About this cottage rental

This charming beach cottage is sun filled, 500 ft to Sandy beach & located in the Short Beach community of Branford. It has a mixture of old world charm with new amenities. The perfect place for you to experience all the things New England has to offer. Relax along the sandy shores, take a swim or explore Long Island Sound in kayaks (2) or on bikes (2) which are provided. Excellent for walking, 2 miles of continuous sidewalks along the shore. Located on a quite inlet w/ sandy Bay beach, beautiful sun rises, all less than 500ft from the cottage as well as Yale Corinthian Yacht Club (Yale Sailing). Large open living space, great for family gatherings. Two excellent restaurants within walking distance. 45 minutes to Mohegan Sun Casino or 50 minutes to Foxwoods Casino. Many local breweries within town, 5.5 miles to YNHH & Yale University and approximately 15 miles to Quinnipiac University. So many things to do or just relax at home away from home!!

Loved everything about our stay. Catherine and Ken are perfect hosts and the cottage is thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed for our 2 week stay. Can't wait to come back next year!

Catherine & Ken provided our family with a beautiful home away from home beach side retreat while celebrating our daughter’s graduation week! The home was beautifully appointed for travelers seeking comfort, thoughtfulness, and convenience as the priority. Our hosts provided us with the gift of time well spent minus any worries. We are truly grateful for our hosts. Notably, Cat has The Best Junk Drawer ever!!

The house was very comfortable, updated, and clean. The location was convenient our son's home and the surrounding area. The street is quiet and located within walking distance to a local beach. Catherine and Ken, the owners, were very accommodating to a concern we had. We would definitely stay here again, if the opportunity arose, and we would positively recommend to others to stay at this home when visiting Branford.
