Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000
I grew up in Branford, CT and met my wife, who is from CA, here as well. We both love Branford and it's quaint New England charm. Combined with the seaside beauty this town has to offer we jumped at the chance to buy this property. It was the "ugly" house on the street when we acquired it in 2000. A very dated and structurally different ranch, my wife, who should have become an architect came up with a great design. By 2003 we transformed this ugly duckling into one of the most talked about homes on the street. Work has taken us to CA but we look forward to our trips back to CT to visit with family and friend and to stay in our lovely home on the east coast. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
Why the Owner Chose Branford
Branford is a wonderful New England town that has managed to attract some great restaurants, quality healthcare facilities and is convenient to almost everything while maintaining a quaint feel. Being right on the water is wonderful experience and each community within Branford has a feel of its own to appeal to everyone.
The Unique Benefits of this House
I enjoy looking out any window in the house and feeling like I am in a park. Very rarely does a car pass by but yet we are only a 2 minute drive to the market and a 5 minute stroll to the beach. Our sunroom overlooks our huge back yard where I can birdwatch or enjoy a warm fire while the snow falls.

An 80th Birthday and Then Some!

Review Submitted: 09/13/11
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were searching for the perfect site for my mom's 80th birthday party as well as a comfortable home for the week close to the beach, restaurants and area attractions. This house certainly fit the bill. The neighborhood was quiet yet close to all of the local restaurants. The lay out of the house is perfect for entertaining. The front and back yard was spacious and private. While close to everything Branford and Connecticut has to offer, we found ourselves relaxing at the house, playing games and cooking great meals in the well equipped kitchen. I made the mistake of bringing platters and miscellaneous kitchen items that were not needed since they had everything one could need to cook. Thank you Tony and Magie for a wonderful stay. We will be back!

We contacted the owners to arrange a weekend rental for my nephew's wedding in Branford. The owners were very easy to work with and they provided us with all the information about the house and a list of all of the amenities. We really enjoyed our stay. My brother and his wife and two children and my family stayed for the weekend. It was very clean and there was plenty of room and the house was well equipped. There was an hour in between the wedding and ceremony so we had other family members join us for cocktails. We were able to sit out on the back deck and enjoy the beautiful day while the kids played baseball in the private backyard. the house is located in a quiet residential area not far from town. I would highly recommend this rental!

Family gathering

We rented this property over Thanksgiving week for ourselves, our three grown children and their families. We were particularly attracted by the 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, and it suited our purposes perfectly. There is plenty of parking and the location was within 15 minutes of relatives who live in East Haven. While it wasn't really important to us, the stone beach is within easy walking distance. The WiFi internet connection was an important feature, since we had 3 or 4 laptops going all the time.

Great reunion place

The house was great...room for everyone; a place for the children to play inside and out; room to relax, but still be part of the group. The Master Suite is fantastic! The kitchen worked very well. It is large and the stove is to die for! Although the house is not on the beach, it is an easy walk to the water. The town is picturesque and restaurants are very good; a very nice area with lots to do and see.

Perfect New England getaway

Review Submitted: 10/16/10
We rented this home for a week in the fall and it was wonderful! For my partner and I it was a staycation because we live in the area. For a few family members and friends, it was a getaway and this home was large enough to comfortably accommodate everyone. The floorplan is so open, you never feel like you're on top of anyone and have plenty of space. But each room also feels cozy when everyone is in it. The master bedroom and bathroom are an absolute treat, they are so gorgeous. The kitchen was great for baking and making breakfast - it's big enough for multiple chefs and is open to the rest of the house so you don't feel like you're stuck in the kitchen. The house really is a quick 5 minute walk down to the water and it's a nice walk at that. The house does have some quirks but I think it gives it character (everyone loved the rodeo bathroom!) The home owners were very relaxed and made the whole process easy. I was wary about the idea of renting someone's home initially but definitely plan to use this site for future trips. Tony was very responsive throughout the week, as well as before and after. There's also plenty of essentials in the home so you don't have to worry about packing every little thing. Thank you so much for a great weekend. I could not have asked for a better experience.
