Very well equipped house for our small family vacation. Peaceful, quiet setting with great beach access. The beach amenities were excellent: playground, pool, splash pad, arcade, kids Ferris wheel and merry-go-round. Plenty of towels, blankets, kitchen equipment. The deck and patio were great for eating and relaxing. Very pleased with stay.

We had a great time staying at this property! There was plenty of space for our family and a beautiful view to enjoy. It is also a short walk to Ocean Beach Park.

This rental was beautiful, relaxing and had a beautiful view. Our only regret was not having enough time to spend in the house.

This was an off-season rental and we were looking for a quiet spot, convenient to restaurants and other amenities, on the water. This property fit the bill perfectly. The house was as advertised, could comfortably accommodate more than the three of us, and the ducks and geese on Alewife Cove provided all the entertainment we needed! Special shout out for the owner/manager. Communication was super timely and helpful!

This has been by far one of our best little get aways that we've had! Beautiful spacious, clean home. There were plenty of towels, blankets, and kitchen items. I could've spent the entire day sitting in the living area appreciating the peaceful views. From watching the sun rise and set to looking at the moon light glistening on the water, It was such a relaxing time with no worries! Thank you Utopia for adding another one of your amazing homes to our list! Can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer!

Great view, clean, private, relaxing, spacious, quiet and great location. We had a great weekend getaway, walking at the beach, relaxing in the salt cave in Niantic, a trip to the Foxwoods and a show at the Garde Arts Center. Plenty of great restaurants around. Nick was very prompt replying to my questions and was a gracious host. My 86 yr old Mom enjoyed her stay. It's one level living and that made it easy for her. I took the west wing and she took the east wing of the house, LOL. Thank you Nick!

As someone who has three vacation rentals, I was shocked by the quality of this property. We had 4 guests booked, so they only provided 4 blankets. Luckily, my husband was in a car accident and couldn't join us, as my mother was cold and needed two blankets. There were no washcloths or hand towels. Even though it saya it sleeps 12, there were only two coffee cups and no wine glasses. There is zero curb appeal to the property, and kinda influences you not to want to enter. The backyard has a nice view but renters cannot use the dock (we allow this at our rental in Oregon). Access to the water is fenced off and you have to leave the property and walk across the bridge to the other side of the river if you want to access the water. You can't open windows, the doors had no screens, very difficult to get fresh air. Other than being clean, very disappointing. We actually left and stayed at the casino. After paying a lot of money to stay here.

We truly enjoyed our end-of-June stay at the house on Alewife Cove.
There was an issue the moment we arrived; the property manager resolved it quickly, fairly, and professionally.
The house is very comfortable with two nice outdoor spaces, a rear porch and a rear patio. We spent many hours enjoying the mild temps and low humidity.
The house overlooks Alewife Cove, which feeds out to the ocean. It was fun to watch the tide come and go; we saw egrets, ducks, geese, striped bass, crabs, and even a groundhog.
Beautiful sunsets in late June colored the sky red, orange, and pink. The late afternoon sun pours through the large picture windows in the living room; this heated the room to almost 80 degrees one day. I recommend the management team put up curtains or blinds, it would probably help with your energy bill since the AC had to run constantly during the late afternoon.
The kitchen had a great selection of pots and pans. The dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and toaster are all of recent vintage. The lack of an exhaust fan over the cooktop was an issue one morning when frying bacon briefly set off the smoke alarm.
We brought a small charcoal grill and enjoyed some epic meals. If you drink wine or cocktails bring some of your own glassware since the selection is very limited at the house.
Two of the bedrooms are quite roomy, even with two queen beds. The third bedroom off the kitchen is smaller but functional.
Both bathrooms were top notch; good lighting, instant hot water, nice shower heads. Plenty of towels, linens, etc.
The washer and dryer in the basement were easy to use and worked well.
The house is well-situated for people visiting Ocean Beach Park. The sandy beach was quite nice on the Wednesday we visited and not too busy. While you can walk to the park in a matter of a few minutes, you may want to consider driving because the pricing structure is strange- flat $25 fee for parking and admission, no matter how many people in your vehicle. If you enter at the pedestrian gate, it is $10 per person.
Day trips to Watch Hill, Newport, Mystic, Block Island etc were fun!
Get "hot lobs" at Abbott's in Noank. Recovery Room down the street is affordable and good. This house is a beautiful base to explore a gorgeous part of New England.

Beach time-Cousin fun!
My sister’s family and mine had a beautiful stay. I highly recommend this house. The one and only downfall, was we rented during a heat wave and their AC could not keep up. The living area got to 84degrees in the afternoon, and my guests could not tolerate it. Extremely hot and uncomfortable from about 3pm-9pm. Would recommend owners to update AC unit to accommodate heat in the summer months.

We rented for our sons graduation from The Coast Guard Academy. The property was close to school and all of his fellow cadets had rented homes in the area. Because if the view and the privacy our home seemed to be the busiest. What a wonderful stay we had and would recommend this home to anyone who wants to be in the New London area. Waking up
To the expansive water view was a treat not to mention a short walk to the beach. We wish we were there longer! Home was clean and stocked with everything you could need!

Very good place!
This house and location were great for our family. It was a great house to just ‘hang out’ in - the large bay window overlooking the cove never lost its appeal as there were always great birds and boaters to watch. The deck with table was perfect for coffee in the morning. The house seemed larger in person than in the listing and the open kitchen/tv room/dining room layout was great. One bedroom is noticeably less ideal than the other 2, but it was fine.
It would have been helpful to have an ‘area guide’ with notes from the locals (like the difference in cost/logistics between driving vs walking to the beach, what restaurants to check out for takeout, what restaurants have outdoor seating, closest grocery stores, etc.), but obviously one can make do with the internet.
Being one block from the beach was really perfect. We were only there during the week, so it wasn’t crowded at all and we had a lovely visit.
We would definitely stay at this property again. Thanks for a nice visit!

Tranquility at its' Best
This home was a wonderful refuge for us. It is tucked away on a private side street. It was very clean. No worries with a 9 month old crawling around. The views of the water were just wonderful. Lots of different birds to watch and identify. The view was the best part for us to wind down and recharge ourselves. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. It was very quiet. The bathrooms are gorgeous and new. The kitchen has plenty of counter space. If you plan on doing a lot of cooking for a large family you may find the pots and pan inventory a little limiting. Management was very responsive and took care of a minor issue immediately. We look forward to staying here again.

The home and view are absolutely spectacular! The nicest and cleanest rental property I have ever been to! The bathrooms are huge and amazing! The home was fully stocked with towels, shampoos, body soaps, AND fresh linens. The new kitchen was beautiful with the marble countertops. So stylish! There was plenty of new silverware utensils, new cooking items, and new baking sheets to serve a feast. I loved sitting in the coffee nook area, enjoying the sunsets on the river and watching the wildlife. Especially the ducks fishing for food. There were even swans too! Wifi worked very fast throughout the entire house. Very helpful and responsive hosts. Would definitely come back in the summer to enjoy the beach at Ocean Beach Park and even visit Mystic, which is only a 10 minute drive away! 5 star home and hospitality!!!

Invented for a family getaway
What we got was what we saw (online listing) and this place has a splendid view out over a tributary fed by the Atlantic. Very close to oceanfront, nice walks in many directions. The place is clean and has a fairly modern kitchen and bathrooms. Good open great room for family gatherings and gaming. Wish it had some shears or shades over the picture windows looking out on water though, sun gets quite piercing in the late afternoons. Just a suggestion to owners. Also note the baths are not inside the bedrooms but are adjacent and easily accessed. Very happy we visited this place, 5 stars.

Great view of the ducks, swans, and seagulls
The house was great. The view of the water is definitely something amazing to wake up to. The house was clean and as described. Except the kitchen. The kitchen utensils definitely need updating. The oven mitts were disgusting, and since we did a lot of cooking in the kitchen I cant say that I was pleased. The rest of the house was amazing. Getting there was a bit confusing. The entrance to the private road is almost undetectable especially at night. I would definitely return to this house in the summer months but only if the kitchen got a revamp.

Beautiful, tranquil property
We all loved the property from the moment we got there. The open living room layout is great and the view is stunning. Comfortable while also being modern.
Management was also very responsive and thorough with their instructions. Would love to come back some time in the summer!
