I absolutely loved this house. I cannot wait to stay here again. The location was perfect. Loved the furnishings and updated kitchen. We were also pleasantly surprised that the single bed was in its own room.

Our stay was very nice. The house was the perfect size for my 2 kids and I during our visit to CT. It was close enough to stores that it wasn’t difficult to obtain groceries while being far enough out of the way that we didn’t feel like we were in the city. You could see the beach from the porch and it was lovely. Dan and Kristine were exceptionally responsive. Would absolutely recommend this property or stay there again.

The house was perfect for our family. There were 3 adults and one child. We loved the furnishings and the kitchen. The house was stocked well with cookware, tea, oils, and spices. The only downside is you can't walk to the beach but there are beaches very close by.

Cute house in a great location
My husband and I were in Branford for a wedding and stayed at Dan’s house. The location was great, close to the wedding venue and the water. The house was clean and perfect for a couple or family.

Adorable house!
This place is terrific! Everything I needed was there—and then some more! Great location with the beach a block away; Lenny’s restaurant (the best seafood!) a 2-minute walk. Branford is a cute shoreline town, on I 95, so access to other sites is so convenient.

Family Reunion
As a suggestion, for two seniors, a bar in upstairs shower would have been very helpful. Also second floor bathroom door had no lock and would not stay closed. But enjoyed first floor amenities very much. Loved location.

Great rental!
This is an exceptional rental. It is as advertised. The house was spotless, and the kitchen was very well equipped. It’s rare to have full sets of flatware and plates/bowls/mugs. It’s close to a great seafood place (Lenny’s), and only a few houses away from the water. Be careful backing out of the driveway, because people speed around that corner by the water.
