Great rental to enjoy this part of the Connecticut shore. Lots of access to beaches, activities and restaurants in Niantic and greater area. House is very well kept and well appointed. Excellent location to town and more even more retail to the north. Host is excellent communicator and takes pride in their rental. Excellent for short or long stay. Very quiet and convenient.

What a wonderful experience! The cottage was very clean and orderly, with lots of character. I was a bit concerned about the temperature in the house, with no central air, but three window units (one in each bedroom and one downstairs) kept the home comfortable. The owner was extremely responsive to all communication, often responding within a couple hours. I would not hesitate to book this home again for another stay in the area.

We had a fantastic stay at this Niantic, CT home over the long holiday weekend. The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable (family of 5), and well-equipped. Communication with the owner was excellent and very prompt. Good location: just a short walk to town, making it easy to enjoy local shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Hector was an amazing host with wonderful communication. The house was incredibly clean and the fish pond outside was a hit for the kids. I walked to the board way daily on sidewalks and enjoyed the beach. There were so many wonderful restaurants within mins as well. Our rooms were very comfortable.
