Even though the weather was rainy and cloudy, we loved our stay at this lovely place!! The view is fantastic of the ocean from the upstairs & front of the house even through the rain & fog. I agree, it’s a million dollar view!!!! John has done a great job of decorating. It felt so homey. Best equipped VRBO house we have stayed. Comforty bed. Great area to walk and look at lovely homes. I highly recommend this place!

My daughter’s family lives near by- we didn’t want to crowd them. Everything about this cottage was wonderful- clean, comfortable and location cannot be beat! Kitchen well stocked- really-wouldn’t change a thing. Want to come back when it’s warm enough to use the beach. Highly recommend

This house is absolutely perfect for a family with small children. There was so many kids toys and sand toys. It kept the kids so entertained! The little beach is so cute and wonderful for little kids. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s even better in person!

This rental is the best one we have stayed at yet! The house was amazing stocked. All the paper goods, cleaning/laundry supplies, children's toys/books, beach toys/inflatables, bath linens, bedding, kitchen goods, etc. that you could possibly need! The location was impossible to beat, the private but, shared community, beach was just steps from the back deck. Everyone in the neighborhood was incredibly welcoming and friendly! Our stay was everything we hoped for and more!

Our week here was just perfect! We are originally from Connecticut, and we’re visiting friends and family this week. It was the perfect house to hang out and by ourselves, or invite local friends and family over for some beach time. The house is an old-fashioned Connecticut shoreline beach house which is exactly what we were looking for. It is clean and very well appointed with many amenities including a fully functioning kitchen, plenty of towels, and comfortable bedding. Check in was easy and John was super helpful with any questions we had. The neighborhood is very local, and we met a lot of great people who were very welcoming of us. We cannot wait to come back and stay again!

A stay at Algonquin is like stepping back in time (albeit it with cable and great wifi). The beautiful vintage cottage has a million dollar view and the location is so peaceful. We made many new friends as we hung out on the patio all day, literally steps from the beach. Everyone in the neighborhood seems to know each other through families that go back for generations, yet made us newcomers feel very welcome. The cottage had everything we needed and the owners were very responsive to any inquiries. The house is cozy, relaxed and comfortable. We biked, kayaked and floated in the sound every day: all the equipment was there for us! We took endless walks around the neighborhood, and found ourselves at Sunset Beach each night to, of course, watch the sunset. We made most our meals at the house, which was well equipped for preparing everything, and enjoyed dining overlooking the LI Sound. (One shout-out to The Stand in Branford - we had two great meals there, including on BBQ night - what a fun atmosphere!) I can't think of a thing that was missing from our wonderful stay. We were so fortunate to find this treasure and dream of returning soon.

Our family enjoyed a beautiful sunny week steps away from the beach at this house. The location was perfect for our 2 year old twins to play at the beach for a little while and then stay close to the house without having to lug everything home. The view is priceless and very relaxing.

We had a wonderful time at this charming home on the Long Island Sound. The neighborhood is perfect for walking or biking. The water was calm and the provided kayaks were a huge hit. Beach access is literally out the back door. The kids, ages 8-13, all loved it and have already asked to come back next summer! This home has everything you could need, rustic New England charm and homeowners who were so great. Can’t wait to come back!

My friends and I just got back from a beautiful, fun filled, weekend get away at John's beach home. He was a great Host, always available by cell phone for even the smallest questions. There were beautiful fresh flowers in vases, upon checking in to the home. Very welcoming!! The men in our group fished from the beach outfront. We ordered fresh caught lobster from a local resident, and we had perfect weather all weekend. The home is charming, welcoming, spotless, and had every little thing you could think of to make it feel like home! (I WISH this was my home!!) We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great weekend of Rest & Relaxation!

Another great stay. Our family looked forward to this all year, and it was great! John was as conscientious as always. All ages of our expanding family enjoyed all sorts of activities.

This was the perfect place for a long weekend. John, the owner, was super - both helpful and conscientious to a fault. The house was charming and had everything one could need from plenty of fresh linens, a huge master bedroom with a killer view and free wi-fi, even a spare pullout cot for that extra guest. The private beach is small, but perfect for our small child - clean, safe and only 10 steps from the back door. We definitely look forward to the chance to stay again, and hopefully without the 2 days of rain we had. But that's not the fault of the house or the owner. Jeff

What a great place to get family together. Everything we could possibly need was provided. Even the weather cooperated! Would recommend to anyone who wants to be near (and in) the water; the view is fantastic. Neighbors are great and the house was clean, comfortable, and roomy. Can't wait to do it again next year!

We rented to catch up with 6 local and out-of-state siblings and Mom for 3 weeks. Couldn't have picked a better setting. There wasn't one thing we needed that was not in the house, and John checked in to see if we were comfortable. What a great place to be to swim, walk, talk, and eat! Would rerent in a New York minute!

John, the owner, a super pleasant and accommodating guy. He returned calls immediately and has the best "stocked" house you can imagine! From the kitchen to the the outdoor grill, to linens, children's toys and games and first aid supplies, towels and even toothpicks in the kitchen! The location is ideal - right out the back door to the beach with a nice yard in between. A great choice!! JeanandJohn
