This was a perfect place for my family to stay while visiting relatives in New Haven. We started each day with a walk on the beach and loved making brunch in the large/comfortable kitchen. We felt close to all of our activities and would stay here again.

Our home is steps from the beach and was appointed for relaxation. It’s our happy place away from the city to gather with friends and enjoy the ocean. A wonderful respite that we hope our guest will enjoy.
