  • Our family stayed at the cottage for 3 1/2 months while my husband attended Sub School in Groton and we loved it! We have 3 small children and it was important to us to find a great location that would still feel like a home. This cottage felt like home as soon as we arrived. Charming is the perfect word to describe it! Niantic is lovely and the people there made the winter months seem warm to us! The kids loved sledding down the big hills at the park and roasting marshmellows in the cozy fireplace. When the weather warmed up, we enjoyed croquet games in the big back yard and exploring the rocky shores of the sound (nothing like the beaches at home in FL!) We hope to return sometime so we can experience a summer in the Niantic cottage too!

  • We spent a happy working vacation loafing on the front porch and the sofa, cooking in the well-equipped and very up-to-date kitchen, and using the excellent wireless Internet connection for the work we regrettably had to bring with us. The decor was light, clean, and uncluttered, and all the furniture was comfortable. We liked the quiet of the neighborhood, and spent our leisure time at Rocky Neck beach, the Niantic boardwalk, the Oswegatchie Nature Preserve hiking trails, several downtown restaurants, and Scotti's vegetable stand--and of course made frequent trips to visit Frank the Sumo Tabby at the Downtown Book Barn. Niantic is our ideal vacation spot, and this rental was our best so far.

  • Our month's stay was most enjoyable. Just a short walk to East Shore drive gets you to a kid-friendly beach and a short walk back to the cottage ensures a quiet and peaceful night. Great layout, clean and well stocked!

  • My husband, kids and I stayed at the Niantic Cottage for almost a month while my husband was called to CT for business. It was such a pleasure to rent a house, especially with small children. The yard was perfect for outdoor playtimes. The kitchen was perfect and completely equipped with everything we needed to have an "at home" meal. The location was ideal for business or pleasure. The cottage is tucked away in a quiet beach neighborhood with easy access to everything. My kids and I enjoyed walks to the beach, playing at the local playgrounds and parks, mornings spent at the local Children's Museum, afternoons touring Mystic Aquarium, the local libraries, the Book Barn bookstores, the ocean front boardwalk, the malls and outlets, several local restaraunts, and even the casino which has a nice game room for kids. There is no way we could have enjoyed our visit to CT quite as much out of a hotel room. We have already recommended this rental to several friends and hope to visit again next year!

  • Dear Michele Our two weeks stay at the cottage was a pleasure. The house is well equipped and charmingly decorated and its location is absolutely quiet, just what we were looking for. When we arrived your mother brought us a fresh seafood salad, that was so nice of her and after the long journey a great treat. There were so many things to do and see and we had a lot of fun. We can recommend the ride with the Essex steam train and river boat, a trip to Boston (it is best to park the car at Quincy Adams MT station, which is just off the highway), the beach at Rocky Neck State Park (only 10 min. by car)is lovely as well as that of Old Blackpoint. Mystic is surely worth the short trip and Mohegan Sun Casino has live music for free four times a week. Niantic!s Colonial Market has everything you need, the fish is fresh and delicious. The Stop and Shop store is huge and offers just everything. There are several small theaters (e.g. the Goodspeed Opera House, which plays mostly musicals is not far from Essex)and we enjoyed a show at the Westport Country Playhouse, which is about 1 hour to drive (I-95 South). The adjacent restaurant (Dressing Room) was amazing, all organic food traditionally prepared by a top chef. With all of our activities we found enough time to relax on your lovely porch or in the garden. We really appreciated the bicycles in the shed and all the other things we found there for the beach. As you told me, we just needed our clothes to bring along, everything else is there at the cottage. And, of course, not to forget the internet access, which was of great importance for us. So everything was fine and we can highly recommend Blackpoint cottage to all people who want to get a good rest as well as enjoy the beach and water activities, hiking, culture, entertainment and undisturbed sleep. Thank you for all your support and advice that you gave prior to our stay. We might just come back. Margret and Walter Ecker

  • This was a wonderful summer rental. The house layout is open and spacious and so is the yard. I can't remember when we had a rented a cottage with everything you can need in the kitchen. It was home away from home. Clean wonderful! The area and beaches were fun for both toddler and teenager and we grown ups enjoyed ourselves also. Great place - we definately will return. :)

  • The cottage was a joy to stay in. The updates that have been done made being in the house a pleasure; the kitchen is new, clean, and stylish, and very well equipped. The porches are so wonderful both during the heat of the day and at night. The neighborhood is perfect for children of all different ages. This house has such a huge, flat yard, kids can play all sorts of games right outside the kitchen window. Older children can walk or bike around the neighborhood and down to the beach at the end of the road. The town of Niantic is very nearby and has all you need, or you can venture less than a half-hour and be in so many other great destinations. I can't imagine a better place to spend time with your family or even as a couple, as the house itself is so lovely.

  • Gordon and Michelle, Such a relaxing and comfortable beach house! It has everything we needed to escape and take a break from the daily stresses of work, no shuttling kids around all day, don't have to deal with any house project to-do lists...etc. We're able to actually get some long overdue reading in on a very comfortable, quiet, front screened-in porch...what a concept! Large enough lot for a good bocci match and BBQ as well. Great neighborhood. We daily take beautiful walks on either side of the Black Point penninsula. You forgot to add that you can take a really great walk on the new Niantic Boardwalk via a 5 minute drive into town. If you want to get away, this is the place to do it! Thanks much, Ken and Jill
