Houses For Rent

We live in a beach community and many people rent their houses on a weekly or nightly basis.  A good place to check is www.vrbo.com
If you are looking online, check with us before you rent.  We’ll be able to tell if the house is close to our area and may be able to check it out before you rent it.  We live in Black Point Beach.  Other beaches nearby are Old Black Point, Attawan Beach, Crescent Beach and Oak Grove Beach.  All of these are within 5 minutes of our house and 15 minutes to the reception.  You may also find houses in Giant’s Neck.  The best houses are in Giant’s Neck Beach and not Giant’s Neck Heights.  This location is about 10 minutes from our house and 20 minutes to the reception. 
If your house requires cleaning before you leave, we can put you in touch with our cleaning lady if you like.

Hilltop Inn

239 Flanders Rd.
Hilltop Inn
Niantic, CT
(860)739-3951
15 minutes from our house, 15 minutes to the reception.  This hotel is located near I-95 at the outer edge of town.  There are a group of cheap hotels and motels there that people use when they come for the casinos.  This seems to be the nicest.  It is truly a budget hotel.  Clean, but tired.  One good thing is that they are within walking distance to Starbucks.
We have not reserved rooms yet, but will wait to see if there is any need.
$99 / Night (estimate)   Includes continental breakfast.
