The Beach House was the perfect place for two sisters who don’t get to see each other often enough to meet up for sister time. A well-stocked kitchen and plenty of towels, comfortable beds and attentive hosts all contributed to a happy stay. The icing on the cake was the beautiful sunset at the end of the street and Roberto’s enthusiastic tour of the spectacular gardens that he and Jacqueline have created. Jaw-dropping. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Comfy Summer Beach Cottage

Enjoyed our stay, comfortable, safe, had everything we needed. Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to the CrowdSrtike computer meltdown and the ripple effect on the airlines. That said would happily stay here again. Jacqueline was an awesome host, great communication with her and very supportive and understanding with the situation we ended up in. Took up her recommendation to watch the sunset from the end of the street, it was beautiful! Look forward to coming back to explore the rest of her recommendations. Thanks for sharing your home!!

Perfect for what we needed

We were only staying in town for a few days, and were really happy to find somewhere that was clean, dry, and let us stay for only 4 nights in the summer! It was also nice and quiet, close to the beach we wanted to spend our time at, and easy to get to. It had everything we needed, and the kids appreciated the smart tv.

Very clean. Welcome instructions were a nice touch. So much better than a hotel for we entertained our visiting Grandchildren at Christmas. Cooked steaks on the grill baked potatos in the oven. All the comforts of home. Jacqueline thought of everything for guests including tooth brushes (we didn’t need). Highly recommend

"The Beach House" is in a quiet, safe, walkable neighborhood. I was busy but able to get in a nice walk which leads to the water and catch a beautiful sunset. The house was quiet and had all the kitchen gadgets if you want to cook. I also enjoyed having plenty of towels and bottled water. It had everything I needed and more. That's why my friend recommended it. Thanks so much!

The Beach House had just what the two of us needed. The salt marsh at the end of the street had lovely sunsets. The neighborhood was quiet, so we could rest and relax. The location had easy access to everything we wanted to do - from Niantic to Hartford.

Very comfortable and quiet. Sweet neighborhood by the salt marshes. Easy access to grocery store and the beach town where we were having a huge weeklong family reunion. So the quiet at night was perfect for us.

Best and Warmest Welcome Stay Ever!

When we saw the home online, we thought it was perfect for our weekend stay to visit family in CT. The home was very clean and accommodated very nicely. We couldn't be happier with our hosts Jaqueline and Roberto. They are the kindest and friendliest hosts we've ever had! The location is great and the coolest surprise is the botanical garden next door on the property. What an amazing tropical sanctuary! We took lots of pictures to capture the beauty! Our family had an incredible memorable stay and we couldn't be happier! We look forward to next year when we return for another family visit!

Our Wonderful Stay At Jacqueline and Roberto's House

Well located for easy finding and short distances to shopping, places to eat and, for us, other family members. The interior decorations were stunning, very attractive and interesting. Good internet connection; comfortable bed and other furnishings; and all other amenities were very much up to our expectations. We definitely strongly recommended Jacqueline and Roberto's Beach House.

Great stay!

It was centrally located, clean, equipped with what we needed and more. The owners were easy to get ahold of. Quaint little cottage in a really quiet neighborhood. The only thing that needs looking at is the air conditioner in the bedroom. It was not blowing cold air at the time of our stay, but the other one was!

Perfect Get Away

This home is perfect and the hosts have it stocked with everything (even toothbrushes). The check in instructions were clear and easy. When we arrived, there were letters giving details on what's in the house, restaurants, activities, instructions, etc. The home itself is beautiful and peaceful with a private back patio with comfortable furniture. The house is beautifully decorated and the TV is new, up-to-date, smart TV with a curved screen (my husband’s favorite). If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, look no further, this is your place.
