Walkable New Haven Retreat w/ Ocean Views!

5/5 Excellent

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!"

Cozy, year round beachside cottage just steps to the water

5/5 Excellent

Lovely home: perfect for Yale graduation weekend

"The property was as advertised. The check-in process and communication with the owners was seamless and easy. The location, for us, was great with direct access to the Long Island sound from the property. There is a guide that helps you get your bearings on the house and the check out process. This was all smooth and helpful. We are a quiet group, which included our small family and an 86-year-old grandparent. The property is 17-20 minutes from Yale, where we were celebrating the graduation of one of our children. The drive was easy and uncomplicated and the respite away from the craziness of New Haven was welcomed. If you need to be "in the action" or have parties, this is probably not the place for you. For us, it was perfect. Would stay here again."

Great hosts. Relaxing location out of the city

5/5 Excellent

Perfect cozy reunion

"We lucked out with the perfect set up and owners. It had all the comforts for 3 couples to stay and enjoy the house and an external reunion. Very clean and well kept. We had an issue with the code but the managers/owners were instantly responsive and no issue."

Birthday party

"Location, view, access to the beach in front, kitchen has everything and more, big living area supported our family of 11. Deck furniture nice and enough to support our group, also stairs to the beach had a nice mesh gate which in our case was needed for our 1 1/2 yr old. The beds were OUTSTANDING (I'm a comfy bed snob) . They had beach towels and games. We used the jacuzzi everyday. The communication with the owner was fantastic very quick to answer my emails. We have a big family and will absolutely stay here again!!."

Morgan · Casa al Mare Beachfront Retreat King Bed Near Yale

3/5 Okay

Good if you don’t plan on swimming much.

"Great view and quiet neighborhood. Water very dirty with debris like seaweeds and dead baby crabs. The beach had more shells than sand by the house. Bring water shoes. Beach is open to people in the area not specifically private per say. People on the beach were friendly. I’m not fond of seeing kids by my stays when I’m with 8 adult women trying to have a good time. Property was a little outdated but size was good. Not all available beds were comfortable. Owner was attentive when an issue arose hopefully it’s fixed for future renters."
