Super cute & fun get away

This house was great for our family & there were lots of nice touches, like the playground in the yard, the board games & cookies, and all the lights and decorations. Our kids also loved the jetted tub! The beach is a short walk away and there's a community center down the block with a larger playground and tennis courts. Perfect spot for families like ours!

Extended stay in Niantic

We stayed at Joe’s property for over two weeks, and we absolutely loved it! My dogs enjoyed the spacious yard, happily exploring the area surrounded by a charming picket fence. We appreciated the short walks to the various nearby beaches and enjoyed admiring all the beautiful homes in the area.Upon our arrival, Joe greeted us with delicious cookies and had thoughtfully prepared everything we might need, including dog treats, beds, water, and bowls in case we forgot anything. He was quick to respond to any questions we had and even suggested additional beaches for us to visit beyond those already available to us.I would definitely stay here again; it was a wonderfully relaxing experience.Have a great day!

Lovely getaway

We had such a great experience here! Joseph was so gracious and responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay great. His place is so cute with a mix of whimsical and really convenient touches. Our dog loved the yard, too! The neighborhood is gorgeous, too. We wished we had more time to explore the area and to take advantage of all the house has to offer.

Whimsical, lovely home for our stay

This home and property are really cutely designed and decorated. The house is older, but very well maintained and has really unique decor. From beach to Holiday to mid-century modern it made us smile every time we walked in the door. The yard was wonderful for our dogs and the amenities were really pretty great for the price. The neighborhood is very walkable and there’s even a little store situated in the middle of the neighborhood. Run by a family with children. It was such a nice surprise. We would love to stay here again.

Joe's Beach Cottage is Wonderful

Very nice house and location. Loved the decor especially the bubble nightlights. The host was easy to reach and the neighborhood was perfect for walking our dog. The beds could use a little updating but, otherwise, it was a perfect weekend. Highly recommend.

Christmas in Connecticut

The experience was perfect - the cottage was very clean, very comfortable, spacious, cheerful, bright, accommodating, and the host was very hospitable, kind, and accessible. We really enjoyed our stay. The fenced-in yard was perfect for our fur-buddies we brought with us. We plan to return.

Lovely, well maintained property. Short walk to the shoreline and the neighborhood market (which has great coffee, muffins, shakes, etc). The fenced yard was wonderful for the dogs. Serene and quiet but friendly neighborhood. Excellent communication with property owner and easy check-in/out. Everything was as described on the site and it made for a wonderful weekend getaway!

Perfect way to end the summer

We do a fair amount of vacation rentals as a family and this is, without exaggeration, one of the best places we've stayed. You can tell the owner cares about the home and property. Immaculately kept, very unique, close to everything you might want in that Niantic area. We can't wait to book it again!

Former Educator now working in Finance industry... Lives in Vero Beach, FL and Niantic, CT... I also enjoy being a great host for all of my guests and being able to enhance their vacation experience here at beautiful BlackPoint Beach !

Why they chose this property


BlackPoint Beach Club is a private beach community on the Connecticut Shoreline that is extremely beautiful, charming, and serene... The sound of waves crashing at night - along with the sweet smell of sea water - is simply captivating ! Our peaceful neighborhood includes a quaint grocery store with an amazing deli and shop... In addition, there are lots of biking, walking, hiking, swimming, and boating experiences for you to explore when you arrive here !

What makes this property unique


Our neighborhood is basically a very small island on Niantic Bay in a quintessential New England waterfront setting with a rich maritime heritage... We have a variety of local beaches, quaint downtown areas, and a very special connection to the sea !

You are right down the road from three beaches...I especially love the convenience and charm of our very own BlackPoint Grocery Market which is run by a local family here.. It has an excellent grocery selection, penny candy, neat toys & trinkets for kids, and lots of beach souvenirs... And of course, it has an amazing deli that provides only the highest quality and freshly made food for your convenience such as grinders, quiches, breakfast sandwiches, ice cream, slushies, etc.

You will absolutely love your stay here at BlackPoint Beach Club - Welcome !
