Beachfront holiday rentals in Long Island Sound

WOW! Could not have been a more perfect stay! The setting was so beautiful, serene and peaceful. We had lot's of activity paddle boarding, kayaking, BBQing! Most of the time we were the only people on the lake. Early June was a perfect time to be there. It was just such a gorgeous and relaxing setting. The house was fabulous for our family reunion and ideal for our adventurous 1 year old. Our host was simply amazing. He had items delivered to our door when we had questions...even sent us a bag of groceries to make Smores on the lake! We hope to make this an annual event! We'll definitely be back.

Our stay at the beach house was restful. The listing was spacious, with two outdoor seating areas both with a view of the ocean. Parking was plentiful, right outside the condo. The beds, linens, and towels were were comfortable/soft. We appreciated having the washer/dryer available. There are a few grocery stores within walking distance, very convenient. The beach was glorious - keep an eye out for dolphins, we saw many, as well as other wildlife like crabs and birds. Dogs were not allowed on the beach during the day but the ranger said we could be there in the mornings and evenings. Easy location to get to JFK airport.

This house is a gem! I came to stay a week in off season with my dog, Rollo. The location is breathtaking, right on the Long Island Sound. We had a great time exploring the beach, looking for all the biodiversity in the birds and sea creatures, watching the boats, and this place is relatively close to an airport so watching the planes land and take off was awsome as well. We came for privacy, and I expected the beach to be a little more private than it was due to my dog's reactivity. But the neighbors did not seem to have issues with us, and once you are close to the water, especially in low tide, the beach is pretty open for all the locals. Walking around, the locals all waved and said hello. Not too many restaurants close by, but the Lobster Shack down the road had good food! Would stay again! The deck alone was worth it!

It was easy to find, plenty of parking, nice backyard space, the house was as described and pictured. We felt right at home!

Allana was very easy to work with. Always answered back quickly no matter the time. Open concept and everyone was able to be together. It was a rainy stay so had to be inside. No one minded. Nicely set up for games or conversations. Thank you so much!!

Barbara’s place reminded me of the way airbnbs used to be. It felt like home-away-from-home. The accommodations were high quality and clean, and there were even some tasty snacks! We loved our stay. Everything was as pictured. Stony Creek was wonderful, and we look forward to visiting again next year!

We had a lovely stay. Eddie was always very responsive to any questions and ensured we had everything we needed. The house is spacious and was very clean upon our arrival. The outdoor spaces would have been great if we had better weather, and the backyard had privacy. I would recommend booking with Eddie!

We enjoyed our stay! Such easy access to the beach was so convenient. You’re definitely better off venturing out after high tide to enjoy the most amount of beach and there are a lot of shells that make being barefoot challenging. We did arrive after major storms which could have contributed to that. The house was spotless with everything you need to be comfortable! We did not utilize the outdoor space but definitely would have if the weather was drier! Definitely would stay here again.

We loved the location and the place was beautiful. Its was nice and clean. Definitely will be booking again

What a dream stay! From the get go Vanessa was responsive and helpful with the booking. Our Girls Gone MILD Bach trip needed a home that would keeps us in vs out and this GORGEOUS home with it’s beautiful garden and pool/jacuzzi/patio made it the most memorable stay. We loved playing board games in the living room and dining at that warm long table! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed as well (plenty of wine glasses for all the Wolffer Rose we got) and don’t get me started on the book in the basement rooms. There were towels, beach gear, umbrellas, and all the things you could possibly need for an unexpected rainy day or to have a good time at the pool/beach! Also the walk to the public access to the private beach was a short walk through such lovely neighborhoods! I’m hoping to come back and stay here again! The girls and I loved waking up to the pristine garden views and the occasional bunny that would hop across the lawn! We were definitely sad to leave ˙◠˙

We had a great time at Julie’s place. Would love to visit again…perhaps in the Fall. Loved the balcony overlooking the Sound. Julie was very responsive to my questions. She got back to me immediately. I would highly recommend Julie’s home!

Jim’s place was an absolute gem for my inaugural trip to Black Rock! The Loft is incredibly spacious and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the meticulous cleanliness, attention to detail, and beautiful furnishings. Jim's communication was top-notch, making the entire experience seamless. One of the highlights was the extensive music collection, perfect for setting the mood during my downtime. The bed and furniture provided a level of comfort that made it hard to leave. Nestled on a serene, tree-lined street, the location couldn’t be better; it’s just a leisurely stroll away from delightful restaurants, charming shops, food markets, and more. I can’t wait to return for another stay whenever I’m in the area!

We had a great stay! Instructions were clear and the home had everything we needed.

Loved the stay! Exactly what we thought it was - extremely convenient and cozy. Plenty of beaches to walk to and the food options were plentiful. Would definitely stay again.

The view was 10/10, perfect stay

Great place ideally located next to town and the view is amazing. highly recommend in particular for short term stay.

Dawn set the bar high with this Carriage House. Fully stocked, updated, comfy, quiet, impeccably clean, high end everything. This was our first stay at an airbnb, I can't imagine they are all this new and this nice. Next time business or pleasure takes us up your way we hope to stay here. Thanks, J&B

We had a great time in Milford thanks to Carolyn's hospitality! We were welcomed with a lovely handwritten letter of things to do, complented by a well thought out guidebook of local recommendations. She even got us apple juice for our toddler (without asking!). The experience was full of little touches that made us feel well cared for and considered. Carolyn was responsive, proactive, and overall an exceptional host. The location and home itself were similarily great, with enough space to house four adults and three young children, with a simiairly expansive backyard and firepit that were a joy to idle away time at. We loved our stay with Carolyn and would highly recommend this location for anyone!

Immaculate, beautiful comfortable home on beach block with beautiful water views. Adriana and Robert were amazing, gracious hosts and couldn’t have been more responsive. Among our best Airbnb rentals ever!

We enjoyed a great long weekend during my son’s graduation. The house is an easy drive from New Haven (15 min tops, maybe less) but feels far away. The location on the sound is lovely - nice views, easy swimming, sea breeze. And we had plenty of room for grandparents and siblings - really an ideal spot for a multigenerational grad weekend. Other comments have mentioned the flight path to Tweed airport. It’s definitely noticeable when planes take off or land, but it’s a small airport so we only had a handful of departures / landings each day - for us at least it was not a big deal at all.

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 home is even more beautiful than the pictures. The decor is beautiful and it was extremely clean. We booked our trip for - family of 6 very last minute MDW and Mary was so accommodating and extremely responsive. As other reviews mention the beach entrance on the street is for private beach access, so you just have to walk about 5 mins to the public beach. Overall, the house is so beautiful and easily accessible to anything you may need.

John’s place is absolutely stunning! The deck and the dock made for beautiful mornings with coffee and evenings with wine. It’s a short drive from a few beaches or to the ferry to fire island. Overall would definitely stay again!

Quiet stay at Kim's place, perfect for a quick coastal getaway. Relax on the deck to the sound of the ocean, then enjoy the Guilford area.
