The property was incredible, so clean and very accurate to what was described in the listing. Bob and Jill were very helpful and insightful in what to do around the area. If you are looking for something quaint and in a nice and quiet neighborhood very close to beach access, this is your place to be!

This updated turnkey cottage was extremely well-equipped with everything we needed. It was very attractively decorated. Beds were comfortable and A/C kept us cool. It was a short drive to the private association beach that borders Rocky Neck State Park with easy drop-off and convenient parking.

Communication was great leading up to check-in which went smoothly. The house was clean and the kitchen had appliances, along with plenty of dishes, glasses, and silverware to use. The location is great- a short drive to the beach which was amazing. It was a quiet neighborhood but just a short drive to restaurants and shopping in Niantic.

The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed to have a small family Thanksgiving. Quiet neighborhood, a 5 minute drive to Rocky Neck State Park. The hosts responded immediately when I was confused about the wifi password (my fault, not theirs.) Would recommend for a small family get-together or a place to celebrate with friends.

Great cottage!

This well maintained cottage in Niantic was clean, cozy and comfortable. While we didn’t have an opportunity to cook, the kitchen was well equipped. The house plants and great selection of books was a nice touch. The owners Bob & Jill were very accessible. We would definitely stay there again.
