An absolute gem! This charming little house was the ideal spot for a relaxing beach weekend. It has that perfect New England coastal vibe—cozy, breezy, and full of character. The location couldn’t be better and the short walks to the beach were expecially great at night. Highly recommend, and hoping to be back soon!

This cottage in Branford was super cozy. The location was wonderful, we enjoyed walking to the beach and driving to different area locations. The home is a rustic beach house, that was perfect for us for this trip. The home doesn't have central air, it has three window A/C units, they work fine but they are loud, so if you are a light sleeper it may be tough for you. The neighborhood was adorable, safe and quiet, but the people we did talk to while walking around were so friendly. It has a really nice coastal beach vibe. I had a hard time figuring out the dryer but the host was super responsive to help me!
