We had the best time! The house was great and the little bay was wonderful for exploring and swimming. Our kids spent every day splashing and trying to catch stuff with their nets. The area is so nice and peaceful. The host was very friendly and responsive.

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.

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 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!

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.

Great Family Stay

Great communication with owner throughout the planning process. House was well appointed and clean. Location was amazing. We enjoyed lots of time out in the cove, on foot and in the 3 provided kayaks. We also loved watching the scenery change as the tide went in and out. One thing to note: you cannot use the north end of Pleasure Beach, a membership is required and we were asked to leave. You must remain on the south end. We decided hanging out in the cove was more fun anyways. Would absolutely stay again.
Outside hoses and showers made clean up a breeze.
