The view is to die for, best I've seen on the CT. shoreline. My friends and I were disappointed at the size of the property as it says duplex but it's really one-half a house without the large deck pictured on one of the photos. It does have a small deck on the left to sit and watch the sunsets. The stairs to the second floor are very narrow and not good for elders and the large full bathroom is on the first floor separate from the 2 main bedrooms upstairs. There is a very small half bath upstairs. It could use some bureaus in 2 of the bedrooms instead of the under bed drawers which are hard to use for seniors and the queen beds could use some new mattresses which the owner has indicated he plans to buy. The beach is rocky as described but good swimming anyway. In spite of these suggestions we worked with the owner to solve problems and had a great time. We only didn't rate five stars to warn others of these issues. The area in the town and Branford is one of the best in CT. and my favorite for fabulous views, shoreline amenities, restaurants and activities.

Needed a short stay to connect with family. House was fine, but bed in master was very creaky and woke us up with every turn. Also, check-in instructions never mentioned the lock box or its location. Directions for check out mentioned not stepping the beds or putting everything in hamper. Clarification would have been helpful. Great location though.
