Vacation rentals in North Branford

I came here in the dead of winter for a writer's retreat with a fellow writer- AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN! It was a beautiful and inspiring place to write. Perched on Andover Lake, it was too cold to frolic outside but that was actually liberating. There was a rocking chair-ottoman combo in the master bedroom looking out on the lake and watching it freeze while I worked on some writing was so peaceful and perfect. When I needed to switch it up, there was a writer's desk with the same view and I can not overstate how nice and productive it was to work from it. I am sure in the summer it's a really fun stay (there were kayaks and a dock for swimming) but I actually loved being isolated in such an idyllic place. It's near a few other homes but the road was low traffic enough for a cold weather run around half the lake. Marcie was super helpful with suggestions for places to eat. We didn't actually use the recs - but that only speaks to how nice the house was and how hard it was to leave!

We had a great stay. The house was warm and inviting. Very peaceful and quiet. Plenty of room for the family. Very easy to get to and very close to downtown. I would highly recommend!!! Steve was very friendly and responsive to all our needs!

My family and I loved staying at Gail’s place! We grew up in Madison and were back for a visit. It was such a great place and allowed us to re-live many fond memories of growing up in the area!

Had a wonderful time over Easter with my family and dog. The view was exquisite and the house very comfortable. Eileen was very responsive and even had hair dryers sent over. The house was very well equipped with lots of kitchen staple goods. Just be aware there is no microwave, but there is a very nice Breville toaster oven. Also, there is a large table outside for a group, but only a small table and counter seating in kitchen inside. We didn't have any issue since the weather was perfect for us to enjoy our Easter dinner outside. Overall, a beautiful home and only minutes from Greenport and wineries.

June and her bungalow emanated an inviting warmth from the very beginning. My partner and I were looking for a peaceful getaway with our pup, and we were thrilled to see such a beautiful, affordable, pet friendly option by the water. I then saw that it was just 15mins from my grandmother in Waterford, so we would be able to visit with her, too! We exchanged friendly messages right after booking, and I immediately felt confident and comfortable with our decision to stay at her place. June was incredibly thoughtful and seemed to think of everything! She sent a message earlier in the week ahead of the booking to let us know she was preparing for our stay and to share excitement on the beautiful forecast. She was flexible and communicative on check in/check out times, and wished us well throughout her stay. We felt truly at home upon arrival. You can tell this bungalow has been loved and cared for, and that many good times have been shared. Very positive and serene energy. 🌅♥️🐾

Beautiful home with lovely views. Great kitchen for cooking. We had 8 of us and the house was spacious and welcoming for the group.

Perfect getaway in Shelter Island! The pool house is as amazing as it looks in the listing :) Cute house on a beautiful, peaceful and very private green lot. Primael was very welcoming and responsive. She was also very flexible in terms of our check in and check out. Everything went super smoothly. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

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!
