We had an excellent stay at this amazing location! We biked around the gorgeous seaside neighborhood, kayaked, relaxed in the pool and hot tub, as well as at the private beach, and even caught a fish from the rocks! Overall an excellent stay at a prime location provided by very thoughtful hosts. Would definitely recommend!

We are sorry that the weather did not cooperate with you during your stay.
We look forward to hosting you again perhaps during the summer months when all the great summer month activities are available.
Such a cute place in a perfect location. Would love to visit again in warmer months to be able to use all the amenities. Check-in/out processes were very easy. Even though we didn’t physically meet the hosts, they communicated quickly. The snacks were a bonus!!
My husband and I had a wonderful time at this idyllic cottage on the water in Branford. Great location and hosts. Beautiful community for long walks, restaurants nearby. Highly recommend!
We were looking for a nice relaxing weekend getaway from NYC and happened to find this listing. The check in process was easy, and the owners were lovely! We'd absolutely book again.

Glad to know you were pleased with your stay. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Lisbeth and Adam were just the friendliest hosts that we've ever experienced! Everything we needed we had or asked for and gotten. They even left snacks, breakfast foods and drinks to start us off! Home is very cozy although small. But adequate for me and hubby! We stayed for a week and just mostly relaxed! Just to mention there are steps to get into the home. Both pictures were taken from the deck.at the house. Best places for dinner were the Dockside Seafood and Grill restaurant and Jalapeño Heaven. We also did the Thimble Island Tour..it was beautiful!! We swam in the pool 2 days and used the swings....AWESOME TRIP!! Would definitely go there again!!
Great little property and the owners provided nice touches to make your stay feel “extra”. We loved the area and interactions with the locals. Would stay again!

Thank you for a great stay!
