Cozy East Haven Home • Near Beach & Yale

10/10 Excellent

"This little house was in a great location. I was visiting relatives in Branford only a few miles away. Host Michael graciously allowed me to check in an hour early. The house was stocked with everything you would need for a week stay, including snacks and water. The shower was nice and hot. The kitchen allowed me to cook and entertain my relatives. The bed was comfortable. There was a cute fenced in backyard for my dog Oliver. Michael even handled an issue that came up with the house quickly. If you need to stay in the Branford/East Haven area, this is a fine choice. Thank you Michael!"

"This is our third year staying at this cottage and it's continues to be the highlight of our summer each year. Cat and Ken are perfect hosts. The cottage is a delightfully calm and quiet escape. It's decorated in neutral tones and beautifully appointed with everything needed for a relaxing time away. The living room couches are perfect for lounging and enjoying the morning light or evening shadows. Comfy beds and a kitchen that's a delight to cook in. And, it's all just a few doors down from a small, private beach."
