Nestled just off Niantic River Road, this delightful home is steps from the scenic Niantic River, a predominantly tidal river in eastern Connecticut. The 5.2-mile river is crossed by the Niantic River Bridge, which carries Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and connects the towns of East Lyme/Niantic and Waterford. With fantastic fishing and kayaking opportunities, the river's mouth opens to the Long Island Sound, where you'll find tranquil waves and saltwater beaches within 1-2 miles.

Take a leisurely stroll or bike ride to explore nearby eateries, such as the renowned seafood restaurant, The Dock, Fat Tuna. Cross the bridge into Niantic to discover an array of charming antique, consignment and upscale retail shops. Don't miss the exquisite chocolate croissants at Sift, a French bakery, while enjoying views of the Long Island Sound.

Mohegan Sun and Foxwood casinos within 20-30 minutes. Mystic aquarium and Seaport nearby similar distance. Beluga whales to make your day.

This house was extremely comfortable and cozy. Every detail and comfort had been thought of. The upstairs attic bedroom was precious and the basement was made for relaxing. The neighborhood and proximity to the river were also excellent. Thank you for a great stay!

Great location

Nicely decorated house. Close to Mystic, Mohegan Sun and multiple beaches and state parks. My son loved the house as well. Very accommodating and had a lot of things that were helpful (beach chairs, bikes, blankets, shades/curtains, suggestions on where to eat). Overall a great place to stay!

This is a lovely house only steps from the water. It could easily absorb a larger family or teens who need space based on the layout. Great communication with the owners.

Perfect Graduation get away for family

Had my elderly parents and family in town for graduation. Perfect house with bedrooms on one level…but room for kids in game room (basement) and cute attic bunkhouse. Close to beach and the process was super easy.

Great Family Vacation

Spent two weeks celebrating Thanksgiving with family. Our son is a member of the Coast Guard Band. The house was great for preparing the holiday feast. The neighborhood is peaceful and the water is half a block away.

Betsy was a great host - she arranged an early check in so we could avoid rush hour traffic with a 1.5 year old in the backseat at no cost. The house was exactly as advertised - perfect size for a family with pet and equipped with books, toys, and low-rise beds for our young one. It was a great homebase for our long weekend, providing easy access to Niantic downtown and short drives to Essex, Old Lyme, Chester, and Mystic.

Gary's Review.

The property was everything as advertised. Easy to get to and convenient to Niantic and the surrounding area. We had a very enjoyable stay. The house could not have been better. This house is a gem with anyone with a family.

We were in the area for sports tournaments with our family of boys and absolutely loved everything about our stay! The home was beautiful decorated and immaculately clean, with a spacious kitchen, comfortable beds, and a bright, cheerful vibe. We enjoyed the area and found lots to do in our downtime from games. We would highly recommend, and definitely return!

I grew up in Connecticut. I am a Neurology PA and love to design rooms, and enjoy hosting.

Why they chose this property

Love the Niantic river area.
The Great Wolf water park with indoor 84 degrees is open.

What makes this property unique

We live here when taking care of aging parents. So we see what needs pop up in the home and constantly renovate, recreate and add to. This is a home. We love it and love sharing it. From the charming hidey hole upstairs to kayaks to local restaurants and haunts. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
