New Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"In general a nice hotel, affordable, clean, and friendly staff. Would stay again."

Short Beach Coastal Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This is our third year staying at this cottage and it's continues to be the highlight of our summer each year. Cat and Ken are perfect hosts. The cottage is a delightfully calm and quiet escape. It's decorated in neutral tones and beautifully appointed with everything needed for a relaxing time away. The living room couches are perfect for lounging and enjoying the morning light or evening shadows. Comfy beds and a kitchen that's a delight to cook in. And, it's all just a few doors down from a small, private beach."

Charming Brand New Apartment with AC in vibrant New Haven-Near Tweed Airport

"The home I rented was very beautiful, clean, comfortable. The host always responded when I messaged in which was great! A lot of restaurants near by. The experience was very amazing and I will do it all over again!Thank you"

Spacious Modern Beach House, perfect for families

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for our family vacation with 2 toddlers."

Luxury New Haven Retreat • Private Pool, Gym, Cinema • Near Yale & Beaches

8/10 Good

"The property was nice inside as the pictured showed. The stairs are steep. A few things need updates like the sliding glass doors to the pool and mud room. The pool is great, large, and clean. The backyard area beyond the pool is not well maintained with lots of weeds and critters back there. The property is immediately next door to a small airport, so it is noisy when planes are and coming and going. There is not too much to do in the area. The Atlantic ocean beach was a bit of a drive especially with traffic. Overall, a nice house and a great pool. The hosts were very responsive during the stay."

Cozy Home near private beach , close to New Haven area colleges Hospitals

8/10 Good

"Nice place for a couple days to take a break from the city. The bottle of wine with plenty of chocolate treats were a pleasant welcoming gift. The queen size bed was comfortable, and the AC kept the place nice and cool. The winding staircase leading to the bedroom though was a bit of a challenging surprise--especially if you needed to visit the bathroom on the ground floor during the night. It was also very pleasant to have morning breakfast on the porch. The only downsize to that was the traffic whooshing past on the double, yellow-lined road that bordered the house. Otherwise, it was a very pleasant stay."
