About this property

The Dream Location for Your Perfect Vacation

Location, location, location! Nestled at the very tip of Indian Neck and entrance of the Branford River. This newly renovated, 1000 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath, direct water front cottage(duplex) is centrally located for whatever your needs. This is truly New Englands coastal living at its finest. This location will not disappoint.

Approximate Distance - New Haven Apizza - Pepe’s, Sally’s, Modern(10 miles), Mohegan Sun(45miles), Foxwoods(50 miles), Yale(10), NYC(70), Hospice (5), Anthonys Ocean View (7), Amarante’ Sea Cliff (7), Owenego Inn (1)
The space
Quiet, cozy, cute, direct waterfront duplex provides it all. Originally, built in 1887, with recent updates, we were able to keep the original cottage feel while adding tasteful, intentional, updates.

The property provides a perfect amount of space and privacy to share with friends or family.

There are two bedrooms upstairs, both with queen sized beds, a half bath, the master overlooking the sound and 2nd bedroom with island/water views.

The main area downstairs comes with a bedroom that has a convertible queen daybed and direct water views. The living room couch pulls out to a full size with the main bathroom for both. So, two families of four, can comfortably occupy a level with privacy.

Whether it’s a family vacation, anniversary, wedding / engagement photos, romantic weekend, graduate studies, travel nursing, Hospice, fishing, swimming, boating, beach trip with the girls, golf trip with the guys, creative / photography inspiration or just some much needed solitude, this home will not disappoint.
