Beachfront holiday rentals in New Haven

Look no further! The Beach Cottage is beautiful, immaculate, private, and all things one would hope a vacation getaway would entail. This location feels “off the grid” albeit close to modern amenities/stores. Hope to be back soon!

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 were in town for a family wedding. Home is beautifully appointed, spotless and comfortable. Beds were super comfortable and my family loved the area beaches and neighborhood. Neighbors were also very welcoming. First time renting an air B&B and we absolutely loved this home. Would highly recommend beautiful and serene views from third floor balcony.

Victor and Kim were gracious and amazing hosts. I was celebrating my birthday and they even had a card, a bottle of champagne, red wine and fruit. It was such a wonderful surprise! The house was so beautiful and the beach is just outside! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything one would need to cook for a family; there was a convection oven! We loved using the grill as it was memorial day. Bathrooms had rain showers. Beds were so comfortable and it was truly wonderful to wake up to a beautiful sunrise and to just listen to the waves from the deck or even the living room. We spent a lot of time outside, on the beach. It was home away from home.

Easy to walk to the beach with kids. Multiple beach access point options. Back deck and fenced in yard were a nice surprise.

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.

Spent to my birthday here with my husband, dogs and toddler. Had my gender reveal birthday cake, outback under the sunset. Truly magical.✨ The backyard was ideal. Was able to tie the dogs to the deck with a 20 foot leash. It kept them contained to the backyard & away from beach goers on foot and other dogs. The dunes kept the backyard private you’re not staring at your neighbors. Felt so secluded. I also have some mobility issues and you couldn’t ask for an easier way to enjoy the beach & get your toes in the sand. The house & deck are spacious and easy to navigate with a walker. Was able to add extra days to our stay. Would 100% stay here again.

An amazing stay overall. It was comfortable for 6 adults. Spencer was extremely helpful throughout our stay — I had lots of questions and Spencer was quickly responsive. The house itself is beautiful and has that eastern Long Island charm. The backyard had lots of space and is well maintained alongside the pool. We also enjoyed a sunset evening at the beach which is just a few steps away. It was a wonderful weekend and I am certainly looking forward to staying here in the future!

Mia’s place is excellent. Exactly what the listing describes and more — Mia is a great host and super attentive despite us being a last minute booking, she even helped us through a tough time late in the day when I thought my daughter’s stuffie had been picked up by the maid service. Above and beyond!

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!!

Wonderful, spacious home on a gorgeous property. We loved the easy access to the private beach and close proximity to Greenport town. The house felt so homey from the boxes of records and well appointed kitchen to the toys and books for kids. The whole family had a great time!

Our group of 6 has a great time at the home! The backyard is beautiful and has plenty of seating. We didn’t get to enjoy the pool because it was a bit chilly for May, but would be GREAT in the summer! Would definitely return!

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.

Had a great stay over Christmas Holiday with family. House was big, convenient, clean and easy to get into. Great view of the ocean. Would definitely stay there again.

Terrific stay in a great neighborhood.

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.

Lauren was probably the best host we have had on Airbnb. So responsive and helpful and the place was amazing. Guilford is a special place and we will definitely be back and stay here. Awesome property!

Loved our stay here! The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Excellent location - nice view and very walkable both to Sono and East Norwalk. Communication was easy and clear, thank you! Only thing I would note is that there is a flight of stairs to get to the entrance which was a little tricky with our luggage and stroller (we were traveling with a baby) - didn’t detract from how great our stay was, and would still book again despite that.

Great location with private beach access. Cozy 2-bedroom slept our family of 4 comfortably. Comfortable beds, great shower pressure, and large yard out back. I’m originally from Branford and we visit my parents regularly. Will definitely keep Abigail’s home in mind for future visits!

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.

Semir's lovely home, located in a coastal Milford community with easy access to Yale University, exceeded expectations and was perfect for our family. The ocean views from the home's top floor and proximity to the beach were priceless; the neighborhood was quaint and quiet, and the house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed and many extras that added to our visit, such as a flower vase. After discovering the vase, we purchased fresh flowers during a trip to town and placed them in the center of the dining room table, which made our cozy conversations and meals all the more special. Semir was easy to reach, friendly, and accommodating. We will most certainly book again in the future.
