    This is a lovely, comfortable, and quiet property! The host is very communicative and personable! She responded right away to any questions that we had about the property. My family really enjoyed our stay, and we look forward to returning to explore the local area more!

    The house was not properly cleaned and appeared not to have been deep cleaned in quite some time. There was a significant amount of dust and dead bugs throughout the space. The bath towels were heavily stained, and the beds contained noticeable dog and human hair from previous guests. Additionally, the driveway was often blocked by parked cars and a van, making it difficult to enter or exit the property. There were also no kayaks available as advertised. On a positive note, the location was excellent — close to a beautiful beach and a lovely park. This property has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, the overall cleanliness and maintenance did not meet expectations, especially given the price.

    Property is in between main house and garage. Yard had old picnic table and chairs which should have been removed. Grill was charcoal grill. Kitchen small appliances looked old. Wouldnt use. Branford point is nice but geese are on the beach so u cant use.

    This was a perfect extended weekend getaway for our family and dog. The house had everything we needed and communication with the host was easy. The beach was extremely close with calm waters and beautiful views. My husband and son enjoyed fishing off the dock and rocks. We would love to come back again!

    The location was ideal and it was so nice to be so close to such a cute little beach!The house itself felt very homey, and the owner went out of her way to decorate things in such a cute way and provided anything you could possibly need!I would most definitely stay there again. I enjoyed it so much!

    House is in a great location. Nearby beach was great. . The pictures were generally accurate and the house was decent enough for a night or two. Owner was responsive/allowed for early check-in, as requested.However, some reasons for only 4 stars:1) being behind the main house with long/narrow driveway, it was a bit of a challenge with a large SUV.2) barely any overhead lights (very dark)3) again being older, definitely some signs of water damage in various areas4) air conditioning window units are very old (mold/smell)5) Disappointed that there were no kayaks anywhere to be found, even when we specifically asked about them.

    The carrage house is in the back of the lot behind the main house. Parking isn't ideal, but you're well off the road. Kitchen isn't great if you want to cook a fair amount but sufficent for breakfast/snacks. Furinture is what youd expect at a beachhouse, decent but cozy and nothing youd be concerned about ruining. The overall space is very nice and would retun.

    Started with Kristine greeting us as we drove in. Was accommodating to our requests and was very quick to reply to our few messages. Clothes dryer is very small. Short walk to a great park and beach.
