Classic Beach Property - Wonderful

Everyone in our group enjoyed this property. Owner was responsive to our questions. Private beach is very close, and very scenic! Two basement showers made beach-to-home transition very simple (especially nice for kids)! We spent much time enjoying the porch - it's a great feature. There are also great activities located within a short distance. We will keep this on our 'do it again' list!!

New London Ocean Beach

Our stay was wonderful! The host could not be more accommodating. The location was perfect, just a very short walk to either a private beach or Ocean Beach Park. We enjoyed eating breakfast of the lovely porch and being greeted by hummingbirds every morning. The house was lovely, typical of 1900's. Being so old, it had some idiosyncracies but they made for great stories! I am so happy we chose this rental for our family vacation.

Wonderful week

Great location, short walk to private beach. We met people from the neighborhood, who along with the owners made suggestions for dining, ice cream, activities which we really appreciated. The house was spacious and had practically everything we needed. The living room is very comfortable with plenty of seating, the dining room large and bright and we just loved the porch. Lots of furniture to eat outside or just sit and enjoy the breeze. Our grandkids loved looking for crabs and exploring the rock jetties on all the beaches.

Perfect location

This is a must stay home. It has the charm of a historical home with a gorgeous wrap around porch. It has some quirky attributes, but it just adds to the ambiance of the place. There is always a wonderful cross breeze. Located on the corner and a 5 minute walk to the public with added access to the private beaches. The owners were wonderful to work with. Quick to respond to messages and provided personal phone numbers to contact them for anything! They also provide extra beach necessities so that you don’t have to pack them in your travels. Already booked again for next year!

Unforgetable!

This home provided the perfect place for us to gather and celebrate our daughter’s USCGA commencement. Be ready for some New England charm! Indoor and outdoor seating was plentiful. The kitchen was well equipped for meal prep and serving a group. Beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows as needed. We all enjoyed neighborhood walks and trips to the beach. Jane was immediately responsive to all our questions. A week was not enough time to enjoy all that this home had to offer. We would definitely stay here again.

A Old Timey home on the Connecticut Shore

This is a very delightful place, with a wrap around porch which is perfect for long conversations. The living room is also wonderful for paying games, and having conversatons. The kitchen, while small, had everything we need to cook and clean. One thing to be aware of. The downstairs does not have curtains, so there is something of a fishbowl effect. All in all, we were very happy with the house, and the Neptune Beach neighborhood.

Glorious graduation weekend

We loved this home which we rented while attending my sons graduation weekend at Connecticut College. It is absolutely charming with spacious rooms, beautiful, woodwork, and tons of personality. The property was just as advertised, communication with the owners was top notch, and the house was spotless when we arrived. Though we spent much of our time over the weekend at the college, the time we spent at this home was lovely. We enjoyed gathering for breakfast on the large, wraparound deck, a couple of morning swims from the beautiful Neptune beaches a mere block from the property, and some short walks in the neighborhood. Altogether, a delightful stay!

Quaint Home a Block from the Beach

This VRBO experience was outstanding. Our communication with the property owners was superior. They answered all of our questions and helped us with additional information about the area (i.e., Restaurants, local attractions, bracelets to get into the private beaches, nearby, etc.). The home was immaculate. The wraparound porch with furnishings was absolutely the “cherry on top.” The home was furnished nicely, had games and beach items to play with, and all the amenities a home would need. The neighborhood was very nice, and the neighbors were extremely friendly. I highly recommend that anyone staying in the New London, Groton area for any occasion stay here.

Fabulous location

We had a great stay and spent most of our days at Ocean beach, which was an easy walk. The owners were very responsive, accommodating and helpful, even to the extent that they got us a new air conditioner when ours wasn’t working well. The porch was great for breakfast as it got a bit warm in the house with the summer heat. Overall a great stay at a lovely beach house.

Perfect location - pictures do not do it justice

What a lovely stay in Neptune Park! The photos do not do it justice - the inside is freshly painted and new furniture in the family room. This very spacious home has tons of character and everything you need to enjoy your time there. Jane was so responsive and we all had a wonderful time in this very special home. The kids loved the close access to Ocean Beach Park, but they also loved the rental beaches accessible through the rental. We are so happy we found this gem!

Graduation Weekend

This house was great for a weekend in May when our daughter was graduating from Connecticut College. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the full bath area in the basement makes the house much more functional for larger groups. On a big beach day, expect traffic around the house, but it's a block or two to the beach, which is really beautiful and provides access to Ocean Beach, or 4 smaller private beach areas to the East. The kitchen is best for dealing with largely prepared foods, although everything is there to cook simple meals. Supermarket close by, and plentiful take-out options as well.

Roomy and Casual

The cottage is an older home located very close to the beach. It is quirky - and a very casual type of place. The owners described it well, and we had all we needed for a weekend reunion. It is well worn, but comfortable. The tilting floors had been explained to us, but they did make us laught a bit as we navigated after a few adult bevarages!

Family beach weekend

We had a lovely stay for our beach weekend. The beach itself is quiet and pretty. The sand is pristine and we had some good waves for the kids to play in. We were not expecting the sloping floors on the porch and upstairs--the listing didn't mention them so it was a bit of a surprise. Everything was completely safe, though, and the house is charming and very close to the beach.

Girls’ Weekend

Brought my daughter, her three friends, and my mother-in-law for a mini girls’ getaway to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday and give the girls a chance to relax and regroup before beginning their senior year of nursing school. The communication with Jane is more than could ever be expected. She is responsive, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The house was perfect for our group. Lots of space to be all together and also spread out for some quiet time. The front porch is wonderful! The proximity to the beach was exactly what we needed and we enjoyed several walks there and through the beautiful neighborhoods. Delicious lunch at Captain Scott’s and a fun dinner dinner on the pier at The City Dock - the bartender there may have been one of the friendliest people I have ever met! We spent a fabulous day in Mystic - visited the aquarium and shopped at Old Mistick Village. Really, could not have loved our time there any more than we did!

Charming New England Beach House

This is a spacious home with lots of character. Crooked floors and cozy basement added to the charm. We had plenty of space to relax, lots to do, and easy access to public and private beaches. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen was adequately equipped. We loved hanging out on the full porch, where there was always a pleasant breeze. We took full advantage of the supplied washer and dryer, beach chairs, gas grill, and games. We had to deal with a couple of maintenance issues, but the owners were easy to reach and helpful. Highly recommended!!

a charming house with a lot of character

you step back in time to the early 20th century in this house with its dark wood panelling and ceilings and its wraparound porch. It's furnished very simply like an old-fashioned beach house. The floors on the porch and some of the rooms slope considerably which was odd, but they appeared to be solid. The owners are very pleasant and eager to be helpful. The beach is just a block and a half away and the neighborhood has a lot of character.
