The property was wonderful and so close to the beach, tennis, and kayak launch!! Rob was extremely responsive and helped to make our arrival and stay easy and stress free.
House was just what we were looking for with 3 clean bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen, quiet friendly neighborhood, beach supplies and more. Thanks for a great week!
Incredibly well-equipped kitchen (huge plus for me) and clean and comfortable rooms made our stay super enjoyable. We spent lots of time on the deck and enjoyed the breeze and the sounds of birds and nothing else. What a perfect place to vacation.
We enjoyed our long weekend away with our family of four and our fur baby. The place was spotless the manager was great with communication and the location was PERFECT. We will definitely be going back.
Beautiful property, better than I expected. Very clean upon arrival. Had plenty of kitchen and pantry essentials Plenty of room for the 6 of us, would actually sleep 8 people. Extra bonus we were able to bring our dog. Shed had bikes and helmets for kids to use, we brought their scooters which they were able to ride around the community. Beautiful private beach and definitely a short walk. We all enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back. Thanks to our great host Rob!
Wonderful Accomodations in Quaint Neighborhood With Beach
Thoughtfully appointed and acessorized. Nothing overlooked. Nice quiet beach was a short walk away. We had 4 adults and were very comfortable and would look to stay here again if the need arises.
Perfect place for us during USCGA graduation it was close to the academy and the events during the week. It was a bit too chilly to enjoy the beach/water, but great place to stay.
The home was cozy, bright and inviting. We had a great time walking to the beach and watching the sunrise with our toddler. House was great for a family with young children, Rob really thought of everything! Highly recommended.
By far one of the best properties we’ve rented. It was extremely clean, well stocked & a great location (close to beach and a nice neighborhood). The owners were available, kind & accommodating without overstepping on our privacy. Also found that the price was very reasonable compared to others in the area. Excellent property!

Thank you, Jan! Hope you are able to come back soon.
Four nights with my wife and pet. Clean, well provisioned and comfortable. Toni is planning to host her girlfriends here! The beach was beautiful, warm water and also clean.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this super clean beach house! Excellent location! We loved the beach and kayaking so close by. Each day we went on a different adventure- A private sail in Mystic, shopping in Essex, enjoyed the best restaurants in Old Saybrook, and the waves at the Rhode Island beaches!
Rob was an excellent host!
The house was recently renovated spacious, and tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed for a stress free stay. The location is A+. The private beach that's walking distance was amazing. Bob was an excellent host, answering any questions and going above and beyond (the beach umbrella was a godsend!!). I would highly recommend this place!

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay especially the beach with umbrella of course! Come back soon.
We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Niantic over Laboe Day weekend . The house was clean spacious and decorated in a nice beachy theme throughout . Many household amenities provided and plenty of items for the beach and kids to play with in the yard .Check-in was simple. Rob answered any questions quickly and thoroughly. He provided a fantastic guide book with suggestions for restaurants and activities Having the beach pass to park in the association lot was perfect. And the private beach was awesome Niantic is a lovely area. Walking along Main St and the boardwalk in the evening with the kids was such a nice way to wind down after a day at the beach (especially with an ice cream !)Overall a perfect stay …maybe the only suggestion would be to enclose the outside shower !!Will definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for a coastal getaway
This house was perfect for my husband, our young daughter, and our dog for a long weekend. There were plenty of kitchen supplies, linens, space, etc. for us. The neighborhood was peaceful and very walkable with easy access to the private beach and neighboring Rocky Neck State Park. Rob, the owner, was friendly and communicative throughout the process and when we were there. We only wish that we could have stayed longer.
We were looking for a location close to where I vacationed as a child and this cottage was perfect - close to the beach and the host provided kayaks for us to use.
The property was well maintained and the home was clean and comfy. They provided everything you would need as if it were your own home.
They provided thick and soft bath towels, shampoo and conditioners etc.
This was a wonderful VRBO experience - highly recommended

About the host
Hosted by Rob
Hi! I purchased this one of a kind property that had been allowed to rundown despite it's close proximity to the best beaches on the CT shoreline. It has been fully renovated to it's full potential again for your enjoyment!
Why they chose this property
Location, Location, Location. Located adjacent to Rocky Neck State Beach with the best sunset views to the west, Giants Neck Heights Beach Community is an undiscovered gem. In addition, as a member of the Giants Neck Heights Association, we have our own private beach with parking as well as our own park with tennis, playscape, bocce ball, horseshoes, etc! In my opinion, we have the best beaches on the Connecticut shoreline.
What makes this property unique
Central air conditioning! Guest Kayaks. Guest Bicycles. Private Beach. Private Park. Also - Fresh bed linen, towels, soap, cookware, dishes and eating utensils and shampoo are supplied free of charge.
In addition you will receive our "Cheat sheet" of places to go and things to do.
