Had such an amazing weekend with family and friends. Thank you so much for the house for an incredible weekend. One thing that would be helpful in future is more garbage bags, paper towels and cleaning products! Other then that no complaints at all

The house was very comfortable and spacious. The description of the second floor bedroom should include that indoor access to the third floor is through that room otherwise guests must use the outdoor stairway. As guests from NJ we would not describe it as beachfront. The view of the Long Island sound was beautiful. Parking was difficult with 6 cars.

Our family of 16 rented the house for a long weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday! The house was great and there was plenty of space for everyone! It’s across the street from a small private beach on Long Island Sound. The owners had a number of kayaks we were able to use, chairs, and beach essentials which was great and we had a lot of fun! We had one small issue and owner was very responsive so issue was fixed quickly. Branford is a cute town and lots of restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend this house!
