"Our stay was incredible! The property was gorgeous- even with the home owners on property we barely saw them. We had full, private access to the backyard space-
beach
, pool, hot tub, fire pit, etc- all to ourselves. The property was clean and inviting and we will definitely go back. Everyone was so friendly and the area is picturesque. "

Beachside Branford- walk to Beach, Grill

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (6)
"Just returned from my trip. The cottage was adorable and clean, well stocked and the owners were available if I needed them. The
beach
was a short walk up the road, but I was disappointed that the
beach
is all sectioned off with private beaches. The
beach
at the end of the road was the width of the one way road the cottage was on. I assumed that was for anyone on the side road where the cottage sits. Not sure how it is at busy times, but at least nobody was on the
beach
and it was peaceful -...

The sweetest private
beach

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (10)
"We loved everything about this property and the neighborhood AND the neighbors! There was a wedding next door upon our arrival date and they invited us to partake in some of the festivities like the fresh oyster bar! It was straight out of a movie. Other than that night the neighborhood was calm and serene with a nearby
beach
we used to launch our kayak rental. The property manager Rich showed us around on the first day and was available for anything we needed. 5 bathrooms was an unexpected...
