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 there are nearby beaches 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 work/vacation combo.
