Great location right on the beach and park / boardwalk nearby so great for walking. The house had lots of sleeping options, something for everyone! Was wonderful to fall asleep listening to the gentle waves, took me right back to my childhood memories of our beach cottage. Would book again for sure.

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsThe Breakaway - a waterfront gem.
The Breakaway is an absolute treasure. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were struck by the stunning ocean views and the cozy, welcoming vibe of the house. It’s clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. We loved spending our mornings sipping coffee on the deck, watching the waves roll in, and our evenings catching the sunset – it’s pure tranquility. Ray, the host, was fantastic—super responsive and thoughtful. You can tell he’s really put care into making sure guests feel at home. The location is perfect, just steps from a quiet beach and close to great local spots for food and fun. Whether you want to explore or just chill out and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, this place is ideal. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

My family and I (and our dogs) had a great stay at Sean’s place! The home is beautiful and walking distance to the beach. We appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Sean was responsive and addressed any concerns quickly. Would definitely stay here again!

We booked Chase's home SUPER last minute and Mary was incredibly accommodating in getting us right in. We couldn't have been happier with the home, location, or hosts. It was the perfect long weekend getaway for our 4 adults and two kids under 2. It seemed like almost a new home, everything in pristine condition and very tasteful decor. We like the lazy susan they had on the dining table so much we ordered one for our home! Just an awesome experience all around! Thanks Mary! Top tip: IF you want to walk out to Charles Island at low tide you actually need to arrive to the crossing point 30 minutes or BEFORE low tide. We trekked out there with the kids AT low tide and were instructed by the local life guards that it was already too late to cross as there wouldn't be enough time to get to the island and back. No biggie and it was still VERY cool to be out in the ocean on a narrow strip of sand. Also, we found Jimmy's Apizza to be great pizza when you inevitably order out.

I recently stayed at a stunning beach home for a bachelor party weekend, and it exceeded all expectations. The beautiful beaches just steps away provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and fun. The decor of the house was stylish and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere for our group. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience with everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable getaway!

Our group had a fantastic time at Jude’s house in Mattituck. We had young kids who loved the pool (large and heated). We also enjoyed the location, which was in a quiet neighborhood but in very close proximity to restaurants and the beach. A great experience and hope to be back!

My family had an incredibly relaxing vacation at this beautiful property. It's even better than the pictures portray. There are many areas to relax in and outside the home and its extremely easy to hop on 95 and get to any of activities you're looking to do. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking to have a relaxing time away with the option to enjoy all the activities the CT shoreline has to offer.

This place was AWESOME! We made a last minute call for a Long Beach weekend and we were so glad we found this space. The neighbors were so nice, the beach was an easy walk and we lost count of the number is Osprey we saw. We swam, we ate in and out, we took out our Paddle boards, played games and sat out of the deck watching the stars. Well equipped and spotless… we already want to come back next summer!!!

This place was unassuming on the outside but the inside was very cool and classy! Beautiful furnishings and decorations. The beds were comfortable for our family. The location was steps from the beach and the weather was spring like in October so we took early morning walks every day! We had an issue with the heat the first day and lights the second day but Mike was incredibly responsive and got them fixed quickly. It was easy to get to New Haven by car each day and there was a parking spot right outside the house. Definitely recommend this place for a family staying in the area. Thank you Mike!
Home in Guilford
5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsCharming 2BR Beach House Overlooking the Water
Do yourself a favor and book this charming cottage if it is available. We came into this weekend needing peace and relaxation and that is exactly what we got. Guilford is an adorable town and we enjoyed exploring it, but honestly, it was the house that was the highlight of our stay. We decided to just stay “home” our last two days and enjoyed the beach area, the fire pit and grilling area and the amazing sunrises every morning on the water. Marie made sure that we felt right at home and the house had every single thing we could possibly need for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place.

The bar has been raised! We have stayed in many Airbnbs over the years but this one is by far the best place. The house is bright, walking distance to the beach in a very quiet neighborhood. The backyard is perfect for gatherings with a wonderful fire pit. More importantly, everything you could think about was available: shampoo, extra blankets, extra pillows, spices, plenty of cooking utensils, multiple coffee makers… and the list goes on. This place will definitely be in our radar during our next trip to CT.

Home in Branford
5 out of 5 average rating, 31 reviewsThe Eagle- Private Beach
Beautiful place! The house was exactly as described, and having the beach across the street was very nice. My mother and I were visiting Guilford and this was a short ride away. We did briefly go into downtown Branford for breakfast (picked the place from the host's recommendations) and it was a very cute area. This didn't bother me, but just as an FYI for prospective visitors, the cottage has been updated but it is still an older house; walls are thin, things creak, and the shower water pressure is so-so. The character is well worth it though! Also I don't think the welcome instructions mentioned where to park, which temporarily confused us because there are six labeled spots, but The Eagle is what's mentioned inside so we parked there without problems. The house was clean and had lots of helpful amenities, like snacks! It was a quiet, cozy stay and I really appreciated the host's friendliness and quick response. I've already thought about potentially coming back next year.
