I can't say enough good things about this property. i immediately felt at home and relaxed. You have a direct water view to a tranquil cove where I could kayak almost every morning. The house is well stocked with everything you might need and things you didn't even know you'd need. The neighborhood is great for morning and evening walks and the neighbors are friendly. The host was very responsive the one time I had a question. You are close enough to Noank, New London, and downtown Groton for a quick trip for dinner or groceries. I can't wait to stay here again!

We stayed for a month in this quiet, quaint neighborhood. With a beautiful view of the lake, I was able to work remote while spending time with my grandchildren that live nearby. We were close to live music, Mystic and pickleball. Thank you for having us!

Great little home. Our family of four loved the house and location. Our kids (aged 17 & 13) shared the small room. Although it was tight, the trundle bed allowed for each to have a full-sized twin bed. The kitchen was awesome, it’s beautiful, great layout and has all needed kitchenware. Appreciated the washer/dryer. Although there is no central A/C we greatly appreciated the window unit in the master bedroom as well as the roll-in (and attach to window) unit available for use in the second bedroom for the kids, both were enough to keep us comfortable for the really hot/humid days.
The view from the front rooms and deck were gorgeous of the cove and cute little airport. We loved watching little planes taking off and landing. It’s a very short walk down the street to the beach/point to take in ocean views, really pretty.
We visit family in the area so we will definitely return!

Excellent peaceful beach getaway
This house was perfect for my family’s needs! My husband and I stayed along with our 5-year-old and 4-month old. Everything was very clean and well equipped. Our son loved the private little beach at the end of the road and looking for crabs. Eastern Point Beach is very close by too and the house comes with a beach pass, but for walk-ins only. We ended up driving and parking only because we have a lot of gear to lug with our kids. Eastern Point beach is extremely clean and very family friendly. The house is in a great location, close to local attractions such as the Sub base and Mystic. Would definitely book again!

Loved it all!!

Excellent Mini Vacation
My family (2 adults and one toddler) stayed during the fourth of July weekend. The home was as described and the perfect quiet getaway. It is a 10-15 minute drive from Mystic, close to a small rocky beach down the street, and a mile walk (or drive) to Eastern Point Beach, which was the perfect calm setting where we were with other families with young children.
JP was a great communicator, was quick to respond to any questions, and it was easy to navigate anything in the home. The kitchen was fully stocked, so we were able to make a quick grocery store trip and have meals in the home without issue. He also let us know of a local fireworks show that we all were able to enjoy. Neighbors were all friendly, always smiling and waving when we passed on our walks.
There is a small local airport across the street, but we did not notice much air traffic or even hear many planes. We also love watching planes take off and land, so it was a little perk for us when we could catch them.
The home was very clean. Fresh linens and bath towels were available if we needed. Very well done vacation rental. Perfect for a small family. Plenty to do within 15 minutes, even with a couple of rainy days in between. Would definitely love to stay here again. Great experience overall.

Nice Location
Our stay at JRs house was relaxing and pleasant. Check in was easy. The house was clean and stocked with the basic necessities. The kitchen had all the utensils and cookware that we needed. The space was the perfect size. Directions for anything we might need was clearly written out. Directions for the TV, air conditioner, etc. Lists of nearby activities, restaurants, beaches, etc were all provided.
This house was conveniently located across the street from a kayak launch. This made it very easy to take out kayaks out and paddle around to a beach for some fishing and relaxing.
We also enjoyed taking the short drive into Mystic for dinner and shopping.
The one downfall was the queen bed. It was very stiff and uncomfortable. A small mattress topper would make the world of a difference.
I would definitely stay here again

Great Location for Beach Trip with Toddler
The property has water views from the living room, but is not on the water (the water is across the street), which makes it much safer to stay at with young kids. Eastern Point Beach is very kid friendly and has nice sand, and did not feel like a long walk (about a mile) even pulling a wagon with beach gear and a toddler. There is pay parking too if you do not want to walk. There are no restaurants within walking distance, but plenty to order delivery from. We also enjoyed exploring Groton and Mystic and found nice waterfront places to eat that were also kid friendly! Would highly recommend for families with young kids.

Perfect couple getaway
The home is Beautiful, well equipped and clean. The location is in a quiet neighborhood and the views are breathtaking. The kayaks were an added bonus and directly across the street was the entrance to the water, what a wonderful experience.
JP was great at communicating and we would highly recommend this vacation rental.

Lovely Weekend Getaway
We stayed for a long weekend in early June. Conveniently located ~15 minutes or less from everything (aquarium, beaches, hiking, etc). Perfect size for our family of 3. We were able to put our daughter to bed and enjoy drinks on the deck or a movie in the living room without disturbing her. This rental had all the little details covered -- from helpful cooking utensils to a step stool so my daughter could more easily reach the sink.

Very quiet and nice
This cottage is just right for a couple or a family with one or two kids but I would not put two adults in the smaller bedroom. The place is very clean and has a well equipped kitchen; it's located in a pretty quiet (quasi-) cul de sac and provides a great view from the living room or the porch. There is not much around in walking distance but if that does not bother you, I highly recommend.

Great Week Away
The place was as advertised, perfect. Small beach at the end of the road was nice to watch the boats and airplanes come and go. Access to the town beach and kayaks for exploring.

Perfect Beach Home!
We loved our stay at this home. Our favorite part was watching the birds from the beautiful deck and walking down to the local beach with our two children to wade in the water and watch the boats. The home was perfectly equipped with all the luxuries of a nice hotel (comfortable beds, high quality sheets and towels, soap, etc.) but the coziness of your own home. The kitchen also had everything you need. Only thing missing was a place to dine outdoors. We would go back!

Perfect getaway
We loved this cottage! It was extremely clean and had everything we needed to make it a home for the week. We loved cooking in the kitchen and sitting on the rocking chairs on the porch. We even took the kayaks out one day! Great cottage and we’d love to come back.

Fantastic getaway
I hadn't explored any of the CT beaches, and randomly picked this rental because it looked cute and had the #1 feature I was looking for: walkable to the water.
We found the house was exactly as described, but still exceeded our expectations. The street itself is quite nice, and has very little traffic. You see more people walking their dogs than you will see cars. The houses are all nicely kept and it has a great beach feel. There is a private beach at the end of the street that is rocky, but swimmable. It's the perfect place to spend an hour or two in the morning reading a book and admiring the view. At night, you can sit and have a fire while you watch the sun set. It's lovely.
Eastern Point Beach is technically within walking distance (just under a mile) but would be challenging if you wanted to bring any gear. I would suggest you bring a wagon so you can bring chairs, a cooler, etc. Or just use the parking lot (fee will apply). That beach is large and has nice sand, and is great for swimming.
Beach access & water views: A+
Now - the house. It's small, yes. But so thoughtfully done! The decor is beachy without being tacky - it's simple, bright, and classic. Everything has been redone and is modern - gorgeous kitchen, filled with every dish, pan or utensil you might need. The bedrooms are comfortable. The main bathroom has also been renovated and is gorgeous - the shower is wonderful. The beds and couch are all comfortable.
While the house is small, we comfortable slept 4 and had an easy time hanging out - playing scrabble (again, a nice touch in the house is the selection of games), or sitting on the porch enjoying the view.
When we needed to do laundry, we used the convenient washer & dryer. Everything has been thought of, making it one of the more enjoyable stays I've had in a rental.
Overall, definitely an A+

Great little place!
Four of us were in town to attend a festival for the long weekend. This home has been recently renovated and I must say that it has been beautifully done! Even the choice of paint colors was beautiful and reflected the water just across the street.
The owner seems to have tried to think of everything you could possibly need here during your stay.
The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, dishwasher, dishes, glasses and cutlery. There is a french press and a Keurig (with refillable pod) so you have your choice of morning coffee.
There is a washer and dryer for your use, extra blankets, linens and towels. There is a hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Two televisions with Roku if that interests you.
The beds were new and very comfortable and we all (4 of us) slept well.
My husband and sister-in-law took the two kayaks out for a nice trip around the bay and nearby island while my brother-in-law and myself attended the festival.
The beach is just down the road and the home includes a walk in pass for 4. However, you should note that the parking is $30.00 and cash only. We made the mistake of assuming they would take a credit card but it was a quick trip back to the house to get cash.
JP is an excellent communicator and responds quickly to the many inquiries I had.
The front porch is a nice place to sit with either a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
Lovely!
