Christmas Vacation

Great, cozy property with beautiful views of the trees, community and osprey. Three bedrooms and sleeping space near the kitchen had great views. House includes a rec room with adjoining twin bed room on the lowest level, which we were looking forward to using but couldn’t because the area was wasn’t heated. Otherwise, wonderful house for all family members!

A wonderful, well-equipped and clean home with a beautiful view of the salt marsh from the upper deck. The sunsets over the marsh were spectacular!

An Absolute Gem!

Can't say enough good things about this beautiful rental property. We found it to be clean, well stocked with all the amenities we would need, and spacious enough for our 3 small families to be comfortable. The owners are delightful to deal with and assured us that they would be available to reach if we needed anything (we didn't need a thing because the home had everything!). The location is convenient to many attractions. The home itself is situated on a fairytale lot. We could not have been more pleased and strongly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in that area of Connecticut.

Great home for multigeneration family group

We had a great stay at Osprey Cove! The views of the wetlands and osprey nest were amazing. We had a multi-generation group of 7 and the house was perfect for our needs. The house was well-maintained and clean. There was plenty of space, with living rooms on the first floor and lower floor. There was also lots of outdoor space, with balconies with seating. The beds were very comfortable. It was convenient to have four bathrooms. We appreciated the large dining table so our group could all eat together. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cutlery. It was a quick drive to the beach, and there was plenty of beach parking while we were there. The house had a lot of gear for the kids, with bikes, games, and puzzles. We didn't end up using the kayaks, but it was nice to have as an option. Communication with the owner was easy and fast. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Mini-Reunion

Had a 3-family mini-reunion. Lots of beds and rooms. Beautiful house that was very clean. Very stunning, unique view overlooking the salt marsh. Enjoyed taking the kayaks out right from back of the property. Nice trail nearby through the woods to walk the dogs.

Captivating coastal charm

It is hard to out into words how much this home provided us with a beautiful, restful, peaceful and invigorating stay. Our hosts were attentive, organized, helpful and answered our questions immediately when we needed. The house is beautiful and the balcony views just breathtaking. I am not able to find the words to describe how wonderful our stay was. You will have to see for yourselves!

A perfect gathering place!

Our family really could not have been happier with our week at Osprey Cove... an ideal spot for our family gathering. With our group ranging in age from 6 to 89, we found the house to be very accommodating for all ages. If the review section allowed for more characters, I could go on and on about how great the house is, how incredible the location is, how cute the little town of Niantic is. This is such a great vacation spot! Overall, the house is NICE... everything is high quality. It was immaculately clean and well organized - we found everything we needed very easily. Very nice and convenient supply of beach gear. Lots of chairs and 2 nice big umbrellas. Helpful not to have to pack those big items! Aside from how nice the house is inside, then there is the magic and beauty of the location. The view from the back decks is something I don't think one could ever get tired of! As someone who loves to paddle board, it was truly one of the nicest places I've ever paddled. Winding through the salt march, out to the Sound... with the birds swooping and the train rumbling by - it was amazing. (The train doesn't use it's horn in that area so there is no major noise factor.) Highly recommend the nearby restaurant Fat Tuna. Great food and atmosphere. My family feels so fortunate to have found a place that worked out so well for our week together. We will cherish the memories and all the beautiful pictures we were able to take!

Perfect family beach vacation

Our stay was extremely relaxing and we loved this home. It was spacious and accommodating. We hope to visit again in coming years. The location is amazing being near a trail, close to the beach and 10 mins from downtown restaurants. The neighborhood is cute and included many friendly neighbors who said hi during our evening strolls. The views from the backyard/decks are spectacular. We were able to see the Osprey everyday. We walked a few times to the beach and also used the beach pass to park close by. The hosts are easy to communicate with so definitely reach out if you have questions and are considering booking this rental.

Hershey getaway

We were very pleased with the accommodations and the condition of the property and the location. We were pleasantly surprised to see the twin beds in the lower level, which were not shown on the pictures that were online. It was the perfect place for the teenagers, we did a little bit of kayaking. We went to the beach and spent lots of time playing games and reconnecting his family. Liz was very easy to connect with, and answered our questions quickly we were very pleased to have her as a host. Because it is midway between Maine and Pennsylvania we may be using this vacation home again.

The Perfect Escape!

Our stay in Niantic exceeded our expectations! The home was perfect for our group; a quiet cul-de-sac location, properly stocked with the essentials and close to activities (casinos, trails/hiking, etc). Liz was a pleasure to work with, we would absolutely stay here again.

Peaceful family getaway

Wonderful property located on a peaceful marsh with beautiful birds-ospreys, egrets, herons-kayaking on calm waters. The house is in excellent condition and perfect for multigenerational families with children who want to spend time together as well as private time. Location is great-2 minutes by car from beach; walkable too (~10 min), right at edge of hiking path in nature park. Liz is a great host- very responsive. Lots of amenities-towels, beach chairs, etc. and even interesting and fun toys for children The pictures don’t do it justice-it is even better than it looks.

Beautiful home with everything you could need!

We had a wonderful week at Osprey Cove! We've been using VRBO for vacation rentals twice a year since 2006 and this is one of the nicest homes we've rented. A beautiful master bedroom with en suite bath (soaking tub and separate shower), with a nice size deck to catch the sunrise, plus two other nice bedrooms on the second floor with another bathroom to share. The main floor has another deck with a seating area for four, plus a screened porch off the kitchen and a patio area for grilling with a table and chairs. Finally the lower level has a large family room with an 80" TV perfect for gaming which opens out to the back yard and another patio for sunning. There were wonderful things to see and do in the area. Our family launched the kayaks from both the backyard and the nearby association clubhouse and made use everyday of the clean association beach which directly borders Rocky Neck State park. Main Street Niantic is a 10 minute drive with restaurants and shops and it's only minutes to The Book Barn - the best used book store in New England. We also took a day trip to Mystic, a 25 minute drive, for the sights and attractions there. Our host was great and always available by text or cell, (our first day there was during hurricane Ida!) and this home is high on our list for a return summer week. The only "fault" - please add a nice reading light in the living room to curl up with all those $1 paperbacks we bought at Book Barn!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Kametz

We are so excited you found our property! We just made this location our second home and are delighted to share it with you. We are from Glastonbury, CT with 4 children and 2 family businesses to keep us busy. Liz owns Just Be, A Self-Care Retreat Center and John owns Mik Advertising & Design. Together they love hiking, biking, kayaking and anything outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We've put our loving energy into this quiet oasis. We love how it's located at the end of a cul-de-sac, safe for the kids to bike and walk around the community. There is access to an amazing hiking/biking/walking trail right outside the driveway. And within 2 minutes you can park your car in the private beach parking lot and hop onto the beach for a day filled with sun and water adventures. Or you can stay right in the backyard and hop in the kayaks to enjoy the peace and serenity nature has to offer.

What makes this property unique

We tried to provide all the special touches in the home that will make you feel welcome and want to return. From the comfy furniture, multiple spaces to gather and be social and the access to multiple bathrooms from each bedroom, we believe it's a great combination of space for you and yours.
