We can’t say enough wonderful things about this beautiful Branford house. Our hosts were beyond amazing and the house had every amenity we could imagine – even being greeted by the flag of our home state flying on the flagpole! The views were spectacular. The house was immaculate, newly redone with every comfort thought about and all in perfect condition. Any questions we had were immediately answered and our hosts could be more lovely or attentive. We kayaked, fished, did paddleboarding and swam. The views of the Thimble Islands were breathtaking. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. Restaurants and Ice cream shops were close by and we even made it to New Haven for apizza. Tom and Gerry took a personal interest in our stay which made it a truly unforgettable experience. Our family of six adults had plenty of room, desks, wifi, shade. We hesitated to write all these wonderful things because we want to go back every year!

If you are looking for a great family vacation, or a getaway weekend this is your spot. Looking forward to next year.

Hosts were wonderful

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Geraldine and Tom’s rental! We couldn’t have asked for a better overall experience. Geraldine and Tom were such great hosts and we could tell from the start that it was very important to them for us to enjoy our stay at their home. Right after booking Geraldine reached out to ask if we had any questions for our upcoming stay. An initial concern of mine was that I wasn’t exactly sure how close the beach area was to the house so she went out her way to send a video of what the walk would look like(which, by the way, was very close). We were visiting the area for my daughter’s 1 year birthday and for her to meet many family members she was unable to meet during the pandemic. This was a very special time for us and we couldn’t have asked for a more special place to stay during this time. Geraldine and Tom went out of their way to bring us a highchair and a pack and play for our daughter to use. They also left a note saying happy 1st birthday and a provided a variety of items for my daughter. This personal touch really meant a lot to us. They left us a detailed outline regarding items the house and also recommendations of places to go/eat(we enjoyed having restaurants near by). They were also available during our stay to answer any questions and were very responsive. The house itself was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. Even though the weather was rainy for the majority of our stay, it didn’t matter because we just loved where we were and were still able to enjoy the views. The neighborhood itself was also beautiful and we got to enjoy it on our walks/friendly neighbors. This will definitely be a vacation we will always remember and we would love to stay here again!
