Wedding Weekend

Our family stayed at this lovely home for our daughter's wedding weekend. Everything was perfect! The home was clean, comfortable and well stocked with all the comforts of home. They even had bowls for our pups! The neighborhood was quiet and the yard was perfect for young kids that want to play outside. We highly recommend!

:(

Too many things wrong about this house to list. From the bee infestation on the deck, to the musty smell throughout the house and moldy window air conditioners. Kids got lots of mosquito bites at night due to temp windows being open from tape being old and not sticking anymore. Non working fridge and owners brought a mini fridge but too small because we brought a lot of food with us and had to even throw food out. Owners pretty much responded quickly but things weren’t resolved during our stay. Was also blamed for a hole in the wall that we didn’t do.

perfect location to Niantic and Coast Guard Academy

Host was responsive to request about Air Conditioning and a coffee pot that decided to stop functioning (they understood my need for coffee!) Awesome set up with games, yard and a deep freeze?! We stayed for my daughter’s graduation from the Coast Guard Academy and wedding 2 days later! we could walk to Niantic if not on a tight schedule and the drive to academy was perfect about 12 minutes. My college age boys enjoyed the game basement. Fantastic site!

Comfortable and fun

This house was perfect for our short family getaway, comfortable, clean, specious and fun! The kids loved the arcade room and we all spend time together playing many of the board games. The beds were comfortable, there was lots of space to relax, both inside and in the yard. Kitchen had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short drive to stores and restaurants. Thank you!

Great Homecoming Weekend

The house was exactly everything we wanted and needed for Homecoming weekend at USCGA. The location of the house was convenient for everything we needed and my husband and son had a great time hanging out and playing old-school video games on our first night there. The amenities of the house were great and there was more than enough room for friends and family to hang out.
