    Loved everything about our stay. Catherine and Ken are perfect hosts and the cottage is thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed for our 2 week stay. Can't wait to come back next year!

    Catherine & Ken provided our family with a beautiful home away from home beach side retreat while celebrating our daughter’s graduation week! The home was beautifully appointed for travelers seeking comfort, thoughtfulness, and convenience as the priority. Our hosts provided us with the gift of time well spent minus any worries. We are truly grateful for our hosts. Notably, Cat has The Best Junk Drawer ever!!

    The house was very comfortable, updated, and clean. The location was convenient our son's home and the surrounding area. The street is quiet and located within walking distance to a local beach. Catherine and Ken, the owners, were very accommodating to a concern we had. We would definitely stay here again, if the opportunity arose, and we would positively recommend to others to stay at this home when visiting Branford.

    Our two-week stay at this Branford cottage was nothing short of perfection. Nestled near Long Island Sound, the location offers a short walk to the neighborhood beach and a serene atmosphere. The cottage itself is cozy and well-appointed, providing all the comforts of home. What truly sets this rental apart are the gracious hosts. Their warmth and attentiveness ensured we felt welcome throughout our stay. Their adorable dogs, Elsie and Cookie, added an extra layer of charm to the experience. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the Connecticut shoreline, this cottage is an ideal choice. We're already dreaming of our next visit!

    Really great to spend time in a beautiful place where I was lucky to grow up. Our cottage was like our home for 3 weeks and hosts nearby for any questions. Friends who came to visit also loved it. .

    The beach cottage was perfect for our family. We were in Connecticut for a graduation ceremony with family coming from 3 different states. We were only 10-15 min from the university, had access to many restaurants and were able to relax and spend time together in a cozy,very well furnished and beautifully decorated home. It’s a lovely area to stroll around and a short walk to the beach. We sincerely recommended staying here, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
