A wonderful home and great location

We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage. The entire experience was very smooth, from pre-check in to getting there and even offers to help with anything we needed in our stayThe cottage is very cozy and well-cared for. The rooms are comfortable and the Internet fast. There is a lot to do in the area, with New Haven nearby and many good restaurants.

Cute little house

Cute little house, and great for a little weekend away. It is not obvious from the listing, but it is located on a busy road, and the beach is across the street. The owner was great to work with and the house was very clean and comfortable.

Comfortable Summer Cottage for year round use

My husband and I stayed in this lovely home for a long weekend while attending the Soundside music festival. It was perfect for what we were looking for; comfortable beds, equipped kitchen and nice location. We had the entire private beach to ourselves. The owners were also quick to respond to all questions.

The perfect weekend, getaway with friends

our annual girls (5) trip took us to Branford, CT this year. It was awesome to have a private beach access even though we couldn’t get in the water, but it was great for strolls and shell collecting. Would definitely do better with a second bathroom, but we managed just fine. Overall, it’s a nice little place to stay for a getaway. My only issue is not with the hosts or place, but with one of the fees and the checkout process. However, it does not take away from our stay.

Easy access to the beach

Thanks, Elizabeth and Bob for our stay at your house! We loved the location in beautiful Branford and enjoyed the easy access to the beach. Bob was extremely responsive, making check-in seamless. It was great to have four separate bedrooms, each equipped with comfortable bedding. It's worth noting that the bedrooms are each separated by only a thin sheet of board through which sound and light escape, meaning there's little privacy. The house has few frills; for example, the hand soap in both the kitchen and bathroom was extremely watered down. But if you're looking for a basic place to stay near the beach, this fits the bill.

Great Family Getaway

We had a great time visiting with family that lived in the area. Location is great, very close to area restaurants. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved the porch for relaxing in the evenings and the short walk to small private beach.

A Great Getaway

We were looking for a place to visit during this summer of COVID. We wanted to avoid crowds but enjoy some time at the beach. During the week, the beach had very few people. The house was very close to the beach. We had four adults and one child. There was plenty of room. We had a great stay!

Lovely home

This home was perfect for our needs. We grew up in Branford and we’re back to visit family. It was nice to be so close with a little room to spread out. We took our 2 young grandchildren with us and we’re so grateful for the gates for the stairs! Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was comfortable. Parking was tight but owner makes that clear up front so wasn’t a problem for us. We look forward to staying again in the future!

Such a cute home!!

We really enjoyed our 4 days in Branford. Everyone was so friendly. Enjoyed lobster at Lenny’s and the guacamole at Guacamole’s was excellent!! The town is very nice. We also went to the Branford Art Center and chatted with Yvonne. And don’t miss The Rock Garden gift shop. And cappuccino and caprese at Pasta Cosi wonderful. The vrbo owner Liz was a text away if we needed anything. The beds were soooo comfortable. Liz added so many little touches, we felt very pampered. Hope to come back some day!!

We were hoping to enjoy sunsets on the porch. Unfortunately, the patio furniture was less than comfortable and clean. Cushions were dirty and torn, only 2 chairs around the table had cushions. The property has great potential, it is in need of a spring cleaning. Hair on the beds, mold in the washing machine, front porch needs to be hosed off and the shrub around the porch tended.

Great location for a getaway

Our family loved the house--it was the perfect "homebase" for our day trips to New York City and Boston. The beach access was lovely for short walks on the beach and one traditional spring break dip in the ocean for two of our daughters (way too cold to swim--or for most of us to even put a foot in). Our girls found the beds very comfortable; they're on the softer side for us, but they were cozy and rooms are well appointed. There were plenty of towels for our family of five to shower and dry off after that ocean dip. The kitchen had a lot of pans and dishes for a cottage, though some simple seasonings and bags or wrap for leftovers would be a nice touch. Communication with the property managers was great. They were informative, responsive, clear, and friendly. If we're back in the area, we'd be happy to stay again.

Didn’t want to leave!

We didn’t want to leave after our week stay… so we didn’t! Bob didn’t have his place available but we found another because this area is magic, we loved it. Bobs place was perfect, checked all the boxes and more! Park on the right side of house on the gravel part of that driveway. Your rear view mirror should almost touch the house, just enough space for person to get out carefully. The paved part is for neighbors to come and go.It was totally fine to unload and then park tighter. We made friends, had a blast and slept so so well. Thank you Bob!!!!
