About this property

Family Cottage Steps from the Beach!

This classic New England cottage is the perfect family retreat in a private beach community. Enjoy your coffee on the front porch while you watch the sun rise over the Bay. Kayak through the backwaters in the morning and lounge on any one of our three beaches in the afternoon. At low tide, watch the kids crab while you relax with a book. When it's high tide, break out the floats or swim to the raft. In the evenings, play croquet or bocce on the lawn while dinner grills on the back patio. After dinner, take a bike ride around the Point or play one of our many vintage boardgames. Black Point Beach Association has many amenities, including the Black Point Market, tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground, and a boat launch.

Niantic has great restaurants, a beautiful boardwalk, shops, a children's museum and movie theater. It is also only a 30 minute drive from the many attractions of southeastern Connecticut: the outlet malls in Clinton and Westbrook, the casinos Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, the state parks Hammonasset and Rocky Neck, Mystic Seaport and Aquarium, Jonathan Edwards Vineyards and Fox Farm Brewery, and much more!

If you're planning a getaway shorter than a week in June or September, please get in touch with us. We may be able to make it work!

About the host

Hosted by The Maglathlins

Host profile image
Nancy, Abby, and Sarah have spent their summers in Black Point since childhood. As our family has grown and spread out, though, we haven't gotten to enjoy the Beach House as often as we'd like, so we want to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for three generations. The private beaches and the quaint New England town with its shops and restaurants make it the perfect family getaway.
