The host of the little red cottage really thinks of everything. Anything you would need to enjoy your stay was there including beach chairs , beach buggy , beach toys etc. back yard was perfect including the outdoor shower. We ended up having to arrive late do to me needing emergency surgery and they were extremely understanding. I hope to be back again next summer! The beaches nearby are perfect!

No issues with booking, check-in or maintenance. This was a very nice cottage in an excellent location (quiet, close to the beaches, Niantic and New London) with plenty to do.
We won't hesitate to book it again the next time we're in the area.

This house had everything we needed. Outdoor games, firepit and grill. All the neighbors were nice. Beach was nice and quiet.

This was exactly what we needed, our kids loved the beach time and the surrounding areas have plenty to do. It’s just big enough for two under 10’s and two adults, the outdoor space makes it easy. We would go back!

We stayed here with our one and two and a half year old for three nights and it was a perfect getaway. Christina messaged us that the place would be ready one hour before planned, which was so helpful to getting settled and walking to the beach for our first evening. The cottage is excellent for a family - downstairs with pull out couch and plenty of room for a pack and play, and upstairs private area for reading and relaxing once the kids went down. We lived in the yard that was stocked with games and wildlife - a bunny stayed for our entire dinner out there. The outdoor shower was such a treat. Walkable to great beaches, short drive to sweet Niantic, which scratched the itch for a clam shack dinner and ice cream. Can’t wait to visit again!

Really cute updated cottage. I stayed with my friend. I slept in the comfy bed and she slept on the pull put softa bed. The shower was so nice. We took advantage of the beach tags and went to Pleasure Beach for one afternoon. We said we would stay here again.

We rented this cottage for my now husband and I the week of our wedding! It was so adorable and perfect for the two of us! Growing up in the area, I loved being in the Pleasure Beach neighborhood and near our families home while still having our own space. Christina was a great and communicative host and we loved all of the amenities and perfect location! Will rent again for sure!

This cottage was as charming as the posted pictures. Very spacious for 2 but can accommodate 4. Place was extremely clean and had a nice supply of kitchen items. Enjoyed views of the water from the porch swing, walks to Pleasure Beach and the outdoor fire pit. Especially enjoyed the fresh cut flowers from the property that were displayed throughout the cottage! Easy commute to USCG Academy (15 mins). Only recommendation, bring shower toiletries. Overall, it was a pleasure staying at this adorable cottage.

We are very pleased to have found this spot for an early fall getaway with our sons, ages 5 and 8. We found the cottage to be very charming, and we love that its unique character has been preserved to share with guests. Our two boys made good use of the large outdoor space, and we had Pleasure beach to ourselves for a morning of sandcastles and exploration (even though it was a bit too chilly for swimming!) It was clear that a lot of thought and care had been put into every detail of our stay, and we felt that we had everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent. A beautiful location - highly recommended!

Had a great stay here while visiting the area for our child’s college parents weekend. Was great to have a home away from home, convenient to New London and Mystic shops and restaurants. Was nice to walk to the beach. Highly recommend!

The property was perfect! Super clean and tidy!! We enjoyed the outdoor space, grilling and barbecuing. The front porch was delightful especially the swing. Pleasure beach was beautiful and we spent most afternoons there!
We did find it a bit small for the 3 of us adults, not much privacy per say!! But it served its purpose and we had great weather so we were outside more than in!!
Overall a wonderful stay!! Christina is a remarkable host!! Thanks ☮️❤️

This property is even better in person than the pics.
It’s like a dollhouse. It was spotless! Kitchen had all you could need.
Things outside to do and play. Huge yard!
Every pillow to every thing on the walls, was so nice! The ambience was thought through with every little detail!
AC worked great and cottage was nice and cool when we arrived. Much appreciated!
We had a storm the whole stay so unfortunately didn’t make it to the beach, but we enjoyed our stay still!
Owner’s communication was INSTANT! Much appreciated!
My only draw backs or comments would be:
-Beware if you are a large person, you may not fit up the stairs to bedroom.
-No side table next to bed, so no place to put drink/charger ect. But not much space their either.
-One side of the bed is against the wall, so person on that side hard to get out of bed.
-Mattress was not comfortable at all. We didn’t sleep well.
But this would not stop us from renting again for sure!

Everything you need for a relaxing time away——if you are able to do 125 year-old stairs. I love the property, but the staircase was a real problem for both of us, especially at night to get to the only bathroom, downstairs. exterior steps also. But—— is you are agile and able,this is a wonderful home for you & yours! Enjoy!!

Quaint cottage with nearby beach access! We enjoyed sitting outside each night with a glass of wine on the comfortable porch. The home is adorably decorated in a beach/nautical theme and is smartly-designed to maximize the square footage. Nice views of the beach from the upstairs bedroom. Very conveniently-located to Waterford, New London, Groton, and Mystic.

The little red cottage and Pleasure Beach are my new favorite home away from home.
The cottage is adorable, squeaky clean, comfy bed, GREAT location. Loved going to Pleasure Beach every day.
I spent many hours on the porch swing looking at the ocean. An added bonus was the deer who greeted us morning and evening.
Don't pass up this cottage!

My husband, almost-6-year-old, and I had a lovely few days at the Little Red Cottage. It was so easy to get to both Kiddie Beach to explore the sandbars & Pleasure Beach to spend the morning relaxing. The whole area was so scenic and filled with great finds for every meal of the day and of course plenty of delicious ice cream! The porch swing and breezes from the bay, the warm outdoor shower, and the passes to enjoy the private stretch of the beach really made this stay special. We hope to visit again.
