Photos and Description of the Niantic vacation house rental
House, 5 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 12)

Captain's Cottage was built along with rest of the neighborhood in the 1890's by the Crescent Beach Land Company as a summer get away. Since then the cottage has been extensively remodeled and winterized as a year round residence. It now features a large, eat-in gourmet kitchen, a Bose home theater, a dining/gaming room, and a computer area. A major remodel completed in 2007 added an oversized two car garage, a master suite with jetted shower, an upper deck with discrete sunning area and hot tub, a pool/trophy room with an eight foot Connelly table, and a basement with home gym, including a universal machine, a treadmill, and free weights. It also has a 32' LCD TV/DVD with P90X.

Captain's Cottage is ideally located just 66 steps--I counted'em--away from the finest beach for miles around. Crescent Beach is meticulously manicured every morning at the crack of dawn. It has a raft, a lifeguard, and 'The Stand', serving breakfast and lunch daily. There's a place to launch small boats.

Captain's Cottage is an easy walk into town, having all the ammenities of a classic New England beach town: clam shacks, ice cream and coffee shops, antiques, gift shops, movie theater, pizza parlors and watering holes.

Captain's Cottage is uniquely suited for entertaining. There is a gas grill on the tropical themed front porch that Jimmy Buffet would be proud of, and the dining room opens to the front porch thru an opening in the wet bar for al fresco dining. There is service for parties of up to twenty.

Captain's Cottage comes fully equipped with all the gear your family will need to get the most from your stay at the beach!

Wonderful place for CGA Graduation Week!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 6, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
We stayed at Captain's Cottage during the week of our son's graduation from the Coast Guard Academy. We had parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, and friends stay and everyone appreciated the spaciousness. We had a some beautiful weather and some rainy, windy weather. Even in the wind and rain, there was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy one another's company or some privacy. We especially enjoyed the water views from the front porch and upstairs deck. Niantic is the perfect place for an early morning walk. We were completely satisfied with our stay and highly recommend this property.

Beyond Expectation! - The Most Fun Our Crew Has Ever Had Together!

Captain Rick has created a home dedicated to enjoying the pleasures of life, and he makes it easy to do so with family and friends. Everything he advertises is there and ready to go. The photos do not do this place justice -- it is even more impressive in-person. From the tiki bar on the farmers porch to the rooftop hot tub, there are many reasons to simply hang at the house all day long. Need a walk? A beautiful beach is across the street, including a cute little snack bar that makes breakfast and lunch. Need some more action? The casinos are 20 minutes away. Or, charter a boat for some of the area's best fishing. Most importantly, the man behind it all, Captain Rick, is a generous man-of-his-word. You can be sure to have an amazing time in his beautiful and well-outfitted home. I only ask that you respect the place when you're there, as we plan on returning soon. Enjoy.

The Perfect Weekend Getaway!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 3, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
10 of my closest friends decided to get out of NYC for the long weekend (Memorial Day) and wanted to go somewhere beach-side. Captain's Cottage was the perfect solution! Captain Rick is a very responsive property owner who pays very close attention to detail. Upon our arrival, everything was just as he had said and/or in the property listing. The beach really IS 66 steps away from the Captain's Cottage! Even with cold and rainy weather, the Captain's Cottage had everything we needed to keep ourselves entertained and relaxed. We'll be back again!

Perfect House for a Beach Vacation!

There were a total of 8 of us (ages 25-35) that stayed at the Captain's Cottage for a 4-day weekend. We were in town for a wedding at the Coast Guard Academy in New London (only about 20 minutes away). We could not have been happier with our choice to stay at the Captain's Cottage and did not want to leave!

There was plenty of space for everyone and more private areas of the house so you don’t feel constantly on top of one another. When we arrived Captain Rick greeted us to show us around the house and highlight some great features (hot tub, gas fireplaces, in-house tap & bar!). The house was spotless, has a fully functional kitchen, pool table, multiple decks and a cozy family room. Much of our time was spent on the 2nd floor deck listening to the waves from the hot tub. There are ocean views from one side of the house as it is literally steps away from the beach, 1/2 mile or so from gorgeous ocean-side park and they were opening up the snack bar next door for the season on the day we were leaving. The CC is perfect for a long weekend with family or friends or a week-long vacation to lounge on the beach. Only about 25 minutes or so from downtown Mystic- there is plenty to do nearby. I would highly recommend renting the Captain's Cottage if you are planning on staying in the area!

This is the place to be!

Immediate family and relatives converged on The Captain's Cottage from Georgia, New Jersey, upper-state New York, and of course Connecticut for our annual holiday celebration for 3 days. The 12 of us that stayed overnights found comfortable accommodations and had plenty of room to prepare, cook and serve meals for the 20 individuals we had for the holiday itself.

Traffic flow was smooth as a result of the great layout and the number of rooms. Between the dining room, pool room, entertainment room, kitchen and living room there was always a place for the multiple activities that various groups were involved in for the entire stay to take place simultaneously throughout the entire stay. There was never an instance when someone could not find a place to scoot off to. Having 2 beautifully equipped bathrooms and a half-bath, there were no logistical problems between the numbers of people there.

Anytime we had questions for the owner, Captain Rick (which was not often), we got immediate and satisfactory response either by email or phone - Fantastic!! For example, we had a water pressure problem with the kitchen faucet the first evening we were in the Cottage, and someone was there the following morning (on a holiday!) to install a new fixture. How good is that! And you couldn't find nicer, friendlier, amenable people than them!

I spent time with Captain Rick numerous times before our stay and the best way to express my experience "he is the Best of the Best!”

Absolutely everyone that attended said that they had a blast.
Great place, great time - unanimously, we will be back!
