Welcome to our traditional-style, Cape Cod Home.
We have Wireless internet.
There are four nice-size bedrooms. The two upstairs bedrooms have a queen-size and two twin beds. The two bedrooms on the main floor have a queen and a full. The upstairs bathroom has a shower and the main level bathroom has a bathtub to relax in. This home is set up ideally for two couples or two small families. The kitchen is fully-equipped and the only things you'll need are your food and paper products. (Don't forget your beach towels too!). We also have a few Beach chairs you can take with you to the beach. The family room is spacious and gets plenty of sun.
The neighborhood is quiet and a great place to take walks or go for bike rides. Speaking of walks, it is a leisurely three minute walk to Crescent Beach. Crescent is a private beach so you don't have to fight any crowds there. The next beach over (another one minute or so walk) is McCooks Beach. This is a town beach and gets more crowded than Crescent but there are also more activities there.
At McCooks there are playgrounds, a park, outside showers, restrooms, and trails to walk up to the bluff overlooking Niantic Bay. There are also ice cream and snack trucks making the rounds. At Crescent Beach there is a quaint snack bar with a great view overlooking the beach itself. It is also within walking distance to downtown Niantic.
This is a Great Place to bring the family and enjoy a multitude of activities while experiencing the finest that Connecticut has to offer. We hope you'll try us out, I'm sure you will be pleased you did!

We stayed the week of July 23rd and really enjoyed the area and house. The house was very clean, well equipped and close to the beach. The house was large enough for my family as well as my sisters. The upstairs was very hot but all the fans really helped. The kids loved running around outside and playing with the toys. When we left we had to pry the toy Woody from Toy Story from my 2 year old daughter because she loved it so much. The street was nice and quiet, felt very safe there. We would reccommend this house to anyone who wanted alot of space and relaxation.

This was perfect for two small families to enjoy the week. Walking to beach so close and easy. House was great, everything we needed. The Dittner's were there to welcome us and show us around. The house was very clean and organized. The only thing that keeps it from an excellent is no AC and the upstairs got really hot! They have fans there which helped.
Owner response:Amy, Glad you had a good time with family and your couple friends. I wanted to comment on the hot upstairs.I am so sorry! Suat and I ran through the house so quickly showing him where everything was that I must have forgotten to show him the Whole House Fan in the ceiling upstairs. We have been told by many that they were amazed at how it cooled the house down especially at night and with all the extra fans that it wasn't too bad. I hope this helps and maybe we will see you next year. Blessings... Michele

We stayed at this property for the 4th of July week and had a wonderful time. The house is very spacious and comfortable and has all the amenities you will need. The backyard was great for the kids to play in and the walk to the private beach and public beach/park were just a quick walk. The neighborhood is great, everyone was very friendly and downtown shopping/restaurants is a quick 5 minutes drive. Would highly recommend this property, we plan to stay there again.

If you want a comfortable house to relax in after a day at the beach, this is it. The house is clean and nicely decorated. If you like to do your own cooking while on vacation, like I do, you will be pleasantly surprised to find just about every utensil and size of bowl, pot or pan that you can imagine. We walked to the beach every day, enjoying lovely flowers on the way. It's a nice, private, clean beach with plenty of space. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walks, so we walked every evening. All the people in the neighborhood were very friendly and made you feel right at home. There is plenty to do in this area, but we just wanted to relax by going to the beach, cooking at home, watching movies, playing games, and taking walks. This was perfect for all of the above because the house is just a great place to hang out, inside and out. There is a two-person, canopied lawn swing in the back yard, lawn chairs and a picnic table to enjoy. Everything was clean and well-maintained. We really hated to end this vacation! Thank you, Eric and Michele.

My husband, twin sons and nanny recently stayed here and had a terrific experience. The house was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. It is a great location - quiet neighborhood, walking distance to beach where there is a great little restaurant. The backyard had a nice picnic table for outdoor dining when it got hot. Michele was very attentive to all our questions and we would definitely stay there again when we visit our family in Niantic. Thanks, Michele!
Owner response:Angela, We are glad you had a great time visiting the area. Thank you for the kind words. We hope to see you next year. Michele

The house is very comfortable, and is a nice place for children. We especially appreciated the toys that were kept upstairs. An easy distance to Crescent Beach as well. We enjoyed our weekend and went to our favorite spots in and around Niantic: the Book Barn, and New London Antiques. The Ditners made the process of checking in and out very simple, and the house is well stocked with kitchen things and towels.
Owner response:Chay, Thanks so much for the review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay hope to see you next year. Michele

The neighborhood was so quaint that I nicknamed the village of Niantic: Niantucket!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It was very comfortable, airy, and roomy, with lots of windows, in the main room, which had a lovely view of a flowery tree in bloom, and chirping birds. There was a nice seabreeze, since it's one block from the water. It was convenient to have two bathrooms, washer/dryer, and three tv's. The area was quiet, and felt safe to go out walking. We really appreciated the bakery and natural food store in town,and the delicious fresh corn and tomatoes from the nearby farmstand. We loved all the big, beautiful lavender plants in everyone's gardens, that I went to the nursery, and bought two plants for myself to bring home. We relaxed at Crescent Beach, and ate at the waterfront snack bar. This house is a twenty-minute drive to Mystic, where we had fun shopping at Mystic Village, and a twenty-minute drive to the Westbrook Tanger Outlet shops, where we also had fun shopping. Overall, we had an excellent time on our vacation, and in this very clean house. The owners were very pleasant, and I would recommend this house for to others.

I go to the Coast Guard Academy and recently stayed here with a few friends after a formal. It was a great location, right near the beach which was perfect. The house was the perfect size for our group, and we were able to sit around and grill and it was a really good time. I'd recommend it.
Owner response:Thanks for the nice review Jim. Michele and I are glad you had an enjoyable stay. We would also like to say that we are very proud of you guys and appreciate your service to our country through such a great organization, the U.S. Coast Guard.

We recently had a death in the family in which we needed a place to stay for eight of us from mid week to midweek. Not only were the Dittner's fantastic in providing us with comfortable accommodations for the odd time of our needs, but also allowed our local family to go into the home prior to our arrival so that they could stock the kitchen with food. We would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for good, clean accommodations and would lease this house ourselves again.

We rented this cottage for 2 weeks in July 2009. The location and place was just what we needed. The house in clean and spacious. We entertained friends and family without feeling crowded. Would definitely consider renting from the Ditter's again. Thanks for one of the most relaxing vacations in quite a few years.
