About The Owner

We have lived in Eastern CT for the last 20 years. Originally from the UK we like to travel and see various parts of the world. When we do, we like to feel like we are “at home” so we have tried to make this home feel like that for you.

The Owner purchased this house in 2004
Why The Owner chose Niantic

We bought this house in 2004 because we love the waterfront in Niantic. This location offers a private beach and dock, a short motor over to a marina and is in a quiet neighborhood. You can stay at home and avoid the crowds, or take a short walk or drive into town for more bustle depending on your mood.

What makes this house unique

This home offers a chance to “get away from it all” but with access to the town of Niantic and other bigger beach towns along the CT coast. A short walk from the house to tennis courts and a nature preserve with trails for your enjoyment. Or you can sit on the deck all day and watch the boats go by, while the children play on the beach.

USCGA Parents Weekend Visit

5 of 5
Submitted: October 11, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We spent a lovely four days at this home for parents weekend at the coast guard academy. It was perfect for relaxing with our cadet. It was absolutely beautiful in the morning sitting and watching the sculls go by on the River. It was very convenient to get to the house from the Coast Guard Academy. We will definately return when we can.

Excellent vacation spot

5 of 5
Submitted: September 17, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Our stay at this home was wonderful! My two girls, husband and I stayed for a week. We were pleasantly surprised with wine, milk, ice cream amongst other goodies in our welcome package on our first day.
The weather was perfect! The home has everything you need and is very comfortable. I was upset I didn't pack sunscreen for the girls and voila- there was sunscreen samples left in the bathroom for us! We were provided with towels, sheets, soap, shampoo, conditioner.....basically everything you need and more. The kitchen is well equipped as well. The owners have really put a lot of thought into this home!
We enjoyed grilled meals on the beach or deck every night. We spent the days kayaking, building sand castles, catching crab, etc. In the evenings, we watched movies (from the excellent DVD collection) in the entertainment room on the third floor. We left one day to explore historic mystic, but we were eager to head back to kayak, etc.
My favorite room in the whole house is the master bedroom- at nights all you see are the calming waves and it truly feels like you're drifting in the water.
We've rented before in black point, but nothing beats this house and location! We will definitely be coming back next summer. This is hands down the best vacation we have ever taken! Thank you VRBO and owners of this amazing home!

Great Vacation Spot!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 5, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This house is exactly as pictured and was a wonderful vacation spot. We had 3 couples and 2 small children (12 and 24 months) for 4 nights. The place was perfect for the little ones as the first floor had a wide open area for the kids to play. We spent almost all of the days lounging on the beach or on the deck/grass area and grilled every night. It is an ideal place to relax - we rarely left!

The owners were incredibly accommodating. Kathy was very responsive to all of my million questions. The house itself is very clean and well taken care of. The house was stocked with extra paper towels, toilet paper, tin foil, saran wrap and lots of other items that you hope to find but don't always. The kitchen had everything you would need - we made pancakes on the griddle and blended smoothies!

I would absolutely stay here again and recommend this property to friends!

Fantastic holiday home

5 of 5
Submitted: August 20, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We had a really fantastic experience in Niantic at this perfect holiday home. The property was impeccable and the owners have really thought of everything. We were 3 adults and 3 kids and there was plenty of space. While the house is absolutely lovely, the furniture and carpets are rugged so you don't live in fear that a child is going to break something or track sand in the house. The owners were so warm and totally available for any questions. They left a giant binder of fantastic information about the house, local beaches and restaurants and the surrounding areas. The beds, towels, sheets, comforters - everything was clean, comfy, and tasteful. The house is really, really well-organized so you never have to look too hard to find what you need. The master bedroom suite is one of the most beautiful rooms we've ever slept in with panoramic views of the water.

The kitchen was fantastic and 100% well-equipped for all our needs. The town is a short distance away with cute beaches, sweet restaurants, and a great ice cream shop! Grocery shopping is very nearby as are tourist locations like Mystic, Stonington and New London. The neighborhood is very quiet and so beautiful but not touristy at all. You feel like you are part of a very nice and friendly community.

The little beach and dock is just perfect for kids - our girls spent hours finding hermit crabs and minnows and fishing off the dock. You can swim off the dock and there is a little public beach across the way - you just have to watch out for small sailing and power boats that come in and out of the nearby marina. We had an incredible time kayaking in the nearby protected cove and wish that we had rented a rowboat or canoe so we could take all the kids out there. We also wish we had brought tennis shoes so we could play on the nice nearby clay courts.

We had lots of plans to go places and do things but the house is so relaxing and so comfortable that often we found ourselves unable to leave! We grilled lovely meals and had cool nights out on the deck and fun times watching movies together in the fabulous upstairs screening room. We hope to return and we are already jealous of you if you are renting this house for your holiday!
