Our host provided everything that we could possibly need and then some. The rental is big! We had room to spread out. The sunrises and sunsets at the end of the road were a bonus!

Great place & location

It is about 100 yards from the beach/park and 1.5 miles from the town center. 10 minutes from New Haven. We had a lot of room with a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. Great overall location.

Perfect and quaint

We were only there for 2 nights, but it was perfect for what we needed…. The hosts thought of EVERYTHING you might need at your home away from home. Location is great. Steps to a quaint park and beach. Lovely little town and nice surrounding area. Thank you for letting us stay and we highly recommend it.

Very clean, cozy, and amazing location! We stayed with our 2 and 3 year old, so the playground and the beach being only a block away was great! So many thoughtful extras throughout this property, with the hosts readily available to answer any questions! 10/10!

Nice apartment in Branford

We really liked our stay, the beach is nearby, we would recommend visiting Yale University and the Thimble Islands. Branford is a nice little town with many historical houses. Dana was very welcoming and provided all these little things to feel at home. And we slept wonderful in the comfy beds.

Labor Day getaway

Last weekend trip of summer before dropping off daughter at college. Very clean and comfortable apartment. Great location. Walk to beach. Quick drive into New Haven for pizza crawl. Really appreciated the cookies, wine, snacks, and cold drinks in the fridge on arrival.

Awesome family friendly rental

My husband and I visited Branford with our two small children (3&4). The apartment was a fantastic home base. It was convenient to everything, especially the beach, and we really appreciated all the little touches- a toy basket for kids, cookies and other treats, cold water in the fridge and ample toys. We couldn’t have been happier!

Don’t pass this one up!

This was by far the most comfortable, easy, VRBO I have ever booked. The house is beautiful! It is so close to the beach. The neighborhood is absolutely lovely. The hosts were incredibly gracious and friendly. We were given welcome cookies, wine, and water. It was just an overall amazing experience. I am planning on staying with them again!

Great Stay

My husband and I, along with our 21-month- old had a great stay. Located a two-minute walk from a public beach, the house is the perfect size for we three. Everything was very clean and neat. We really appreciated the little extras we found but did not expect. Kid's dishes and a toy box

Funky and not what we expected

Very funky, some of the furniture is very dated and worn. Great location but overpriced for the low season. 2nd floor unit upstairs. Needs some remodeling to make it nicer
