PRIVATE BEACH: A SLICE OF HEAVEN @ NIANTIC W/ 6 QUEENS 1 FULL BED

Our 3-night stay at this beautiful beachfront house was just what we needed! There are so many windows with full water views you almost feel like you're on a boat! Beachy interior decor is upscale and consistent throughout the house. Plenty of big beds! Bedrooms are spacious, although most lack dressers. Heat was efficient and quiet for our early spring stay. The wine fridge near the bar is a nice feature, although I was disappointed that wine glasses were not provided. (A set of 6 glasses can be purchased at Target for under $20.) I also would've preferred a coffee maker to the Keurig, but everything provided was clean and good quality. Need to bring your own games/cards/puzzles, but it's nice there is no clutter. There's plenty of room for a group to spread out in different areas of the house. Loved the proximity of the park, other small beaches, Niantic Bay Boardwalk and the town center. Appreciated being able to bring our dog and walk her on the beach before May 1st. Would definitely consider returning for a spring get-away while the area is quiet. Summer crowds in this tightly packed community may not be to our liking, although I'm sure others prefer that bustling atmosphere.

Our experience at this impressive property was exceptional, from start to finish. The host (Utopia Property Management) was responsive to all of questions and requests. We had booked an extended stay during the holidays so inclement weather was a possibility. A snow shovel and ice melt was provided on day of arrival. The Keurig machine stopped working after a couple of days and a brand new one was delivered by the friendly maintenance staff within two hours! Alex also arrived with a plow on the day it snowed 8 inches! At the end of our stay the host kindly offered a late check out which allowed us to gather our belongings at a more relaxed pace. Believe me, it was difficult to leave! The beachfront house provided us with ocean views from nearly every room, and with weather changing by the hour, it was quite a spectacular place to spend the holiday. The spacious gathering places were the perfect backdrop to our family celebrations. On the snow day we were joined by our young grandchildren and we were able to walk to the hill at McCook's Point Beach for sledding! They were thrilled! Our very special family and friends gatherings will certainly become part of our forever memory books.

The house was extremely clean and had a very nice layout. My only complaint would be that the beds are listed as queens are on the small side, more like full sized mattresses. I would say more accurately sleeps 7 comfortably, 9 if you have some couples. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Beach access was so convenient and relaxing.

Beautiful location right on the beach. Comfortable for all

Fabulous will rent again next year

Everything was as advertised. We loved the sounds of the surf. Watched the sunrise each morning with coffee on the beach.the beds were very comfortable. Overall, a very relaxing time. Thank you.

I rented this property for my daughter and friends after her prom! Neighbors were great and perfect location for shopping and restaurants. Rooms were spacious and it was a perfect weekend for them.

Excellent property by the water. Pristine amenities and interior design. Prompt response from property management when needed. Would definitely recommend this for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful view!! Perfect space for family gathering!! Love love love the open concept!!

The location was perfect!

This rental was on the more expensive side, which naturally comes with high expectations. The view is incredible, which is essentially what you’re paying for here. So I’ll just list pros and cons for both considering renters and as honest feedback for the property owner/manager: PROS: •Incredible view. Hard to beat. •Relaxing sound of being right on the Atlantic Ocean. •Small quiet and peaceful town. A true escape from many people. Only a few beach walkers throughout the day, and quiet 99% of the time. •Big TV with all the best streaming apps installed. Good for nighttime’s when the view is fully darkened (it’s so desolate that you can’t even see outdoors after sundown. Pretty much pure blackness). •Safe town. Dedicated parking spots. •Many rooms. Likely great for a larger family. •Pet friendly. •Washer/Dryer/Dishwasher •Friendly host, fast response time. CONS: •Bad HVAC. Really bad. A hassle to use, and doesn’t work well at all. Needed maintenance to come on first evening, and it got overly hot. You can’t control individually on the units or the system malfunctions. The baseboard barely does anything in November. •Dirty. The house was very dirty aside from the clean linen and kitchen dishes/utensils. Filthy floors, and all sorts of grime on the dining room table and bathroom door/wall. Pretty unacceptable for the price we paid. Owner should hire a better cleaning crew and repaint the dirty wear and tear. •Uncomfortable beds and couches. •Bad local food.

The perfect location, beach outside back door, warm enough to swim! A wonderful milestone birthday get together.

Lovely beach house in a great location along the CT coast. Great house for a group of friends or family. I fell asleep every night listening to the sounds of waves crashing. The house was a short walk into the village of Niantic and also a great base for exploring the entire area. Check-in was virtual and super easy and the house provided all the basic amenities.

Property was great. Everything was super clean, and check in was a breeze. Being steps from the beach with young kids was invaluable. Had an issue with the AC and management sent someone right over to address it (unit worked fine, I think one of the kids messed with the remote). The house was exactly as described. We are already trying to coordinate dates to visit again next year.
