Captain's Cottage was developed in the 1890's by the Crescent Beach Land Company as a summer get away. It has evolved over the years, and now features a large, eat-in gourmet kitchen, a Bose surround sound home theater, a dining/gaming room, and a laptop station. There is an oversized two-car garage, a master suite with jetted shower, an upper deck with a hot tub, a pool/trophy room with an eight foot Connelly pool table, and a home fitness center, including a universal machine, a treadmill, and free weights. Captain's Cottage is ideally located just 66 steps away from the finest beach for miles around. Crescent Beach is meticulously manicured every morning at the crack of dawn. It features a raft, a lifeguard, and 'The Stand', serving breakfast and lunch daily. There is an area for launching small boats, three of which are included on your rental. And it's all an easy walk to downtown Niantic having all the ammenities of a classic New England beach town: clam shacks, ice cream and coffee shops, antiques, gift shops, movie theater, pizza parlors and watering holes. With a nod to the iconic Caribbean rum shack, Captain's Cottage is uniquely suited for entertaining. There is a large gas grill on the tropically themed front porch that any Parrothead would be proud of, and the dining/game room opens to the front porch thru the wet bar. Captain's Cottage comes fully equipped with small boats, bicycles, and all the gear your family will need to get the most from your stay at the beach! Keywords: family, beach, New England
