Lovely Spot

Beautiful views of the cove and very quiet neighborhood. The multiple sliding doors onto the patio allowed the sea breezes into the house. My family enjoyed being able to go out the sand bar at low tide, and the house was convenient to many attractions for children.

Great Location!

This is the second summer we stayed here and it was amazing. The views are amazing and the neighbor's are great also. Very quiet neighborhood. Sitting on the deck each morning having coffee is life giving! Caught plenty of fish all week from plum gut to watch hill. Definitely returning again. Janice was very helpful and responsive. Thanks again.

Perfect location

Beautiful views from the large deck and sun room. The dock was a wonderful extra. For us the location was perfect, close to everyone else attending the wedding we were here for. It was very close to the venue, the restaurants we wanted to go to and the beaches. The loft is a great space for kids over six, the stairs were to steep for our younger grandchildren.

Great getaway

We had a great week with the family here watching the tide come in and the animals entertain. Hoping next year to get some fishing in,, great location neighbors and house. It was like a home away from home. Easy process from start to finish, nothing amiss everything st our fingertips. A 4th of July for the books.

We had a fabulous trip to the Cove last week! The property was just as described. It had everything you could need, but the view was my favorite part! We enjoyed the bird watching and went kayaking and my grown kids even had fun hanging out on the sandbars. (Highly suggest water shoes to get there though!) Even though sitting on the back patio or in the sunroom felt like miles away from the rest of the world, it is close to all the necessities and more. We made little side trips to Niantic, Groton and Mystic as they are close. We will definitely be looking to stay again!

Fantastic View

Property is as described. A few bumps in the road on our two week stay but Janice the property manager was very responsive as were the actual owners. The view is amazing from just about every room. All in all we enjoyed the house and the location was perfect to entertain family that is in the area. Oh and the dock was perfect for my husbands boat as long as you pay attention to the tides and the location of the sandbars.

Jordan Cove

I’ve wanted to rent this property for several years and after our neighbors rented last summer and gave it a great review we managed to get in for a week this month. It is an older house but very well taken care of and the lawn and surrounding view of the water are breathtaking. Birds and rabbits visit when you are out on the deck and it is just the place for real relaxation. Comfortable beds and furniture are some of the added bonuses. We hope to return.
