Best Vacation House Ever

There is not a thing this house is missing. You could sit on the front steps and see the water. Very large lot with great back yard. House has nice flow and views. You don't need to bring anything for the kids, bikes, etc. Basement is like a game wonderland. We will return often to this house.

Perfect getaway from NYC

I'm not sure where to begin. This was just what my family of four needed for the perfect family vacation. We weren't looking for attractions just quality fun and relaxing. With a three and one year old we weren't sure how a beach vacation would work out. The beach itself is nice and quiet. We simply plopped the two kids in the wagon from the garage and took the short walk to the end of the street for playing on the beach. Besides the very useful wagon, the garage was stocked with beach toys, chairs and bikes and bike helmets of all sizes. All of which came in handy. The cul-de-sac was the perfect place to ride bikes (I haven't ridden in 20 years) with our 3 year old for the first time. He had a blast and didn't want to go back home to our NYC two bedroom. Who can blame him. The back deck was great for grilling and the well stocked kitchen had all the dishes and utensils that we needed. When we go back, emphasis on "when" not "if", we'll likely bring another family with us. With just the four of us we didn't use the house to it's full potential. Another family of 3 or 4 would add friends for us and our kids to play with. Then maybe we'd have utilized the pool or ping pong tables in the basement. Overall this was a great vacation for our family and we really look forward to returning next summer.
Owner response:We are always bringing new things to the house. So glad you had a chance to enjoy the bicycles and toys.

Excellent accommodations and amenities, clean and well-maintained property for our three-generation family getaway! Lovely private lawns and gardens, view of marsh and fledging osprey from the back deck and ocean view from the front, short walk to quiet, clean sandy beach, perfect for relaxing, swimming, building sand castles and launching kayaks; meandering streets perfect for early morning and evening walks with the dog. Short drives to dining, shopping, golf, museums and diverse attractions appealing to all ages. Paula Ridge is responsive and very accommodating. We plan to return next summer!

This is the second time our family has stayed at this wonderful home. The owners have provided thoughtful items and conveniences for all ages and are gracious, considerate and totally efficient to deal with. Two families shared the space quite easily and we enjoyed many barbeques and beach visits with our extended family including four generations! The kitchen is so well equipped that we wanted for nothing when it came to indoor or outdoor entertaining. The home is very clean and attractively furnished and the yards and grounds are beuatifullty maintained. Our family totally enjoyed both stays and we look forward to visting inthe future.

Loved This Rental!

We couldn't have found a better vacation rental. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here recently (June 2011). Situated on a quiet Niantic street (a very short walk from the beach), this home provides everything that a vacationer could want--from a game room in the basement a garage stocked with toys, sports equipment, etc., to lovely, well-appointed bedrooms, den, and living room. It is an ideal home for kids as well. There is a large back yard, a lovely furnished deck on which you can enjoy meals as well as view the nesting ospreys nearby. Furthermore, the owner is accommodating and a delight to deal with. This is one of the nicest and hassle free rentals that we have every had. We highly recommend it.

The Best...Revisited!

Our family returned to this wonderful home for our Reunion 2011, and once again we had a fun filled, terrific time. The home opens its arms and welcomes all...this is due in great part to the home's owners, Paula and Dave, who are so accomodating,thoughtful and helpful. The rooms in the living area are large and comfortable, and our little girls found games and space to play inside the home. They loved all the vehicles in the garage and enjoyed pulling each other in the wagon and playing soccer.The beach was a bit hit for our little ones, as they were able to walk there and dig in the sand. The bedrooms provided privacy and comfort for each family. The spacious and well stocked kitchen is the heart of this home...whether one is enjoying a delicious meal or visiting with each other. As an added bonus, we were able to sit on the lovely deck or stand on the lawn and watch the osprey build their nest. We had a happy, wonderful reunion...thank you Paula and Dave for letting us visit!
Owner response:So glad your repeat visit was so much fun. We love how so many of our renters are returning year after year and wish we could meet all of you personally!!!

We stayed at this house last July (2009) and it was wonderful! The house was clean and spacious. Everything you can think of is included, it was very impressive and a short walk to the beach. Paula (the owner) was very nice and easy to reach. I was able to bring my dog (a Yorkshire Terrier) with me which was a huge relief as I do not leave him, where I go he follows. We would without a doubt recommend this property to friends and family. It was the most enjoyable, stress free week I have had in a very long time!

This lovely property is the perfect spot for a family gathering. We had family members ages three to seventy-five coming from different parts of the country for a special celebration and everyone loved this house. It is spacious, comfortable and meticulously maintained. It is located in a great spot with beautiful views and very pretty yard and gardens. The home comes equipped with so much - library, entertainment, basement game room, beach and sporting equipment and more! If only we could have stayed long enough to enjoy it all. The owners are very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. If our travels bring us back to the area we will definitely stay here again!
