This home is absolutely wonderful!!! My wife and I
rented this property for a week and my only regret
was that it couldn't have been for longer. We have
three children under 2 1/2 years of age and we did
not have to worry about anything. This house
comes fully equipped to handle several children of
all ages and it was incredibly nice not to have to
pack up our car with pack n' plays, high chairs, and
tons of other things that would have made our trip
much less enjoyable... everything is there waiting
for you (clean and in great condition)! We also
hosted a small family reunion of sorts and the
accommodations and location were perfect! This
place has it all; beautiful yard, private beach, tons
of equipment and fun activities for all! Despite
unfortunate circumstances for our trip, this home
helped make the entire experience as wonderful as
it could have been and I hope we can return soon.
Lastly, Paula is as wonderful as her property!
Having only spoke over the phone a few times, it is
no surprise to me that the home is so beautiful and
clean when such a classy, enthusiastic, and
extremely friendly and helpful person is in charge
of its care! Thank you Paula for such a remarkable
experience; I hope to talk again soon to arrange
another vacation! *****! |

| Home was clean, warm and inviting....large enough to accommodate our big family, and with every possible amenity one might think of to entertain a bunch of kids ranging from infancy to teens. Board games, videos, and books galore.....pool, ping pong, foosball, mini-pool....bicycles in every size, beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas....even infant toys and seats were all available. The kitchen was well stocked, and the laundry room made it a pleasure to pack for home without the dirty laundry of 7 kids!!! You don't need to pack much more than a toothbrush and a swimsuit - everything you might need is in this lovely home :-) We were lucky to have beautiful weather throughout our stay and thoroughly enjoyed the private Oak Grove beach as well as the nearby beach and playground, Mystic Seaport and Aquarium, Bishop's Orchards pick-your-own fruit and berries, and Ocean Beach Park. Highly recommend! |

A Scottish Review
Macnor Glasgow, Scotland
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
As holiday accommodation goes, this has got to be one of the best places we have ever stayed. The beach house we rented became our home from the moment we arrived, as thanks to the owners Paula and David, the information we recieved before our trip, all the way from Scotland, helped us quickly establish ourselves in our holiday home. Our host's advised that we have a good old nosey around the house to help us locate everything we might need for our holiday and we were amazed as they had thought of everything and we wanted for nothing. The house was warm and inviting, beautifuly furnished and very clean. The location was perfect for everyone in our party from our youngest at 7 years to oldest at 76 years young. To the front of the house we could see the ocean and to the back of the house the marsh with lots of wildlife and an Osprey nesting with it's young. We loved sitting out on the deck which was very spacious and the outdoor shower was fantastic.The kids loved the bikes, the kayaks, the pool table, the ping-pong table and every toy and game imaginable. For the ladies we loved the hugh kitchen, the piping hot water for showers and baths as well as the choice of books and videos to help us relax. For the men they enjoyed cooking on the barbeque and if truth be told they also enjoyed all the same things that the kids loved. Even with ten in our party the house always seemed to provide enough space for everyone to do their own thing. I would recommend this home to anyone who wants a little piece of paridise at the beach and who really can appreciate a host who has really thought of everything to make your holiday special. All they ask is that you enjoy their home and when you are done , put every thing back where you found it to enable the next guest to enjoy their holiday. Scotland is renowned for it's hospitality and Paula and David should be congratulated on the level of hospitality they provided their guests. If we visit this part of America again, this would be the home we would rent. Brilliant place, a real home from home at the beach.

Our family stayed here a few weeks ago. The house is wonderful and very clean! The owners think of everything you could possibly need. In addition, the house's close proximity to the beach, the toys and games and the big backyard are perfect for children. We had a great weeklong vacation!

Even though my husband and I live only 25 minutes away, we rented this home, to house my parents, my brother’s and nephew’s family as well as ourselves, for our daughter’s wedding weekend. It was closer to the wedding venue and worked out perfectly for all of our needs. We all felt at home and were able to enjoy each other’s company for the whole weekend, without the confines of hotel rooms.
The house is comfortable, well appointed and whether it was raining or sunny, we had plenty to keep us busy and were even able to have a small brunch, the morning after the wedding, for our out of state relatives and friends. We loved sitting out on the back deck overlooking the salt marsh or watching the sailboat races from the front porch or down at the beach.
The owners were accessible by phone and email and they have thought of everything you could possibly need or want. We would definitely recommend this home to rent. Absolutely wonderful.

I rented this home with a group of 12 friends for as
surprise birthday weekend for my Husband and it
turned out to be an amazing weekend!!! The house
is perfect, it is stocked with everything you need
and more. The first night we were there it was
raining, so we spent the whole time in the
basement playing pool, ping pong, and foosball. It
was a blast!
The beach is beautiful! And the back yard is great!
we spent all day saturday barbecuing on the deck
and enjoying a warm fire in the fire pit. It was
perfect and SO relaxing!
The house is very large and easily slept 12 adults.
And would be perfect for families. There are
childrens bikes, toys, cribs, ect. They really thought
of everything!! All you need to do is bring yourself
and food and you will have a great time, everything
else is there!!
I would recommend this home to everyone- in fact I
already have! |

Best vacation house ever!! There is not a thing this house is missing. You could sit on the front steps and see the water. Very large lot with great back yard.
House has nice flow and views. You don't need to bring anything for the kids, bikes, etc. Basement is like a game wonderland.
We will return often to this house.

Great house!! We have rented several other houses and found that this was the best house - by far! Extremely clean, well stocked and things for all ages to keep everyone entertained.

| We rented this house for one week in August. We have rented 3 other houses over the years and have enjoyed this one the most - by far! It was very clean and provided games and things to do for all ages. The beach was quiet and it was a very relaxing week for the adults and a busy, fun week for the kids. Great House! |

We had a wonderful time staying in Niantic. The house was beautiful, well-maintained, fully stocked with everything we needed and very convenient to the beach. The owner was extremely helpful and very organized with information available to the area. We would defnitely rent this home again and highly recommend to anyone interested.

We just left the house and had an absolutely fabulous week at the beach! The house was immaculate, very spacious and provided anything and everything you could possibly think of for the perfect family vacation! The kids loved the bunk beds, I enjoyed the books in the library (read one in one day!) and the beach was beautiful and very private. My husband was very excited about the fishing equipment, and we all enjoyed some fun games of pool in the basement. I can't say enough about this house - the street itself is full of beautiful homes but this house has a backyard for the kids. Thanks so much, Paula!

This home was absolutely immaculate! Everything was pristine and lovely, and very well organized. Everything that you need for a wonderful beach vacation is here, from beds to sleep 12, plus a nice crib, plus plenty to do if it rains all week, with a pool table, ping pong, and fooz ball. The kitchen was large and bright, bathrooms (2.5) clean and nice, and the beach a short 2-3 minute walk away. You can see the water from the front yard and a few front windows. We will be coming back!
