A slice of tranquility

My boyfriend and I had been looking for a peaceful place to stay for a few days with beautiful scenery and good food. This definitely fit the bill! It exceeded our expectations and then some.It was the most relaxing and peaceful vacation I have ever been on. Adam and Lizbeth tended to all of our needs, whether it was recommending places to eat or checking in to see if we needed anything. The cottage had everything we needed and even included some snacks and drinks which were greatly appreciated. They really thought of everything.The property is absolutely beautiful. The private beach and pool were a mini paradise! You will love your stay here.

little slice of heaven

We stayed here for an anniversary weekend away and found the property and neighborhood to be amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool and firepit and went kayaking in the afternoon. Enjoyed amazing sunsets from the deck; Adam gave us spot-on restaurant recommendations. I don't know if the supply of snacks is standard or an anniversary "special", but all in all this place was a wonderful find. Thank you!!

Relaxation

Our stay was incredible! The property was gorgeous- even with the home owners on property we barely saw them. We had full, private access to the backyard space- beach, pool, hot tub, fire pit, etc- all to ourselves. The property was clean and inviting and we will definitely go back. Everyone was so friendly and the area is picturesque.

This studio style rental was immaculate and stocked will all kinds of goodies. Our hosts were quite gracious making us feel welcome on their property. Branford is a gem in itself with beautiful coastline, great food, hiking nearby and the Thimble Island cruise opportunity. We will definitely go back!
