The Dream Location for Your Perfect Vacation

The view is to die for, best I've seen on the CT. shoreline. My friends and I were disappointed at the size of the property as it says duplex but it's really one-half a house without the large deck pictured on one of the photos. It does have a small deck on the left to sit and watch the sunsets. The stairs to the second floor are very narrow and not good for elders and the large full bathroom is on the first floor separate from the 2 main bedrooms upstairs. There is a very small half bath upstairs. It could use some bureaus in 2 of the bedrooms instead of the under bed drawers which are hard to use for seniors and the queen beds could use some new mattresses which the owner has indicated he plans to buy. The beach is rocky as described but good swimming anyway. In spite of these suggestions we worked with the owner to solve problems and had a great time. We only didn't rate five stars to warn others of these issues. The area in the town and Branford is one of the best in CT. and my favorite for fabulous views, shoreline amenities, restaurants and activities.

It was great.

Nostalgic beach cottage is a great getaways, outdoor view is expansive.

Needed a short stay to connect with family. House was fine, but bed in master was very creaky and woke us up with every turn. Also, check-in instructions never mentioned the lock box or its location. Directions for check out mentioned not stepping the beds or putting everything in hamper. Clarification would have been helpful. Great location though.

What can I say. The pictures do the ocean views of this place no justice. This listing felt like home and was so well appointed. We felt no need to leave for anything but more supplies for creature comforts. Even though it rained two of the four days of our stay...we were so pleasantly suprised by the calming sound of the rain on the ocean and the cool breeze that drifted through the windows. Branford holds all the quaint peace a seaside town can possibly offer. We found it very difficult to leave.

beautiful quiet spot on the beach, great place to stay.

The cottage has the most wonderful views! We loved our stay!

It is my son's senior year at Yale and he is captain of the cheer team. We came up to watch the Harvard/Yale game. The cottage was a perfect place for us. It had great views for our morning coffee and afternoon wine. The host was super helpful and nice. I would highly recommend staying here.

We couldn't recommend this property enough. First off, the neighborhood is gorgeous, and the house itself was out of this world. The property in nestled right on the shore line, and the view from the side porch is as picturesque as can be. Beautiful sunsets on a clear night, and the stars are abundant once that sun dips below the horizon. The house was roomy, mind you, it was just my wife and I but still had plenty of room for another couple or two, but lets face it, with that yard and those views, there's really no need to be inside. Plenty of quality restaurants near by, however we did venture into New Haven which is only about a 25 min drive away. Totally worth it for the pizza, restaurants and nightlife. All in all, wonderful property, we cant wait to go back.

This home is in a quiet, relaxing private neighborhood. Perfect size home for a small family to enjoy. The beach is more the type to wade around and adventure on the rocks/play in the sand during low tide, not to lay out in the sun and swim in.
