Summary: Great property easy check in, close to the water. No issues at all. Thanks!
Daniel B. Jun 30, 2025 08:28:47 PM
Summary: House is in a great location. Nearby beach was great. . The pictures were generally accurate and the house was decent enough for a night or two. Owner was responsive/allowed for early check-in, as requested.However, some reasons for only 4 stars:1) being behind the main house with long/narrow driveway, it was a bit of a challenge with a large SUV.2) barely any overhead lights (very dark)3) again being older, definitely some signs of water damage in various areas4) air conditioning window units are very old (mold/smell)5) Disappointed that there were no kayaks anywhere to be found, even when we specifically asked about them.
Terri L. Jun 23, 2025 04:15:12 AM
Summary: This Carriage House is exactly as described. Wonderful location and setting, just steps away from Branford Point. Hope to visit again soon!

Emily M. Jan 1, 2025 12:09:31 AM
Summary: Loved the feeling of being in a family cottage near the beautiful water and pretty old homes
Thomas P. Dec 1, 2024 07:48:51 AM
Summary: The carrage house is in the back of the lot behind the main house. Parking isn't ideal, but you're well off the road. Kitchen isn't great if you want to cook a fair amount but sufficent for breakfast/snacks. Furinture is what youd expect at a beachhouse, decent but cozy and nothing youd be concerned about ruining. The overall space is very nice and would retun.

Summary: Started with Kristine greeting us as we drove in. Was accommodating to our requests and was very quick to reply to our few messages. Clothes dryer is very small. Short walk to a great park and beach.
Belinda L. Aug 23, 2024 12:16:35 AM
Summary: Wonderful property and host. Well-stocked and homey. Beautiful location. Highly recommended.
