Hawks Nest Beach is a family friendly beach community. Grab a bike from the garage, pick out a backpack beach chair and you are on the beach in 5 minutes. During the summer season, take the kids for a bike ride over to Sound View, ride the carousel (hope you get the brass ring), treat yourself to some ice cream or Vecchitto's Italian Ice. If you are not into the little kid stuff, Kokomo's or the Pavilion can provide a fun night!

Plenty of things to do within a short drive, Mystic Aquarium or Seaport, Mohegan Sun Casino, Goodspeed Opera House, Essex Steam Train, Westbrook and Clinton Outlet Malls, Golf courses, Kayaking, Fishing...

Good Place
As other guests have noted, this a very comfortable, exceptionally clean property in a pleasant neighborhood, within walking distance to the beach. There is a big, pretty, well-furnished yard. The primary bath is petite, but has a shower big enough to work fine with a shower chair, unlike some much larger bathrooms we have encountered. The location is great, near to two very nice state parks and many other attractions. Rocky Neck has the prettiest sand, and a very nice boardwalk. We didn’t try out the grill, but the kitchen is well-equipped, with plenty of counter space. Lots of good restaurants are nearby.

Summer rental
Very large kitchen & living rooms. 2 bathrooms & wonderful fenced in yard - so peaceful. This place has the convenience of many, many pans & utensils if you’re inclined to cook. Also baked a birthday cake for my grandson using the perfect size cake pan. Providing towels & linens is a bonus. We spent time all week completing a difficult puzzle we found in the “game closet”. Thank you Amenta family.

Extended stay during transition
This home was better than I ever could've expected! You don't get the full view or feel through the photos. I got to stay a couple of months and I can honestly say that out of all the vacation rentals I have booked, this one was far superior. The house was fully stocked with everything you could ever want or need. Quite honestly, Ive never seen anything like it. Very spacious, very comfortable and very quiet. The home was also spotless upon my arrival. Great area, great neighborhood. Kudos to Meg and Jay on a fantastic job. Great hosts! 10's across the board!! The only negative was that I had to leave!

Excellent beach home!
We recently stayed at this home for the second year in a row. Again this year, we were pleasantly greeted with a welcome basket full of goodies to enjoy during our stay and a personalized note! We love to open the doors to the brightly colored walls and beach décor. This home truly has everything that a traveler would need on a beach vacation. The house is kept very clean, neat and organized. The many air conditioning units make it easy to stay comfortable on hot days and nights. Every kitchen utensil and appliance necessary could be easily located and were all cooking ready. The towels and linens were fresh and ready for use upon arrival. We all love the entertainment closet, full of puzzles, games and barbies! The house offers at least 15 bikes of all sizes and skill levels so each family member could ride to the beach! Our children loved the gaming system and the many television streaming services. Outside the home, the fenced in back yard is excellent for small children and we made use of all of the outdoor games, sidewalk chalk, ladder ball, etc.! We loved the outdoor shower and nearby clothes line. The hose also came in handy for rinsing off our sea salty items. We enjoyed the fire pit and made use of the outdoor grill and seating on the patio area nightly. We were so fortunate to make Meg and Jason’s house our home away from home for another year of memories at Hawk’s Nest Beach!

We had a wonderful week at Hawks Nest Beach. This lovely home provided everything anyone could need and more including an array of bicycles to ride around the neighborhood and get us quickly to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked. The owners were pleasant and very responsive. The welcome basket was an unexpected and appreciated surprise; enjoyed by all.

Perfect Beach House
We had a wonderful stay at Meg and Jason's home away from home! We felt welcome from the moment we walked in. Key pad entry was great as we didn't need to keep track and/or worry about losing a key. The house easily accommodated four adult and three children, with plenty of room to spare. Everything was clean and fresh, from the brightly colored walls to the linens and upholstery. The house's location allowed us to take a short walk to the beach, but there was a variety of bikes in every size and skill level, including a few with training wheels as an option. The fenced yard was ideal for small children and had ample seating and umbrellas for quests. We enjoyed the fire pit as well as the variety of sporting equipment available in the garage. The outdoor shower, in close proximity to the clothes line, was perfect for cleaning up after a day at the beach. We chose a dinner location from the suggested restaurants and really enjoyed it. We also enjoyed a few tasty treats from their vegetable garden. The toys, games, puzzles, barbie dolls and video games were a big hit with the kids, and having multiple TVs with a variety of streaming programs provided something for everyone. The kitchen had every appliance, utensil and dish you could possibly need , nothing was missing! Having cleaning supplies / equipment readily available was very helpful too. Meg and Jason really thought of everything when it comes to a beach rental. We felt comfortable , safe and welcome the entire week, and we hope to stay again.

This is a very nice home. There are two living rooms, with tv’s in both. Traveling with children this was very convenient. The house was very clean with everything you need (dishes, pans etc). It is a bit of a walk to the beach so we ended up driving people to the beach with chairs etc. and having one person drive back and take a bicycle back. The property owner was in contact with us and answers all of our questions promptly. She is very pleasant. Including having us help ourselves to the little garden.

Amazing house for a beach trip
Everything from the beginning to end of stay was great: the communication prior to the trip was fast and easy, my questions answered. We were able to check in a little earlier due to our schedule. The beach is walking distance, but it’s even faster with provided bikes (many choices!). Chairs , towels and passes are all provided. The backyard/patio area is equipped with anything you might need from morning and evening. There is a bottle shop and convenience store very close and niantic and old Lyme is a short distance away. We’ll be back next year!!
