About this house rental
Built in the 1800’s this cottage is one of the originals on the point and full of family history. There are only 9 homes in this private beachfront community that sits on Long Island Sound. Enjoy tennis court, diving board, dock, fishing, water sports and of course simply relaxing on the beach or if you want to venture out of this quiet wonderland there are plenty of things to do within 5 miles of our compound. Take a train ride and see the wetlands, hike the trails or do some shopping in Branford. If you want to travel a little further, Mystic Seaport is a great day trip and of course New Haven is full of festivals, food and cultural events.

Wonderful historic cottage on a rustic, quiet tucked away part of Branford. We came with our two kids (10 and 5) who enjoyed exploring the woods, and the beach. The home and kitchen was thoughtfully appointed with what we needed for our stay. Access to the beach, the swimming point, kayaks, fire pit were great. If you’re looking for a stay that is more “as Branford was”, this is a great spot.

Loved the historic house and private beach and great accommodations. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking. We used the ac, but had to get used to the noise in downstairs bedroom. The neighbors were friendly and helpful. The location was great for meeting old friends in CT.

We spent 10 days in August 2024 and wish we could've stayed longer. The cottage reminds me of the cottages on Cape Cod that we used to visit our grandparents in. Old world charm! A quick walk across the street was the private beach and what a beauty it is.
We used the kayaks and swam in the beautiful cove area. Relaxing and lovely!
We came during a very hot spell and appreciated that all the bedrooms were air conditioned. If possible, l might recommend one for the living room/ kitchen area. All around a wonderful stay and hope to come back soon. Thanks Gwyn for sharing your bit of paradise!

We enjoyed our stay at Killans Point.
The cottage was located on a private road with only a few other houses. We met a few of the neighbours who were all very friendly and helpful.
The rooms were beautifully presented although one chest of drawers could do with some new knobs. We enjoyed our time with the kayaks and paddle boards, especially watching the osprey fishing in the Sound. We made full use of the games in the cupboard, particularly enjoying Sequence.
The kitchen was well appointed with lots of equipment and Tupperware for storage, along with food bags. The fridge was a generous size. Supermarkets were nearby with a selection of Aldi, Walmart and Big Y, along with a CVS pharmacy only short drive away.
We would absolutely recommend to friends and family.
