We had a great trip. The water is very calm; it would have been great for kayaking or paddle boarding had we been able to bring them along. The beach is nice and sandy but the water barely gets over waist deep in the roped off section- wonderful if you have little ones. The house was nice, clean, plenty of rooms and beds (but only 2 bedrooms with AC which was thankfully enough for our needs). Towels and sheets were more than ample but we only could find a handful of washcloths which had us doing laundry every night. Mystic was not too far (the belugas at the aquarium were awesome); nearby Niantic was great (caught the local fireworks over the bay and we were quite impressed). I liked all the local ice cream shops we tried (but, to be honest, iâm pretty easy to please when it comes to ice cream). If you go, check out the Book Barn; they sell gently used books cheap ($1 for most paperbacks) - youâre sure to find something to read while hanging out on the beach without having to worry about itâs condition when you finish.
It is a nice family oriented house & neighborhood, with beach access.
A very nice area. However, one neighbor thought it was ok to run the lawnmower @7:30AM! On Saturday! This was our second year renting this house. The owner told me they will be doing some renovations this winter. That will make for an even more enjoyable vacation. Looking forward to next year!đ
RECEIVED AN EMAIL 8-8 FROM THE OWNER EXPLAINING THEY HAD TO HAVE THE HOUSE SPRAYED FOR "BEACH ANTS" AND THAT IT WOULD NEED A DAILY VAC, AND WAS I OK WITH THAT, I REPLIED NO PROBLEM. ONLY TO BE BITTEN BY FLEAS WHILE THERE, WE BOMBED AND SPRAYED ALL OF THE AREAS WITH RUGS, WITH SOME RELIEF, UPON RETURNING HOME I INFORMED THE OWNER WHO STATED, SHE "HAD SPENT TWO DAYS THERE PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL WITH NO PROBLEMS. MYSELF,GRANDSON AND DAUGHTER HAD BITES ALL OVER OUR FEET AND ANKLES,AS WE ARE NO PET OWNERS THEY HAD TO COME FROM THERE, WE DIDN'T GO WITH THEM. NOT ONLY DID THIS LEAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT OUR STAY BUT, I FELT THE OWNER SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORTH COMING WHEN THIS INFORMATION,BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANTS AND FLEAS. NOT A RELAXING VACATION, MORE WORK THEN I WOULD HAVE DONE AT HOME. AND HOW DO YOU UPROOT YOUR GRANDKIDS AFTER YOU ARE ALL SETTLED IN FOR A "BEACH STAY"
I FELT HER RESPONSE TO THIS SITUATION TO BE LESS THEN PROFESSIONAL. DON'T NEED A DEGREE IN ENTOMOLOGY TO RECOGNIZE FLEAS FROM ANTS,THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE BARGAINED FOR. AS TOLD THE OWNER,WE LET THE PROPERTY MUCH CLEANER THAN WE FOUND IT
Loved our stay, and liked it more the longer we stayed. Not fancy, but plenty of room. My wife was impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking gear. The owner was very accommodating with our unusual and early scheduling. The owner was also very responsive when we had a question.
This April (2017) we have been in the house.
It is big enough for at least eight people.
It is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood.
The forest and the beach are a few hundred meters.
Kim (the owner) has solved any doubts we have had
Really, a very appetizing place to spend a vacation
