Lovely home and location!
This home was so charming and in a beautiful and convenient location. The owner had compiled a very useful reference guide for local restaurants and things to do, and had provided some wonderful coffee to fuel our mornings.The whole experience was just perfect for our girls’ trip!

Great house
An esthetic mixture of new and old, this house was comfortable and clean with a spectacular view. I especially enjoyed sitting in the front sunroom looking out at the gorgeous sunsets. The owners leave nothing for want and you can tell they really care about their guests’ comfort.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
This was a perfect house for our weekend getaway. The sunroom overlooking the water was by far our favorite room. Being able to disconnect while enjoying a beautiful view was exactly what we needed. Lynda is a great host and was gracious enough to allow us a slightly later check out to accommodate our travel plans home. We would definitely stay here again!

New Haven stay
We had the most amazing stay. The home was meticulously clean and exceeded our expectations!!! Lynda was a pleasure and there was a binder with every detail from restaurants, attractions, beaches, and many other things. The location was perfect for us. The sunset view from the second level deck was breathtaking. We absolutely will be coming back!

Beautiful Waterfront Home
Super clean and charming 1920’s waterfront home. Had all the comforts and amenities of home. Convenient location to Tweed airport and downtown New Haven. Better than any hotel in New Haven that i have stayed at. Highly recommended and will stay here again for my next visit.

Connecticut Vacation
The property is clean and well maintained. The pictures are accurate as is the description. It was a self contained oasis for the family and enjoyed by all. We were able to check in early, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a scenic and relaxing spot in New Haven.

Beautiful home
We were in the area for a weekend getaway. This home is wonderful. It has all of its original charm while beautifully remodeled for today’s users creating a comfortable retreat. The speakers, games, coffee nook and outdoor area were all enjoyed. The views from the porch and front room were our so relaxing. The location was convenient to both New Haven for dinners and cute coastal towns we could explore. Thank you for sharing your home.

Awesome location and home in New Haven!
Stayed at this home recently for a wedding we attended. The location is awesome! Across from the water offering beautiful sunrise and sunset pictures. It’s also only 3.5 miles or eight minutes away from Frank Pepe‘s pizza. If anyone knows good New Haven Pizza this is a significant positive to the location!! The Home was exceptionally appointed, very up-to-date, and inviting. We traveled with a 6 months old grandson and everything we needed was available, highchair, portable, crib, etc. The beds were really comfortable and the amenities in the kitchen and bar area were by far the best we’ve seen in any rental home recently. I would highly recommend this home for anyone needing to stay in the East Haven, New Haven, West Haven area.

Beautiful seaside retreat
What a wonderful property! The home was simply beautiful and the view of the water was amazing. We had everything we needed and the home was spotless. There was such attention to detail. We would definitely stay here again. It was a most enjoyable experience. It was the nicest VRBO we have stayed in. Definitely a 5 star rating!

Lovely House with Beautiful Sunset Views
We loved this beautiful house across the street from the ocean which offered lovely sunset views from the upper deck. The house was immaculate and had plenty of space for the two of us. It seems it could easily accommodate 6 people. The property manager and the owner were very responsive to our questions.

A nice little seaside retreat!
We rented this property for a family of four to celebrate our son’s college graduation. The location was nice to watch the water but it’s on a very busy road with lots of traffic. We had a few issues with the house and most were fixed in a timely manner. House was clean and well appointed.

An amazing property at an amazing location
Everything about this home is wonderful! You can’t beat the setting, right across from the water and easy to access from major highways. The parking situation is ideal with plenty of room. The outside of the property itself is well kept, plenty of amenities with outdoor seating and fire pit. The home is SO well kept, clean, and every little detail is very well thought out. The rooms are spacious and conducive to visiting with whoever you are traveling with. The kitchen is beautiful, large, and well stocked. The owners of this property have thought about every detail from wireless phone chargers in each room, to having cooking spices available and nespresso pods, to providing a very useful booklet of information and brochures to local attractions. 100% would book here again. The hosts clearly care about their guests and take pride in their property.

Amazing!!
We were traveling through Connecticut over July 4th and wanted a nice place to bring my sister in law up from the city and get some family time. This house was beyond perfect!! First of all, you can't beat the views this house offers! Indoor and outdoor views of the water with sailboats all around, it was gorgeous! We sat indoors and played games during the day and had wine on the deck in the evenings. There were fireworks all around, so a lot to enjoy without all the crowds. The house has absolutely everything you need. Beautiful kitchen with all of the things you could ever want to cook or entertain. Beautiful dining room to eat meals in and even a grill in the backyard that we used to cook steaks. Beds were super comfortable and one even has incredible water views. Every detail was thought through! The decor was personal and tasteful, and you felt at home, but clearly like it had been designed by an expert. Lastly, and I think the most important, anytime I needed anything there was somebody answering the phone on the other side, who was able to help us. The ice tray in the freezer was a little frozen, so they brought over a bag of ice and left in the freezer for us. Now that is what I call five star attention! My family just kept saying how beautiful the house was, and how they couldn't believe I found it. We strolled along the sidewalk around the sound, which is right across the street and had a very lovely's stay. Awesome!!

It’s ok
I’ve stayed in much cheaper places that are nicer. They charge a premium for the ocean view. I asked if we could check in early and they said “One moment” and then never responded. Then when we did get there, they hadn’t changed the door code so initially we couldn’t get in. Every towel was in the dryer. There was no extra toilet paper anywhere. There was a basket on the island that said it was supposed to have tea and maybe other things in it that was empty. It just wasn’t put together the way you’d expect it to be for that price point. They did send toilet paper and a bottle of wine but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Beautiful Home
Spent the week with my parents. Home was immaculate and well appointed. The views from the 2nd floor deck and from the sun room were amazing. We wanted for nothing during our stay. The dog loved the backyard, and having the gate to close the driveway made it easy to let her out off leash. The cat loved the sun room window ledge. We were all very comfortable.
