Beware: No air-conditioning or de-humidifier
My husband and I are active renters, all over the world. Typically, our stays are typically for four or more weeks. In sum, the house itself is a #1; the location is a #5.
On the plus side, the location, town center and beach/park within a tiny walk are wonderful. Sitting in the rental's adirondack chairs reading a book while looking out on the sound was sublime. We'd certainly come back to Branford, but find a better house.
So what's not right about the house? First, there is not one closet to hang clothes. The owner set up a rack (not shown on pictures). Because of the house's steamy poor ventilation during our July/August stay, we had to rewash all clothes when we got home. The drawers barely open on the very warped dressers, so our suitcases were used to store clothing. One wall (not pictured) in the first floor bathroom is built into a rock, so the room "sweats" so frequent mopping is required. A few nights we had to sleep elsewhere because we couldn't take the excessive heat. The house would benefit from editing down the furniture and tchotchkes for space considerations, granted some may like the charm of it. The pictures do imply a larger living space.
This could be a wonderful spot in the Spring and Fall for short term rentals. As said, the town is special and has more restaurants to offer than say nearby Clinton. New Haven is close, the train system can get you to NYC without much of a hassle. For the daily rate, this house should be more.
