This charming, light-filled and pet-friendly cottage is steps away from the neighborhood river beach with a designated swimming area and a gorgeous sunset view. The house has a lovely, south facing sunroom, with windows on three sides that is perfect for sipping morning coffee and evening cocktails. Open the windows to enjoy a fresh breeze off the water at end of the street. Two decks overlook a grassy yard and bird lovers will delight in the local songbirds that nest in the shrubs and trees. Just off the back deck is a ‘mini-beach’ with firepit!
A fully-equipped and renovated kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and oven is made for cooking and eating. For grill-lovers there is a gas grill next to the deck at the back of the garage, with a prep/serving table, and screened gazebo for enjoying the yard mosquito-free. Or, take a five minute drive to one of the local restaurants in Niantic for fresh seafood, Indian cuisine, sushi, pizza, bakery, local/organic food, pub fare, and a brewery.
There are two cottage-sized bedrooms upstairs (Double and King) and a small flexible room with TV and twin trundle bed. Both the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms have showers (tub upstairs) and there is a washer and dryer in the kitchen.
If you feel like staying inside, relax on the chaise with a good book or sprawl on the comfy couch and stream your guilty pleasure on the flat screen TV. If you are looking for outdoor adventure - swim, paddle, hike, or bike at one of the many nearby beaches, boat launches, and parks.
Included in your stay: Wi-Fi, linens, towels, soap, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer (upstairs cupboard) bug repellent, sunscreen, beach towels, beach bags, camp/beach chairs, household items, first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, and back up supplies (toothpaste/toothbrush, razors, shaving cream, deodorant, umbrella, etc.)
Not as crowded as Mystic and with many options for activities, the Cottage on Wood is a wonderful choice for your home-away-from-home summer vacation. Welcome!
