Cozy Beach - Direct Waterfront!
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!

HGTV renovation! Steps to shops & water | Firepit!
Beautiful home close to ocean boardwalk. Lovely kitchen and yard.

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

Zion's Light Beach Cottage
We had a great stay at this cottage- it was a perfect size for our family and was extremely clean, warm and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the quick walk to the beach, and proximity to town. Hosts were very friendly and responsive but never intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Milford Beach House - Newer Construction!
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.

Ridgeview Suite at Stony Creek Depot
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!

Charming Fairfield Beach 3BR Cottage By The Sea
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.

Modern Beach Mood 2!
We have just returned from five nights in this beautiful house. The house was just as described, it was clean, bright and airy. The amenities were all excellent, including a very well equipped kitchen. Fabulous location very quiet and peaceful with the beach being just a couple of minutes away. I would love to return and would definitely recommend. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Thank you.

Akasa Ocean Front Oasis- Seasonal Pool, Grill
Beautiful and spacious home. If you want to relax , this is the house to do it. Beautiful views. The house has was much larger than I expected which explained why the cleaning fee was higher than usual. Host was very nice and accommodating. The house was well supplied with amenities.

Spacious 4 bedroom, oasis with ocean views galore
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!!

New Haven Gem w/ Private Pool, Walk to Beach!
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!

Spacious Cottage Loft
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!

Private Luxury Waterfront Home
We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. The view of the water was everything and was accessible from nearly every room. The home was modern and easily accommodated our large group. Yet it was cozy and beautifully appointed with all the amenities you would ever want. It is ideal for children with every toy imaginable. There was a highchair and a pack and play for our toddler and child appropriate dishes. The kitchen was fully equipped and had 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and 3 tables for dining. The beautiful pool and hot tub were in constant use. Mary is very thoughtful and assembled a ringed binder with important contacts and suggestions for dining, shopping and entertainment. Although there was no beach on the property there are nearby beaches. The towns of Guilford and (nearby) Madison are charming and well worth visiting. Mary was very accommodating and responded promptly to several inquiries.

Beautiful Waters Edge 1 Bedroom Sleeps 4
Pamela was wonderful to work with and always willing to answer all our questions and handle concerns. The size of the unit was perfect and the location wonderful. We would certainly consider renting again

Beauty and the Beach!
Lots of space to hang out. Beautifully remodeled. Loved the bits and pieces in the pantry. Had regular coffee pot as well as keurig. Well stocked kitchen to make our big breakfasts.

Breathtaking Panoramic Waterfront
A spacious property in a wonderful location. The house was exactly as advertised. Karen is an excpetionally responsive host. Our family (6 adults, 4 children) felt entirely comfortable there, and the kids especially enjoyed the pool.

A Beach House Gem
We continue to visit Rose’s house for our yearly weekend girls getaway. It’s the perfect cozy beautiful place to catch up with friends and relax. Rose is an amazing host!

The Anchor at Soundview · Beach+Ocean+Sunrise
Great! Met our needs of staying somewhere for a couple of nights while visiting the area. Just be aware that there are not that many restaurants and shops in the immediate vicinity so you may need to go to towns 30 or so minutes away.

Romantic Couples Retreat with Private Sandy Beach
This is a beautiful private spot. It was so peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very clean, bright with a very soothing color scheme. Lauren was very responsive to any questions we had.

Little Gem Waterfront beach home/ cottage
This place has so much charm! Clean. Comfy beds and linens. Well stocked kitchen. Everything you nee to feel right at home. Very safe neighborhood.

Oceanfront Getaway - Quiet, Firepit + Pvt Beach
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.

Cheerful 3 Bedroom Cottage with Fire Place
A house on the water in beautiful Milford, CT, this was a great place to stay during Easter break. Clean, well stocked and cozy, I'd recommend this place for a lovely beachfront getaway.

Waterfront Getaway - Norwalk, CT
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 Hammock Getaway | Beaches, Views & Hot Tub
We spent a few days at this amazing place and absolutely loved it! The house is cozy, very clean, well-organized, and beautifully decorated – great taste in every detail. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the fireplace – perfect spots to relax. The location is also excellent. The host provides bikes, and we used them to explore the nearby beaches and ride around the town. It was exactly the peaceful and relaxing break we needed from our busy routine. We would definitely come back! ♥️
