The Bay Cottage · Rocky Neck Park, Beach & Niantic

10/10 Excellent
"The home was very cute and welcoming. Linens were very clean and comfortable. Excellent supply of towels for every room. One thing to note is that the beds are on the firm side, so keep that in mind if you are a squishy bed person. Super easy to check in. Only 20 minutes from Mohegan and about 5 minutes from prime Ninatic dining and shopping. We would definitely stay again!"

10/10 Excellent
"What a wonderful home in a great community. We enjoyed short walks to both nearby beaches. Concerts on the beach. Ice cream. A few visits to the fun Niantic Children’s museum. Met very nice locals at the beach and on walks. I can see why people like to live here. Great meals at 374 and Fat Tuba. And awesome lunch at the Mexican. Fun farmers market. Hotness very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay in this great place. Really loved that it is not as crowded as the cape which is ridiculous. Left the book barn with loads of books. It was a great week on a spacious home that met all our needs. Thank you."

"My family and I had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very spacious and kid friendly for our four children. My daughters especially loved the collection of books and card games that were provided. John was a very responsive host and helped us with any questions that we had. We loved the two minute walk to the playground and short drive to the beach. We also enjoyed the drive into Niantic and checking out the boardwalk and local stores and restaurants.
