Lovely home and location!
This home was so charming and in a beautiful and convenient location. The owner had compiled a very useful reference guide for local restaurants and things to do, and had provided some wonderful coffee to fuel our mornings.The whole experience was just perfect for our girls’ trip!
We picked this home based on location. We have a child going to college in New Haven and this location is perfect. The water view is an added plus.

Seaside Retreat
Excellent. We had a fabulous time at this cozy cottage. The owners have provided every amenity! The cottage has been lovingly remodeled and cared for. Beautifully decorated and great location. We would love to come back. Only negative is that it took us 8 hours from Maryland but that’s not the owners fault it’s traffic!!! You will love this place !!
An esthetic mixture of new and old, this house was comfortable and clean with a spectacular view. I especially enjoyed sitting in the front sunroom looking out at the gorgeous sunsets. The owners leave nothing for want and you can tell they really care about their guests’ comfort.

Beautiful Waterfront Home
Super clean and charming 1920’s waterfront home. Had all the comforts and amenities of home. Convenient location to Tweed airport and downtown New Haven. Better than any hotel in New Haven that i have stayed at. Highly recommended and will stay here again for my next visit.
This was a perfect house for our weekend getaway. The sunroom overlooking the water was by far our favorite room. Being able to disconnect while enjoying a beautiful view was exactly what we needed. Lynda is a great host and was gracious enough to allow us a slightly later check out to accommodate our travel plans home. We would definitely stay here again!

Truly perfect
We were in New Haven for our daughter’s wedding. This house was a wonderful home base only minutes away from the venue. So clean and comfortable with all of the thoughtful details that are so appreciated. Was able to exhale with water views. Oh and communication was super fast and easy. Thank you!
We had the most amazing stay. The home was meticulously clean and exceeded our expectations!!! Lynda was a pleasure and there was a binder with every detail from restaurants, attractions, beaches, and many other things. The location was perfect for us. The sunset view from the second level deck was breathtaking. We absolutely will be coming back!
The property is clean and well maintained. The pictures are accurate as is the description. It was a self contained oasis for the family and enjoyed by all. We were able to check in early, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a scenic and relaxing spot in New Haven.
We had a nice time at the house. The hosts thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable, with plenty of dishes and supplies and nice touches like Nespresso pods, wireless chargers, and Roku TVs all over the house.We had a problem with the water when we arrived but the hosts and manager were very responsive and we got it figured out very quickly. Would definitely recommend this house.
What a wonderful property! The home was simply beautiful and the view of the water was amazing. We had everything we needed and the home was spotless. There was such attention to detail. We would definitely stay here again. It was a most enjoyable experience. It was the nicest VRBO we have stayed in. Definitely a 5 star rating!
We were in the area for a weekend getaway. This home is wonderful. It has all of its original charm while beautifully remodeled for today’s users creating a comfortable retreat. The speakers, games, coffee nook and outdoor area were all enjoyed. The views from the porch and front room were our so relaxing. The location was convenient to both New Haven for dinners and cute coastal towns we could explore. Thank you for sharing your home.

Outstanding
Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay. Everyone in my family loved every little bit about the home the convenience of the location the view from the living room the impeccable condition. It was a true joy to stay there and it’s hard to make everyone in my family happy and we all were. The beds were comfortable all the amenities were provided phone, chargers, speakers, coffee what more could you ask for?
This is a wonderful property in New Haven! The owners have completed an incredible renovation, and they have thought of everything for their guests. You can relax in the front room full of natural light with a view of Long Island Sound, in the comfortable living room, on the second-floor deck overlooking the water, or on the back patio that is complete with a grill and fire pit. If you cannot relax here, you can't relax anywhere! The house feels like home, and it's a perfect place to unwind and relax. I grew up in central Connecticut, and the charm and thoughtful layout of this home really reminded me of growing up in New England. When we return to the area, we will rent this property again; it is simply perfect.
Spent the week with my parents. Home was immaculate and well appointed. The views from the 2nd floor deck and from the sun room were amazing. We wanted for nothing during our stay. The dog loved the backyard, and having the gate to close the driveway made it easy to let her out off leash. The cat loved the sun room window ledge. We were all very comfortable.

Awesome location and home in New Haven!
Stayed at this home recently for a wedding we attended. The location is awesome! Across from the water offering beautiful sunrise and sunset pictures. It’s also only 3.5 miles or eight minutes away from Frank Pepe‘s pizza. If anyone knows good New Haven Pizza this is a significant positive to the location!! The Home was exceptionally appointed, very up-to-date, and inviting. We traveled with a 6 months old grandson and everything we needed was available, highchair, portable, crib, etc. The beds were really comfortable and the amenities in the kitchen and bar area were by far the best we’ve seen in any rental home recently. I would highly recommend this home for anyone needing to stay in the East Haven, New Haven, West Haven area.

An amazing property at an amazing location
Everything about this home is wonderful! You can’t beat the setting, right across from the water and easy to access from major highways. The parking situation is ideal with plenty of room. The outside of the property itself is well kept, plenty of amenities with outdoor seating and fire pit. The home is SO well kept, clean, and every little detail is very well thought out. The rooms are spacious and conducive to visiting with whoever you are traveling with. The kitchen is beautiful, large, and well stocked. The owners of this property have thought about every detail from wireless phone chargers in each room, to having cooking spices available and nespresso pods, to providing a very useful booklet of information and brochures to local attractions. 100% would book here again. The hosts clearly care about their guests and take pride in their property.
We were traveling through Connecticut over July 4th and wanted a nice place to bring my sister in law up from the city and get some family time. This house was beyond perfect!!
First of all, you can't beat the views this house offers! Indoor and outdoor views of the water with sailboats all around, it was gorgeous! We sat indoors and played games during the day and had wine on the deck in the evenings. There were fireworks all around, so a lot to enjoy without all the crowds.
The house has absolutely everything you need. Beautiful kitchen with all of the things you could ever want to cook or entertain. Beautiful dining room to eat meals in and even a grill in the backyard that we used to cook steaks.
Beds were super comfortable and one even has incredible water views. Every detail was thought through! The decor was personal and tasteful, and you felt at home, but clearly like it had been designed by an expert.
Lastly, and I think the most important, anytime I needed anything there was somebody answering the phone on the other side, who was able to help us. The ice tray in the freezer was a little frozen, so they brought over a bag of ice and left in the freezer for us. Now that is what I call five star attention!
My family just kept saying how beautiful the house was, and how they couldn't believe I found it. We strolled along the sidewalk around the sound, which is right across the street and had a very lovely's stay. Awesome!!

A Great Stay in CT
We had a great time staying here this spring. We were impressed with the extra amenities like the book on good places to go and the propane fire pit out back, which we enjoyed. The views from the front porch were spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
This place is so beautiful. I loved the view of the ocean and the gorgeous sunrise and sunset. The space was clean and well taken care of. I’m definitely rebooking this if I’m in the area again. Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay at Seaside! Lynda & Pete were amazing hosts, the house is comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed the backyard, walking the seawall and the neighborhood. A perfect location to enjoy New Haven without being right in the city!
Clean and stylish home by the water. Close to New Haven and the major highways for easy access. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the small details like coffee and shower toiletries! We will be back!
