About this property

2BED GUESTHOUSE WITH PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS

Private and cozy, newly renovated 1900's home with two bedrooms with a queen size bed in each and 1.5 baths. Step out your front door to swim, sunbathe or kayak on a beautiful stretch of the Niantic river with private dock and mooring. After a full day, enjoy a quiet dinner at the patio table or glass of wine on the front porch while watching the stars come out over the water. Fully renovated kitchen, large screen TV, Board games, puzzles + Adult/Kids books. There is a desk set up in one of the bedrooms if you need to work remotely while away. A Queen size pull out couch with mattress topper is in the living room. A pack n play and highchair are available if you are traveling with small children.

The house is located in a quiet family community, where a quick walk through the neighborhood takes you to a community swimming beach, tennis courts, a playground, and a 6 hole pitch and putt golf course. We also have 4 kayaks available for use on our beach. Three Belles Marina is a short walk away, where you can rent all kinds of watercraft if you have something else in mind. This is a year-round home, so warm and cozy when the weather turns cool and cool on those hot, summer days with newly installed air conditioning. Explore beautiful, coastal Connecticut using this as your home base! It is the perfect location for couples, a family, or solo business traveler.
(This rental home is located behind our families home, so we may wave to you as you head to the water, but will respect your privacy)

Lynn is a wonderful host. She greeted us when we arrived and had decorated the guest house very nicely for Christmas. The house was very clean and inviting and was well winterized. It was supplied with everything we needed for our stay including a large washer/dryer. The neighborhood was very quiet and the views of the river were beautiful.
