Beach house holiday rentals in Connecticut

The Ashford Lake cottage was absolutely perfect for our sister birthday weekend! The hot tub, fire pit, screened in porch, and dock all were perfect for catching up, relaxing, and enjoying each other's company. The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and everything was extremely clean. Jason was extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I can't recommend this cottage enough and hope to visit again in the future!

We had a great stay! Home was clean and as described. Host was responsive and very helpful during our stay. Would highly recommend

This was our second stay. The house is cute and comfortable. Nice outdoor space with a sandy beach area and shallow lake entry. Jena is great to work with.

Lovely gem, right in new haven, You get a beach built into the house, lovely sand. You get the peaceful surrounding and a great house with great amenities to enjoy like a firepit, a kids slide & swing and a barbeque. You get the ability to order in food from any variety of restaurant from new haven. You get a nice host that helps you all along the way All in all great choice for a relaxing walkaway.

It was very comfortable living space a beautiful scenery

We had a great stay at the Airbnb. One thing I haven’t seen mentioned in the reviews or descriptions is that this beach had tons of sea glass! In our short stay we found over 100 pieces and my 4 year old was absolutely delighted scouring the beach for it. There are also tide pools less than a five minute walk from the house. These two things made the stay quite magical for my kids. Otherwise the location is great and the house was very clean. I appreciated the bed on the first level having a trundle as well as a door at the top of the stairs for safety. The house is minimally decorated which is honestly a plus when you don’t have to worry about your kid breaking nicknacks on coffee tables. A few nice throw blankets and nicer glassware would have added to the stay though. Overall we were very happy with this property.

The house was very clean, with a beautiful, large, well stocked kitchen. The view was lovely and it was wonderful hanging out on the deck. The beds were very comfortable. The house would be a little more practical if one of the bedrooms had two beds, so more people could sleep in the actual bedrooms. The pull out beds were not as comfortable and the bed in the loft is only accessible with a ladder. However, for a small group or people who aren’t picky about their sleeping arrangements it is a fantastic place to stay. You can’t beat the view and proximity to the water!

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.

Amazing time front of the ocean, enjoying time with kids and familly. The pool seems great but was too cold for us in this early time of the year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Mystic at this great home. The pool was the biggest hit, but the kitchen/living room area was an amazing place for our group to gather for meals and games. Location is spectacular as you can just park at the house and walk to all the great restaurants the area has to offer and if you have kids, there’s a great playground just a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again!

The home was very clean. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and close proximity to shopping and beaches. Gregory was quick to respond to our questions. Thank you.

Had booked a girls getaway at Tracy and Patrick’s place and it was perfect, even with gloomy weather! The house perfectly matches all pictures and descriptions and has everything you’ll need and more for the perfect relaxing and fun getaway! We even got a cute surprise visit from their furry friends which is always loved!! There are also shops and beaches a short drive away, we just didn’t happen to go visit because we were enjoying our cozy time at the home. Thank you again Tracy and Patrick:) we would totally recommend and want to come back!

We had a wonderful girls weekend at Allana’s house by the sea! When we had a small incident with the keypad, Allana was quick to answer my call and resolve the issue no problem. Everything was clean and beautiful! We especially enjoyed the screened in porch in the back to enjoy our meals. The view from the master bedroom and deck is incredible! We highly recommend and will be back!

Thank you so much for an incredible stay for my son’s birthday and our family get together. Everything was as described and the kids had the best time. We barely had the leave property. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you again for allowing us to stay at your place for two nights — it was an excellent stay! The location was perfect — we were just a short distance from downtown New Haven and within a long walking distance to Bones & Oyster (we ubered), which ended up being such a great spot that we went twice. The space was comfortable and well-kept, and we really appreciated how nice the area was. One small suggestion for future guests: it might be helpful to mention that firewood and propane aren’t provided — we would recommend picking some up beforehand if planning to use the firepit or grill. Thanks again for a great stay!

We live in the neighborhood of Liz’s house and held a 3 day reunion of 17 old friends staying both in her place and ours. Yes, it’s even better than the pictures! Lots of large, spacious rooms for gathering, wonderful outdoor pool with tons of seating, exceptional kitchen where of course everyone tended to congregate. Am already thinking about a future large family gathering. Liz was a gracious, helpful and generous host. We can testify from long experience living a few houses away that the neighborhood, beaches and sound make a wonderful setting for a gathering. Very appreciative that Liz and family share their house with others this way.

Beautiful sunrise/sunset from living room. Very quiet. Joann very responsive.

Rosemary was an excellent host and the home was clean, well stocked and felt very comfortable as a home away from home while traveling. We especially enjoyed the community’s private beach, using the provided parking pass, which was clean and calm water for children. After checkout I had left a pair of glasses and Rosemary let me know right away and assisted me in retrieving them before we left town which was much appreciated. The amenities for staying with a child were so helpful (changing table, pack & play, high chair, baby gate for stairs, beach toys). Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

This was the perfect place to stay for our weekend get away. It’s a great location close to a lot of restaurants, shopping, and beaches. We had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay here! It's homely, everything is well stocked, and Ken is very helpful. We would love to stay again.

The house is very spacious and clean, and best of all it’s filled with sunshine! Lauren always responds quickly and she is super helpful! Would like to come back in the future!

This was our second stay at this lovely home. It was the perfect place to spend a week celebrating our 51st anniversary! The house itself is beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and offers everything we could need for cooking, comfort, and leisure. We especially enjoyed the gas fireplace and the hot tub! We made good use of the local beach pass that was furnished for us. The two very close by beaches were well-maintained and very enjoyable. We would highly recommend this location and plan to make this our go to Airbnb when we are in this area. Irina is the perfect host! She is extremely responsive and reliable.

I would rate Ana’s home six stars if I could. Ana is an incredible host and she has a gorgeous home in Stamford. The house is so cute on the outside and we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. The furniture and beds were so comfortable, the space was clearly very thoughtfully put together, and the kitchen was better stocked than my own! We really enjoyed the private outdoor space with the table and umbrella as well as the fire pit and grill. Ana has truly thought of every little detail that takes a great stay and makes it a phenomenal one - from toiletries in the bathroom to labeled drawers in the kitchen to a smart TV to a thoughtful binder of local recommendations. Off-street, designated parking and the full size washer and dryer were blessings! Ana was quick to respond and proactively reached out to check in during our stay. Should I find myself in Stamford again, I’ll check availability at Ana’s home first. Many thanks!!

Great weekend! The house is located, right on the water. The layout is perfect for our group, 4 kids 6 and under, parents and grandparents. We would stay here again.
