Overall there's a lot to recommend this place and knowing its weaknesses through reviews let us prepare for a successful stay. We brought our own chairs, suitable for beach, patio and indoors. Futon is low and not comfy. Brought an air mattress for my daughter, our grandson was happy on the futon. The bedroom was fantastic, spacious with its own bathroom. Nice mattress. Attached bathroom was great, we all used the shower stall. The other bathroom is off the living room, very convenient to have two. The tub was odd, More shallow than normal and installed higher up than usual. My 12 year old grandson fell climbing out, my daughter almost did, so after that it was all about the shower. Plenty of hot water. There's a washer and dryer with a request jar for guests to pay. The machines did a good job and I'm happy to help with laundry expenses. The rent is very reasonable, this wasn't unreasonable. Bring your own detergent. The kitchenette is bare bones, with a few bones missing. There's a great full size fridge, a toaster oven, a regular toaster and microwave. There's adequate space in this area and I think the owners will improve it. No stove. We brought a hot plate (we're campers, bringing extra gear is inconvenient but no biggie) for hot dogs and beans on a rainy day and a collapsible grill. But the house is very near Giants Neck and Rocky Neck and a quick drive to Niantic and the amazing Book Barn. The owners are responsive and take good care of their property.

The house didn’t smell great walking in. Kitchen has no sink and we were expecting to clean all dishes in the bathroom. Next time I would want to bring my own towels because the towels given were well used. Says it sleeps six with only one bedroom not sure how six people would fit. Bathroom in living area is very strange. Toilet is a step up and the tub is So high up to climb in. Also, the only beach pass given is to drive up to the beach and drop stuff off. Says it’s walkable to the beach but it isn’t an easy walk. Also just a door between you and the others staying in the house. So we could hear the little kids next door.

Just as listed. We went to just the right of the private beach in cove like setting, refreshing warm water, no big waves and walk out pretty far to your waist. Home to beach is a short walk or a place to drop off your stuff from your car. State park is short distance away. Owners always answered questions in a timely manner and accommodating in our needs.

The location and cleanliness were excellent; ac worked well, but this place lacked some of the basics one would expect. Doing dishes in the bathroom with no dishtowel or dishpan?!? Plastic plates for the microwave, plates that said not advisable for such use. Only 2 bowls, no can opener, no cutting board. We thought the host was inattentive but it appears our VRBO communications did not go through - not clear why that was as we haven't had that problem ever before. If the host did just a bit more this place could be stellar. Ideal would be if they provided beach chairs and towels, in addition to better basics.

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.
