About this property

Cozy cabin meets coastal retreat. Located within steps from the beach, bars, restaurants and minutes from local recreational activities, breweries, wedding venues, and amenities, this location can’t be beat.

All that’s left to do is pack! This property backs up to a serene marsh with gorgeous views. Enjoy the beach, tennis club, kayaks, and outdoor shower by day or the firepit and gas grill with outdoor dining space by night.
Air hockey in one of the lofts.

The home includes a WFH space if duty calls and two private bedrooms + loft space with 2 convertible chairs that open to twin beds (fresh linens included).

I have a membership for my guests at the beach and tennis club across the street which is where the two kayaks I provide are stored.

Wedding stay

Perfect location for our stay. Only think not accurate is amount of adults who could actually sleep in the house. Otherwise the house was great.

Wedding weekend

Daniel was a great host and his place was clean and comfortable for our stay. We had a wedding across the street that added to the convenience of the place. We loved the area as well

Book it in Branford

We really enjoyed our stay! The home is decorated impeccably, the beach access is phenomenal, and restaurants are nearby. The host was helpful with making recommendations for fun things to do in the area. The best part was that the primary bed is so comfortable! I highly recommend this property.

Most relaxing location!

We had a wonderful relaxing stay! This house is beautifully located, with a marsh in the back of the house and the Owenego beach club across the street! We’ll definitely come back!

Wonderful, restful Memorial Day weekend

My partner and I had a great time staying at Daniel’s house. It is walkable to restaurants, bars, and a little fish market if you want to go out, plus has everything you need to stay in, too. We went for a run along the coast one morning, checked out the beach club across the street, and played many games of cornhole. The two balconies were great for reading in the sunshine in both morning and afternoon, and the bed was really comfortable. We’d definitely return!
