Niantic holiday house

Home was clean, warm and inviting....large enough to accommodate our big family, and with every possible amenity one might think of to entertain a bunch of kids ranging from infancy to teens. Board games, videos, and books galore.....pool, ping pong, foosball, mini-pool....bicycles in every size, beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas....even infant toys and seats were all available. The kitchen was well stocked, and the laundry room made it a pleasure to pack for home without the dirty laundry of 7 kids!!! You don't need to pack much more than a toothbrush and a swimsuit - everything you might need is in this lovely home :-) We were lucky to have beautiful weather throughout our stay and thoroughly enjoyed the private Oak Grove beach as well as the nearby beach and playground, Mystic Seaport and Aquarium, Bishop's Orchards pick-your-own fruit and berries, and Ocean Beach Park. Highly recommend!

As holiday accommodation goes, this has got to be one of the best places we have ever stayed. The beach house we rented became our home from the moment we arrived, as thanks to the owners Paula and David, the information we recieved before our trip, all the way from Scotland, helped us quickly establish ourselves in our holiday home. Our host's advised that we have a good old nosey around the house to help us locate everything we might need for our holiday and we were amazed as they had thought of everything and we wanted for nothing. The house was warm and inviting, beautifuly furnished and very clean. The location was perfect for everyone in our party from our youngest at 7 years to oldest at 76 years young. To the front of the house we could see the ocean and to the back of the house the marsh with lots of wildlife and an Osprey nesting with it's young. We loved sitting out on the deck which was very spacious and the outdoor shower was fantastic.The kids loved the bikes, the kayaks, the pool table, the ping-pong table and every toy and game imaginable. For the ladies we loved the hugh kitchen, the piping hot water for showers and baths as well as the choice of books and videos to help us relax. For the men they enjoyed cooking on the barbeque and if truth be told they also enjoyed all the same things that the kids loved. Even with ten in our party the house always seemed to provide enough space for everyone to do their own thing. I would recommend this home to anyone who wants a little piece of paridise at the beach and who really can appreciate a host who has really thought of everything to make your holiday special. All they ask is that you enjoy their home and when you are done , put every thing back where you found it to enable the next guest to enjoy their holiday. Scotland is renowned for it's hospitality and Paula and David should be congratulated on the level of hospitality they provided their guests. If we visit this part of America again, this would be the home we would rent. Brilliant place, a real home from home at the beach.

Our family stayed here a few weeks ago. The house is wonderful and very clean! The owners think of everything you could possibly need. In addition, the house's close proximity to the beach, the toys and games and the big backyard are perfect for children. We had a great weeklong vacation!
