IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO NIANTIC BEFORE - Niantic is a seaside village located in the town of East Lyme. It is an active family orientated community with locally owned bars, restaurants, ice cream shops, movie cinema, kid's museum, retail shops and yes...BEACHES...lots of them. There are two town beaches (Hole in the wall and McCook), one state beach (Rock Neck State Park) and numerous of private neighborhood beaches (Crescent, Black Point, Oak Grove, Davis, etc. Then there is arguable the nicest waterfront walkways in CT. The Niantic Bay Boardwalk is 1.1 miles (1.6 km) long with dozens of built in benches along the way. It is reserved for walkers and runners only.

NON WATERFRONT ACTIVITIES: 10 minutes away is a large Stop & Shop grocery store, COSTCO, large drug store and a movie theater. Casinos, Mystic Village, Seaport and Aquarium are 20 minutes away. Historic Old Lyme with its museums and Art Schools are the next town over. Just 15 minutes away is Old Saybrook with historic Fenwick and The Kate Theater. Going in the other direction, 15 minutes away is New London with its historic waterfront, the Garde Arts Theater and ferries to Long Island, Fishers Island and Block Island.

The house was more than I expected! It was larger than it seemed in the pictures. Rob was great, very responsive and friendly. There was so much stuff in the shed for the beach! We had friends visit a couple of the days and we had more than enough chairs and wagons. We hope to make this our new yearly vacation.

Return trip
This was our second time staying here. We stayed last year and had just as good a time as before. The house is so comfortable and clean. Has everything one could need so didn’t have to pack as much. Enjoyed the kayaks and having a fire. Another great perk about this house is its central location to SO MUCH! The neighborhood is so quiet and nice. The host has great communication and makes everything easy! Can’t wait to come back again!

A Lovely Getaway Spot
This house was perfect for my husband, our young daughter, and our dog for a long weekend. There were plenty of kitchen supplies, linens, space, etc. for us. The neighborhood was peaceful and very walkable with easy access to the private beach and neighboring Rocky Neck State Park. Rob, the owner, was friendly and communicative throughout the process and when we were there. We only wish that we could have stayed longer.

Great stay!
The house was perfect … fully equipped with everything we needed. Very comfortable, great neighborhood. Short walk to a great beach. Rob was an amazing host! He checked in on us a few days into our stay to make sure we were all set. Communication from beginning to end was wonderful. Rob emailed and left a copy of recommendations for activities, meals, etc. We were thrilled with the restaurants we tried based on that. Overall a wonderful week. Would definitely come back!

Sweet summer getaway!
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this super clean beach house! Excellent location! We loved the beach and kayaking so close by. Each day we went on a different adventure- A private sail in Mystic, shopping in Essex, enjoyed the best restaurants in Old Saybrook, and the waves at the Rhode Island beaches! Rob was an excellent host!

Great Location and Amenities
We were looking for a location close to where I vacationed as a child and this cottage was perfect - close to the beach and the host provided kayaks for us to use. The property was well maintained and the home was clean and comfy. They provided everything you would need as if it were your own home. They provided thick and soft bath towels, shampoo and conditioners etc. This was a wonderful VRBO experience - highly recommended James and Michele

Clean, comfortable and packed with fun
My family had the best time staying at this property. The beach house was beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed from towels to beach toys to dishes - you name it. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We took out the kayaks and had an amazing time kayaking the sound, playing cornhole, had a fire in the backyard, went to the beach -basically did all the summer essentials this property has to offer. The beds were super comfortable. There is so much to do nearby. The host was fantastic. We literally felt like we were right at home- so comfortable. 10/10 for us! We are already talking about booking again!

Beach House Home away from Home
It was such a relief to walk into this clean, cozy home after traveling for a few days. We enjoyed playing yard games, breakfast on the deck, the fire pit in the evening, biking around the block, and walks or drives down to the beach. The streets are narrow but it’s a beach community and everyone drives slowly and expects walkers and bikers. Very friendly and safe area. The kitchen was well stocked and it was so nice to have sharp knives, good utensils, and plenty of bowls and platters for serving food. The kids are already asking to go back to this house on our next visit to CT. Downtown Niantic is lovely and we enjoyed stopping there for pizza, bagels, pastries, icecream, and fried seafood throughout our trip.
