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

Beautiful property, better than I expected. Very clean upon arrival. Had plenty of kitchen and pantry essentials Plenty of room for the 6 of us, would actually sleep 8 people. Extra bonus we were able to bring our dog. Shed had bikes and helmets for kids to use, we brought their scooters which they were able to ride around the community. Beautiful private beach and definitely a short walk. We all enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back. Thanks to our great host Rob!

Great Vacation Experience

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.

Rob was a great host. He sent detailed information about the property ahead of our stay and was easy to reach with any question we had during our stay. This is a great property, with lots of activities nearby (beach and boat launch) and on-site (bikes, yard games, a grill). Also, the village of Niantic is a ten-minute drive and has a lot of cute shops, a theater, and good restaurants. The wifi was steady and reliable. Best of all, the property is dog friendly, and our pup loved being able to hang out in the yard in the morning. My one complaint is that there is no dishwasher, and not because we had to wash dishes by hand afterwards. It’s because we had to wash most dishes/glasses before we used them; whoever used them before us did not wash them well. My sense is that there have been other guests who just rushed to wash them to satisfy the requirement of not leaving a dirty kitchen.

Return trip

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!

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.
