Nice neighborhood, close to restaurants and town. The river is close by. The street was quiet at night. The main level was perfect. My only concern was the back door was not secure, due to not having a dead bolt (someone could break the glass and turn the knob) and the screen door needed a lock. The laundry worked well but was in a dark older part of the basement. The rest of the basement needed a good vacuuming. Other wise it was perfect.

We highly recommend Kris and Dan's house in Branford as a great place to stay in Branford - it has been the perfect base for us visiting friends in the area.
The house is clean, the beds very comfortable and the kitchen is superbly stocked with everything you could need.
We'll certainly be back!

We loved our stay at this cute house. It was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is conveniently located near both the beach and town center with plenty of good restaurants nearby. The host was very communicative and accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Cute cottage close to town, main highways and beach. Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Directly on a main road for good access although relatively quiet most of the day. Sleeps five in two bedrooms. Owner very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Jim,
Thanks for the nice review. It was a pleasure hosting you and your wife. We hope to see you again in the future.
You are welcome back anytime.

Great location on the CT shoreline! This is our 2nd time staying at this lovely home. It is very well appointed and has everything you need to make it your "home away from home". This time our daughter and granddaughter stayed with us - there is a crib and highchair and even some toys. The backyard is fenced in and we enjoyed some wonderful early Fall weather relaxing outdoors and eating Al Fresco while the baby had a safe place to roam and play. Perfect arrangement!
This was a perfect location for us to visit and celebrate a family event. The house was very comfortable, neat, and well cared for. All our needs were satisfied. It was fun to be near many of our old memories. We would recommend this location as a nice place to stay for your Connecticut trip.

Mare and her family were excellent guests. They left the place in great shape and followed the house rules
The home is comfortable…the basement, which is not completely finished…was loaded w spider webs which was a concern..the washer and dryer were there…we paid for 11 nights and were out of common supplies after 3.. owner told us they only supply for a long weekend..would have liked that to have known that prior to renting..we had to shop for supplies..beds were very comfortable, tv selection was great..location was great..but on a busy street so getting to sleep took a minute! Kitchen was well equipped..communication w host was great..
Annual "trek" to New England for family and friends. This is the best location yet. Close enough to everyone. Great little town. Plenty to do and plenty of good seafood and beer. House was very easy to live in for a week. Very comfortable, neat, and clean.

This home is from the 1940s with original hardwood floors. Rooms on main floor are spacious, kitchen updated. One full bath, good shower. Beds very comfortable. Back yard large and private. Two drawbacks were 1/2 bath upstairs, and laundry in basement. As seniors, didn’t use either because of stairs. The driveway opens on to Montowese, which is a busy street. Overall we enjoyed the home and were very comfortable.
My brother and I stayed at this lovely Branford house while visiting family. The home was immaculate when we arrived and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked (and had coffee!), and there were plenty of towels. The home has a lovely yard with two seating areas. While we didn't have any kids on our trip, I think this would be a great place for kids because there's a highchair, booster seat, and pack and play (and the yard is fenced). I would highly recommend this home!
