Home away from home. Perfect for family get together.

Excellent experience. Chris was an awesome host: informative, responsive, and very pleasant to deal with. House is spacious, meticulous, and has all the amenities of a typical home. We were very comfortable with 5 adults and 2 children. Kids (7 & 9) loved the huge 3rd floor bedroom/playroom with oversized bunk beds and lots of toys. Close to I-95, Yale University, Tweed airport but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood.

Great Stay!

We were in New Haven for a Yale graduation and this home was a big win! We were only 12 minutes from campus and it was great to come back to a clean and spacious home to relax. The house is just as it’s pictured and Chris was excellent to rent from. We would definitely recommend for groups staying in New Haven!

Dream house

The second we walked into Chris’ house we were collectively floored! This is a goals type of house! Huge, comfortable, and beautifully decorated! Chris was an amazing host, easily the most accommodating I’ve ever worked with! He was attentive to any question, had plenty of suggestions, and was super flexible! We enjoyed our stay and honestly wish we could have stayed longer! If we’re ever back on the New Haven area we would certainly stay again!

Perfect Home for Weddings or Vacations!

This property was absolutely perfect for our daughter’s wedding weekend. It is only a 3 minute drive to Amarante’s Sea Cliff and Anthony’s wedding venues. Beautiful views out the front windows and very spacious to accommodate all our family and plenty of room for our 9 bridesmaids to get ready for the wedding. The house has everything you need and a very nice outdoor patio and 2 grills. Great for a large family! Chris, our host was very responsive and kept me informed about any details of our stay! Chris is very easy to work with and we appreciated his great communication. He made it stress free! I’m so happy we found this beautiful home for our special wedding weekend. I highly recommend this property!

Wedding

We stayed the weekend for my daughters wedding at Anthonys Ocean View. The house is pristine, bright, cheerful, open and the views are amazing. The beds are so comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. Perfect lighting and setting for pre-wedding pictures. We would have liked more closet space. Most closets were full and no hooks available to hang clothing. Otherwise, perfect plave for a wedding!

First time to CT

Chris’s property was spotless which was my #1 concern. The area was super quiet. The house was big and spacious. My one issue is we could never get the back door to lock besides the screen door. The listing needs to be updated as there are not two king beds and no firepit. Not a big deal to us but the beds could be to others. Shawna

Great weekend Getaway!

My husband and my 3 children recently stayed at this property with my parents and sister for a long weekend, visiting extended family. The property is an open floor plan and great for large groups. The entire house was very clean and even had some snacks in the pantry and refrigerator that the owner said we could enjoy. We did Instacart some groceries to the house and that was super easy. Once booking the rental, the owner Chris called me right away with very detailed instructions on property all of which were accurate upon arrival. Super easy and quick check in and check out process. Would recommend to anyone needing a nice place for a long weekend or weekly rental. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Chris!

Girl’s getaway - not so far away !!

This house was above our expectations. Spotless. Though it was very spacious it set a cozy atmosphere for our rainy weekend. Fully stocked kitchen which made it a breeze for our private chef to whip up a fabulous brunch. Large dining table was perfect for meals together and for game night. Comfortable beds. Huge screen tv’s equipped with all the premium channels. We ladies wished we could have stayed another day. We are surely doing this house again in warmer dryer months so we can enjoy the inviting backyard and walk to lighthouse. Chris impressed us by promptly answering all questions during our stay. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

Loved It. You will 2 - Trust me!!!

It's a long story but gotta make it short and easy. We'd live at this house tomorrow. My kids just had a blast - a serious blast. For 3 days and nights - they did not want to leave the play area upstairs. The house was organized, everything labeled and the little things (which are really big things) -- were all in the right place or some note to tell us where to find them - my wife enjoyed that -- that must be a woman to a woman thing. We love the house, we love our host and we are eternally grateful for the memories. See you next year. The Beach House (that's the name the kids gave the house) Cheers!!!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi There! My name is Chris and my wife Brittaney I just moved in to this beautiful house in November of 2021. I am a long-time New Haven resident and I LOVE this city! We hosted our previous home in Wooster Square for years until we recently moved here. You couldn't ask for a better space to entertain than this! We are very excited to share our home and ideally I would like to rent to families or large groups coming in to New Haven for special weekends at Yale, including Alumni, Graduation weekend, and local Weddings. We look forward to meeting you soon!

Chris and Brittaney

Why they chose this property

This property is located in a great area of New Haven that is close to the highway and just a few minutes to Yale University or Downtown. The house is located within walking distance to New Haven's own Light House Point Park which is known for its beautiful beach, historic lighthouse, and for hosting the most amazing summer weddings. Wedding venues Amarante's Sea Cliff and Anthony's Ocean View are both right down the street, making this the PRIME spot vs any hotel in the area. Connecticut famous beaches are only 15 minutes away. Best of both worlds, close to downtown and equally close to the shore. Entertain your friends and large family with an open floor plan and over 4,000 square feet of living space. Outdoor space nicely appointed for everyone's privacy and enjoyment.

What makes this property unique

Largest Rental in New Haven by Square Footage. Modern, open, and clean. The views are phenomenal daily for both sunrise and sunset. The house has an abundance of windows and natural light so you can enjoy the views of the Nature Preserve and Long Island Sound.
