An Awesome Getaway

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in a location we have not previously visited. Liz provided some extremely helpful tips on places to dine or visit. Our weather was great and we took full advantage of the property. The homeowners were very welcoming and personable and would not hesitate to return!

Amazing Getaway!

Adam and Lizbeth were fantastic hosts! Our trip was a great quick getaway, and the amenities were fantastic. The studio was extremely clean (the cleanest of anywhere we stayed). The pool and hot tub were great, and our hosts welcomed us with chips and salsa, smores stuff, and a bunch of great soft drinks. They made us feel right at home, and we would definitely stay again in the future. Thanks for a great experience!

Absolutely wonderful place!

We went down to spend the last weekend with our dogs, one of which we knew would be her last visit to the beach. Owners were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating, location was absolutely beautiful with the sun shining, birds singing, and water views. Every amenity you could think of was included along with welcoming drinks and snacks. A++ could not recommend any more highly.

Relaxing getaway

This was lovey property. The host provided a detailed list of amenities, and nearby sites and eateries, and graciously provided snacks and everything you could have needed to start off you vacation and make you feel welcome. Although the weather did not allow me to utilize all the features, I will definitely return when it gets warmer.

Birthday getaway for two

I took my husband on a small vacation to celebrate his birthday. The property was everything we were looking for and more! We had some much needed relaxation time. We were able to kayak, sit by the fire pit, go for walks, soak in the hot tub, visit restaurants, and tour the Thimble Islands, all without driving very far. The views in this area are breathtaking! Will definitely be recommending the property to others. Thank you for providing such a special experience.

Beautiful and peaceful beach

We had a wonderful time staying at this beach cottage. It was quiet and restful…which is just what we were looking forward to. We enjoyed the private beach most! The tandem kayak was fun and there were so many other amenities available if we wanted to use them. (Paddle boards, bikes, a hot tub) The property hosts, Adam and Liz, were lovely. The extras they include (champagne, a few drinks in the frig, snacks, s’mores) are thoughtful and were appreciated. The reviews for this cottage are spot on!

Relaxing long weekend!

Was looking for a coastal retreat to enjoy a couple days with my daughter who lives near this location. This property had everything from a super clean, cozy studio with fridge and counters filled with surprising treats, incredible hot tub with lights in the trees, pool to cool off and little private beach to launch a paddlleboard and kayak, or hang out at night with a burn pit. If you are just a beach person and want toes in the sand and to swim in the ocean, this area is not for you. Otherwise...it is perfect for 2 people.

The owners care about what they are providing. They are motivated to assure that they meet every expectation of the guest. It's just a complete package, as advertised. Lizbeth and Adam acted as if they were hosting family.

CT Beach vaca

The property is exactly what you see advertised and much more, beautiful setting in Branford, CT with private beach, pool, hot tub, paddle boards and bbq grill. The house has a wonderful kitchen stocked with all equipment needed for cooking, the living area is cozy with beautiful water views, the outside seating is very comfortable with a gas fire pit near the house and another fire pit on the private beach. The private beach association swimming area is beautiful to hang out or swim and dive off the spring board. The owners are accommodating and responsive! We’ll be back!

Couples Getaway Paradise!

My wife and I had an amazing stay at the Church’s guesthouse. The backyard is gorgeous and offers many options: Boating in the bay, two firepits, pool, hot tub, corn hole, numerous lounge chairs… The guesthouse is modern and well-stocked. The walls facing the backyard and bay are floor to ceiling glass doors that offer a great panoramic view. It also has a nice little porch where we ate our meals with the great view. If you have any hesitation about staying on someone elses property, don’t. Adam and Liz were incredibly warm and gracious hosts. As Adam put it, he wanted us to think of it as a five-star resort: and we did. Beyond the amenities above they were really detail oriented on making our stay amazing. They offered suggestions of places for activities and food, made sure the tiki torches had enough fuel, gave us their fishing rods, stocking the fridge, helped make the bonfire, etc… They were available if there was anything we needed without hesitation. If you are looking for a great and relaxing getaway it’s a must stay!

Best gift We Ever Received

I booked this amazing, fabulous, beautiful studio for my son and his wife for their anniversary. I wanted to give them a getaway that they would never forget. This lived up to everything that they ever imaged. First they couldn’t say enough about Lizbeth and Adam. My son said what first class hosts they were and couldn’t believe the extras they had for them. Everything was not only perfect but just added to their dreamy getaway. My son and daughter in law traveled to the neighborhood towns and again said the winery and the eateries were excellent. Having the beach and hot tub added to the magic.They are definitely returning next year. - My son’s final words were he had to keep reminding himself that he was still in Connecticut. If you have any doubt-don't -This is the wisest choice.

Amazing Dog Friendly Anniversary Stay

Stayed for our anniversary as we wanted a spot we could enjoy with our pug, this was the perfect choice. It’s rare to feel you are enjoying your surroundings even when in the comforts of air conditioning but that was the case here with panoramic views of the beach, cove and yard. The space had everything we need plus cute touches which made it feel like a vacation home. Our hosts even included a multitude of snacks/drinks which meant we didn’t need to search for coffee/breakfast each morning plus enjoyed celebratory snacks, drinks and smores! The highlight for us was the neighborhood saltwater swimming area which included a diving board beach which felt completely unique. There are plenty of restaurants nearby to enjoy (including some of the best pizza in the world in New Haven), though we minimized how much we left as didn’t want to miss much time enjoying all the property and neighborhood had to offer. The heated saltwater pool, hot tub, yard games and firepits kept us from ever feeling bored, plus having the option to kayak and paddleboard meant that we didn’t even get to everything we wanted to do when visiting for our 4 nights. Adam showed us around the property upon check in and made us feel like we could make ourselves at home. Watch out for bugs when outside in evening, torches provided and bring bug spray. We have stayed in many waterfront property rentals throughout New England and this one has quickly moved to the top of our list and one we plan to return to again!

A slice of tranquility

My boyfriend and I had been looking for a peaceful place to stay for a few days with beautiful scenery and good food. This definitely fit the bill! It exceeded our expectations and then some.It was the most relaxing and peaceful vacation I have ever been on. Adam and Lizbeth tended to all of our needs, whether it was recommending places to eat or checking in to see if we needed anything. The cottage had everything we needed and even included some snacks and drinks which were greatly appreciated. They really thought of everything.The property is absolutely beautiful. The private beach and pool were a mini paradise! You will love your stay here.
