Holiday rentals with beach access in Connecticut

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clean, Comfortable, and Thoughtfully Prepared! We had a great stay! The place was spotless, quiet, and exactly what we needed for a few nights of good sleep and hot showers. It was clear that the host put thought into making guests feel welcome—there was a mini chocolate bar and a bottle of water waiting for each of us when we arrived, which was such a kind touch after a long day of travel. Check-in was smooth, the bed was comfortable, and everything worked perfectly. While we didn’t spend much time there beyond resting, it was the perfect place to recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and cozy spot!

I loved Johanna’s place, it was perfect for our stay-there is a great spacious backyard and charming surroundings-I was able to easily take my dog for a walk. So close to a lot of shopping yet on a backroad so very quiet and peaceful.

We had such a fun and memorable stay at this unique home! The layout was so interesting ,with a spiral staircase leading up to the attic, where there were two cozy rooms and a small library that we absolutely loved exploring. It added such a charming touch to the whole experience. The house was incredibly spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. The views of the beach were absolutely beautiful …waking up to that was such a treat! The owner was lovely -very pleasant, helpful, and gave us some great recommendations on things to do in the area, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a wonderful stay in a one-of-a-kind house, and we’d absolutely love to come back again!

I love this place. Perfect but what we were looking for. Walking distance to access beach. Overlooking the pier. Very clean and check in with.

This was our second stay at JoAnn's place and everything worked out great. Her place is comfortable, clean and well located for our needs.

It was wonderful place to stay in Branford!

Very cozy and clean place to stay. Hospitality was great!

It was really good location and parking for my car clean very quiet and very good place I will comeback again

There’s so much to love about this charming open plan beach cottage! We especially enjoyed the water views, hearing the birds, and eating on the breezy porch. It was sparkling clean and stocked with everything you’d need, from comfortable beds and towels to many thoughtful essentials like hand and dish soaps, tea and coffee pods, paper towels/toilet paper, and shampoo/conditioner. Eileen is a gracious and responsive host — she was particularly understanding when we had to reschedule our visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Eileen, and we hope to return!

A gem of a home if you’re looking for a waterfront property with great lake access. David’s home is well stocked with everything you need - from baking to cooking , from laundry to great choices of board games , a nice library if reading by the water is what you care to do . If you’re a bass fisherman like me , you have direct access to Squantz Pond, which can be a great fishing alternative to nearby Candlewood Lake. The property is close to the main road and traffic can be a nuisance to folks who are not used to it . City folks like me don’t mind it. David was a great host , very responsive . There was a slight miscommunication during check in , but that was taken care of right away . My family hopes to come back again . BTW, for those who don’t know how to play the piano , take some brief lessons before coming and impress your folks. Joe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space was sparkling clean. The host was incredibly responsive, kind, and made check-in a breeze. The location was ideal—peaceful and quiet, yet close to everything we wanted to explore. After long days out, it was so relaxing to return to such a cozy and comfortable space. We truly didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a restful, welcoming, and seamless experience.

Beautiful house , location and comfortable. Great area, highly recommend .

Nice little getaway, very clean and comfortable. It is located behind a main home so not completely private but we had no issues, would stay again!

I have stayed at lots of places in the last few years . . . and this place ranks right at the top. It is beyond beautiful. The water views from the living room and both bedrooms made it hard to leave and come home. It's actually even more amazing than the pictures. Don't think twice! Book this place now!

I had the most amazing stay at this Airbnb beach house. The views were absolutely immaculate, turning every moment into a picture perfect scene. The property was not only impeccably clean but also radiated a sense of peacefulness that immediately helped me disconnect from the hustle of daily life. Every detail was thoughtfully curated from the comfortable bedding that guaranteed a night of uninterrupted sleep to the high quality toiletries that added a touch of luxury to my routine. The well-equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals whenever I wished, and the fast WiFi ensured that I could seamlessly blend work and leisure as needed. A true highlight was the friendly welcome with a customized snack basket that set a warm, personal tone right from the start. Additional amenities, such as a cozy fireplace perfect for evening gatherings, stylish decor that elevated the overall ambiance, and easy access to local attractions, truly made my stay unforgettable. I will be returning.

What a great place to stay! Beautiful view from the house, which was also gorgeous. Well decorated and clean! A short drive into town where there are a ton of great restaurants. Loved how easy it was to get to the beach from here as well.

The location is fantastic, the beach is wide, sandy, well kept, with a couple bar/restaurants just a short walk. The room is compact but was very clean with a comfy bed and good water pressure for showering off the sand. Host is responsive. Checkin instructions are clear and worth paying close attention to the because the blocks between shore rd and the beach only interconnect within each beach club.

Lisa and I enjoyed our stay at Laurens place. Felt right at home. Very clean, open space. We had the best time and did not want to leave. We will be back for sure.

This was a great place to reset. I will say, don't get intimidated when you 1st walk in. The floors are a bit wonky and the walls are very thin. But I never felt more at home than when I saw my space. The neighbors were so friendly and the walk to the beach was about a block. Though it was cold we truly enjoyed the beach. And walked down there multiple times a day. There is also a gas station and convenience store 3min driving and very walkable.

We had a pleasant time at Peter's place. He was a great host and was very responsive. It was just what we needed for some rest and relaxation on the beach after a week of hiking in the white mountains. Would definitely stay here again!

Very simple apartment- clean, airy, and comfortable. You can see the ocean from the living room and kitchen. The neighborhood is very sweet and full of families. The beach is so close we could bring our morning coffee . We rode our bikes to some of the trails at Rocky neck State Park, which also has a beautiful picnic area and beach. The living room, bedroom, and dining room were very quiet however, you could hear the people next-door when you were in the kitchen. I also think the person next-door just happened to have a loud voice. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Thank you for the stay. Price, location, communication and apartment were all top notch. We had a great week, definitely recommend, hope to be back.

Andrew’s place was awesome. Just steps to a beautiful pool and the ocean! Couldn’t have asked for a better place.

We had a wonderful stay! Our unit was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Sherri was super accommodating of our family and very responsive.
