The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Robert's place worked perfectly for our trip to Branford for a wedding. The place definitely has the character you'd expect from 300 years of history which Robert is delighted to present. Robert made us feel very welcome the whole time. We only regret that we were too busy to get the full tour and demonstration of the weaving workshop set up on the first floor.

Robert is a perfect host. He provided a warm comfortable house with good food and good wine and a cheery personality. I tend to keep to myself and he was very happy to let me do my own thing, but always greeted me back to the house with a smile and the offer of coffee. Robert is just a super nice guy who provides a relaxed make-yourself-at-home environment for all of his guests.

Robert is the best host out there. He immediately offered us wine and coffee. There was banana bread and toast and more coffee in the morning. He will make you feel as welcome as a host can. We looked forward to talking to him whenever we were at the house. Also he gave a fascinating tour of the house. It's full of history, a piano, a loom and spinner, that type of thing. The location is great. Walking distance to Branford green where there are shops and restaurants. Robert even gave us a small car tour. The house is a work in progress, so there's that to take into account. However, we'd love to go back to spend more time with Robert, explore the beautiful town, and visit some nearby relatives of ours.

Robert made me feel very welcome and special. After I met my children for dinner I came back to the John Tyler house where Robert offered my a nightcap and then we gabbed...he was very engaging. Robert communicated very quickly to my request for a reservation...which was last minute.

Robert was a gracious host. Made us feel welcome. A very short stay but we would return.

Just as described, clean, super charming house and neighborhood. Wonderful AirBNB host, I enjoyed sitting down and chatting with her over coffee the next morning. She had some great local recommendations and the town is adorable. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I went for a short (2 day, 1 night) stay for a wedding and felt really comfy and at home at Doss' house. She was very thoughtful and hospitable. I'm glad we had some time on our last day to chat a bit :)

As pictured, the house was cute, clean and comfortable. Doss was gracious and the house was nice and cool on a very hot day! Thanks, Doss!

The house is a great location and is within walking distance to the beach. Train station is about 2.5 miles away, it's a far walk but super easy by bike. Doss is a great conversationalist and has a lot of passion for travel and food. I know it's cliche... but I felt very at home in her house. Weather allowing, make sure to spend a morning on the deck, sipping some coffee and enjoyment oying the quiet surrounding neighborhood. The upstairs room is very nice, you get your own bed and a small sitting area, very private.

Doss is just the best host ever. She is kind, interesting, easy going and very considerate. She did much more for us than we paid for. The house is so beautiful, we had a lot of space and felt extremely homie right away. We did not want to leave this place and Doss.

When we arrived at Doss's lovely home, she was there to greet us and immediately made us feel welcome. She has thought of everything and exceeded our expectations. The room was more spacious than described. Wish we could have spent more time in her beautiful garden. The house is in a lovely neighborhood, very peaceful and Doss is charming. We will be back!

This was an absolutely charming and private get away! Doss greeted me with a warm welcome and even took me in her car to show me the beach and suggestions on where to park. The room and bath were clean, comfortable and had the most wonderful cross breeze. I had the best night sleep I'd had in a while. I brought a girlfriend by to see the house so she can book some time away. too. I can't wait to go back either with my partner or again by myself for a relaxing weekend to myself. I enjoyed the beach, the backyard and garden and the convenience to local Branford restaurants. Thank you, Doss!

Lovely space, host and neighborhood. We had an all-too-short one-night stay while in Branford to do some work on our boat in a local boatyard and it was perfect. The bedroom and sitting room were very comfortable and welcoming, and the house itself, as well as Doss herself, ar just charming. We will be back, for sure.

Robert was very hospitable! Communication was easy, and house was as described. Great location! Would definitely rent again!

A perfect spot to visit or work in Branford, especially near Linden or Pawson Point. Just a short stroll away from some good restaurants, or a nice walk along the shore of Long Island Sound. The quaint village of Branford is a short drive away. The home is great for a couple or small family, with a nice kitchen and dining area. The Master Bedroom is spacious, and the bathroom is wonderful with a walk in shower and separate Jacuzzi tub. Internet was fast and there were plenty of TV channels to choose from, after a long day. We'll definitely be back!

The house had everything that we needed. It was comfortable, clean, and in a really good location. Close to lots of good places to eat. We enjoyed our stay, and will definitely return.

The house is very charming and well appointed. We regretted not being able to take advantage of the outdoor grill and patio but it was perfect for our needs, centrally located and spacious enough for 3 busy professionals.

Very pretty house, well furnished and well stocked. Gracious and very responsive host.

Great communication. It is a great home situated in a wonderful area. Thanks Teresa!

First, the location is stellar. It's a short walk to restaurants, a short drive to shops and anything else you need. It's a beautiful area, even in winter. The home itself is lovely, nicely decorated and really comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by how well-stocked it was, we didn't need to buy a thing other than our own food. The pics don't do the home justice, it's beautifully updated but still maintains a beach cottage vibe. We'd rent it again in a heartbeat. We've vacationed in this area for almost 30 years, and this is by far our favorite rental.

My family of three has found this to be a very comfortable, clean and well equipped vacation home, which is why we've stayed multiple times dating to a time before it was listed here.

Beautiful home, great view of the river and the city lights at night. Close by to local attractions. Easy parking. Absolutely loved it.

Like Staying in a Friend's Apartment This second-floor apartment is extremely comfortable and welcoming. It is also authentic, furnished and decorated in a way that is easygoing, pleasant, and natural--we really did feel like we were staying in a friend's home! It offers bookshelves laden with interesting volumes that we might enjoy reading, a stereo with vinyl, cassette tape and CD choices, plenty of lamps for cozy nighttime reading, a rocking chair in the living room ... and glorious natural light, well-loved timber floors, views of neighbouring trees and over rooftops to the river, a gas stove in the full kitchen, and oodles of space in the two bedrooms, dining room and living room. There's also a mini balcony for use when weather permits. The host of this apartment with soul, Paul, was fantastic. He was very responsive in communications, helpful with neighbourhood information, flexible with our arrival and departure schedules, and extremely generous when a winter storm delayed our arrival in the US by 48 hours. He had fruit, coffee and milk waiting for us, and provided a surprise brekky of fresh eggs on our departure morning. Dragon Point is an interesting enclave opposite the Fair Haven neighbourhood of New Haven, primarily residential. There are a deli/convenience store, family-run pizza restaurant, and wine shop just around the corner from the apartment; we were very happy to be able to walk to the pizza place for a decent garlic-and-broccoli 'white' pie at 10 pm when we arrived. We would absolutely be keen to return to this Dragon Point apartment on a future visit!

Great apartment! Really enjoyed our stay

Paul's place was very relaxing and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Donna, Paul and their two children are a wonderful fun filled family! We felt so at home with our two children and we had a blast. Staying at the dragon point is a blessing. The beds are comfy and the space is kept nice and clean. Loved waking up and looking out the windows at the river and seeing all the beauty around. You will feel right at home there!

We had a great stay at Paul's place. The location next to the river is great and the value is hard to beat.

Comfy beds and beautiful view!

Although we have only stayed one night at Paul but we did not miss anything. Its location was good. Everything worked smoothly.

Abie's place was clean and comfortable. It was the ideal place for me and my family.

Our stay at Rita's place was amazing. We were greeted so warmly by our host and her daughter. Rita invited me to come down and watch the sunset over the salt water marsh and enjoy a glass of wine and a cheese plate. The space itself is way beyond expectations. All the pictures in the listing except the wood paneled room are actually WITHIN the private suite for your exclusive use. We could not believe all the different views from this "treehouse suite". If you are into bird watching you will be amazed. Set far back from the road and backing up to the marshes, we left most of the windows open to enjoy the cross breeze and salt water scent as we slept in the most comfy queen size bed. The en suite bathroom was palatial and freshly remodeled in the most updated finishes. And the morning breakfast tray was an unexpected delight. Rita gave us loan of her kayaks so we ventured down to the beach access 1 block away and paddled around the small islands off the shore. We were there for just a short 2 night stay on the way to taking my daughter to a month at camp, and it was a most relaxing send off. We really enjoyed playing board games in the round sun room at the end of our last evening there. I'm not sure I can praise this listing enough. Every aspect, location, price, space, comfort, amenities, host interaction, all 5+ stars. We are hopeful we'll get the opportunity to stop back by for another visit at Rita's on the way home from camp!

Rita's place is absolutely lovely! The room was huge and airy to say the least. We counted 18 windows, not counting the 2 sliders doorways. The view of the marsh was spectacular. A page out of National Geographic. Rita was such a pleasure to interact with. Very friendly, helpful, easy-going. The bed incredibly comfortable. We would definitely return again for some more kayak adventures! Thankyou Rita, your the best

We had a wonderful stay at this relaxing retreat by the sea. The 360 degrees views of the marsh and Long Island sound were amazing! Rita was the consummate host, leaving us wine and cheese on our arrival and delivering homemade muffins and berries to our door every morning! The room was spacious and comfortable and a great place to just relax in front of the fire and enjoy watching TV. Could not have been better! Thank you Rita!!

Rita welcomed us upon arrival and immediately began describing the multitude of amenities available to us, including her personal kayaks, the porch swings, and short walk (I do mean short) to the beach. Our spacious room featured multiple sitting areas, two hugh decks with gorgeous views and chairs and tables, and the most comfortable bed. In the spacious private bathroom (accessible from our room only), we found 2 sinks separated by an amazing vanity, a vast walk in shower, a bidet and toilet, and, my favorite, a luxurious tub flanked by windows. Rita stocked our room with refreshments for the evening (wine, cheese, crackers, grapes, beer) and with supplements for our breakfast (milk, dry cereal, half-and-half, keurig supplies). In the morning, we received delicious muffins and a great supply of fruit. Although we had only one evening at Rita's, we felt as though we had experienced a week's worth of R&R. We will definitely book our next CT getaway at Rita's.

My girlfriend and I spent a night in Rita's suite and were extremely happy with our experience. The suite was more spacious than expected. Rita was very accommodating and welcoming; the room came with snacks, a bottle of wine, and even breakfast in the morning! The two private decks provided perfect views for both the sunset and sunrise. The bathroom was spacious and luxurious. We even borrowed Rita's kayaks to take on the water. Overall great experience; would highly recommend to others.

The room is bigger than my entire Manhattan 1 bedroom apartment and the furnishings were nice and comfortable. The room gets a lot of sun but I was able to find shade on the decks and in the backyard. Rita was a warm host who gave me some good tips on walks in the area for my photography projects, and she maintains the room well.

The house was beautiful and beautifully situated. Rita was a very nice, responsive, gracious host.

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful time. The room was beautiful and we were lucky enough to have a lighting storm roll in at night which was beyond beautiful with all the windows. We would easily come back and stay again for a night! The private beach is a plus!

Peggy and her husband, Greg, made me feel welcome the moment I arrived. I honestly felt as though I was returning for a visit to a friend's home ! They are lovely hosts. The setting is peaceful; I woke up to seagulls and a beautiful sunrise one morning. And, their beach garden flowers are bursting with beauty! Morning chats with coffee, fruit and pastries were a wonderful way to start each day! Thank you so much, Peggy and Greg!!!

Everything about my stay was lovely in all regards. The description provided was totally accurate. The room has a wonderful view of Long Island Sound. The house is so close to the water that you can hear the water lapping on the shore. I highly recommend this room and will plan to stay here again when the opportunity to travel back to the area arises. Thanks, Peggy!

We had a lovely time staying at the Carpenter's home. The space was very comfortable and the neighbourhood was calm and scenic. They (including a little cute ol' dog) were friendly and helpful throughout the stay, and even drove me 10mns to go see a friend when I couldn't get a cab! We couldn't have asked for more!

Peggy and Greg were great hosts! We stayed there for one night and had no issues at all. Everything was as described and perfect for what we needed.

Peggy and Greg were very welcoming. They provided everything needed and answered all questions we had. The house and room are cozy, nicely decorated and clean. The room on the second floor had separate bathroom next door and wonderful view from the window. The neighborhood was lovely and quite. The house has a small beach with amazing view right across the road.

Peggy and Greg were welcoming and relaxed, extremely knowledgeable about the region and generous with their advice. The house is situated in a lovely, safe area along the coast with a beautiful view and a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. The private bathroom was clean and convenient. We would be happy to stay there anytime.

Peggy's place has an amazing view out the guest bedroom window. She and her family are laid back and wonderful to chat with. The space is the perfect, quiet get-away.

Peggy and Greg were welcoming and made us feel at home. The accommodations were fine -- the room isn't large but it does look out over the water, which is lovely. Bathroom is separate from the room (down the hall). It had a strong shower, was clean and large, worked well. Peggy and Greg made us a lovely breakfast of great coffee, fruit, croissants and jam, which was unexpected.

We didn't stay at this place. While en route (we had only made the reservation the day before), the owner informed us, by text, that she was undertaking a major housecleaning, so the place was not available. I spoke with her on the phone and she was very nice and very apologetic.. I am certain she would have been a terrific host.

Great stay! We did an overnight and Aimee was very accommodating. The room was perfect and the location was quiet and serene.

We enjoyed our stay at Aimee's. She is welcoming and made us feel very comfortable (as did her cat, Frodo). The grounds are amazing. The house is older and in the midst of renovations. It was a nice base of operations for us as we visited the area. Our only complaint was the bed was not particularly comfortable but certainly not enough to seriously detract from our stay. Recommended!

The best time I ever had in Connecticut.. she was so awesome and the place was so beautiful I didn't want to leave, but back to reality lol... highly recommend aimed if your in Connecticut.... ty so much ...

Aimee is a warm and lovely person and her yard and patio space are beautiful. That being said, this wouldn't be a great place to stay for someone with allergies or a person who was picky about cleanliness. We were there very briefly before and after a wedding and we skipped out soon after we woke up because things just felt very dusty/hairy/moldy. We noticed cobwebs and general dustiness in the room we were staying in along with black mildew spots on the sheets. The bathroom floor had a grittiness that made me wish I had ventured out in shoes. I feel bad writing this because Aimee is a very nice person and the space has potential, but for the price we were expecting it to be guest-ready. I think if Aimee had someone in to professionally clean the space before the next visit, things would be much improved.

nice location

All was as described. Beautiful property. Warm and welcoming hosts--humans and animals included! Trolley museum ride on a historic little train just across the estuary from the property was magical on a blue sky summer morning.

Surrounded by nature, charming and secluded, cute animals, lovely hosts, what more could one ask for? Staying with Kit and Charles is very recommended.

though we arrived little later in the night Kit made it so comfortable that it was the prefect beginning for our long trip. The place was beautiful and view from our room was amazing. Will love to go back sometime soon.

This farm is tucked away near a beautiful estuary in CT -- you're 15 minutes away from New Haven, but it feels like you're in a whole different state. Beautiful sunsets, and walks on the farm. And don't miss the mini donkeys!!!

Kit was such a wonderful and helpful host. The place was beautiful and cozy, and the neighborhood was so peaceful. I would love to stay here again if I ever get a chance.

Kit was a fabulous host! Her cozy home was totally unique and made for a fun getaway with our 1 year old and dog. When we tried to buy a bottle of wine after 6pm on a Sunday and failed (illegal in CT!), she gave us a bottle of wine she had and refused to let us pay. An all around awesome stay!

We enjoyed our stay there very much. Kit is very warm-hearted and helpful whenever we needed it. Everything is like described . We would really like to come back.

This place is a total treat. Kit and Charles were so welcoming and helpful. The donkeys were amazing as well. We loved our stay and hope to come back soon.

The best seaside home I've stayed at in New Haven County along the shoreline. It's the perfect place for one person or a family! The home was very clean and view is magical!

Had an amazing time. The place is absolutely perfect and well described in the ad. Meticulously maintained, fully furnished with inviting, comfortable pieces and a great ambiance. The views are amazing and the beach access is a very short (and beautiful walk) away. Inside has all the essentials from appliances (large and small), kitchen essentials, a grill, you really just have to bring your clothes. While I didn't have the opportunity to meet her, Rachel herself is very attentive, prompt in her replies and extremely accommodating. Loved this place so much I offered to buy it! Unfortunately, she's not selling. :(

A lot of care and attention to guest needs go into this Airbnb and it was a delight. The location was great (close to New Haven but beachside, and walking distance from restaurants.) Very clean. Comfortable beds with nice bedding (Queen upstairs, King high-quality pull-out couch downstairs); comfortable chairs. Wooden stairs to upstairs bedroom loft (no door). Single bathroom next to front door downstairs. High table and stools on porch outside so you can see the water over the fence. Small house but has everything you need for 2-4 people.

The house was adorable and greeted us so warmly. Definitely recommend it! Rachel was great and always responded to my questions in a timely fashion and even went out of her way to wish us well when it began to snow on our departure day.

Great place, cozy & very well equipped home, very nice owner. Amazing view and location. Would recommend to friends and family.

The cottage was a perfect little retreat for catching up on work I had to do in the area. Very well kept, quite area and very homey with all appliances, utensils, spices etc that made it easy to stay there. I wish Rachel and family the best in their new endeavor.

Beautiful beach cottage with everything you need in a charming community. Enjoyed the incredible sunrise. Great for couples and families. Will definitely return.

We had a wonderful time at Rachel's adorable beach house. It was exactly as advertised. Our 2 year old daughter was delighted to run around the yard and take walks along the water...HUGE bonus that family friendly restaurants and an excellent playground are in walking distance! Hope to come back again: )

Very nice relaxing getaway. Had hard time with remote controls....they needed batteries. Would definitely like to come back when weather is warmer.

Like the listing says, the furnishings are quite sparse. But the house is all it needs to be, especially for a single night. The duvets are extremely comfortable and the bathroom is well-modeled.

Good location, by the river. Easy check in Sasha's description is accurate - bare bones furnishings. relatively large house with much room. Good internet, heat, hot water. If you are going to be more than two people in the large bed, be sure you are ok sleeping on a couch.

My perfect airbnb. Spartan, spotless, and super quiet. Just a mattress and nice blankets, a table & chair, and the kitchen basics. I'll come again!

If you looking for a place to stay. Look no further

Thank you! It is brilliant to have it be so beautiful quiet clean and simple. The perfect way to attend a lively but taxing conference!

Beautiful house. Austere in furnishings and amenities, but still a lovely place to stay. Perfect for my husband, our infant, and me. We enjoyed riverside walks and wish it had been warm enough for us to enjoy the backyard view and the firepit. Easy drive to downtown New Haven from the place.

Sasha's place is exactly as listed. It's easy to get to off the highway. He was awesome with communication and checking us in. The space is roomy and adequate as a place to drop your stuff and go to come back to sleep. I would definitely stay here again!

Terrific location if you have a car to get back and forth to New Haven. The neighborhood seems to be on the edge of the next real estate flippers' banquet. Easy parking, nice view of the river, quiet, clean, and Shaker simplicity for those who don't require 4-star hotel amenities. We were visiting our adult son in hipster cool East Haven, had the BEST brunch at The Pantry (very hip, very cool...get the cinnamon roll pancakes!) and dinner at La Legna (great beers and delicious wood fired pizza). We travelled with 2 doggies and our other adult son. The house was very spacious and about 5 minutes from the places we needed to get to. Yale is another 5-10 min. Before booking check with the host to see if the second bedroom has been furnished with a mattress rather than an uncomfortable thin futon pad and perhaps some night tables.

Very cozy place. Great location. Adorable cat.

Chris was an awesome host! Very welcoming. He offered foods and drinks and anything else we needed. His place was really nice and the bed was super comfy. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Excellent stay! Chris is a most gracious host! Charming hidden gem!

Awesome, place to give you a walk by the river front and close by transportation if needed to explore the city.

Chris was an amazing host. During my stay we only ran into him about 3 times but he made us feel right at home. He's almost never home so it gives you that only feeling. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone in this area!

Was in town for job interviews and Chris was a great host. Would definitely stay there again.

Chris was a fantastic host with a home in a great location. He and everyone else in the condo were very friendly. I couldn't ask for more from an Airbnb host.

We needed a place to stay in between living situations. Chris's place was very comfortable, quiet and in a great location. Enjoyed being greeted by his friendly cat Roxy every day. :)

Anne-Marie was kind, welcoming, accommodating, and her home is absolutely beautiful. The space was so comfortable, homey, and very tidy. My family enjoyed their stay very much, and would recommend Anne-Marie as a host for anyone looking for an Airbnb in the greater New Haven area. Excellent host! Thanks again, Anne-Marie!!

Super nice host and super comfy bed!

I unfortunately wasn't able to meet Anne-Marie, as it was a quick one night stay, but she was very accommodating. The room was lovely, very clean, and even included fresh flowers! She responded very quickly to each of my messages and was a great host. I would absolutely stay again if I find myself in the Branford area!

Fabulous hostess. I will hopefully be staying again if there is an opening. Ms Anne-Marie is very friendly, welcoming, accommodating, easy to talk to. Her home is comfortable, clean, well maintained. Location is a quick drive to work. A+++ all the way; highly recommend!

A wonderful experience from first contact to check-out. Very highly recommended.

I'm a travel nurse and have stayed with Anne-Marie for the past 3 months and it has been fabulous. She is professional, easy to work with, straightforward, and very accommodating. I would definitely stay with her again. Also, the description she provided about the room was accurate. Her home is very cozy and clean and she will provide great ideas for things to do in the area. Her home is close to New Haven where there are great restaurants. Couldn't have been more satisfied with my Airbnb experience here.

Superlative experience. Just ideal in every respect. I couldn't recommend more highly.

Anne Marie is an accommodating and charming host. I was starving after an exhausting plane ride and she drove us to a great Mediterranean restaurant and joined me for dinner. Her house is absolutely lovely, with the obvious finishing touches of a caring homeowner. I have a great deal of trouble with new beds, and Anne Marie bent over backwards, allowing me first to sleep in her recliner in the living room (which I do at home with my back issues) and adding an Ikea Mattress on top of it for me. Toiletries were provided with lots of fresh towels and I was even surprised to find my bed made in the morning. Fresh coffee in the morning was offered and Anne Marie even offered me fresh melon. She treated me as a trusted and honored guest. What an awesome first AirBnB experience.

Rob was an excellent host, I felt very comfortable in his home. His whole house was immaculately clean, and the space for guests was as well. The bathroom felt very spa like, and had very nice shampoo/conditioner! It was easy to check in because he has a keypad on the door, which was set to an easy to remember code. Rob was very friendly, always offering advice for food/activities in the area. The town of Branford was lovely to visit, a small town with a lot of charm. Would definitely recommend staying with Rob!

Very convenient and we'll appointed place to stay in a great little town with easy access to New Haven. Rob was wonderful and welcoming host. Great deal.

This is my second time to stay here and I've written a previous review. It's a lovely quiet space and the room is really pretty, fresh and comfortable. Rob is a super host and as per my previous review, I highly recommend it.

I stayed 2 nights in Rob's home. The house is so convient to Branford town center and New Haven. Rob is a very welcoming host and the room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. As a female who traveled alone on this particular trip, I felt very comfortable and I have no hesitation in recommending Rob as a host and his home is lovely.

The entire home was very clean, even for a neat freak like me. The bathroom was spotless. The bed was really comfortable and I got a great night's sleep. I was worried it might be noisy since there is so much down the street, but it was actually very quiet. The room also had usb charging ports by the nightstand which was useful. My favorite part was the keypad lock on front door. It made my life much easier. Rob was a great host, although I can't say we spent much time together. He was very friendly. I enjoyed staying here.

Hotel room for an airbnb price. The room and the bathroom are spotless. The bedroom is super comfortable and spacious. Linens are fresh. Wifi works flawlessly. You will use your private bathroom right next to the room with brand new sink, bathtub and toilet. Rob even provided clean towel and shampoo/conditioner for you. He even put chocolates and water in your room to welcome you. Parking is in the lot in front of the house so you will never have to scramble for street parking. I slept through the night so soundly, since it is such a quiet and safe neighborhood. Rob is such a great host and kept asking if I need anything else. Overall I cannot ask for a better experience than this, I felt like I was staying in a hotel instead of airbnb. If I come back to the area, I would come back and stay with Rob again. Wholeheartedly recommend this room! :)

Lovely place to stay. Very clean (spotless!) and recently renovated. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Our experience with Rob was fantastic through and through. While I did not have the pleasure of personally meeting him, my father felt completely at home with Rob hosting. It was the epitome of an ideal Airbnb trip, complete with breakfast, and we would strongly consider booking this room again! Thanks for everything.
