Beautiful home
Overall the house was great. The beds were so so comfortable and the house has everything you need to cook and grill. Unfortunately weather wasn’t ideal but we still got to enjoy the hot tub and at least check out the private beach. The beach is across the street and it’s not too bad, just a lot of sharp shells so I’d rec wearing some sandals to and on the beach! The house is a lot bigger than we realized and beautiful views all around. Owner was great and responsive. The master was awesome and the jet tib and shower were awesome

The bird watching was wonderful with beautiful views of a marsh
We loved our stay here. The views were like watching a wonderful panorama of life on the sea with marsh views and sail boats moving from different windows. The seating was comfortable with lots of places to sit and talk with old friends and the kitchen worked very well. All and all it was a great time. One suggestion, provide shore bird books to identify all the different birds to be seen. Also a plus the central air conditioning was effective at keeping everyone comfortable throughout the house.

Beautiful Branford
This beautiful home overlooking the sound and harbor fostered a wonderful time spent with family. There is so much beauty in the views, the wildlife, the water, all the beautifully designed and kept landscapes and gardens throughout the surrounding area… And many great restaurants nearby, along with the oceanfront country club and private beach.

Beautiful water views for family vacation
Gorgeous home overlooking the marsh with short walk to very small private beach with water access. Spacious, beautifully decorated home with four bedrooms. Everything is meticulously clean, kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking, and there are comfortable open concept seating areas. Deck was particularly enjoyed with a serene marsh setting and was great for viewing wildlife. Only drawback is that some of the outdoor photos are dated and do not include the large building being constructed right next door. The construction noise every day did detract from our relaxation. Understand owner is not responsible for neighbor's construction, but updated photos and a heads up would have been appreciated. The deck was our favorite feature of the house with its breathtaking marsh and water views.

Wonderful waterfront stay
Our family had a truly wonderful long weekend. The house was everything advertised and more. We were hoping for a few days of water views and the views were fabulous and manifold. Lots of classy comfort throughout the home as well. Carol was as good a communicator and supportive owner as one could ask for. Would stay there again!

Pretty nice house, not exactly beachfront, but a lovely house nonetheless. Good space for entertaining 10 adults. A lot of bugs so tiki torches would be a good addition. Would certainly return.

Perfect!!
My family stayed here while in town for my son's graduation from Yale, and we could not have asked for a better experience. The home is absolutely beautiful, with amazing views from every window. We found it easy to drive back and forth from New Haven for events, and enjoyed having such a peaceful and scenic respite from the hectic graduation festivities. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped, and we were able to cook some memorable family dinners. Carol was wonderful to work with and made the whole process very easy. I only hope we have the opportunity to come back someday!

Perfect break by the water in Branford
An idyllic setting on the mouth of the Branford River, this beach home is meticulously kept and well stocked for visitors (just bring food!). A private beach adjacent to the home is the perfect launch point for water activities or just relaxing in a beach chair, and affords the best view in town of the annual fireworks display. Back on the deck is a hot tub with an amazing view of LI Sound, Branford River and surrounding wetlands. Carol the property manager is attentive and very responsive with lots of local knowledge. New visitors shouldn’t miss having a meal (or two) at the legendary Lenny’s Indian Head Inn just a short drive away. Also highly recommend a visit to the Thimble Islands via tour boat or water taxi from nearby Stoney Creek (Outer Island is a nature reserve and the perfect spot for a seaside picnic). The icing on the cake of a perfect week was access to the Owenego Inn, including its lifeguard attended beach and Friday evening festivities.

Girls weekend
Absolutely perfect! This was my first experience renting a VRBO property and I was not sure what to expect. The reviews were helpful so I wanted to return the favor. Carol's home is just that...a home. It doesn't feel like someone's rental property. It is beautifully furnished and very well stocked with everything you could possibly need (and then some) The beds, pillows and linens were very comfortable and good quality. Carol was very responsive answering my questions in advance of our booking and with one small question during the stay. Otherwise, everything was clear from the listing materials and as pictured and described on the site. The one thing that can be hard to convey is the beautiful views from every room. There are lovely view of the Long Island sound from one side of the home and entirely different harbor views on the other side. On the first floor you can look out at both side and feel surrounded by the water. We marveled at all of the interesting marine birds both out the windows and on walks around the lovely neighborhood. One of the nicest things that I can say about the comfort of the home is that the weather was not cooperative, yet we were so happy in our surroundings, we barely left and had the most wonderful time! We would definitely rent this property again.

Buyer beware owner unreasonable with no compassion
The beach is not attached to the property it is down the street. View from deck is of a marsh...the pictures are deceiving. 4 days prior to check-in, 2 out of 4 couples had significant health issues they were just recently diagnosed with. Two had a recent cancer diagnosis so couldn't travel, 2 people tested + for covid and another had a death in the family. The months of Nov and Dec were totally available on owner's calendar yet owner refused to switch to another weekend. Owner lied to us and told us that VRBO told her she couldn't refund or change to another weekend. VRBO urged her to give us another weekend or refund but the owner refused. Half of our party wasn't able to go and the ones that did had to leave a day early. Owner was slow to respond to our emails about this as well. Kitchen was not gourmet and slightly outdated but functional. Visitors are asked to wash sheets and linens at end of stay as well as take trash out. Because of the owner's lack of compassion and the fact that our dear friends who needed this weekend the most were unable to attend there was a dark cloud over us during our stay.

Fantastic stay!
We had a truly fantastic experience staying at this property and would love to stay there again. The house is great, even better than the pictures, and the property includes a private stretch of sand right on the water that we loved. Carol was a super responsive and helpful host. We traveled with an infant and with the baby equipment there and the blackout shades in the main bedroom, we were very happy that we could keep him on his sleep schedule.

Beautiful home. Great location with fantastic views from every window. We especially enjoyed the private beach and hot tub. This vacation was very sentimental as our family has many happy childhood memories of summers spent in Indian Neck.

Perfect for a relaxing getaway and close to New Haven
This property gave us everything we were looking for. If we didn't leave the house it would have been a great vacation. Views of the sunrise and sunset each day, great views, a beautiful neighborhood to walk around. We also got to watch some Osprey and an Eagle feeding on fish. House has everything you could ask for, we didn't need to bring anything. If we ever wanted to visit New Haven area again this would be our place to stay.
