Perfect Hideaway

Property is clean and easy to get to. Host is very quick to communicate. Easy In/Easy out. The bedroom is spacious. 2 bathrooms, one with shower, one with bath are clean and well stocked. The kitchen does NOT have a sink which may be inconvenient to some. There is a full size fridge / freezer with microwave and a regular coffee maker (regular coffee supplied) - be sure to bring your own milk, sugar and decaf. There is also a hot water maker so bring your own tea bags! There is a nice patio but no outside chairs so bring your own. TV is a bit small in the living room, and it only gets Netflix so no news, traffic or weather. 1/2 mile walk to beach with no parking so plan accordingly. Drop everyone off with stuff and then someone has to drive the car back and walk! Better yet - go to Rocky Neck State Park and use the beach there.

Nice and cozy stay

The host was exceptionally responsive to anything that we needed. We really appreciated his effort and help. The space was very clean. Parking was alongside the building making it easy to get in and out. The keyless entry system was convenient. There was more than ample space for 2 people. The appliances all worked well. There was no stove or oven, but the toaster oven, microwave and full-sized refrigerator were sufficient for our needs. We arrived after dark, so we had to look closely for the address. The walk to the beach was about half a mile each way.

Disappointing stay

Property described as having kitchenette. Not accurate per all our experiences with VRBO. No sink, stove or oven. No pots, pans, bowls or cooking utensils. We brought burgers to cook and bacon and eggs. No knives to cut a bagel. Nothing to cook on. I asked host for electric fry pan and he quickly brought plastic bowls, a knife and an “egg Mac muffin” maker. Host asks you to wash dishes but there is no soap, or dish cloth or dish towel and only place to wash is in bathroom. Property uses beach photo as its main picture, but you cannot walk to any beach and there is no parking for the public beach access. They advertised a washer and dryer but there was a container on the appliances charges $2.50 for use of each. Bed very comfortable but living room futon was only furniture for tv and it’s not comfortable. This property might be fine if you planned to be gone all day and eat all meals out.

Perfect little retreat

This unit is just darling, it is very adequate for three people to enjoy a mini vacation in Niantic. The beach is very clean and welcoming a short walk although probably driving would be a better choice. If you are not in a fit condition, the unit is spotless and welcoming, the futon is perfect for sleeping as well as the bedroom. There are two bathrooms, which gives everyone plenty of space to get ready in the morning or for a special occasion the host is very accessible and understanding. I would highly recommend anyone staying at this darling, a little secret next to the beach in East Lyme Connecticut. Thank you too for a bow in the host for making our stay. A wonderful experience.

Convenient, clean, nice, but not without faults

Overall was a good stay. The host was helpful and the property was easy to find. It had basically everything that we needed for the night but that wasn’t a lot. I had thought it would have an ocean view because the listing had pictures on the water but it was just in a neighborhood. I never tried to walk to the water because the town beaches were so expensive that we had to drive anyway. One thing to beware of is that the place is NOT handicap accessible AT ALL. Even though it is all on one story, there are many ledges and weird steps to get over and even the bathroom has a step up to the toilet and the tub is very high off the ground. My partner and I knocked our arms and our heads multiple times on the chair rail that sticks out at least an inch. If you have mobility struggles, I do not recommend this listing. If that is not a problem for you, it was very lovely

Quaint place

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 kids who are under 2 years of age. We had everything we needed and it was easy enough to childproof. The bedroom was a good size with its own bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the futon in the living room was pretty comfortable, for a futon. The kitchen is small but fully functional. No stove or oven but we didn’t need them. The private beach was great, although we would not walk there with 2 little kids because the walk was up/down some pretty large hills and it was 90+ degrees. We were able to use the loading area with the pass to get dropped off and that worked great. The location is perfect, it was close to the Mystic Aquarium, Ocean Beach Park (has a splash pad for kids), restaurants, Niantic Children’s Museum, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods, and many other places. Highly recommend this place if you need a clean place to stay in a quiet neighborhood with a small family!

Relaxing

I think the owner should take newer pictures of the place it seems some stuff has been updated along with saying there is 2 showers in the house and a big giant refrigerator the wifi is decent comes with netflix and youtube which is all ya really need. I would love too see a 2nd TV in the main room but we brought our laptop so overall everything was awesome.

Close to Boston

Great apartment near the Boston area! We only stayed 2 nights so we ended up using Uber to get around, but there appeared to be a bus station nearby. The place itself was very nice with a private entrance. The main door was loud/sticking when opening and closing it, but we informed the owner and they said they’d take care of it. Would stay there again!

Nice house in cute neighborhood

The house was a nice walkable neighborhood close to the beach and State park. Inside was clean and well kept, with coffee maker and toaster. One downside was the kitchen, which did not have a sink, stove or oven. It would have been nice to have a couple patio chairs out on the patio too, so we could sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. All inall a nice place :)

Enjoyable getaway

We enjoyed ourselves to a peaceful and friendly family neighborhood, not far from the beach area. Everything we needed at the rental property was available. If we wanted anything, it was a short distance to drive to purchase whatever we needed/wanted. Overall it was a great and comfortable rental property for us!

Strategic location

The property was located close to the interstate making it very easy to get trips underway. It was also located near Rocky Neck State Park, a very beautiful seashore spot with a nice beach and scenic salt marshes. WiFi needs to be improved. House was very nice place to stay.

Clean, close to beach

We were wary of taking a holiday during such an uncertain time, but we sure needed a break from self-quarantine life. This home was clean and the neighborhood mostly quiet. The beach was walkable distance (although better to get dropped off at the turnabout if you have a lot of items and can reserve the permit). We really enjoyed the extensive flat of shore and ability to social distance while mostly in one spot. The owner was helpful and responsive. We highly recommend this stay.

Fantastic owners and a wonderful stay

We stayed in this lovely Niantic property during the hurricane--when the town lost power for two days--and the owners couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. We decided to stick it out and were rewarded with beautiful days. The owners are lovely people and we would highly recommend!
