Vacation rentals with a kayak in New Haven

Absolutely Magical Stay! I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. The highlight, hands down, was the serene lake right in the backyard—waking up to the sound of birds and sipping coffee with that view felt like a dream. We especially loved the complimentary kayaks! Paddling around the lake during sunset was pure magic—calm waters, golden skies, and total tranquility. It felt like our own private retreat away from the world. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and super cozy. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a relaxing solo getaway, or a fun adventure with friends, this place is a hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back!

Bill’s place provided a wonderful location for our family of seven to spend our Thanksgiving holiday. The house was clean, uncluttered, and comfortable in every way. The kitchen had everything we could hope to find for meal preparation. The two sitting rooms provided delightful spots for reading, conversation or catching up on the television news. The upstairs bathroom was especially room and well-appointed. While it was winter when we visited, we could tell that this house would be a truly marvelous spot during the summer months as it had a great back deck and was truly only a hundred yards or so from a beach on the Long Island Sound. While it may not be the first choice of those who are on a tight budget, we recommend this home highly.

This is our 2nd time staying at Ninka’s home. We had another great experience. Ninka provides everything you need for a great stay and is very accommodating. Highly recommend. 5 star experience again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again ! Close to the many wineries and cute towns, and peaceful and comfortable to come back and relax at. We enjoyed the fire pit , the view from the dock of the changing tree colors and the flow of the kitchen. ❤️

Yasmina was such a great host! We stayed at the Airbnb for our wedding weekend. The house made the whole weekend a perfect one! Would absolutely recommend! Thank you again for all of your help Yasmina!

we rented La Spiaggia in December, and while it's mostly going to be more beautiful and better in the summer (since it's a beach house) it was still perfectly fine in the winter; well insulated and with good strong heaters. speaking of the beach I can't stress enough of how close this place is to the water; I'm talking literally ten steps to the sand. I would certainly recommend the place as a great summer getaway!

Beautiful home Amazing amenities and extremely clean. Will be renting again as my daughter is at college close by! So nice to know we can come and stay somewhere that feels like home …

Meaghan’s place was everything we needed and more! Loved the views, the waves, the sea breeze, the bird observing, the walks to Grass Island, the together time with family in a quiet, secure & well appointed setting. Meaghan equipped us with everything! She was very responsive to answer questions. This is one of those treasured memories. Can’t wait until we get back again to this special location! Thank you!

Had a nice stay here with a group of people attending a wedding a short drive away.

We spent Thanksgiving in the beautiful Joshua cottage. This was one of the best Airb&b stays we have ever had. The hosts were wonderful- making sure we had everything we needed. The spot directly on the water is magical.

Our stay was perfect! The home was so clean and Denise even left us a baby gate for our 1 year old. Denise was very responsive and provided great recommendations of places to eat and things to do. There is a private beach across the street but we walked about .25 miles down the street to the Silver Sands State Park beach so that our 1 year old could play in more shallow water before high tide. We would highly recommend and will be back!

Wonderful beach cottage. Exactly what we had expected with great charm and beautiful view. The beach cabana was definitely the best part. Suzanne was a wonderful host- very responsive and helpful!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this peaceful cottage. I enjoyed sipping my coffee looking at the view of the cove from the deck and the bird watching from the screen porch was a delight. The bed was comfortable and Gail stocked the kitchen with drinks and snacks! Gail's house is next door but the layout of the deck and screen porch offers great privacy. A perfect place to get away from it all and relax in nature.

My stay at Chris and Ann’s listing was the perfect last stop on my stay in CT……beautiful, welcoming accommodations enhanced by the natural, peaceful, setting of the salt marsh and wildlife. It’s absolutely a favorite place the next time I’m visiting CT.

We had an amazing stay with Sean and Jenny. The property is perfect for a peaceful getaway from the stresses of daily life- unique location, impeccable views, spotless and well furnished house, we were able to unplug and enjoy some nice quality time. Sean is a gracious host, offered lots of local recommendations as well as details of the house that were very helpful. Was responsive for questions and easy to communicate with. Hope to be back one day!

What an incredible experience! Was a bit hesitant after reading pets were allowed as one of our friends is allergic to dogs and cats - the cottage was super clean and no sign that a “furbaby” had ever been there. Had a personalized welcome letter for our party of 6, and favorite beverages thanks to advance questions and special touches from Mickey. Loved listening to the waves, reading by the fire and getting in a game of ping pong at the outdoor table. Every detail has been considered from the 3 charging stations to the guidebook and more. There are positive quotes and signs in the cottage and we were so relaxed and recharged. Will definitely book again. 5 stars all around! Thank you.
