Top Short Beach Hotel Reviews

The Surfside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect and everything we wanted for a girls weekend away!"

Lordship Charmer HAS IT ALL! Comfortable stay, accessible, family friendly!

8/10 Good

"The home was very nice. Plenty of space for the two of us, in fact more than enough. It is within walking distance from a small market and more importantly to the Sound. There are a couple of restaurants on the water which are also a very short walk from the home. It also serves as a good jumping off point for the surrounding towns, including Milford. The proximity to the LI Ferry was also a big plus."

Milford beach cottage. Steps to beach.

10/10 Excellent

"Once again we had the most lovely time at Second Act, a place that has truly become a home away from home. We've visited so often that I actually had to explain to my son this year that we are just lucky enough to borrow this cozy home and it is not, in fact, ours :) The house is well-stocked and truly has everything you could need; from kitchen gadgets galore to all the beach toys and chairs and umbrellas, you really can pack light when you come visit Second Act. The house is spotless and clearly well-loved, and the back yard is truly an oasis. The beach is less than a five minute walk away and Walnut Beach Creamery is within walking distance if you're feeling up for a bit more of a walk (about 15 minutes). Couldn't recommend this home--or this host--more!"

Landing Furnished Apartments South End Stratford

8/10 Good

"Well-organized furnished studio apartment in a newish apartment complex, a bit nicer than the rest of the neighborhood. One negative is that it's on the ground floor facing a moderately busy street (some noise) with pedestrians right outside, and no curtains, only horizontal blinds so it feels a bit exposed. Less than half a mile up the street is a nice brewpub, but grocery shops are further."
