Joseph is a wonderful host. He was extremely helpful responding to questions in the first days as we settled into his lovely VRBO. Joseph mentioned that his twin daughters decorated the house, which we found to be welcoming and festive. The house was clean with an outdoor grill and hot-tub and a 10-minute walk to the water. The AC was amazing. It kept us very comfortable when the temperature ran hot & humid.Our shih tzu was also welcomed with a wonderful fenced-in yard to explore and chill out in. He had access to a dog bed as well as comfy dog designated space in the living room. We thoroughly enjoyed out time there.

Joe communicated with us ahead of our reservation, making sure we were set for our arrival and entry into the property. He takes pride in his property making an impressive effort to decorate the inside and outside for the holidays. We were welcomed with some treats for the humans and our two hound dogs!

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!

We loved staying at this great house near the water. It was very quiet and the neighborhood and surrounding areas were very nice. Plenty of amenities and dog friendly. Owner was very sweet and accommodating. I hope we will make it back in the future for a longer stay.

Joe's Beach Cottage is Wonderful

My husband and I really enjoyed our vacation in East Lyme/Niantic CT. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. Niantic is nice w/great restaurants and the best used book store I've ever experienced! Joe was very nice and answered all of our questions and keeps a lovely house.

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.
