Find Places to Stay in Branford on Airbnb

Great stay. Only good things to say, this little house is perfectly laid out, was very clean and comfortable. I loved that it had everything we could want (from spices to puzzles, piles of towels..). Terry answered all my questions immediately. The kitchen has everything you could want to cook big meals. The place is better than the pictures even, the master bedroom is huge and lovely. Jacuzzi tub was great fun. Short walk to a lovely beach. Lenny's restaurant practically across the road. Only glitch is that I had a bit of a struggle getting the key to work a couple of times, but Terry was really helpful. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

Easy walk to the beach, close to town and places to eat. Quiet neighborhood. House was super clean and looks just like the pictures. Loads of extras. Super quick response from the owner when I had a question. Great stay.

After using Airbnb for our vacations overseas, we rented Teresa's house to give us extra space for family visiting for the holidays. She was very responsive, check-in was easy, and the house was clean and convenient. It was just what we needed. As a Branford resident, I'm sure it would prove to be a great spot for a summer holiday.

This is a lovely, comfortable, very clean home close to the beach. The master bedroom is huge with lots of closet and dresser space. The bathroom has tons of extra towels and extra toiletries. That is so appreciated. The kitchen has spices and condiments so you don’t have to spend money buying these. We were here in late November so didn’t do any beach activities but we really enjoyed having coffee and breakfasts by the green along the Main Street of Branford. We would definitely stay here again.

Very cute place, great location and Teresa was very accommodating. Highly recommended.

Great place. We stayed there many times and will do it again.

Super easy check-in and out. Quick responses. Sparkling clean. Great stay!

Cute home, well appointed, a short walk to the beach and several restaurants and cocktail bars. The host is easy to reach, although not necessary since all I needed was there. Enjoyed our stay!

This is a peaceful serene space. Loved being right on the water. Small, but thoughtfully designed. Had a wonderful experience.

Loved staying here! Its in a gorgeous location with beautiful views. The house is lovely, spacious, clean and very welcoming and comfy. I didn't have a car, so was limited to the three venues open for food/drink (the fourth was closed for the season) - which were only a three min walk away and great! There is a liquor store too, but no convenience store/local store for snack/groceries. So make sure you take what you need with you (otherwise be prepared to take a cab). Would stay again!

A great space! Clean, cozy, beautiful water views! Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away and the suggestions from the hosts and other guests for outings, places to visit, etc!

Rachel was an excellent host. She was prompt with her responses and the place exceeded expectations. Everything was clean, and as perfect as the photos. Will definitely be coming back in the warmer weather

Loved this cozy cottage by the water! Views were outstanding - I took a ton of pictures! Perfect size for the two of us. We caught a great live band down the road at The Stand & delicious steamers for dinner at Lennys- also right down the road from the cottage. Was really a lovely stay!

A very tranquil little chic summer home for a perfect quiet romantic getaway.

Amazing stay. Loved everything about it. Great host. Rachel was very attentive and responsive. The place is very lovely, cozy and spotless. I would love to come back again. Marked as another of my favorite stays.

What a clean, cozy cottage with amazing views! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back in warmer weather.

Great spot!! Very close to New Haven but feels a world away. Clean and private in a separate wing of the house, and perfect size for two people. Great views out the window and Kit was a fantastic host. Would definitely visit again!

My favorite part was the view and finding a path to stand by the lake.

Awesome place to be!

Great space with big windows, beautiful property. The big draw of this place is if you’ll be spending some time on the farm itself vs just using it as a bed to sleep in. We got some great recommendations from Kit about local pizza spots, dog walks, and interesting bars to visit. Our dog met his first donkey :) Check in was super easy and we felt right at home immediately. Thank you Kit & Charles for a great stay!

We stayed with Kit on our way down from MA to NJ. She was nice enough to accommodate our late arrival and met us at the door to show us around. The room was spacious and clean—exactly what we (and our dog) needed for an overnight! Thanks Kit!

Excellent and beautiful, restful place

Very comfortable with a beautiful view, like staying in a loft with great amenities and wi-fi. Very clean and cozy. Kit was easy to talk to and we appreciated the pretty surroundings. Happy travels!

We had a great time at Kit’s house. Our kid loved the donkeys and our dogs loved running around the property. Plus Kit was just fabulous, would happily stay with her again!

A cozy cottage located in a lovely area of Branford. The hosts were very accomdating. The house was clean. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need, and the fridge even had a few staples. The location was convenient to everything we needed. Close to several restaurants (within walking distance ) and a short drive to grocery store, movies, restaurants and more. We'll definitely be back!

Joel is a great host and the home was perfect for our stay

The cottage was true to its description on the rental website. It is a warm, cozy space, that is well disposed for an enjoyable small group stay. Each of its 3 social spaces, living room, dining room and kitchen are comfortably furnished and make smart use of what, as accurately reflected in the rental information, is a cozy space. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are entirely functional and comfortable. Net, we were fully satisfied with the accommodations offered. The location is also very convenient for a number of enjoyable activities: a leisurely walk along the Farm River State Park trails, a walk along the small but attractive little beaches in the area, easy drives to New Haven, Branford, Guilford, etc. The owner, Joel, was very cordial and helpful and entirely available and happy to help with any need that arose. He also made all of our transactions easy and straightforward. Net, a comfortable space for a small group of 3-5 people, a good location in coastal CT and a very easy going and cordial owner all made for a most enjoyable stay during Thanksgiving week for my 2 daughters, son-in-law and myself. Thank you, Joel!

Super cute house! Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a three day weekend at this cozy, quaint cottage. The updates were nice as they kept the vintage feeling of the house intact. The owners thoguht of everything including fresh cream for the provided coffee pods! The location was a perfect, easy commute for us to visit our family member at Yale. We were sad to miss sitting out on the inviting front/side porch but this trip, the weather turned out to be too cold and windy to enjoy them so we tucked inside in front of the flickering, warm electric fireplace. Joel was an attentive host and we couldn't ask for a better first time stay in Branford!!! Thank you for sharing your home! Jo & Mom

We loved staying here!! Joel was so friendly and communicated quickly, even checking in with a call to see how our stay was. This was the perfect place to come home to after a long day of exploring. It had everything we needed; extra shampoo, body wash, and other bathroom amenities, coffee, creamer, plenty of extra blankets and pillows, they even had wine waiting for us on the table when we got there to welcome us! We loved that they have a little gated area so we could let our dog in and out with ease. My husband loved going for a run by the water, and the home is super close to great outdoor spots!! Thanks again for letting us stay in your beautiful home, it was exactly what we were hoping for and more!

Joel and Joanne were great and treated me as an old friend. This location was super convenient for me with easy access to 95 south and north which really helped. I was by myself but can sleep several people for families looking for a nice location.

Expect tranquility and relaxation.

For anyone looking for a cozy space in a wonderful location, this place is for you. The studio is well appointed and the kitchen is well stocked with equipment. Communication was easy and the check-in process was great. It's close to all the great attractions that Branford has to offer.

What a charming and comfortable little place. Perfect for one or two people. Located on a nice quite street, close to the beach and easy access to the interstate. Would highly recommend!

Lisa and Cindy's place is adorable, clean and walking distance to the beach. They thought of everything to make my stay comfortable. It is situated in a safe and friendly, beach-y neighborhood. Close proximity to downtown Branford and easy access to the highway for driving into New Haven which is only about a 15 minute drive. I highly reccomend Granite Bay Get Away! I'm looking forward to returning in the summer.

A beautiful place with wonderful winter walks through wetlands and around the coast. Lisa is friendly and helpful. We hope to go back.

This is a wonderful place to stay if you would like to be around the New Haven area. The hosts are very welcoming and were helpful with anything we needed while staying. The home is clean and cozy.

Great hospitality! We look forward to returning :).

Nice place

Great location great hostesses. Immaculate

My husband and I had a great stay at “The Retreat”. Patrick and Karen were wonderful hosts. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean with many extra touches. Pine Orchard is a beautiful area and there are many hiking trails nearby. We would definitely like to come back!

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a get away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life. This Branford home rests in a quiet community which is great if you are looking for peace and relaxation. The home itself is magnificent and is really cozy. Inside you will find everything you need to make you feel like your home away from home. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, pots, pans and utensils which can be used to prepare meals. The host even went out of his way to provide us with milk, bread and eggs. The bathroom comes with fresh towels and has body wash and shampoo already, so no need to pack your own. The bedroom comes with thick blankets and also has extra blankets in case one is feeling a little cold in the night. If you need to get dressed up for the night out, the house has an iron and board available to press out any wrinkles. The location is great, just a minute walk and you will find yourself on the waterfront. A short car ride away there are a bunch of great restaurants. One of them is a Mexican restaurant called Guacamole’s . A little further out a great Italian restaurant called Rosso Vino. If uncertain of where to go, the host provides some tips of where to go and what to do in Branford. Overall this place is wonderful and highly recommend to anyone looking for some rest and relaxation. 5/5 stars.

Patrick is a great host. We booked extremely last minute, and he was very accommodating and responsive. The home is beautiful and immaculately clean. The location with beach access is perfect.

Immaculately clean. Great location. Great communication with host.

The accommodations are very comfortable and welcoming as well as sparkling clean All of the amenities made my stay perfect while visiting family over the holiday A huge plus was the ability to have my dog w me. Their dog Bertha is a happy and friendly playmate. Thank you for a great stay!

This was one of my favorite Airbnb experiences to date. Karen and Patrick were incredibly helpful and responsive. Their space was lovely and clean and filled with thoughtful touches and local tips/information. There were even thoughtful touches for our dog left in the Airbnb for us. 10/10 would recommend staying here — and hope I’ll have an excuse to come again!!

Stayed at Patrick's while visiting relatives for Thanksgiving. It's a lovely place, well appointed and clean, bright and sunny too. Everything one could want while traveling is provided - umbrellas, beach towels, etc. and an extraordinarily nice kitchen! We hope to be back. (Oh yes, and there was this one really comfy pillow on the bed I greatly appreciated.)

This has to be one of Branford's best kept secrets. Fabulous hosts who thought of absolutely everything from umbrellas by the door to terry robes in the closet. Clearly they are used to four star hotel elegance and sought to provide it! Far more spacious than we anticipated. A gorgeous seaside neighborhood. Everything surpassed expectation!

Meaghan's Farmhouse is wonderful! There were 5 of us there for a family reunion - and there was PLENTY of room! A large kitchen, large living room, a TV room, a dining room, and a powder room/laundry room. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The living room was large enough that we were able to set up a card table for an ongoing puzzle (we took a table and 4 chairs). The rustic dining table was plenty big for us with room to spare. Bedrooms were quaint, and I know that at least the 2 twin beds had cozy flannel sheets! (Thank you for them, Meaghan!) We discovered a wonderful hiking area - that has well marked trails. It's Branford Supply Pond Park/Bird Sanctuary at 100 Short Rocks Road. By the end of our visit, we ALL agreed that we'd love to come back to Meaghan's Farmhouse again. I'm hoping to make it an annual tradition. Location is great - only about 5 minutes from Interstate 95. Can't beat that! Also - I have to say that Meaghan responds extrememly quickly! usually within 10 or 15 minutes. MOST Impressive!! - and comforting! Thank you, Meaghan, for opening up your home for our gathering!

We continue to stay at this home over and over again (we are there 2x a year for work). Our team loves the house. It’s convenient, sparkling clean, and truly comfortable. We will continue to stay here every time we visit!!!

Stayed for two weeks and loved it! It's so cute and homey, and very close to main st. and the highway. Great kitchen for cooking. Host was great and helped me find an item I left behind. Thank you!!! Will stay again.

We stay every winter for our Yule Ball charity event. The house is always sparkling clean and comfortable. It feels like coming home. Check in is a breeze and the house is close to everywhere we need to be.

This home was perfect for our needs and we had a wonderful time. The kitchen is very new and well-appointed with plenty of dishes, glassware, pots/pans, etc. The rest of the house is older and we found it very charming and comfortable. Having 3 bathrooms was a wonderful bonus. The space is perfect for 4 people and 1-2 children in the room with the trundle beds. We had 6 adults which worked out fine, but 4 is probably the best. I would definitely recommend this to future travelers.

Charming home that we were able to spread out in. Great location for a Yale game

Warm and cosy house with historic touch! Sparkling clean, comfortable beds and amazing kitchen amenities. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. Caring and thoughtful host. We had a wonderful experience! Thank you, Meaghan!

The Airbnb was so unique and charming. We made a ton of memories we will cherish forever. Truly enjoyed every minute.

I stayed at Julia's for five weeks and it was a home away from home. Julia is an exemplary host, who really meant it when she said, "Make yourself at home." I strongly recommend her place to anyone looking for somewhere for an extended stay in New Haven. Her house is within easy reach of Downtown, even if you don't have a car: buses run fairly regularly from outside her house or a ten-minute walk away at the top of the street. Her kitchen is really well-equipped, and completely at your disposal, so catering for yourself is totally feasible (key tip: the nearest supermarkets are just a single bus ride away, either Elm City Market in Downtown or the Stop & Shop off Whalley Avenue (for the more budget option)). I really appreciated how Julia encouraged me to make full use of the place: whether cooking in the kitchen, working at the dining room table, reading or watching tv in the living room, or using the downstairs bathroom. The room I stayed in is at the back of the house, overlooking the yard, and is nice and quiet; virtually no traffic noise and perfectly private.

Julia and Peter are the best hosts one can ask for! They were extremely generous and friendly and staying at their beautiful house was simply great. You will find everything you need, the room is nice, the bed very comfortable, the kitchen kitchen equipped with all you might need and if you fancy a walk by the sea, that is just minutes away.

What a beautiful home! The house may be older, but the interior is very well designed and decorated. The downstairs bathroom is so fun. The host is very responsive and friendly. I would definitely stay here again. The two cats are extremely well-behaved.

A great place to stay for visiting prospective students. I will look for a room here if I have to visit again.

Wonderful hosts! I stayed here for a month and they went above and beyond what I expected to make me feel at home. Courteous, kind, welcoming. Beautifully decorated. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in the new haven area.

I loved my stay at Julia’s house so much and I was very warm welcomed. Everything was perfect prepared, communication was pretty friendly / uncomplicated and I got very detailed check-in instructions. The room is so lovely & comfortable and the bed is so snuggly that you don’t want to get up ;-) Highly recommended to stay there to feel like home. Thanks a lot!

Julia's home is lovely! My friend and I stayed for a night to attend a wedding in nearby Branford. In a rush to get ready for the wedding, we so appreciated how helpful Peter was in getting us the iron and hair dryer we needed! We felt very welcomed and had everything we needed.

Great place to stay. Easy communication, clean and has everything you need. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Peggy's place was delightful. My husband and I had a getaway trip to New Haven & Branford area and it felt like a home away from home. We will come back and recommend it!

Warm hosts, beautiful view. Nice room.

I had such a sweet stay at Peggys; so enjoyed the friendly & fun hospitality. Just looking at the beautiful view of the water was good food for my city-weariness. Highly recommended!

Wonderful place to stay! The hosts were so friendly and the place was great! Slept so well on the comfortable bed. Great location for a charming get away. Highly recommend!

Watched the sun rise from bed this morning. Very special. Peggy and Greg had some great tips which we did and it was perfect x

Beautiful home and location! Peggy and her husband were so hospitable and kind. My boyfriend and I were greeted with a cool pitcher of water and the next morning we were served coffee in the most beautiful ceramic mugs. In the morning I was in awe being able to watch the sunrise over the ocean from where I laid in bed, I totally recommend leaving the blinds open if you don't mind waking up early. It was absolutely stunning. The neighborhood is quiet and right on the ocean. Walking around was so serene and calming. Some of the streets have benches that look out on the ocean too! All in all, I had a wonderful time. Communicating with Peggy was easy and she is quick to reply. I plan on staying here again next time I come to New Haven!

Beautiful picture window view of the water made it all worthwhile!

Peggy and Greg are great hosts. Very friendly and laid back. They gave us excellent suggestions for restaurants and places to visit in the area. The room was clean and comfortable with an amazing view! There's a lot to do close by, but its very tempting to never leave because the beach is right across the street, and the neighborhood is so quiet and friendly.

Awesome stay. Clean and comfortable.

The house is in a small, safe neighborhood that is walking distance to convenience stores and only a short drive away from New Haven. The room and amenities are exactly as described in the listing and are a great value for any solo traveler passing through Connecticut / visiting Yale.

Awesome host!!

A Very clean home in a good neighborhood Parking on premises is a plus The mattress is very comfortable The linens are very clean It is very quiet at nighttime Al and Elsa are very helpful

The apartment and the room were neat and clean, and the location is great. It’s very convenient to stay there during a visit to Yale or New Haven area. Strongly recommended!

Enjoyable experience, highly recommend

Nice place to stay near academia... room was organized and tidy ...!

We originally went to the wrong 95 Main St but got in touch with Elsa who told us the correct intersection. The hosts were absolutely lovely and the home was beautiful! They had a great continental breakfast included and offer to drive people back and forth to New Haven for a small fee. Would thoroughly recommend staying at Elsa and Alvaro's!

Great spot! Perfect cozy place if you’re coming to the area. Parking is a bit tight, but we had small cars so it was no problem. Loved walking on the beach!

Loved the place! Beds were super comfy and place was clean. Great location. Will stay here again when we visit.

Great house! Would definitely come back

Elizabeth and her husband were exceptional hosts and everything about this stay was perfect.

Amazing home right by the water !

We had a terrific stay here. It was clean, neat, and had all the amenities we could want, even a fireplace. Great access to the beach and walking distance to town. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit. Thank you Elizabeth and Bob for a memorable experience!

We loved our stay by the beach! The house is so cute and the place was really comfortable. Coming with a big group, we did notice that the walls were pretty thin, and there wasn’t a lot of privacy, but it’s perfect for a close family or friends! Thanks again for the beautiful stay, we adored Branford.

Elizabeth's place was lovely. So many thoughtful touches, and the beach was beautiful. The house is eclectic and fun with plenty to do. We especially loved having coffee by the fireplace.

We had a lovely weekend at Elena’s place with our two kids (4 and 6). It’s a cozy house with an amazing view. Watching the sun rise over the water each morning was a great way to start the day. Kids enjoyed walking down the the little cove/beach. We spent the days discovering the local area and the late afternoons/evenings at the house looking at the view. Had everything we needed.

What a beautiful home! We will be back :)

Elena's lovely house is perfect for a quiet, serene getaway. We keep coming back as often as we can - this is our happy place.

Cute place with beautiful views of Branford Harbor! Clean, nice touches, and a friendly host. May plan on staying again in the summer!

... Wonderful Home, wonderful host !

Elenas cove cottage was lovely! The home was very comfortable, private, and such a beautiful view! Elena made check in and check out so easy! We were also very please with all the amenities that were available to us, making our stay very pleasant and easy! An excellent home away from home! :) I highly recommend this stay and I will be sure to return on future trips to the area!

The most beautiful view! We had a wonderful time staying here and will come again!

Great view. Clean place. Easy/Fast drive to New Haven.

Great for the price stayed two weeks felt like home.

A super great and very clean apartment right on the water. Very lovingly and modernly furnished. Everything you needed was there. The kitchen in particular was very well equipped and you could prepare great food yourself. The bus stop into town is only a 5-minute walk away. Ricardo is a nice and very friendly host. Communication was very easy. Had the apartment not been rented out again after us, we would have stayed longer.

This place was ADORABLE! Very clean, the apartment is updated and stylish. It’s right on the water, which made for a nice view. It’s very conveniently located with plenty of things around. Ricardo was very friendly and accommodating, and the entire stay was flawless. I would definitely stay here again if I get back to the area!!

We had a great stay at Ricardos Airbnb, very clean, close to downtown and had everything we needed! Definitely recommend staying here!

Great, affordable place with easy driving access to Yale.

Cozy space, convenient location, beautiful view. I wish I'd gotten to stay longer!

Comfortable place on the water. Quick drive to downtown New Haven. Super clean and fresh.

This place was perfect me and my girlfriend. Great location to travel into downtown New Haven. As well as some great perks with a fully functioning kitchen that allowed us to cook our own meals instead of depending on eating out or doing take out. High suggest this Airbnb and will definitely be back.

We had a great stay here. Great location. Very clean, very friendly.

Love this place! Nice and cozy with sweet touches of flamingos

very nice house, very clean and welcoming and very nice area

Exactly as advertised. Very Clean. Thanks Kathy.

What a great spot just a minute from the sea. We really enjoyed the view, beach. Kathy was responding very quickly and Ron came everytime we needed. I liked the handwrite notes!

The perfect place - spacious, comfy, ~10 mins from downtown yet you feel like you are nestled away in a sleepy beach town. Quiet location, pretty views. Kathleen went above and beyond in that she stocked the apartment with many thoughtful touches - any bathroom items you may have forgotten to pick, she has available right in the apartment. I highly recommend this host!

Everything I needed for a short visit to Branford. Close to the main roads but far enough away to be quiet at night. Walk right in from the separate entrance, no stairs. Super clean and comfortable. Room enough for a family of four to spread out a bit. Largest bed is a queen size pull out couch, second room had two twin beds. Hosts provided excellent local information in their binder.

The space was clean and a nice break from the RV we had been traveling in. The driveway was large enough to park the 30’ rental RV overnight, which was a great benefit for us. Kathleen was very responsive and even offered to ship a pair of jeans that were left behind.

Great location, lots of thoughtful touches.

Clean, cozy space; no-fuss check-in; would book again!

Timothy's space looks exactly as pictured. But what you don't see is the incredibly comfortable bed, relaxing shower, quiet seclusion, and the perfect place to get away while still located just s few minutes to town. Timothy was available without being intrusive, which was appreciated. And check-in/check-out was smooth. Thank you for a great stay!

Timothy's place is wonderful in all aspects: clean, cozy, well-appointed, and secluded yet close to everything. The pictures showcase the apartment perfectly, including the thoughtful design and natural light. Definitely one of the most spotless rentals I've ever stayed in. Very easy access to I-95 and coastal Connecticut. Timothy was also a fantastic, quick communicator. Looking forward to staying here again on a future trip to the New Haven area.

Timothy was a great host. Very hospitable and accommodating. Answered any questions or concerns I had and reached out to make sure I was doing well during my stay. I’d highly recommend.

Quiet place to relax. Close to town and convenient location.

We had a wonderful stay at Tim’s place. Check in and check out we’re both easy. The space is beautiful, clean, and inviting. The amenities are great. We will be back next year!

If you want a quaint and quiet place to get away, this is THE spot. In such an ideal location as it’s not too far off the beaten path, but just far enough that you feel peacefully secluded. Beautiful views, beautifully designed home. What’s more is that you get great communication from Tim. He’s on top of making sure everything is okay, I felt that he really cared about us having a flawless trip. Would recommend undoubtedly, and would definitely return.

So good!!!

Robert is a great host. The freshly baked bread in the morning was a wonderful touch.

Good stay for local visits! Comfortable home

Cool space, and Robert was kind enough to stay up for us as we had a late check-in.

We really enjoyed our time at Robert's place. He was very kind and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and the bed was extremely comfortable!

When you sleep in this house, it's not just a warm, welcoming and peaceful moment. It's also fulfilling to see how Robert works and learns a lot with his amazing thirst for learning and curiosity. And he is also very generous. Whatever language you speak, you have a good chance to spend a good time with Robert! We'd go back to Robert's place blindly! Thank you Robert.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the John Tyler House for my sister's wedding. The accommodations were comfortable and well worth the value. Robert is an EXCELLENT host and we had a fabulous time getting to know him. I would definitely return!

Lovely house full of history. Communicative host, great company, does a fantastic job of sharing such a wonderful home - absolutely epitomizing a fantastic Airbnb host&location! Would stay again.

Robert is a wonderful host and this is an amazing historic property, well situated near downtown Branford. Easy access to I95 but with a very private secluded feel.

Wonderful cozy cottage just a short walk from the water. Don't miss it!

The historic cottage is lovingly furnished and very cozy. The garden and the porch are very attractive. The beach is a minute walk and nearby there is a small post office and 2 Italian restaurants. The equipment of the house met our expectations and was very good. Rinsing by hand is sometimes on vacation. Kathy is a very sympathetic host who really cares and we are happy to have spent our vacation in this place. Highly recommended.

Great host good with communication

We enjoyed the house a lot, is useful and located in a easy accesible area... The neighborhood is quiet and safe, the beach have a beautiful view, a special view we can say... This is a very especial place.. We would love to stay again at the house, we hope to go back soon sincerely

Stayed here with me and my two girls and enjoyed the quiet friendly neighborhood. It was also nice on Sunday morning to hear the church bells and attend the church nearby with the locals and a nice meal afterwards. This was my first air bnb experience and I would highly reccomend this place. Kathy is a wonderful host, great spirit, and very attentive.

We rented the house to sleep groomsmen for a few nights before I got married. The house was perfect for our needs. We were able to grill and cook for ourselves and make coffee with cookware supplied by the house. All the bases were covered - TV, Internet/wifi, na towels, beach towels (and a local beach!), etc. We had a great time. Just note - the house is dark inside, and it has settled over time (built in 1903) so the floor is a bit tilty, so that may be a consideration if you or other guests are unsteady on your feet. Kathy is super sweet - she came by with an additional portable air conditioner the day we arrived because it was uncharacteristically hot and humid.

The house is clean, spacious, and in a fantastic location. It's off the road enough that it's quiet, and it's steps away from a private beach -- which staying at the house gives you access to use. There were 5 adults in our party and we had plenty of room for sleeping, cooking, and gathering. I highly recommend this place and will keep it on my short list for when I feel like a beach getaway!

Nice location near the beach. Plenty of room for us.

Great selection of books, clean and open space, everything you need for a comfortable and homey stay! :)

This is a great value and location. Nice to have breakfast food available. Enjoyed a quick stay.

Our stay was great, lots of books to read and food/coffee/tea to enjoy. Paul and Donna were very responsive and the bed was super comfortable! Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic space. Was worried about finding a place after being unexpectedly delayed leaving New Haven. Probably the best and most relaxing night I had all week. Loved all the books, how cozy it was, and how easy and simple the whole process was. Also super responsive.

Love my stay

Great, private space in a quiet area next to a pretty stretch of water. Check in was very easy and the place was cozy and comfortable. We had a very nice stay.

I loved the place, location and privacy. Of the best Airbnb I've ever been. 100% recommended

My second time staying, and hope to be back another time soon! It’s a cozy and comfortable spot — a great value.

Blanca and her husband Geoff are literally the best hosts I can think of. They are genuinely good people and my stay there was extremely comfortable, clean and peaceful. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Blanca and Geoff are such warm and welcoming hosts, and the private airbnb space -- bedroom, bathroom, entrance and use of a lovely den -- is full of thoughtful details that make a perfect stay. They provide a full continental breakfast and use of a lovely kitchen and you really feel their sincere goodwill in opening their home to you! Will recommend to all our friends and family who visit. Thanks Blanca and Geoff!

Lovely couple with a warm place to relax.

Blanca and her husband are very amazing people who truly love what they do. They are very connected to the community and do a lot of great deeds. I felt safe and enjoyed my stay there, I wish they had more booking time :).

Blanca and Geoff made me feel at home. I've only ever rented Airbnb's where I could rent the entire space. I chose them for a few reasons: the location and price were wonderful and they had good reviews. Additionally, although I'm sure Airbnb vet's their hosts, that they are a married couple and run a church made me feel extra safe as a solo female. Blanca and Geoff have thoughtful touches for guests, including items one might forget to pack, extra pillows and blankets, etc. The bathroom is private and reserved for the Airbnb guest who has his or her own entrance and key so although it is a room in a home, it feels much more private than one might anticipate. Their house is a few miles from downtown New Haven which is hopping with restaurants and activity around Yale's campus. Should I need to stay in New Haven in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

I really enjoyed staying at Blanca and Geoff's home. They were incredibly welcoming, grabbed my bags, got me settled in and made tea upon my arrival. Also, I arrived at the start of a snow storm, because I wasn't able to go out, they offered dinner. I also had breakfast waiting for me in the morning when I got up. And they cleared off the snow on my vehicle and cleared off the sidewalks right before I left. I am incredibly grateful and SO impressed with just about everything. They made me feel like I was at home. The room was immaculate. Very clean and so was the bathroom. They had a fridge fully stocked with water in the bedroom and snacks at the bedside. It was a wonderful experience and I would HIGHLY recommend them to any of my family and friends.I will be staying there again. -Dominique

Blanca and Geoff are so very kind, warm, and hospitable! We had a fantastic stay in their home. The continental breakfast was a great plus and very convenient. We were also shown the thermostat where we could adjust the temperature to our room. There is a reading room next to the bedroom which we were welcome to use. Private entrance with a key. Bed was firm and very comfortable. Snacks, water, a fridge and a closet in the bedroom. Everything was great! We hope to stay there again!

Blanca and her husband are very nice people. They met us we arrived, kept a parking spot for us and showed us the house right away. We felt very comfortable at their place. It has private entrance and private shower. The house is very clean, good located and easy to find. The communication was easy. We were happy to stay at Blanca’s place. Highly recommend. Thank you!

This was an exceptional visit. Everything was perfect. There were snacks ... which was very delightful.

Errol’s place was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. He was very considerate and prompt at responding to anything I needed. I highly recommend staying at his place.

Spotless, stylish, comfortable space at a fair price. Full kitchen stocked w/ thoughtful treats that far exceeded expectations. Errol made things easy. Had a good stay. Would stay again.

It is a nice cozy apartment to stay for 2 guests. It was clean and filled with necessary kitchen and bathroom stuff. I had a very nice stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Stony Creek Depot. It was a very comfortable and easy home to be in. We would love to come back. Barbara was a great host!!

Amazing place and beautiful location. Decorated impeccably and stocked with amenities! Highly recommend and hope to get back soon!

Awesome place! Barbara provided a lot of special touches to make sure our stay was just wonderful. The place is exceptionally clean and it felt just like my own home. I can't believe she provided fresh half and half for our coffee! I haven't stayed at an Airbnb with a percentage of the goodies and amenities she left for us. It was simply amazing! My husband is typically very hard to please when it comes to accomodations. But he was more than happy with Barbara's place!

This is a wonderful home/apt. Very spacious for 4 and extra space for one additional. very well prepared for any dining or entertaining. And the relaxing feel from a covered cozy porch to a wrap around balcony just tops it off! The small village is quaint with activities and dining just footsteps away yet close to highways to get to other coastal towns! Barb has done a wonderful job making this feel like your own home!

Book it now you won't regret it ! Great hospitality ! Stylish thoughtful decor and Pet friendly. One of the best Air B and B experiences I've had. Barbra is a super host !

Lovely spot! Our family of five stayed for three nights of a graduation weekend, and everyone agreed that the place was pretty, comfortable, and well appointed.

Amazing place and an amazing host!

This place is awesome! I am a stickler for cleanliness and it was as if I was in my own home. Everything was nice and modern exactly like it was in the pictures. Communication with Barbara was awesome and very straight forward. Location is awesome and feels like Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard. Barbara is a talented host and you will definitely enjoy the lovely asthetics and the lovely sun room!

Great value.

good place

👍🏻

Room is close to Yale, check-in was easy via lock box. For the price it was what I expected—cheapest room available on airbnb. Towel and sheets were clean😀. There is no a/c, but there’s a small fan. Bed is on a stand that may be precarious for an overweight person, but fine otherwise. The knob for hot water is missing in the shower, but you can still twist it with your hand. Overall, you get what you pay for. I think the price is fair considering its location. Good for a short no-frills stay.

Great for a short stay.

Great deal and very close to downtown/Yale.

I enjoyed staying here, it was worth it. very nice neighborhood

This room/house was better than expected. I enjoyed my stay here, very close to the city, excellent prices and a very caring host. I recommend this room to anyone who is looking for a quality room to rent for a very low price .. thanks rose !!

The apartment was neat and had plenty of kitchen supplies. They also had conditioner for the shower, which is great because I don't travel with mine. I was working at Lockwood Farm during my stay, and it was perfectly located for me. The apartment was also close to tons of food options and to Sleeping Giant State Park. I would book again.

Booked short notice. Very clean looks just like pictures

Awesome place! Joe was extremely flexible and timely in responses.

This is my first air bnb and It is awesome to say it was a great experience!! Enjoyed my stay 100%! minor issues but none too bad to bare or that cant be fixed 😊 . The host was great !! Host responded very quickly and was very helpful and direct with directions! Do recommend anyone !!!

Great place!!! Would definitely stay again!

This apartment was phenomenally clean with beautiful wood floors. Communication with Joe was instantaneous and friendly. And with a full kitchen, it was a great value.

Convenient location, easy check-in, very VERY prompt responses with every communication and a genuinely "good guy" host, Joe made our brief visit both affordable and pleasant. Thank you, Joe.

Very Clean Great Space

Amongst the best I’ve stayed in and I’ve stayed in a a lot. Very cozy and stylish.

Stylish and comfortable space with an extremely convenient location.

A clean and cool loft apartment, close to downtown

Amazing spot. Highly recommend.

Super nice and clean loft. Great host! Very nice Wooster Sq location. Right in front of the park and very convenient to everything.

This space is gorgeous and very welcoming. You'll want to hang out in this huge space and relax. It's a quick walk to pizza places, so you can easily be in line early. The wine bottle when you arrive is a nice touch. Easy in and out, great communication. I would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Alex and Josh's place is beautiful, bright, and clean. The neighborhood is very quiet, and it's close to everything.

Alex and Josh are consummate hosts—responsive and caring. They make one feel like a welcome guest, not a customer. The loft is an airy, sun-filled, unique space, a sparkling clean, modern nest atop a gorgeous 1880s mansion. Large and small needs are thoughtfully anticipated. Keyless entry makes arrival and departure easy, and the location can’t be beat.

Beautiful, clean and complete apartment. Great view of Branford River, nature and sunsets. We found the shoreline trail nearby and took our dog for a wonderful walk. We also walked to town center easily for groceries and restaurants. The apartment has a big tv with all the cable channels and Netflix we needed. The kitchen has everything to cook up dinner and breakfast and more. We had a great stay.

This was my 2nd time staying here. Very clean. Cozy bed with Down Comforter. I love how comfortable the place is. I'm from Miami, so the temperature is a big deal for me. I always felt warm and comfortable. I appreciated the bottle of wine and two glasses greeting me when I walked in. That was a nice touch! Phil and Laini are fabulous to communicate with and always available if you need them. Safe house and location. Right by the train station and a short drive to downtown. Lovely stay...I'll be back!

My husband and I stayed here for an extended stay in between the sale and purchase of our new home Phillips hoe e is a nice one bedroom unit kitchen living room and bath. Bed looked so inviting with piled up pillows and a nice fluffy down comforter. Walking distance to downtown. I recommend to stop at By the sea for a massage

Philip was a great host. He communicated well and was Johnny on the spot when I didn’t have a hairdryer. He brought one right over. I highly recommend his place. It’s next to the train tracks but the tall trees keep you from realizing it. I did hear trains, but the amazing view and peaceful inlet make up for any 5 second moment that the train went by. His apt is clean and super cozy. I’m from Miami so I thought I’d be cold, but his place stays very warm. Plus it’s near downtown and the train station. Would definitely stay there again! Thanks Philip!

Not only was Philip very responsive and kind, the apartment was very clean and cozy. The location is amazing - the Branford River is right across the street and adorable downtown Branford is in walking distance. Having this space for us for the week really helped make our trip comfortable and relaxing.

Philip was responsive and able to accommodate our last minute booking. Great location - walking distance to shops and restaurants. Liked the apartment. It was clean and had everything we needed.

Philip and Laini were such incredibly accommodating and kind hosts. I booked their BnB for my technicians working in the area and they said it was lovely, sparkling clean, and comfortable. We also had to extend our stay to get some additional work done and they went above and beyond to help us make that happen. I would 100% recommend and will definitely book with them again in the future. Thank you both so much!

My stay at Philips place was wonderful. Philip was extremely nice and made sure I had everything I needed and was quick to respond with any questions I had. I was nervous with how close the train was at first but it was much quieter than I expected and did not bother me at all, it really was just a whooshing noise. The house is in an excellent location with restaurants and breweries near by. Plus it is right on the river which was nice. I would very much stay here again

A big open and cozy apartment in an wonderful location.

Nice apartment in Stony Creek. Very clean with everything as described. Great location in a nice town. Would stay here again!

Plenty of room, tall ceilings, good sized kitchen, and great bathroom shower!

A decent stay.

Easy to get to. Clean.

Great people and very clean.

This space was a great find! Jhane is an excellent host, and the area is quiet and safe. Highly recommended.

Clean home , very quick to response and great people! Made the stay warm and extremely enjoyable !

Room as expected - clean, homey and comfortable

Very hospitable

Great host. Bedroom was exactly as pictured.

Betsy's home was in a perfect location and very cozy. We had everything we needed, it was exceptionally clean and full of adorable touches and chic retro style. We were attending a cousin's wedding not far from Betsy's and she and her husband made all of our logistics exceedingly easy. I would recommend the house to everyone!

My college friends met at the Walnut Lodge. The place is right by the beach. Near a lot of great restaurants. Great neighbors. Met Betsy’s mom and sister. And Betsy on Monday. Great family. Very kind. Would definitely go back again. Awesome memories. Thanks Betsy ! Oh the bed and pillows were fabulous.

Hi Betsy, we loved staying at your wonderful home. Everything was perfect for our family. Peaceful, quiet, relaxing. With the beach right down at the end of the street. Nice touch with the Vinho Verde wine chilled in the fridge and red wine and snacks. We loved the walks and nearby restaurants and cafes. We want to come back and next time take advantage of the kayaks. We appreciated you accommodating our special needs and willingness to help us out And special thanks to Terry.

Thank you Betsy for all 😁

The listing is accurate, this is a rustic type of experience... but as long as you’re prepared to stay in a quirky beach cottage and not a palatial estate, you’ll have a great time. We knew very little about Branford coming in, but the location turned out to be A+. The cottage is just steps from the beach past a few other houses - we enjoyed our morning coffee on a bench at the end of the street overlooking the Sound, and headed down for a swim after a long day out. The beach itself is very sizable and sandy (not very rocky) as these private Sound beaches go. There’s a lot to do in the immediate area to fill up a weekend (ours was a two-day midweek trip). Just a mile up the road is a great seafood place (Lenny’s) with an outdoor deck/bar with live music. We ate there twice. We also tried the Friki Tiki next door to Lenny’s, which was quiet on the day we went but Thursday-Sunday becomes an all-request piano bar (owned by a Broadway producer, so they get some talent in). There’s also a Mexican restaurant with a deck right there. Another mile down the road is the Stony Creek Brewery, which is massive and not to be missed whether you enjoy beer or not. Great outdoor space. Thimble Island Brewing is a further away, smaller, great variety of brews. We parked on the Western side of the Trolley Trail and walked across the marshes (about 1 mile) to the Stony Creek area of town. Had sandwiches at the local market and then took the 45-minute Thimble Islands cruise on the Sea Mist. Terrific narrated tour of the islands and the history behind all of the homes. The cottage was a perfect spot to return to at the end of the day, the screened front porch is huge and quiet, master bed was comfortable (we didn’t use the two twins in the back bedroom, but there’s more than enough room for kids). Kitchen was functional and the host left us several snacks and drinks (thanks Betsy!) Bathroom is funky - tub and toilet inside and shower is outside, which was a fun change of pace. Exactly the kind of thing you’d expect on a beach getaway. We also tried G cafe on Main Street on the way out of town - great quick breakfast and there were tons of cute shops and restaurants in town we’ll have to check out when we return. If you’re looking for a summer place to relax and unwind for a bit near the sea, don’t hesitate to book this cottage.

We were in town for a wedding and had a great stay at the cottage! We loved the location just a short walk from the water, and enjoyed spending some time on the beach and taking advantage of the kayaks available next to the cottage. We also enjoyed checking out Stony Creek Brewery which was a short drive away - definitely recommend to any visitors! Despite the heat wave while we were there, we stayed pretty cool thanks to the window units. Thanks for everything!

Charming old beach cottage - classic Connecticut! Great location right by the water. Elizabeth was quick, welcoming and thoughtful with extra touches. My two little girls especially loved our stay.

First of all I want to thank Elizabeth for opening her very comfy Walnut Lodge to my family and I!! That offered plenty to do. We especially loved the kayaks and very short walk to the private beach. Anything we needed was there at our disposal. She even had the fridge stocked with fantastic local beers. I would recommend her home to anyone who likes a very comfortable and peaceful stay. Thank you Elizabeth for your very welcoming hospitality. We will be staying there again when we come back to Connecticut.

Very comfortable. Will stay again

Great budget friendly, safe New Haven/Yale area close to down town house to camp out for a night or two while in New Haven. Rose , a great helpful host!

Rose tells it like it is. A nice, warm, comfortable, clean and safe place to stay. Very good location for New Haven.

Easy check in, quiet, worked well for our short stay!

great place nice bed

Really nice host. Walking distance to Yale campus.

Very quiet street. The regular tenants there are super nice!

Affordable place near Yale. Can't beat value for price.

Quaint little seaside cottage. Very cozy and clean.

A lovely stay in a cute little cottage. The interior space was larger than anticipated and we had a great time. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals.

Fun place to stay. Very comfortable!

Perfect! No other way to describe it , it’s cozy and in the perfect area.

Bob's cottage was just the right size for my boyfriend and I while in town for a wedding. It is bright and feels much more spacious than you would think from the outside! The back porch and windows in the bedroom overlook the marsh beyond the back yard, great light and views that make it feel secluded even though there are properties pretty close by on either side. We had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was super comfortable. My only note is for those who like to sleep in: the bedroom windows face the sunrise and only had lightweight, white curtains so mornings were bright! Would definitely stay again, just will probably bring an eye mask next time :)

Bob's place was perfect. We were visiting from Ireland for wedding and the cottage was ideal for us. It was very clean and it had everything we needed for a lovely stay. It was in a great area too.

Great place to stay! Bob gave us great recommendations for a golf course and restaurants nearby! We would highly recommend this house!

A great place near the Connecticut shore that was clean and comfy. Bob was also a great communicator and wished to help to make our stay most enjoyable.
