Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Branford

This is our second visit in the Recycle House. It’s such a lovely oasis. We love all the unique touches and creative uses of materials throughout the house. The location just steps from the charming town of Chester could not be better. The perfect CT weekend getaway!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

The pool house is so cute and the outdoor patio is gorgeous and the perfect place to relax. Great place to stay if you want to stay near New Haven but also want to enjoy quiet away from the city. Sue is a responsive and very generous host!

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!

Meaghan was a wonderful host who was very prompt, kind, and respectful of privacy. The house itself was stylish, comfortable, and modern while being kid friendly which is a tough thing to achieve in any home let alone an Airbnb. The view from the house was an absolute highlight! We had a great time!

Betsy's cabin was fantastic. It is even more charming in real life than in the photos. The directions getting there were perfect, the cabin was super clean, and Betsy had left snacks and water for us and for our dogs. We were in town for a family event, but did take some time to explore. We ate at the Oxford House, which had a patio that allowed our dogs to go with us. We had great hikes at Southford Falls State Park and Kettletown State Park (if you're from out of state, you have to pay a fee to enter Kettlewood). It was a quick trip; Betsy's cabin was a great spot for us to make home for 2 nights.

We were traveling to CT for a funeral and our moods were super down in the dumps to begin with. Staying at an AirBnB often feels much more comfortable and familiar to us as a family and we are so glad to have found this adorable cottage with an amazing host. We received super clear instructions on how to access the home and how best to leave it upon check out. The space was clean, comfortable and spacious for the 3 of us plus our dog. It is a short walk to the beach and in a very safe and hospitable area. Major needs, great restaurants and grocery are all a short drive away and very convenient. Kristine was communicative and responsive throughout our stay and was very friendly. It truly felt like home away from home which is exactly what we were looking for. A bonus- the water pressure in the shower is phenomenal! Would likely stay there again if we find ourselves visiting Branford in the future. Thank you Kristine!

Charming house in a nice neighborhood. We didn’t have a car rented but could walk to some restaurants (about a mile or so away). Hot tub and outdoor area was nice. Attended a graduation at Yale University and could easily Uber there.

The pool house was cozy and clean and the bed was comfy. John gave us restaurant suggestions and when the TV acted up, they were immediately out there to fix it. It was a quick trip but it would be nice to stay longer to appreciate this hidden gem!

I absolutely enjoyed my weekend here. The home is beautiful. Everything you could possibly need was provided In the home. Everything was clean, and neat. House is filled with light. The pool and hot tub were enjoyable. The host were amazing and had great communication, assisted us when needed right away. I would highly recommend staying here, and they are pet friendly which is always a plus for me. The yard is fenced in. Which made it easy to let the dog out, and great for the dog to explore. A++++ Will probably be back sometime In the future.

Beautiful home, very clean, spacious and comfortable to stay with the family. We used the grill on multiple occasions and it was easy to use. The fire pitt was also enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked, would bring own source of caffeine if you’re picky with your coffee though. Stephen, the host was very responsive and easy to reach when asked questions. The one thing I would recommend is to check in with the host if the pool is available to use prior to booking. Overall a great experience, would stay with them again.

We had the most beautiful weekend stay at Tim’s home! Everything is accurately described and the pool and hot tub were amazing!! All the beds were very comfortable. Was perfect for a 5 girl weekend getaway!! Tim was incredibly communicative and checking in was a breeze. The location is PERFECT in East Hampton!! So many amazing restaurants and bars nearby. 100% will stay here again for my next Hamptons trip. Thank you so much Tim!!

Great location, private and comfortable. Close to wineries and breweries. Very clean and convenient. I highly recommend.

We we’re going to Port Jefferson for a family wedding. Our Airbnb was perfectly situated. There is a pool area that we never used because we just didn’t have time. But it looked very inviting. The town of Port Jefferson had plenty of nice restaurants and shops. This house was perfect for our situation. We had six adults, all family members.

The house was perfect for my family. I loved the convenience of the one-floor layout and way it allows views of the pool and deck from the almost everywhere so we could enjoy it even when the weather didn't cooperate and we couldn't swim. The family /living room was comfortable and great for relaxing or watching a film. The lower level playroom was great fun with ping pong and billiards set up in two areas. We found everything we needed including electric outlets where you need them. The location was great for us and our rides to Montauk and the other towns in the area for museums and restaurants and views. The only thing less than perfect was low water pressure in the master bath sinks and shower, which Abigail said the plumber was addressing. She was extremely responsive and helpful.

I loved spending my birthday with my family. It was the perfect place for my family. Everything was so clean and organized. I am very grateful for everything. Thank you

Yu’s place was beautiful and right next to the beach! We had a wonderful stay. She was very responsive and communicative. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space! I loved the kitchen. The beach was ideal for my family’s trip! 12 mins to New Haven!

Tracy's spot was as advertised . . . great location, walkable to restaurants, and well appointed. Definitely worth a stay!

This place is one I highly recommend when visiting this area. Everything was amazing and the host is very respectful of the space. I will definitely be booking this place again.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at the Bungalow in Branford! It was very cute and comfortable! The location was perfect!

We had a wonderful girls weekend at Allana’s house by the sea! When we had a small incident with the keypad, Allana was quick to answer my call and resolve the issue no problem. Everything was clean and beautiful! We especially enjoyed the screened in porch in the back to enjoy our meals. The view from the master bedroom and deck is incredible! We highly recommend and will be back!

We were gathered from around the country for my Mother s Memorial. It was such a pleasure to stay in such a peaceful environment, as emotions were high. It was healing. Beautiful home, and all directions were clear. If it had been a little later in the Spring and the weather warmer, it would have been even better. I highly encourage anyone to stay and enjoy what the area has to offer in Gregory's beautiful home. You will have a wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful experience! We traveled to New Haven for a concert. It was only a 15 minute drive from the home. The Airbnb had everything we needed such as extra towels, snacks, and even a homemade candle, which smells lovely. Ryan was quick to respond and made sure we had everything. I would book with them again.

I booked the stay at the last minute, and Jonathan was incredibly kind and quick to respond, which I truly appreciated. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. His place is absolutely lovely.... quiet, safe, and spotless. Everything was so clean and fresh, and I especially loved the soft, pleasant scent in the room. It gave such a cozy and relaxing feeling. The view from the room was beautiful and peaceful—one of those little details that makes a big difference. I honestly wish we had more time to enjoy everything the space had to offer, but we were only in New Haven briefly for a friend’s wedding. The bed was incredibly comfortable—so much so that I fell asleep right away and woke up feeling completely rested. Every detail, from the cleanliness to the quiet atmosphere, made our short stay feel truly special. Thank you, Jonathan, for going above and beyond and making this a wonderful experience!
