Great location and lots of amenities

Overall, we enjoyed this cottage and the location was fantastic. We especially enjoyed having all the beds all made up when we got there! Jenn was great and very responsive. The house had everything we needed both for the kitchen and also the beach cart, chairs, shovels, umbrella and everything else you might need. We did miss having an outdoor shower and the upstairs AC units were extremely loud and placed right over the bed. Also, we couldn't get the TVs to allow us to watch anything or watch live basic TV. We would certainly stay again as the cottage was roomy and well kept and stocked and the location and owner were fantastic.

Adorable cozy vacation home!

This home is adorable or as my kids called it (the doll house). The property is very well kept up, very clean! It catches your eyes. The inside is cozy but spacious and we are a family of eight and let me just say we all had our space in the house we weren’t in each other faces.. my teenagers were in their own world while my toddlers had all the space to play with their toys and omgeee the beach.!! Literally a 5 min walk.. neighborhood is so quiet and friendly. Back to the beach though my kids (toddlers and teenagers) enjoyed the private beach they played, they splashed in the water which by the way is low tide perfect for lil ones. It is deff kids approved haha… and you can lay out and sun bathe without being bothered or crowded. We took a ride to the boardwalk which is only about 7-10 minute ride it’s beautiful out there. Theirs restaurants to eat at. Dollar general was our go to haha.. my toddlers looked forward to seeing the train pass by. We will deff be revisiting again if Jennifer will allow us.! I must say I am missing it out there! The peacefulness is everything.

Great Location

I have rented in Giants Neck Heights before and mos t of the houses are on a pretty big hill that makes a tough walk to the beach. This house is at the bottom of the hill, an easy 4-5 minute walk to the beach. There is plenty of room for a large group to spread out, but be aware that there is only one bathroom. The kitchen is small but well stocked. There is also an outdoor patio with a gas grill and large table. Beach chairs and a cart are available for your use, which I haven't seen in other houses I have rented. The house is older, so there are things like light switches in odd paces, but the host has done a nice job labeling things. Instructions were clear for TV, wifi, etc., and manuals were available. Communication with the owner was great. Any questions were answered in minutes. Finally, if you have trouble with stairs, this place is not for you. There are rather tall stairs to enter the house and up to the second floor bedrooms. If that is not an issue, I highly recommend this house.

Summer 2023 Vacation

My mom, sister, and I stayed at this nice cottage for a week in June. It has everything you need – a fully equipped kitchen, sheets, blankets and towels, and beach chairs, umbrella, and cart. We loved the short walk to the beach, low tide sand bars, and being able to walk along Rocky Neck State Beach. Downtown Niantic is a short drive to grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. Quaint towns nearby to explore. The owner was easy to work with, and replied to questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great family vacation home

This was our second stay at the cottage. (See review titled " Close to beach" ) Just like last year, we found this house clean, well equipped, with and easy walk to the beach. Will definately be back next year.
