Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Branford

Staying at Amy's place was perfect for my friends and I while we're out on the North Fork for a wedding. Amy was very responsive with any questions we had. We were all very comfortable in the main living area as well as our bedrooms. The house was conveniently located to the wedding venue and my friends were also very happy that it was located near some pickleball courts. Thank you Amy for a wonderful stay.

Julie is an outstanding host! This house is perfect for any getaway. It was clean, spacious, well equipped, comfortable, and STUNNING outdoor area with a gorgeous pool. This is 3 FULL baths and 1/2 bath!! Two kitchens! Two family rooms! You had space! It made you want to relax! The kitchen was well stocked with any utensil or appliance you would need. It was private. You could really escape and get away. Woodbury and the surrounding towns were jampacked with things to do. There were many places to choose from to eat. Such a variety from steak, seafood, pizza, and American fare pubs and other specialty restaurants. Lots of variety/antique shops, flea market, wine/liquor stores, convenience stores. Just a short drive into Southbury you find more shops, antiques, restaurants, bigger, grocery store, etc. We also drove to a few other neighboring towns. All under 45 minutes. Friendly people! We had a wonderful time! Price is fabulous, house/outdoor area is A+ value! Thank you Julie!!

We stayed at Ryan's place while visiting family in the area over the holiday weekend. The place was comfortable and clean and the bonus of being able to bring our pups was the best part. The dog park down the road was amazing and the locals were very friendly. The location was great, very convenient to shops, grocery store, gas etc. Overall we had a great time. Thanks again, Ryan!

Ed was both proactive and responsive in his communication. Flexible check in time was a plus as well. The house was as described and clean. Great place for a family stay…

We were so happy with everything throughout our stay! The house had everything we needed including some extras for our kids that we hadn’t thought of! The furniture was really comfortable, and they had nice new beach stuff for us to use as well. We loved Walnut Beach and being able to walk to get coffee and ice cream. Highly recommend!

Laurie is a wonderful and generous host. Though we did not take advantage of it, she let us know that early check-in was possible on our arrival date. When we did arrive, we were greeted with a lovely care package of treats, including excellent treats for our dog. Really nice touches, and much appreciated. The space is clean and spacious, free of clutter, with a nice kitchen. We are especially grateful for pet-friendly hosts, and Laurie's place was truly excellent. Even non-pet people should find the space very suitable. There are no signs that other dogs had stayed there, the space, furniture and linens are all very clean. Great host, great place!

Very nice setup for two couples, a baby, and a dog - could spread out with bedrooms and full bathrooms on each floor. Comfortable space with amenities you'd want while traveling with a dog and a baby (fenced in yard, laundry, etc). Very walkable to all the shops & restaurants in town, and easy drives to wineries & breweries. The only drawback was that it was close to a fire station and the sirens woke the baby from a nap.

We stayed here in the entire home for a wedding weekend. Both units were fabulous and Cole was very responsive when we had an issue with the key pad. The bride

There are a lot a reasons to use Airbnb, and one is that you can stay in the most interesting places. That's the reason to stay at the Ludington mansion. Incredible property. If you have any interest in history or architecture, this is your place. We stayed in the 3rd floor suite; of course, it's not a good choice if you can't manage the stairs, but since that was not a problem for us, we loved it. The space was as described: full of character and immaculately clean (if not always new). It was nice having two full baths. The next-door church bells didn't bother us. I can't think of anything we needed that wasn't there. We appreciated the host's suggestion for where to have dinner and were not disappointed. We ended the evening by streaming the (admittedly cheesy) Hallmark Christmas movie filmed on the property and spotting furnishings that were in our suite. We wished we could have stayed longer instead of just over-nighting while on the drive from Maine to NC.

Very happy with our stay. There were pots/pans/implements for cooking and a drip coffee pot. I appreciated the black-out blinds. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of bedding. The heat worked really well, especially for an old building. All very clean. It's as shown in the pictures. The one thing I hadn't properly understood is that the provided off-street parking is only for one car. Over the weekend, there were multiple street parking spots available directly across the street, but during the week, during the day, those have a 2 hr time limit. Just something to be aware of. One other FYI... Not anything the hosts can control... but next time I go, I'll bring drinking water from home. The Middletown CT tap water was OK for coffee, but not so much for drinking directly (to my taste).

I booked last-minute for a solo stay, hoping my wife and dog could join mid-week, but logistics didn’t quite work out, but even then was a win/win situation. Bryan was kind, intuitive, flexible, and at ease with my changing plans. And over the next few days, you could see more of how his skills as a contractor, photographer, musician, studio owner, and long-standing good citizen served him in shaping, maintaining, and hosting this place, and offering suggestions about his town and the area. I was carless, but he lent me a good bike, and, walking-wise, it's ten-minute to the Elizabeth Morton Wildlife Refuge. So the main apartment is cozy, private, with its own entrance, doesn't even feel like a part of the main house. Occasionally, I heard a happy dog greet him, or a trace of his gentle guitar, but it was wonderfully quiet overall, especially the yard. The extra cabin with a sauna was a great perk I’d love to enjoy more with family next time.

My wife and I stayed here for a full week in December 2024 and this place is very clean, warm and cozy and is exactly as described. Sue was also very attentive to ensure we had everything we needed and parking in the garage was a big plus. I would highly recommend staying here. Mike & Nikki

Our 3 time staying at Amanda’s home. Beautiful and spacious within walking distance to village. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Visiting in the winter is cold but Monica’s place was cozy and warm. It always felt so nice to walk into a warm house. We were able to walk downtown easily, just a couple blocks from the Main Street. The water pressure in the shower is great. Thanks!

Perfect “Connecticut” destination for a restful, cosy & comfort “couple get-away” vacation in Middlebury, CT. Traci’s home located in walking distance to restaurants, coffee-shops and the Middlebury Greenway for a walking, biking & cross country skiing when it snows! Traci’s home has a private entrance to her “basement” with gorgeous window-views over looking Hope Brook river. My husband & I came up to visit my family at the annual Middlebury Christmas tree lighting. There was snow on ground, so we had a perfect “Connecticut Christmas”. Traci’s gracious hospitality, is the perfect “home away from” for a couple or single person to relax and escape the stresses of life.

Second time at Mark’s place while visiting our daughter at Wesleyan. It’s the perfect place - clean, comfortable, has everything you need, and super walkable to campus. It’s our favorite place to stay in Middletown! I’m sure we will be back many times over the next 4 years!

Great location and lovely place. Highly recommend to anyone looking to book this place!

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Thanks so much!

Excellent place to spend a week visiting family and friends in Middletown, Berlin and New Britain. great communication, very clean, lots of amenities and flexible too! Easy access, convenient laundry, a perfect home away from home.

Lovely stay in greenport! Short drive from major north fork activities. Can imagine its even better during the busy season!

The apartment building itself and the community is so peaceful and quiet. The apartment was cozy and looked exactly like the pictures . Check-in was smooth, Anna left clear instructions and was friendly. There is a good cute breakfast place right next to the apartment building. I was in town for a concert , it’s approximately a 15 mins drive from Toyota Oakdale Theatre. Very affordable and convenient airbnb , definitely recommend ! I would book again.

Such a beautiful condo by the water! Too bad we stayed in November, we would have enjoyed the terrace way more! Mia was so responsive and helpful with my questions prior to the weekend at her place.

Overall relaxing stay and trip to Greenport. Sherri is very communicative and her instructions and listing is clear and accurate. The condo is well decorated and clean and has everything you need for a nice weekend. One thing to note- we were aware check in is between 3 and 5 pm based on the listing (wound up being around 4) but it would be nice for it to be earlier. Still 5 stars though!

Exactly what we were looking for in terms of location. Great for visiting Sag Harbor, The Hamptons, Montauk Lighthouse, etc. The apartment was larger than we were expecting, which was a nice surprise. Safe, comfortable, easy parking, well-equipped kitchen-and more! While we only stayed for the weekend, this apartment would also be nice for a longer-term stay.
