Will be our new tradition!

The house was more than I expected! It was larger than it seemed in the pictures. Rob was great, very responsive and friendly. There was so much stuff in the shed for the beach! We had friends visit a couple of the days and we had more than enough chairs and wagons. We hope to make this our new yearly vacation.

Return trip

This was our second time staying here. We stayed last year and had just as good a time as before. The house is so comfortable and clean. Has everything one could need so didn’t have to pack as much. Enjoyed the kayaks and having a fire. Another great perk about this house is its central location to SO MUCH! The neighborhood is so quiet and nice. The host has great communication and makes everything easy! Can’t wait to come back again!

A Lovely Getaway Spot

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.

Great stay!

The house was perfect … fully equipped with everything we needed. Very comfortable, great neighborhood. Short walk to a great beach. Rob was an amazing host! He checked in on us a few days into our stay to make sure we were all set. Communication from beginning to end was wonderful. Rob emailed and left a copy of recommendations for activities, meals, etc. We were thrilled with the restaurants we tried based on that. Overall a wonderful week. Would definitely come back!

Sweet summer getaway!

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!

Great Location and Amenities

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 James and Michele

Clean, comfortable and packed with fun

My family had the best time staying at this property. The beach house was beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed from towels to beach toys to dishes - you name it. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We took out the kayaks and had an amazing time kayaking the sound, playing cornhole, had a fire in the backyard, went to the beach -basically did all the summer essentials this property has to offer. The beds were super comfortable. There is so much to do nearby. The host was fantastic. We literally felt like we were right at home- so comfortable. 10/10 for us! We are already talking about booking again!

Beach House Home away from Home

It was such a relief to walk into this clean, cozy home after traveling for a few days. We enjoyed playing yard games, breakfast on the deck, the fire pit in the evening, biking around the block, and walks or drives down to the beach. The streets are narrow but it’s a beach community and everyone drives slowly and expects walkers and bikers. Very friendly and safe area. The kitchen was well stocked and it was so nice to have sharp knives, good utensils, and plenty of bowls and platters for serving food. The kids are already asking to go back to this house on our next visit to CT. Downtown Niantic is lovely and we enjoyed stopping there for pizza, bagels, pastries, icecream, and fried seafood throughout our trip.

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. I have written an insider's guide to Niantic and surrounding area based on my own experiences over the last 20 years and those of our guests. I send out this packet of information as soon as you reserve to help you plan your stay.
