Cottage vacation rentals in Branford

I had a wonderful weekend at Andrew’s place in East Hampton. It was gorgeous, perfect location, perfect layout, and such a central location to everything. It was incredibly clean and organized and the backyard was beautiful for relaxing. Andrew was also a terrific host- he left us beverages, was super communicative and flexible and I’m so happy I stayed here. Hopefully I’ll rent again soon!!

Took a getaway to Martin's cottage for a long weekend and could not have been happier. It was immaculately clean and the hot tub was ab amazing way to relax. I look forward to being back.

Absolutely stunning views and peaceful vibes at this sweet cottage!!! Totally exceeded my expectations. Book now or you’ll regret it!!!

Wow!! The perfect peaceful getaway that is close to everything!! Tucked away off the road the house is quiet with a beautiful yard. The interior is both stylish and comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well outfitted. Andrew is a great host and an excellent communicator. We only wished we could have stayed longer!! The question isn’t will we come back, it’s simply when!

great time as always!

Martin was a very responsive host! The property was great overall.

beautiful house, great location and very nice and peaceful neighborhood close to the beach and the vineyards the house is very well equipped ! Richard was very nice and even find a little bed for our baby boy ! thanks !

Great communication with host, beach within walking distance was so nice, overall good spot within 30 mins of mystic aquarium and Foxwoods casino

My sister, dog and I stayed at the cottage for the weekend and had a great experience! Erika is a wonderful host and the property is beautiful. The cottage itself was exactly as pictured. Breakfast in the inn, cooked with natural and organic ingredients, is an absolute must. The location of the inn is great as well, with direct access to the Lantern Hill trail (which our dog loved) and only a short drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Always love staying at Ron’s. It’s so peaceful. Perfect location and beautiful Ocean views with a short ride if you need to go to town. Montauk Music Fest is a must. Amazing talent and great way to see all Montauk venues. Ron so great to have as a host!

Great stay! Fergus was a great host - we drove from Boston with our dog and were attending a wedding the same day, so when I reached out to ask for earlier check in, Fergus didn’t hesitate and had the spot ready for us! They even were kind enough to drop off some bananas for us before the wedding. Check in was easy, an adorable, cozy cottage, and delicious muffins for us the next morning! Thank you!

We had a lovely stay! The space was small, super cute, clean, and very comfortable. It was the perfect spot for a quick getaway—just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. Our cats and dogs felt right at home too, which made the stay even better. Would definitely come back!

Great place for my wife and I to stay while visiting our son. Super fun place with everything we needed. Close to the water and several historical sites. Easy drive to New London and Mystic. Would definitely recommend.

Angela was a great host and very accommodating after an unfortunate personal event we encountered just after arriving. The cottage was very comfortable and immaculately clean. Love the keyless entry. Neighborhood is quiet and we felt extremely safe. Deer pass through the yard throughout the day and what's more beautiful than that!!! We absolutely recommend Angela as a host and would not hesitate to book again in the future.

Meghan's place is exactly as posted it is absolutely beautiful, cozy, comfortable and did I say beautiful? one of my favorite things to do was sit in front of the big windows and read. You have everything you can think of close, at least 4 to 6 minutes away. There are restaurants, super market and pharmacies. But if you are like me and also like to cook sometimes on vacation the kitchen was equipped with everything you need. Highly, highly recommend.

Wow! I can’t say enough great things about Courtney’s place. It was a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle of NYC. We arrived to a spotless, spacious and well stocked home. Courtney had everything you could possibly need for a beach trip or just a comfortable, relaxing stay. This is THE best appointed Airbnb I have stayed in to date. It was so nice not to worry about forgetting something and having to rush out to the nearest store. Courtney was quick to respond and provided a welcome book with great recommendations throughout the area. Beds were clean and comfy - the linens were amazing, the bathrooms were clean and well stocked with plenty of towels for 7 adults and toiletries. The washer and dryer came in handy for us! Wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor space however weather did not permit. We would love to stay here again perhaps when it’s a bit warmer :) What did I miss? Don’t hesitate to rent this place, but I’d also like to keep it a secret for myself.. thanks Courtney!

Hands-down one of the most beautiful airbnb I’ve ever had the fortune of staying at! Every detail - from the floor mat to the picnic basket to the window placement - was perfection. The little creek and vegetal labyrinth nearby was also such a treat. Heather and Chip were very responsive and flexible. The place is pretty conveniently located, with grocery shops and restaurants within a ten-minute drive, though I would recommend checking in before it gets too dark since the house is a little hard to find.

Great, beachy location within easy driving distance of a bunch of great waterfront restaurants. Easy, clean, and very comfortable.

My family were coming to the commencement so we stayed at John’s place for several days. The house is at a very quiet place surrounded by woods yet easy to find from the main road, and has easy access to I-95. The house was bigger than we thought and can accommodate six or even more people. It has everything we need like dishwasher, washer and dryer, etc. John also kindly provided grounded coffee and drinks in the fridge. It was an excellent experience!

Fantastic memorial day weekend stay with family. Clean, stylish, comfortable and well located. Loved enjoying the heated pool even though it was a bit chilly outside. Highly recommend!

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.

The house was beautiful and very nicely renovated recently. Great appliances in the kitchen, comfortable seating in dining area and living room and multiple outdoor areas to enjoy the full river view. The location is right on the water and peaceful but yet only a few minutes to restaurants and groceries. The house is ideal for a couple wanting to have a relaxing getaway. We had 4 adults staying and that pretty much filled the space, especially with only one bathroom. But the bedrooms were a comfortable size and the beds comfy.

My family and myself loved every square inch of this property! From the serene views and well landscaped garden, to the sound of a stream to fall asleep to, the spotless interior and attention to detail…the pet bowls and bed, the labeled cabinets, the toiletries and games, we never wanted to leave! We last minute had to accommodate family members to be picked up later than the check out time and Michael was kind enough to extend our stay until 2pm so we could relax and enjoy more time together! We might make an annual trip out of this house and can’t thank the host enough for his immediate responses and making us feel right at home. Beautiful home, we loved sharing it! The first night we ate at the near by restaurant on the water, Housatonic House, also a recommendation on the fridge! Great food and service and BEAUTIFUL views! It ended up raining Saturday, but we still got a Hike in on our last morning at Osbornedale State Park, beautiful trails and picnic areas! Wonderful time.

We absolutely loved our stay in Clinton! The apartment was beautiful and clean with an amazing view. We tried lots of local hot spots and had a great swim at nearby Hammonasset. Communication and instructions were excellent. We look forward to returning!
