Recently remodeled room. Very nice and clean. Greate location. You are staying in your own small cottage, only issue is that in the unit we stayed in is when the sun sets and hits the single pane windows, the place gets VERY HOT in the summer. AC had a hard time keeping the unit cold.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful location. Lovely landscaping, good view, very comfortable, clean cottages. Beds were great, shower was awesome, kitchen was functional, parking adequate, fridge was spacious and the gas stove worked well. Check in and check out was super easy; staff responded to messages in a reasonable time. The game room was fun and there was a microwave in there, although I would prefer that each cottage had it's own microwave. Excellent value, convenient to stores, restaurants, waterfront, etc. I hope to visit again!

I stayed at Marina Bay Cottage for my birthday with my girlfriend, and we had an amazing experience. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was beautiful and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and celebrate. Everything was well maintained, and we had everything we needed for a great stay. There was honestly nothing to complain about. The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely love to come back in the future. Highly recommend Marina Bay Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Great place to stay! Love that we had our own cottage. #11, had its own living room, separate bedroom and kitchen, great deck overlooking the property. Everything is updated and clean. Kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots and pans, silverware, coffee maker, nice size refrigerator and stove. Enjoyed the community room, a lot of fun games there. Close to the bay and a bunch of great restaurants. Very quiet at night. Will definitely come back next year!

The cottage was lovely. The grounds were also nice but could use some attention. The self check in was great, although I tried calling/emailing to confirm ahead of our stay, and I never heard back. Could be because I didn't book directly with Marina Bay Cottages. Overall, very nice, and I would stay again.

What a cute place! We stayed one night in #13. The property was beautifully kept and easy to find. We only needed to stay for one night, but we will definitely have to come stay here again. Very quaint the way it was all set up inside. Saw plenty of Robbin’s and other birds on the property as well as rabbits. Quiet area. If we had anything negative to say, then it would be the tv remote in our room had the volume on high and we could not adjust it. Also, there were no charging ports, but I always travels with a few blocks luckily.

Four adults stayed in 19, part of a concrete duplex with one BR. Others were single wood or stone cottages, some with porches. The cottage and grounds were very clean, quiet and relaxing. We heard nothing from 20, and nobody was playing radios, etc. We never saw staff but somebody is maintaining this very well. Convertible couch was OK - you might like it better with a cardboard underneath to even out the bar or maybe bring a blow up. Shower was good and hot. Kitchen had the basics, except no microwave. The pots were nonstick but worn in case you are concerned about PFAS. AC in the LR was cold but easy to open the windows at night for cool quiet sea air. Grounds have swings, a bolo toss game, a single frisbee golf hoop, and horseshoe pit h but I could not find the horseshoes. Game room is also very clean with fridge, Microwave, ping pong, pool (cue sticks missing felt ends!), TV, fans, foosball, ball toss game. Sidewalk across the street leads down to Niantic marinas, charter boats, restaurants, boat launch. I wish there was a place to rent a kayak for the quiet harbor. Walk about half mile across the bridge and circle underneath for the beach and boardwalk. Walk about a mile on the bridge for great pastries at Sift - opens at 7.
