    Wonderful apartment and a gracious host. The place was super clean, and we were welcomed with homemade chocolate chip cookies, a bottle of wine, and lots of thoughtful travel essentials, which came in handy since we had forgotten a few items.The location is excellent, with easy beach access, and we walked miles every day.The only caution is that there was some late-night car noise on Friday and Sunday, which may bother very light sleepers. Saturday night was quiet, but it was also raining heavily. The host did provide a box fan, and I left an extra fan as well, which may help future guests.Overall, we had a glorious stay and really appreciated the host’s thoughtfulness.

    Our host provided everything that we could possibly need and then some. The rental is big! We had room to spread out. The sunrises and sunsets at the end of the road were a bonus!

    I couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The host thought of every little detail to make the experience seamless and enjoyable. The apartment was spotless, cozy, and incredibly accommodating. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed. I’m already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend!

    This was by far the most comfortable, easy, VRBO I have ever booked. The house is beautiful! It is so close to the beach. The neighborhood is absolutely lovely. The hosts were incredibly gracious and friendly. We were given welcome cookies, wine, and water. It was just an overall amazing experience. I am planning on staying with them again!

    Very funky, some of the furniture is very dated and worn. Great location but overpriced for the low season. 2nd floor unit upstairs. Needs some remodeling to make it nicer

    I love a fully stocked home. Where the kitchen offers tea and coffee. Plus the left over spices and oils from other guests. Plenty of linens and paper products. Forgot a toiletries there was an entire basket to make selections from. Tins of games for kids of all ages. The space was larger than expected. Only issue was that we came in at night and i was looking for a huge tree in the front of the house which since then has been cut and replaced with lovely roses

    Very clean, cozy, and amazing location! We stayed with our 2 and 3 year old, so the playground and the beach being only a block away was great! So many thoughtful extras throughout this property, with the hosts readily available to answer any questions! 10/10!

    The owner, Dana, has thought of and provided everything. We were in town for a wedding. Our son was a groomsman and traveled from California. We wanted to stay close to the wedding venue. We appreciated every little extra provided: the welcome bottle of wine, soft drinks, coffee pods for the coffee maker. It was actually warm out and the a/c was appreciated. The house is located from a small but pristine town beach and beautiful seaside park. We loved our daily walks!

    Last weekend trip of summer before dropping off daughter at college. Very clean and comfortable apartment. Great location. Walk to beach. Quick drive into New Haven for pizza crawl. Really appreciated the cookies, wine, snacks, and cold drinks in the fridge on arrival.

    My husband and I visited Branford with our two small children (3&4). The apartment was a fantastic home base. It was convenient to everything, especially the beach, and we really appreciated all the little touches- a toy basket for kids, cookies and other treats, cold water in the fridge and ample toys. We couldn’t have been happier!
