I grew up spending summers in the East Haven/Branford area. As an adult my husband and I started renting cottages in the area. We have stayed in many different sized houses but this year it was just the two of us. It was a welcome break after a year of covid. Neil’s cottage fit us perfectly. We fell in love with it. The cottage is cute and quirky. Nicely decorated. Comfortable beds and the kitchen had all we needed. Perfect location close to Lenny’s restaurant and Bud’s for fish or his crab spread which I highly recommend. The porch is a perfect spot for eating or just sitting. The day bed was my favorite lounging spot. The neighborhood people were very friendly and most importantly the beach is steps away. We hope to return again and again. Thx Neil!
One of the best shore spots on the Ct. Sound -great for young and older for water fun including a row over to Clam Island to scout for sea glass. As an artist I found lots of inspiration for future paintings. Cottage well equipped. Friendly neighbor-hood. Thankyou Neil for sharing your cottaged.
This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at Neil’s cottage. It is such a lovely, relaxing spot, just steps from a private beach, and the cottage is decorated with so many beautiful little touches. Everything is very comfortable. Neil is such a welcoming and helpful host!! We can’t wait to stay again next summer!
My sister and I along with our husbands just spent a week in the beach cottage. Everything was perfect. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach. We were able to kayak right across the street from the cottage. The neighborhood was lovely with several restaurants close by. We will definitely return next year. Thanks!
This charming cottage is just lovely. So comfortable. It is truly steps from the sea. Equipped with a kayak, beach chairs and a paddle board, you have just what you need to enjoy life on the LI sound. The best part by far is the sun drenched porch with beautiful breezes coming in from the water. Neil is great to work with and stands at the ready to be of help!
My family and I stayed at Neils cottage for 3 weeks. I can't say enough about this place. The whole experience was nothing short of amazing. From the second we walked in the door, memories of a lifetime began. Neil was extremely accommodating, the neighborhood was perfect and the people all made us feel welcomed. We can't wait to come back! Thank you Neil for sharing your beautiful home. It was exactly what my family needed and I can't think of any better place then Summer Island Road.
Quaint seasonal cottage with conveniences of Home. Nice and clean, walking distance to 2 small beaches. Biking fun to do too since neighborhood is fairly level and has pretty views.
Neil's cottage was great, he was quite welcoming. We had fun on the front porch, visiting with family, and playing cards. cottage had loads of nice beach towels, that really came in handy, would love to stay at this property again. Great new restaurants close by, especially The Stand, great food and vibe, The one thing we wished for, was to recycle glass, cans etc, anyway, great vacation spot!
We found this cottage on accident when another rental of ours fell through prior to us landing for a week long vacation. We knew nothing of the area, very little about the property, but were super excited to see something still available that would fit our family of 5. Upon arrival, and still very skeptical of if we really would have a place to stay, we were absolutley blown away with. Neils home is precious, and is in my opinion, an absolute perfect beach cottage. The closeness to the water, cool breeze on the front patio, and very welcoming neighbors truly made our stay perfect! The house is well stocked, super cute, and rustic in a very good way. It maintains its original charm and we are super thankful that everything worked the way it did for us. Neil, thank you again for a perfect stay, and let all of your neighbors know, their favorite family from Denver, will be back very soon!
