Our guests will have access to the entire Bay Cottage. Ashley and Francois are one short message away, if you have any questions or need specific recommendations of the area.
The neighborhood is quiet and residential, ideal and safe for strolls to Giants Neck Beach. During the peak of Summer, beach parking is reserved for the residents of the Giants Neck Beach community. We have a little cart that can help you bring stuff down to the beach.
The driveway can hold 2 cars comfortably. Guests are also allowed to park their vehicles on the front of the property if they have an additional vehicle.

As this is a self-check-in process, Francois and Ashley will not be meeting you on the property. We will be reachable throughout your stay to answer any questions you may have.

Niantic is a true hidden of the New England coastline and has something to offer for everyone. Go on a shopping spree in Niantic with a multitude of antique and clothing stores or get lost in books from any of Book Barn's store locations. Lots of delicious eateries and restaurants for the foodies. From nature trails, renowned Rocky Neck State Park and beaches, boat launches, all located a short distance away from the Bay Cottage, nature lovers will have a blast discovering the area.

Located in close to Exit 72 of the i-95 Interstate, you'll be able to access the property super easily. Being located in a quiet residential neighborhood, a vehicle is recommended to get to most local attractions and Niantic. You may enjoy quiet strolls through the neighborhood and walk to the private community beach.

As parking is fairly limited on the property, we recommend visiting with up to 3 vehicles maximum.
The Giants Neck Beach is accessible to our guests and is located about 20 mins walk (or 3 mins drive) from the Bay Cottage. You can only access it via foot, as we don't provide any parking passes.

Perfect for a mini family getaway
I booked this for a sister weekend. It was perfect for what we needed. It appears that the house was built to be a summer getaway, so it is pretty basic and no frills and comes with all the creaks and quicks of an older house. The living room is perfect for hanging out and the four chairs make it easy to rearrange to suit your needs. The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything you would need to stay with a family and the dining room is spacious enough to easily accommodate everyone staying there. One point to consider if you are sensitive to scents is that there are quite a few plug in air fresheners in the house. My sisters and I are not and we still found them quite overwhelming. We ended up unplugging them and the house smelled fine, but note we stayed during the winter when musty smells are likely to be minimized.

Work week
We stayed at this house while in the area working for the week. The beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood very quiet and safe. We found everything clean and functioning. Though this home is slightly older, everything is clean and tidy. Everything was in good working order. This would be a great place for a family to stay and vacation.

Enjoyable Three Days
The house was lovely, clean and nicely decorated. I was also very happy with all the essentials that were in the kitchen. The house looked small, but there was plenty of room inside. We wanted to let you know that the toilet near the two bedrooms rocked and water was running intermittently, plus the toilet paper holder was broken off the wall. Also, the medicine cabinet in the master bedroom looks like it's coming off the wall.

Beach Getaway
The property was perfect for what I was looking for. A place for me and my family to reunite along the beach. The walk was only about 10 minutes which was nice but the little incline on the walk back really gets your heart pumping! Ashley was very courteous and quick to respond to my messages. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others.
