The house was very well appointed with everything one needs. When we arrived the house was clean and the owner had left some beautiful cut flowers in a vase on the dining room table. Nice touch. I especially loved the views from the porch and hope to visit again, soon!
Historic and lovely big house. Everything you need for a great stay on a private beach in New London.
Loved loved the house, felt like I stepped back in time sitting on the porch facing the ocean kept wondering what it was like so many years ago. House was clean and comfortable! Canโt beat the private beach with soft sand. My 3 year old Grandson was amazed by the light house and the ferries traveling back and forth. Would recommend this rental property
What a wonderful house for a large family to vacation at. We rented it for my daughterโs US Coast Guard Academy graduation and it was perfect for us.
My family had such a wonderful time at this beautiful property! We were a group of 7 adults and 4 children (12, 5, 4 and 20 months old) --and this home was spacious enough to support our family and then some. We did not leave the property to experience some of the local attractions......this WAS the attraction. We have a saying in our family--we don't watch television on vacation when you have access to channel 1----the gorgeous view!--the lighthouse, the floating dock with a diving board, the private sandy beach, and the beautiful sailboats/ferries that traverse the water on a daily basis. My children and grandchildren all want to go back next summer! Just a very comfortable home with good vibes! The owners were a dream to work with--even mailing YETI tumblers/glasses to us that we left behind! When we arrived---there were fresh flowers in vases throughout the home---such a special touch. The kitchen is well stocked. There were games for children of all ages. We completed a 1000 piece puzzle of Lighthouses of New England on the beautiful porch with the New London Ledge Lighthouse as a backdrop.....! I can't say enough about this home and the family that owns the home......We hope to be back next summer!
First off, the house is better than the pictures, if you can believe it. The property is well maintained, and the house is extremely functional. We were a group of 5 adults, 2 adult children and an 18 month old and we all had a great time. The proximity of the beach to the house makes everything very easy. The owners were a pleasure to deal with. Very responsive, very reasonable, and very nice. All of our questions were answered quickly and accurately. They provided us with restaurant suggestions for our stay, which was very nice since we were not familiar with the area. We didn't want to leave this magical place and we are all counting the days till we can return. Thank you Susan and Anne for such a lovely vacation! We truly enjoyed every minute at your fantastic home.
We really enjoyed this property and the fabulous view. Having a beach right outside your steps is wonderful and loved the porch, too! The owners helped us find a caterer that was terrific and we loved our stay! Thanks for having us. Hope to come back in the mid summer to enjoy the kayaks and water and stay a bit longer, too.
We felt very lucky to have found such a great place to stay and host family from all over. The house is beautiful and stocked with everything you could possibly want. Back porch views and beach access are amazing - did not want to leave!
My family and I have come to New London for the past five summers. We've stayed at different houses every year but this house is definitely our favorite house because: - it is right on the private beach so it is easy to get the most out of the beach all day long without the hassle of lugging things back and forth - directly in front of the house, about 200 feet from the shore, there is a floating raft which our kids love to swim out to and jump off of...for hours!! - it's about 500 steps from Ocean Park (you can get access to it on the from the beach and don't have to pay the entrance fee) which is chock-full of activities to keep kids busy all week such as waterslides, playground, nature walk, crabbing tidal pool, outdoor olympic pool, splash pad, arcade, mini golf and small amusement park. Ocean Park is heaven for kids, especially those between the ages of 2 to 12 years old. - the house fit us comfortably, 6 adults and a handful of kids. We stayed at 3 other large houses in Neptune Park / Ocean Beach area in years past and this one was the best! Clean, well taken care of and full of everything you could need for a week at the beach including lounge chairs and beach toys. I liked the room in the attic the best - quiet, relaxing and a view of the beach. - The owners are warm, wonderful and welcoming. We had one rainy day last year and the TV nook in the living room was too small to fit all of us but the owner called us and let us know where they kept the games and puzzles and we had a fun family day indoors. Honestly, we felt like we discovered a gem when we first came here. There are crowds now on the weekend at Ocean Beach but the private beach, where this house is located, is never crowded. Most families we've met there return every year. It is like stepping back in time and the memories from our summers in New London will sustain me for a lifetime!
2017 was our 5th year at The Beach House and we have booked for our 6th year in 2018. Our party consists of several kids (adults) and 5 grandchildren . There is plenty of room for everyone. The house is located directly on a private beach and sitting on the huge porch watching the grand kids in the water is a great way to spend an afternoon. Sitting by the fire on a chilly night isn't too bad either! We have established traditions like celebrating 2 of the grand kids and my wife's birthdays at The Beach House. The grand kids start badgering us about The Beach House starting around May of each year. The house is equipped with everything that you need whether cooking, playing games, reading or playing in the water. This year we asked if the house might be available for a few days for Thanksgiving. We did not realize when we asked that the house was closed up for the winter. Anne, Russell, Susan and Gary graciously opened it for 3 days for us. This may well become a new tradition. This review will not adequately convey how much that you will enjoy this home.
