About this house rental

Located in Branford, this attractive house for $650 per night is a great choice for your next break. A beautiful Ocean Front 10 room Victorian home with a Full Wrap around porch overlooking the Ocean. *In light of the current situation, this is a perfect home for a staycation! The kitchen has plenty of space to stay in and cook but it's also 2 miles away from town center with plenty of restaurants to choose from. Each Bedroom has one bed in it. 4 rooms have Queen Beds, and 2 rooms have Double Beds, and a crib setup is available if needed. Three of the Bedrooms overlook the Ocean. We recently added a new private staircase that takes you directly to our private beach! 10 Minutes to New Haven and only 5 minutes to Stony creek where you can cruise the Thimble Islands and have Breakfast or Lunch. Within 40 minutes of travel time, you can visit the Mohegan Sun Casino, and shorter travel time to the Clinton Premium Outlets which include Ralph Lauren, Coach, Saks Fifth Avenue, and many more! 10 minutes to Yale university which is often rented for most functions at the university by parents and alumni.

Six unrelated friends stayed over a long weekend in September 2023. If there was a higher rating for location than 5 stars I would give it. This is a premier location in Branford, direct waterfront with wonderful yard and chaise lounges and a covered porch both overlooking the Thimble islands. 6 bedrooms upstairs- all decent size. Kitchen fully equipped. Note the pictures of the furniture- mostly antiques but we found it fine and usable. Not your typical vrbo style but for adults its fine. It's an older house with idiosyncrasies but charming. Other reviewers have commented on driveway/parking- it's a bit awkward but we had 4 cars and never had an issue of not being able to get any one of them out. Not economy priced for sure but highly recommend if you want waterfront views in great neighborhood and need lots of bedrooms!

Fran was easy to reach and very responsive. The house was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of New Haven where all the graduation activities were taking place. It was wonderful to end the day in a serene setting by the water. The view was incredible. I wish we had more time to explore. Off the street parking was a plus, We had a Suburban and a mid size truck. The entrance to the back parking area was doable but tight for the Suburban, but since we only had 2 vehicles there was room to maneuver and get the right angle. Overall, a wonderful stay! Thank you, Fran!

We stayed here in August 2022 and had 8 people ranging from 15 to 70 years old. The house is much larger and brighter than it appears in the pictures and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. There were a lot of bedrooms, and it was pet friendly which was a plus for us. Tons of room for us to spread out. We spent almost all of our time outside on the large porch which had a gorgeous view of the water and some of the islands. There's not really much 'beach' but you can sit on the lounge chairs up on the lawn and get the view and with water shoes on, it was easy to get down the stairs to the water. At high tide, the stairs go right into the water. Low tide you get a small beach area. In August, the water was really warm and it's very calm water so it's easy for swimming, rafting, kayaking, etc. The location was great, about 5-10 minutes away from various restaurants, breweries and a boat tour of the thimble islands. The only negative (and this is not the owners fault) is that, as mentioned in a few other reviews, the neighbors have a generator that runs on and off during the day for extended periods of time, which kind of ruins the peace of the back yard. At night it wasn't an issue for us as we had the AC running and that was great for white noise. All in all, it was a lovely vacation and I would highly recommend this rental if you're looking for a relaxing vacation.

This home is great for a large party. We had 8 adults and 2 children with room to spare. We all fit around the dinning room table and found a folding table and folding chairs (in addition to the patio furniture provided) that made it possible for everyone to enjoy meals on the very large porch. While this home is great for large groups, I wouldn't recommend it for very young children. There are lots of fragile and expensive items throughout the home and no age appropriate toys. However there are board games and plenty to do outside for older children! The backyard was spacious. The property had many padded chairs for sunbathing. There is still plenty of room for the yard games we packed too. The shore cannot be seen from the porch or yard. (Again, and issue for younger children, not so much for older ones.) It's a rocky shore, so I recommend water shoes. But the rocks are generally round and not sharp. The waves are minimal due to the location and that was a good thing for our family. Fran (host) responded quickly to any questions and readily available to come in person upon request. A landscaper came to quickly mow the lawn once, but Fran gave us notice and they were quickly in and out.

This is a big old Victorian house . It has lots of older furniture . We loved our stay because it was a beautiful location on Long Island Sound. We were visiting family that were close by so it was perfect for us . There were some tensions with neighbors which made us a bit uncomfortable so we were careful with noise etc. We were comfortable in the house and loved the sound of the water at night . Air conditioners in rooms were available . Children loved the beach. We had a very enjoyable stay .

I can't say enough great things about our experience at this beautiful home. The home is beautiful and filled with beautiful antiques. My children who are young adults joined my husband and I along with my mother in law and we were comfortable at all times. Francis was the greatest host, responded to all messages promptly, had everything you could need available in the home, including linens and cookware, offered to pick us up anything before our arrival. We couldn't have asked for a better host. The view of the water was gorgeous and the house is located close to grocery stores and convenient in location in case you have to run out and get something. Yet its located in a quiet neighborhood so we got to relax and enjoy the view with the company of our loved ones. I highly recommend this stay, it is worth every penny and we will definitely stay again. Thank you Francis for everything!

Fran’s beach house was perfectly suited to an extended family gathering, brothers, sisters-in-law, cousins, and a son with whom most of us had not ever spent much time before. It was magical, especially talking well into the night in the Ocean Room. It will be even better to come back again when the weather is above freezing!!

The house was exactly as described, and Francis was friendly and easy to communicate with before and during the stay. My family and I would love to come back again one day!

We had a fantastic stay. The beach is perfect for kids (bring water shoes as it's rocky), gentle and fun, changing with the tides. View from the lounge chairs or covered porch is even better than pictured. House is an old charmer, eclectically decorated and comfortable. No central air but window units do the job when needed. Would have been five stars but for one wrinkle, unfortunately not in the owner's control: one of the neighbors had a LOUD generator running up to 8 hours a day during the hotter stretches, despite the neighborhood having power. The houses in the neighborhood are close enough together that the generator was a presence in our house, and it unfortunately made it difficult to enjoy the porch for some of the stay. But again, that's not owner's fault. Overall a beautiful place to unwind, connect with local family, and relax.
