Visiting family for Graduation

This place was a great home base for all of our activities for the long weekend. Very clean and in a quiet neighborhood. We had a very long and stressful trip there and were very happy to find a bottle of wine waiting for us. Very nice surprise. The hosts were wonderful to work with. Very responsive. Would stay again if in the area. Highly recommend.

Our vacation in Niantic was wonderful because of this house and its owners, Jason and Colleen. I can't think of a single thing we needed that wasn't already provided.The kitchen is up-to-date and fully stocked and the back patio was perfect for relaxing and grilling. I miss sitting there in the morning and watching all the birds.The location is excellent too - you are a quick ride away from great restaurants, beaches, and adorable little villages. I wouldn't hesitate to book this pretty house again.
