About this property

Bright & Cheerful Coastal Cottage for Multi-week & Monthly Stays

Available for multi-week & monthly stays from November through April, this charming, light-filled and pet-friendly cottage is steps away from the Niantic River estuary and has gorgeous sunset views.

Set up for remote work as well as pleasure during the "off" season. There is a cozy electric fireplace and a lovely, south facing sunroom, with windows on three sides that offers relaxing sunshine even on the coldest day.

A fully-equipped and renovated kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and oven is made for cooking and eating. For grill-lovers there is a gas grill next to the deck at the back of the garage, with a prep/serving table, and screened gazebo for enjoying the yard mosquito-free. Or, take a five minute drive to one of the local restaurants in Niantic for fresh seafood, Indian cuisine, sushi, pizza, bakery, local/organic food, pub fare, and a brewery.

There are two cottage-sized bedrooms upstairs (Double and King) and a small flexible room with TV and twin trundle bed. Both the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms have showers (tub upstairs) and there is a washer and dryer in the kitchen.

If you feel like staying inside, relax on the chaise with a good book or sprawl on the comfy couch and stream your guilty pleasure on the flat screen TV. If you are looking for outdoor adventure there are nearby beaches and parks.

Included in your stay: Wi-Fi, linens, towels, soap, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer (upstairs cupboard) bug repellent, sunscreen, beach towels, beach bags, camp/beach chairs, household items, first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, and back up supplies (toothpaste/toothbrush, razors, shaving cream, deodorant, umbrella, etc.)

Not as crowded as Mystic and with many options for activities, the Cottage on Wood is a wonderful choice for your home-away-from-home work/vacation combo. Welcome!

Mid-life came calling and this wonderful property knocked at the back of my heart. Until we retire, it's a pleasure being able to share this special place with others looking for gentle fun, family, friends, love and laughter to make memories that will be treasured forever.

Why they chose this property

This charming, 1920s -1940s cottage and sleepy, hide-away neighborhood won my heart with its character and whimsy.
