It was mostly rainy so we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful outdoor space but there were enough activities to entertain all of us from preteens thru seniors. The home was comfoetable, well stocked and thoughtfully appointed. We all would enjoy returning!

:(
Too many things wrong about this house to list. From the bee infestation on the deck, to the musty smell throughout the house and moldy window air conditioners. Kids got lots of mosquito bites at night due to temp windows being open from tape being old and not sticking anymore. Non working fridge and owners brought a mini fridge but too small because we brought a lot of food with us and had to even throw food out. Owners pretty much responded quickly but things weren’t resolved during our stay. Was also blamed for a hole in the wall that we didn’t do.

Game Room House
The property was well kept. Enough room for all. House so well stocked with household items. Game room was awesome for all. The kids & adults really enjoyed the competitive competition. Driveway a bit tricky but house at very end of street had wonderful privacy.

perfect location to Niantic and Coast Guard Academy
Host was responsive to request about Air Conditioning and a coffee pot that decided to stop functioning (they understood my need for coffee!) Awesome set up with games, yard and a deep freeze?! We stayed for my daughter’s graduation from the Coast Guard Academy and wedding 2 days later! we could walk to Niantic if not on a tight schedule and the drive to academy was perfect about 12 minutes. My college age boys enjoyed the game basement. Fantastic site!

Comfortable and fun
This house was perfect for our short family getaway, comfortable, clean, specious and fun! The kids loved the arcade room and we all spend time together playing many of the board games. The beds were comfortable, there was lots of space to relax, both inside and in the yard. Kitchen had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short drive to stores and restaurants. Thank you!

Great Homecoming Weekend
The house was exactly everything we wanted and needed for Homecoming weekend at USCGA. The location of the house was convenient for everything we needed and my husband and son had a great time hanging out and playing old-school video games on our first night there. The amenities of the house were great and there was more than enough room for friends and family to hang out.

Had a family trip planned to look at wedding dresses and venues near Mystic. This house was in the perfect location away from the traffic but close enough to enjoy the area. The house has some quirky things but overall it was a good spot. Enjoyed the yard, firepit and deck.

Perfect for a family gathering
8 of us in our family stayed here for 3 nights over Memorial Day weekend. The house is the last house on a dead end street with a large yard. It’s a pretty spot and very quiet. The house was very comfortable and had plenty of room for all. The kids had a good time in the game room .

Wonderful Getaway
What a wonderful weekend getaway! My two boys 4 & 7 loved the basement which was basically like an arcade, with video games, board games and everything you can imagine. The home is well cared for and nicely decorated. The home is located very close to everything while still being on a nice quiet street. The owners do a really great job. We can't wait to come back!
