everything we needed. Very comfortable, great neighborhood.
Short walk to a great beach.
Rob was an amazing host! He checked in on us a few days into our stay to make sure we were all set.
Communication from beginning to end was wonderful. Rob emailed and left a copy of recommendations for activities, meals, etc.
We were thrilled with the restaurants we tried based on that.
Overall a wonderful week. Would definitely come back!
The home was clean and comfortable (great A/C) and the location was great for our needs, within walking distance to a private association beach and close to other family attractions. It also included a beach parking pass that allowed us to drop off family with chairs, etc at the beach's edge and then park only a few hundred feet away. The beds were very comfortable with a first floor bedroom perfect for a grandparent. There are three bedrooms in total that can sleep six plus a sofa bed in the living room. The yard was wonderful for the children to play frisbee, fly their toy planes, and play cornhole. The nearby association playground provided gym equipment and tennis courts. Check in and check out were easy. The host was incredibly responsive, personable and helpful throughout our stay. He provided beach chairs, adult bikes, beach umbrella, cooler, kayaks---all the supplies on site for a fun vacation. We definitely want to return.
The property was wonderful and so close to the beach, tennis, and kayak launch!! Rob was extremely responsive and helped to make our arrival and stay easy and stress free.
House was just what we were looking for with 3 clean bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen, quiet friendly neighborhood, beach supplies and more. Thanks for a great week!
Incredibly well-equipped kitchen (huge plus for me) and clean and comfortable rooms made our stay super enjoyable. We spent lots of time on the deck and enjoyed the breeze and the sounds of birds and nothing else. What a perfect place to vacation.
We enjoyed our long weekend away with our family of four and our fur baby. The place was spotless the manager was great with communication and the location was PERFECT. We will definitely be going back.
Perfect place for us during USCGA graduation it was close to the academy and the events during the week. It was a bit too chilly to enjoy the beach/water, but great place to stay.
