Home away from home. Perfect for family get together.

Excellent experience. Chris was an awesome host: informative, responsive, and very pleasant to deal with. House is spacious, meticulous, and has all the amenities of a typical home. We were very comfortable with 5 adults and 2 children. Kids (7 & 9) loved the huge 3rd floor bedroom/playroom with oversized bunk beds and lots of toys. Close to I-95, Yale University, Tweed airport but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.

Yale Football Family Reunion

This property was perfect for a multi-generational family reunion. The open and comfortable layout was ideal for group meals and after dinner games. The location is amazing. Walks to the Lighthouse was a daily occurrence and easy access to grocery stores. Very convenient to New Haven (5 miles) but quickly out of the 91/95 traffic. Chris is a great host. Had lots of great recommendations that made our stay comfortable and memorable.

We stayed the weekend for my daughters wedding at Anthonys Ocean View. The house is pristine, bright, cheerful, open and the views are amazing. The beds are so comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. Perfect lighting and setting for pre-wedding pictures. We would have liked more closet space.

First time to CT

Chris’s property was spotless which was my #1 concern. The area was super quiet. The house was big and spacious. My one issue is we could never get the back door to lock besides the screen door. The listing needs to be updated as there are not two king beds and no firepit. Not a big deal to us but the beds could be to others. Shawna

Thank you Shawna, I am glad you had a great stay. I have just checked and updated the listing for accuracy. The back door does lock, but you need to turn it left until it closes instead of to the right, thats all. Thank you for choosing our place. Chris

About the host

Host profile image
Hi There! My name is Chris and my wife Brittaney I just moved in to this beautiful house in November of 2021. I am a long-time New Haven resident and I LOVE this city! We hosted our previous home in Wooster Square for years until we recently moved here. You couldn't ask for a better space to entertain than this! We are very excited to share our home and ideally I would like to rent to families or large groups coming in to New Haven for special weekends at Yale, including Alumni, Graduation weekend, and local Weddings. We look forward to meeting you soon!

Why they chose this property

This property is located in a great area of New Haven that is close to the highway and just a few minutes to Yale University or Downtown. The house is located within walking distance to New Haven's own Light House Point Park which is known for its beautiful beach, historic lighthouse, and for hosting the most amazing summer weddings. Wedding venues Amarante's Sea Cliff and Anthony's Ocean View are both right down the street, making this the PRIME spot vs any hotel in the area. Connecticut famous beaches are only 15 minutes away. Best of both worlds, close to downtown and equally close to the shore. Entertain your friends and large family with an open floor plan and over 4,000 square feet of living space. Outdoor space nicely appointed for everyone's privacy and enjoyment.

What makes this property unique

Largest Rental in New Haven by Square Footage. Modern, open, and clean. The views are phenomenal daily for both sunrise and sunset. The house has an abundance of windows and natural light so you can enjoy the views of the Nature Preserve and Long Island Sound.
