The house was perfect for us. We had 4 generations and there was space for all of us. Loved the balconies and being on the marsh. I accidentally locked us out the first day and the owner Lizz was quick to respond. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The boys enjoyed the kayaks. And we all enjoyed watcing the birds when on their nest. Highly recomend . The neighborhood was very quiet.

Incredible

This place was home to me and 5 of my cousins(All 60) for 5 glorious days. Lots of bedrooms (I got the master suite, which included a balcony overlooking the marsh with a birdseye view(no pun intended) of the Osprey nest with 2 Osprey in it !! The house was well-stocked with every thing necessary for our comfort! The private beach was beautiful, except the port-o-potties were way back at the parking lot, which was way too far to walk back. I would give this property a 10/10 !! I would definitely rent this little piece of heaven again!!!!

Christmas Vacation

Great, cozy property with beautiful views of the trees, community and osprey. Three bedrooms and sleeping space near the kitchen had great views. House includes a rec room with adjoining twin bed room on the lowest level, which we were looking forward to using but couldn’t because the area was wasn’t heated. Otherwise, wonderful house for all family members!

It is hard to out into words how much this home provided us with a beautiful, restful, peaceful and invigorating stay. Our hosts were attentive, organized, helpful and answered our questions immediately when we needed. The house is beautiful and the balcony views just breathtaking.

An Absolute Gem!

Can't say enough good things about this beautiful rental property. We found it to be clean, well stocked with all the amenities we would need, and spacious enough for our 3 small families to be comfortable. The owners are delightful to deal with and assured us that they would be available to reach if we needed anything (we didn't need a thing because the home had everything!). The location is convenient to many attractions. The home itself is situated on a fairytale lot. We could not have been more pleased and strongly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in that area of Connecticut.

Great home for multigeneration family group

We had a great stay at Osprey Cove! The views of the wetlands and osprey nest were amazing. We had a multi-generation group of 7 and the house was perfect for our needs. The house was well-maintained and clean. There was plenty of space, with living rooms on the first floor and lower floor. There was also lots of outdoor space, with balconies with seating. The beds were very comfortable. It was convenient to have four bathrooms. We appreciated the large dining table so our group could all eat together. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cutlery. It was a quick drive to the beach, and there was plenty of beach parking while we were there. The house had a lot of gear for the kids, with bikes, games, and puzzles. We didn't end up using the kayaks, but it was nice to have as an option. Communication with the owner was easy and fast. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

A perfect gathering place!

Our family really could not have been happier with our week at Osprey Cove... an ideal spot for our family gathering. With our group ranging in age from 6 to 89, we found the house to be very accommodating for all ages. If the review section allowed for more characters, I could go on and on about how great the house is, how incredible the location is, how cute the little town of Niantic is. This is such a great vacation spot! Overall, the house is NICE... everything is high quality. It was immaculately clean and well organized - we found everything we needed very easily. Very nice and convenient supply of beach gear. Lots of chairs and 2 nice big umbrellas. Helpful not to have to pack those big items! Aside from how nice the house is inside, then there is the magic and beauty of the location. The view from the back decks is something I don't think one could ever get tired of! As someone who loves to paddle board, it was truly one of the nicest places I've ever paddled. Winding through the salt march, out to the Sound... with the birds swooping and the train rumbling by - it was amazing. (The train doesn't use it's horn in that area so there is no major noise factor.) Highly recommend the nearby restaurant Fat Tuna. Great food and atmosphere. My family feels so fortunate to have found a place that worked out so well for our week together. We will cherish the memories and all the beautiful pictures we were able to take!

Lovely stay

The house was perfect for two families and their grown children, one couple with an infant and two dogs! There were several spaces for quiet times and a big enough table and a well equipped kitchen for us to cook and eat together. The kayaks were great and the osprey nest across from the balcony had 2 babies - beautiful. Excellent and fast communication with the owners.

Osprey Cove

We had a great 4 day get away with my kids, their spouses and children. The house was large enough for everyone to hang out together and had private spaces to accommodate for alone time. It was a quiet peaceful location with a private association beach about 1 mile away. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. The 2 decks and a screened in porch really added to the relaxed feeling. The owner was also very responsive to questions etc. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay at Liz’s house. Very spacious and there were rooms/areas for everyone to spread out but also plenty of spots for everyone to join together. We spent evenings on the enclosed porch playing card games and mornings drinking coffee on the balconies. Beach was a short (but hilly!) walk or a very short drive, and the water was absolutely perfect for the kids. Calm and not too crowded. The house had great AC and lots of amenities. Liz was a helpful and responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again!

Peaceful family getaway

Wonderful property located on a peaceful marsh with beautiful birds-ospreys, egrets, herons-kayaking on calm waters. The house is in excellent condition and perfect for multigenerational families with children who want to spend time together as well as private time. Location is great-2 minutes by car from beach; walkable too (~10 min), right at edge of hiking path in nature park. Liz is a great host- very responsive. Lots of amenities-towels, beach chairs, etc. and even interesting and fun toys for children The pictures don’t do it justice-it is even better than it looks.

Perfect family beach vacation

Our stay was extremely relaxing and we loved this home. It was spacious and accommodating. We hope to visit again in coming years. The location is amazing being near a trail, close to the beach and 10 mins from downtown restaurants. The neighborhood is cute and included many friendly neighbors who said hi during our evening strolls. The views from the backyard/decks are spectacular. We were able to see the Osprey everyday. We walked a few times to the beach and also used the beach pass to park close by. The hosts are easy to communicate with so definitely reach out if you have questions and are considering booking this rental.

Hershey getaway

We were very pleased with the accommodations and the condition of the property and the location. We were pleasantly surprised to see the twin beds in the lower level, which were not shown on the pictures that were online. It was the perfect place for the teenagers, we did a little bit of kayaking. We went to the beach and spent lots of time playing games and reconnecting his family. Liz was very easy to connect with, and answered our questions quickly we were very pleased to have her as a host. Because it is midway between Maine and Pennsylvania we may be using this vacation home again.
