Wonderful location (very close to downtown Niantic); clean, bright, beautiful home; well appointed kitchen overall; loved gate at top of stairs, rail for bottom bunk and high chair since I have a toddler; owner was very responsive, kind and helpful when needed. I would definitely recommend and stay again!

Beautiful home in a picturesque setting, secluded and perfect for quality time with family. Great set up for cooking whether in kitchen or on the grill. Beach toys, kayaks, and shallow, calm water makes this an ideal stay for young kids.

Photos are accurate. The area is quiet and peaceful. Kitchen well stocked and everything as described. The kitchen cupboards and drawers don't have knobs to open them so sometimes that was tricky but not a deal breaker.Owner responsive and communication open and easy for a couple of things that came up during our stay. I believe we resolved to both our satisfaction.

Great spot at Pleasure Beach

Great patio! Loved having easy water access with short walk to beach. We tend to cook more and eat in than some vacationers and the kitchen was well-equipped. We especially enjoyed walking out in low tide and swimming in the little cove. The real beach was a short walk for lovely sand and clearer water. The host was available and answered questions promptly. A great location, close to Niantic and to Waterford.

Trip to visit family in Connecticut

Very nice and comfortable stay. Easy walk to Pleasant Beach and boat launch. The kids had a blast getting blue crabs right off the back of the property. We all loved sitting on the back deck having our morning cup of coffee.

Perfect Waterfront Getaway

We normally stay in Niantic for spur of the moment weekend getaways, but decided to go for a waterfront property this time. The house was immaculate, plenty of room, and steps away from a small beach. Sunsets were beautiful, and the whole stay was exactly what we needed to recharge. Garon was friendly, available, and attentive. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and comfortable home!

Our stay was great, I booked this last minute as our previous booking fell through 1 day before our stay. We got lucky! This house was better than where we originally planned on staying. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and everything needed. The views are beautiful! We were so thrilled with this visit and would love to come back

relaxing stay with picturesque scenery

We booked this house for early September, the weather was still very warm with cool mornings and nights. Three of the four morning we stayed a bald eagle landed right outside during low tide. Very close to Niantic with great food, shops, parks, and beaches. the parks in Conn are great for little or adults, there is a rich history with many monuments throughout. The house was very accommodating, anything you would bring to the beach is supplied for you. Garon the house manager was also very helpful in suggestion of dinning and making sure everything was great. Would suggest this house to anyone!

Amazing Stay

I have rented numerous homes along the coast of CT. This was one of the best. The house has a great floor plan and there is ample parking rarely found at beach properties (Garage space and room for up to 5 more normal size cars if you block in the garage). The rear deck is huge. The kitchen is large and well configured There is a dock to launch the kyaks. Although there is not directly beach front, you just walk to the left of the property and you are out on a small beach that no one else really uses and is awesome or walk 5 minutes to the big beach. The property manager is very responsive and the reservation process is easy. I highly recommend it.

Relaxing Labor Day weekend with breathtaking views of Jordan Cove.

Garon, was very accommodating to our families needs. Always responded promptly to any questions or concerns that I had. Top notch Host. Would definitely rent again, next time we're in Connecticut. The home is very beautiful, comfortable, spacious, and very clean! The family cooks really loved the spacious kitchen. They were very impressed with the knife set. :) I loved the awesome view from the kitchen sink. The views of Jordan Cove were breathtaking. So cool to watch the tide roll in and out. The locals frequent the small beach along the sandbar. Seems to be a favorite. We saw several people fishing, kayaking, clamming, just hanging out. The water is shallow, so several people brought their dogs out to play along the sand bar. It was fun to watch. As we sat, cozy, on the deck, with all the comforts of home. Amazing weekend. Thanks to our host Garon.

Great little spot

Nice clean place. Great Central Air and nice comfortable space. The beach and sand bars are fun to explore. It's on a quite dead end with a nice deck overlooking the water with propane grill. The dock is a nice touch, but can't swim off of it. But the beach is a very short walk right next door. Short walk to boat ramp and fishing off the rocks.

We had a great week! The house was perfect for us - 2 families with 4 kids total. The kids loved having a sleepover every night in the bunk bed room. The kitchen had everything we needed for the few nights we cooked/grilled. The beach was an easy 5 minute walk and was never very busy. The cove in the backyard provided a beautiful view and tons of entertainment for the kids (recommended water shoes). Thanks for a great week!
