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.

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.

Perfect location!
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.

Can’t beat the location
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.

Girls weekend
The property is lovely, location is beautiful although the backyard steps are deteriorating and could use some attention. Bedrooms are very comfortable the space was great for 11 of us ladies. The only problem we had was lack of mirrors when getting ready, could use more mirrors in the bedrooms perhaps. Parking is very tight! Lol
Great time and we do hope to be back!

Nice Getaway
My family returned to this property for a second year in a row for a quick 3-day change of scenery during school break. It is fully updated with spacious living and sleeping areas, and gorgeous water views out of most windows. (We opted to order in to take advantage of the views and comfortable seating.) Step out the back door onto the private beach or walk a couple houses in either direction for public beaches. The location is great...beaches, park, Niantic center and boardwalk are a short walk away. Local area has delicious restaurants, old-time candy/ice cream shop and great bakeries. Fun place to explore. Host is very responsive and house is as shown/described.

Terrific Niantic Home
Beautiful home on the water close to a park. We had a perfect Indian Summer weather weekend for a female cousins get together. The house was perfectly cleaned and had multiple spots to gather both in and outside. Comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy watching the water.
For any future renters, the neighbor on one side expressed her displeasure that we were there as we moved in. There were 8 of us- ages 60 on up and we were not rowdy. We assured her that we were legitimate renters.
A great house for a family vacation!

Perfect mid-week getaway to celebrate a milestone birthday
I rented this house because of the location and size. My soon to be 16 year old daughter didn’t want a sweet sixteen party, so instead, we rented this house for two nights right after school got out. The price was right and the house was perfect! The location is perfect - the girls enjoyed Crescent Beach, McCook park, walked to Tony’D’s for ice cream and walked back from town one afternoon. I worked from the house with the provided Wi-Fi and really enjoyed the view from the bar area in the house. I walked each morning enjoying the sidewalks in the area, through the park and the boardwalk. The house is set up with one bedroom (full-size bed) on the first floor and four bedrooms on the second floor. There was plenty of room for all the girls. It was a perfect place to celebrate and kick-off the summer. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed for the minor “cooking” we did. I would definitely rent again - even for a couple of nights in the winter. The view and location cannot be beat!

Great view. House needs deep cleaning.
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.
