Family Getaway
The house overall was great. Plenty of space for six adults. Beautiful outdoor deck and furniture with water views. Very relaxing. During high tide the streets near the house do flood quite a bit. Access to the semi-private beach was a three minute walk. Nothing to do with the home but the beach area was a disappointment. It was extremely small and full of a tremendous amount of shells. Made swimming difficult to impossible. We wish we had water shoes.

Nice Home with a Beautiful View!
My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks in July and loved it. The view of the sound from the home is so nice. We spent the days on the sand and the nights enjoying the view from the deck. The home was clean and fully stocked. Loved the qtips and cotton balls provided in the bathrooms. Also loved they provided flip flops. We were sad to leave and will definitely stay here again!

The house was beautiful, immaculate and right on the water. I’ve never had better price to value in a rental. Sheila was extremely accommodating and I would highly recommend!

Lovely home: perfect for Yale graduation weekend
The property was as advertised. The check-in process and communication with the owners was seamless and easy. The location, for us, was great with direct access to the Long Island sound from the property. There is a guide that helps you get your bearings on the house and the check out process. This was all smooth and helpful. We are a quiet group, which included our small family and an 86-year-old grandparent. The property is 17-20 minutes from Yale, where we were celebrating the graduation of one of our children. The drive was easy and uncomplicated and the respite away from the craziness of New Haven was welcomed. If you need to be "in the action" or have parties, this is probably not the place for you. For us, it was perfect. Would stay here again.

The home is beautiful with plenty of room. All beds were comfortable even the bunk bed. House had a lot of extras. We enjoyed the fire.pit. No AC but a lot.of fans. Looks like they are in process of installing ac. Easy check in and out.Great views. Access to water is an inlet at the end of the street did not.look like great swimming. Our only disappointment besides the weather.. I would recommend to stay here the house was perfect.

FANTASTIC for Yale graduation!
We stayed here to participate in our son’s graduation from Yale. The property was convenient to everything, and we loved the chance to be on the water when we wanted to get away from it all! The house had everything we needed to make it a really enjoyable weekend celebration!

Three-day retreat
Only my brother and I stayed at the property, although it could accommodate several more people. The house and setting were lovely with three minor complaints: 1) the road to the house floods at high tide, making access difficult; 2) the kitchen was well stocked, but there were no filters for the fancy coffee maker and only instant coffee -- bring your own filters and coffee! and 3) the lounge chairs were uncomfortable. They should be replaced by better ones.

Graduation accommodations
What a great location and experience. Perfect accommodations for my family and large enough to invite others for a clam bake to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from Yale. Sheila was absolutely a pleasure to work with and made the logistics simple. Highly recommend!
