Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Branford

We had a wonderful 4-day stay at Marie’s cottage in Westbrook, CT. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Marie put a lot of thought into creating a comfortable and welcoming experience for her guests. The house was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed. As a mom, I especially appreciated how family-friendly the space was. My almost two-year-old daughter was thrilled with the chest full of toys and books! It made our stay that much more relaxing and enjoyable. Although the weather didn’t cooperate for beach time, the location was perfect for exploring nearby towns like Madison, Old Saybrook, and Niantic. There were plenty of great local food options, especially if you love seafood. The neighborhood itself was quiet and peaceful, ideal for a relaxing escape from the city. Marie was a fantastic host... responsive, kind, and accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage and look forward to staying again in the future!

Yu's home was outstanding. We walked into a pristine, spacious home with off-street parking and a short walk to the beach. The amenities were just what we needed for our one-night stay. We would stay at Yu's beautifully decorated home again.

Amazing house that could not be any closer to the beach. Super well thought out house with very nice appliances and finishes. Kids and parents alike had a great time and will look forward to visiting again. A real gem!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space was sparkling clean. The host was incredibly responsive, kind, and made check-in a breeze. The location was ideal—peaceful and quiet, yet close to everything we wanted to explore. After long days out, it was so relaxing to return to such a cozy and comfortable space. We truly didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a restful, welcoming, and seamless experience.

Great stay! Although it was a rainy weekend, we had a great weekend!! There were close restaurants and coffee shops and the house itself was perfect. Great aesthetic to the home, very cozy and relaxing.

We were celebrating our 40th Anniversary so we wanted to treat ourselves to a stay at a beach house and this choice did not disappoint. Our stay was amazing; all the stress melted away the second we walked in this home. The view was spectacular and I really wished I could have taken the view from the huge kitchen window home with me. Owners were very quick to respond to any of our questions. Water was very refreshing, not freezing cold like back home in MA. Bistro Mediterranean & Tapas Bar in East Haven was a hidden jewel. We went there several times because there were so many yummy choices (and the prices were very reasonable). There is a small airport nearby so it was really cool watching the planes glide over the house. It was very hard to leave our home away from home and we will definitely be renting again in the near future.

We loved Laura and Dana’s Big Easy home by the beach. It was big and comfortable and every detail had been thought about to maximize our enjoyment. Drawers and closets and cabinets were all labeled so we didn’t have to search for anything or guess where anything was. Literally every need had been anticipated! Amazing. The beds and bedding and linens and towels were abundant and soft and comfortable. The kitchen amenities were awesome, from an air fryer, to a full set of bar tools and blender, to great appliances. The decor was happy and cheerful and creative and fun. There were so many places to sit and enjoy, both inside and out. Do not hesitate to choose this wonderful place for a visit of any length. You will love it!

Sascha was a terrific host and we had a wonderful stay at his home. The home was beautiful: plenty of space to spread out, relax, and everything was incredibly clean and tidy. It was also well-stocked with everything you could need. We appreciated Sascha's friendly demeanor, and he was a pleasure to communicate with. We hope to return here in the near future for another stay.

This is a lovely upstairs apartment about a half mile from a small marina with several good restaurants. You will want to get to the beach in Madison, a state park, rather than the Clinton beach which has high fees for non-residents. With that said, the gate is not attended after 6 pm when I sat and ate a lobster roll and then explored some of the history plaques to be found on the point. Catherine’s place was the perfect site for me to rest after a Hoffman retreat.

I was happy to return to this beautiful & peaceful location for a 2nd time, a literal oasis this visit despite the rain. The design and amenities in the studio are stunning and make for a comfortable, effortless stay. Thankfully a sunny morning enabled an enjoyable lovely wander through the trails on the property, a great way to start my day! Bert is a superb host!

This place is peaceful and beautiful. Surrounded by mature trees, a pond, and a clear night sky with great stargazing. The apartment was stylish and cute. Thank you!

The place is lovely and as expected from the ad. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommend

Exactly as described and perfect for our needs. Stephanie's place was very clean and well maintained. Two things to note: the front load washing machine just needs to be wiped down more frequently (there was a lot of mold I had to clean before doing a wash). Also, if the upstairs is being rented you will be able to hear noise (footsteps etc.) However Stephanie does provide a sound machine if needed.

I loved my stay here!! The backyard area is absolutely stunning!!

This was a great place to stay especially if you love the outdoors . Really loved the set up and all the amenities . Highly recommend for a weekend away. You won’t be disappointed .

Nice place located in a beautiful secluded house in a safe neighborhood. Gorgeous property. Our dogs were allowed and they were very comfortable. The amenities were exactly as described. Extremely clean and well maintained. The place was easy to locate and easy to access. It is convenient to many local stores and restaurants. Great, responsive hosts!

A wonderful cozy little place to stay! We will definitely look you up again when we are back in the area!

The cabin is lovely, with a great wrap-around deck overlooking a bucolic scenery complete with a river and cascades. Jessica was always helpful and responsive and the house is comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen which is unexpected in an Airbnb. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return!

Sticks and Stones Solar Cabin was a wonderful place to stay away from it all. The outdoor shower was surprisingly always warm with great water pressure, and the outhouse with composting toilets were clean. We enjoyed the sounds of the frogs in the pond at night, grilling on the deck, and playing games. Indian Ledge Park was beautiful with a wonderful playground for my littles (3 and 4) who were not so interested in hiking around the farm unfortunately. However, what I got to see of it was all beautiful and enchanting. Do keep your food in coolers or totes, as we did see mice in the home a couple times, as the listing suggests will happen. Overall the home felt clean and the mice are simply apart of the environment of a simple cabin in the middle of the woods.

We stayed for a graduation near by, it was perfect for we were looking for. I wish the weather would have been a bit warmer to enjoy the water.

I’ve been to numerous Airbnb homes before, but this home was by far THE most gorgeous and breathtaking experience I’ve ever encountered! The design, architecture, lighting, & functionality of the home felt so well intentioned! Every detail was well thought of and every nuance about the house appeared to have a meaningful purpose! The windows that allowed nature and sunlight to come in was purely art! I felt I was in a heavenly oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city and a place I could escape and get away from with my partner! We didn’t want to leave! We would be beyond ecstatic to return in the near future! Thank you, Christine + James for being such gracious & accommodating hosts!

OMG Place was so cozy and quiet...a great retreat!!! There was everything you could possibly need there and decor was charming!!!! Beach right near by and Rocky Point Pine Barren park very close. I will DEFINITELY return to this cottage. Very private and quiet atea...lovely tree surrounded outdoor space out front. Do not hesitate to book this darling cottage. Marina was a super sweet and helpful host! Thank you so much!

Had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Absolutely loved the cabin, the seclusion and being by the lake. Wish we could have stayed a little longer! If you love nature and a rustic experience with all the amenities, I highly recommend!

Perfect relaxing location for our mini honeymoon. Highly recommend. Hosts were always responsive and helpful.
