LUXURY COASTAL RETREAT | Walk to Beach. Pool & Sunsets | Sleeps 12

Great house with plenty of space for a large family. The backyard was a highlight with a small plunge pool, fire pit, and lots of yard games that kept everyone entertained. The location is excellent—close to the beach and just a short drive to Mystic. Would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to the area. Michele was a great host and super responsive when we had questions. Highly recommend if you are looking to gather and relax.

This home was fantastic for our family. It had everything we could need to enjoy our stay- a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable and quiet bedrooms, and the pool table/air hockey/ping pong table was a huge hit for the kids (and adults)! The backyard pool was perfect on the hot summer days when we didn’t feel like going to the beach. Michele was quick to respond when we had a question. Would absolutely stay here again in the future!

A fantastic home for a family vacation. Large rooms, well furnished, with plenty of kitchen items, and beach towels. The outdoor pool area is nice. My grandkids practically lived in the pool all day. The home is in great condition, with large screen TVs with soundbars, plenty of dining area, and modern appliances. The area is quiet, safe, and the backyard is private. The home was also just a short 10 minute drive to dining and grocery shopping areas of Niantic and Waterford, as well as the nice Waterford Beach Park. We had a great family vacation here, and highly recommend for any family considering a vacation in that area of CT. Mystic Aquarium and Seaport are around 25 minutes away.

We couldn’t have been happier with our accommodations. It was a wonderful week.

The Owl's Nest is a huge, immaculate, well-equipped home in a residential area near several beaches. The pool, although seemingly small, was just perfect for us, and when some family visited for the day, it accommodated about 10 adults and two babies in and about the pool with lots of fun. I would recommend this lovely home for a nice Connecticut shore vacation; it's quiet and you need to drive to stores and restaurants and beaches - great for runners and walkers and the homes all around are stunning.

Very clean house and in a safe location. Everything worked great and beds were comfortable. Pool is small, the beach is a walk away. Very cute location but need to drive to get to family activities. We would definitely go back for a relaxing get away!

We loved our stay at Owls’ Nest!! It was perfect for our family of 10. The house is very spacious and very well equipped with everything we needed!! We loved having a gorgeous kitchen, a refreshing pool, lots of outdoor and indoor games and a great balcony for watching the beautiful sunsets!!! Thank you Michele!!!

This property was perfect for 4 siblings and our families ! The owner was very responsive and the house was big enough for privacy for all families while providing for large dinners and pool time. We loved it! Thank you, Michele!

We had a nice family vacation even though we had a few days of rain. The kids loved the pool but recommend dry ear after swimming as all the kids got swimmers ear. There were plenty of indoor and outdoor games. We bbq’d most nights but there are some restaurants nearby. The kitchen was well stocked but could have used garbage bags and dish soap..not a big issue but every house we’ve ever rented supplied these and paper towels and toilet paper (We had starter of toilet paper and 1 paper towel to start.). We had a drain issue but Michele took care of it and gifted us some wine for the inconvenience. Michele was very responsive to all my questions! If you are looking for beach time you need to travel a few miles and it’s $25 per car..On the whole , this is a nice vacation home with plenty of room for a big family and Michele was a great host

I recommend this property for family vacations! The house is much larger than the pictures make it seem to be. The rooms are very large allowing enough space for extended families to enjoy both time together and individual rooms. There are many games and activities provided by the property for both children and adults. The backyard is fenced and private. Many of the previous reviews comment on the size of the pool. While it is not huge, it was the perfect size for our family with small children. There are multiples seating areas outside to sit and enjoy the sun if you do not want to swim. We also enjoyed the rooftop deck views in the morning and evenings. We recommend going to the Waterford beach. There is a $25 fee for non residents but the beach is clean and not too busy. It is a short drive and worth the money. The property owner also provides a list of nearby activities and restaurants to visit which was convenient. The property owner is responsive and overall very helpful in completing your booking and stay!

We enjoyed our week long stay in this spacious vacation rental, with 4 bedrooms, bathrooms and television sets. It has lots of seating, inside and out, towels, and a well stocked kitchen. The combination air hockey/ pool/ping pong table was a hit, as well as the pool, complete with pool and other outside toys. It is a short walk to sand bars, and a convenience store, while Pleasure Beach is about a 4 block walk/2 minute drive to its public parking area. Sand chairs, toys, and beach towels were available. We enjoyed Ocean Beach Park with its arcade and rides, and Flanders Fish Market/Restaurant, both a short distance away. There were night lights throughout the house, as well as many steps that were not mentioned in the listing. Bring consumables with you.

Nice property, well kept. Quiet relaxing stay.

This home is ideal for a large family gathering. We actually slept 6 people, but the house could easily have handled another half dozen. Our nearby family came for multiple visits and swims in the well-equipped pool. Lots of fine toys! And the plastic axe-throwing set was a major hit on the sizeable back yard. Everything in the rental was in excellent working order, and we had more than enough plates, flatwear, and kitchen/grill utensils, all clean and in good shape. The swimming pool got lots of use, clean and large enough for all of the live-in family and numbers of visitors. The location is very convenient to shops and restaurants in Waterford (Stop and Shop grocery, Ocean State Job Lot, Dollar Tree) Niantic, and East Lyme. (We recommend Fat Tuna and the Flanders Fish Market for both food and service.) Beach life is a short drive away. The walking-distance beach is fine for catching crabs and minnows, but not so much for bathing. Nearby Pleasure Beach is private and the guard seemed resentful when we asked for the public part. I recommene highly the Waterford Town beach (a 10-minute drive away). It's is lovely and welcoming. It's $25 per day per carload for out-of-town visitors, $125 for a season pass that allows in-and-out access (available online). You can drop a carload of beachgoers and go get another batch, no problem. The beach itself is about a half mile long, spotless, with gorgeous sand and air-conditioned bathrooms. There's just no downside!

Our family stay was perfect at this house. There was plenty of room and the pool was a huge plus. The kitchen and restrooms are well stocked and having sheets, bath & pool towels available was so helpful. We enjoyed every minute. Michele was available whenever we needed her for questions.
