Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Essex

Beautiful, relaxing, clean Airbnb. Had an issue with the shower, which can happen anywhere, Mk was super responsive and came over quickly. Loved loved loved our stay here. Didn’t use the swimming pool due to weather but the screened deck with the Fire Pit and the superb game room saved the day. Thank you for hosting us will be back

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!

Laurie was an amazing host, very responsive! We wanted to bring our dog with us for the weekend and the fenced in yard added to the great experience! The place is much larger than the photos with plenty of living room space for the family. The kitchen was well equipped, with everything needed! We appreciated her hospitality and friendliness and would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful weekend at Aude's home in Essex. The setting was beautiful and the house itself was immaculate. It is a 7 minute drive to the center of town, which was convenient. The host was very responsive and quick to fix any concerns we brought to her attention. I would definitely return to this Airbnb!

We were in town for a wedding and there are few hotels in the area that are a reasonable price point. For half of what I would have paid for a hotel 20 mins away, we were able to stay at a sweet little home just minutes away from all wedding-related locations. Fred and his wife, Lee, were responsive and helpful (even when I NEEDED a disney+ log in at 8:00 pm for my cranky 3 year old). The house was clean and organized. My daughter enjoyed running around the yard and swinging on a little swingset. Bonus was that the bride stayed in the cottage behind the house, so we had easy access all weekend, which was helpful when you have your whole family in tow. Gorgeous little neighborhood in a sweet town. Thank you to Fred and Lee for making our chaotic weekend seamless 🫶🏻

Lauren’s quaint farmhouse is peaceful and comfortable tucked down a side street in East Haddam yet close to everything. We loved the quiet neighborhood and the obvious care that Lauren put into fixing up and furnishing the charming old farmhouse.

My first experience with AirB&B - very pleased - the house was PERFECT - - we live in Fl and immediate family in Ct & Boston ! Gathered together to celebrate 3 graduates! We had a beautiful beach day & plenty to do on the bad weather day! The whole experience was wonderful as well as the accommodations! Would not hesitate to recommend to family & friends!

This house was PERFECT for us - four women returning to their college for their 45th reunion. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. The house was extremely comfortable. Carlos was responsive and helpful. We would definitely return to this house.

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.

Highly recommend Patrick and Monica’s location. You feel right at home when you walk! The pool and patio views are breathtaking. The beds are very comfortable. Patrick was super responsive to my messages regarding restaurants.

Had booked a girls getaway at Tracy and Patrick’s place and it was perfect, even with gloomy weather! The house perfectly matches all pictures and descriptions and has everything you’ll need and more for the perfect relaxing and fun getaway! We even got a cute surprise visit from their furry friends which is always loved!! There are also shops and beaches a short drive away, we just didn’t happen to go visit because we were enjoying our cozy time at the home. Thank you again Tracy and Patrick:) we would totally recommend and want to come back!

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!!

Loved the stay! Exactly what we thought it was - extremely convenient and cozy. Plenty of beaches to walk to and the food options were plentiful. Would definitely stay again.

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

Absolutely beautiful home and wonderful experience!! The host was quick to respond and the amenities were excellent. There was zero lack! Would definitely return for another stay!

We really enjoyed our time at Elizabeth Jane's place. The home is spacious and quaint, with nice furnishings, a tasteful colonial feel and easy access to downtown Litchfield and the Berkshires. The bucolic setting is lovely - scenic, relaxing and peaceful.

We loved our stay here for when we visited New Haven! The place was clean and worked perfect for our dog! We loved the farm outside and the peaceful and private area outside. Would stay here again!

We had a wonderfully stay! Brian has thought of just about everything to make guests feel welcome. The home was very clean and the view was amazing!

My husband and I had a wonderful beach getaway at Claudias Beach house! Easy check in, and oh my as soon as you walk in it smelled amazing and the home was squeaky clean! Everything was exactly as pictured, it was wonderfully quiet and the seating areas outside were so private and serene. My husband loved the outdoor shower, what a bonus! The beach was so nice and only about a 5 minute walk away! This home is situated where it's so quiet yet just a couple minutes away you'll find all kinds of stores and restaurants, talk about convenience! I highly recommend staying and look forward to returning for a longer visit next time!

Very beautiful

Our stay was perfect! Relaxing and inviting.

We love it here! Our home away from home! Since we’ve moved out of Connecticut, this is the perfect place to stay when we come for a visit. Farah is the best host, and we love everything here! Especially her amazing gift basket! Bella always loves her surprises!

We had a fabulous weekend at this lovely cottage. Located on a remote peninsula surrounded by the glistening water we couldn’t have asked for a nicer experience. The amenities were both convenient and thoughtful. Although we chose to dine out, the kitchen was very modern with upscale appliances and an espresso machine. We did bbq on our last night and had a great end to our 4 night stay!

Fantastic Airbnb. Felt like we were staying at a well taken care of and beautifully furnished home of a friend. Nice art, interesting books, comfy and attractive furniture. The whole house was well furnished. There was a lovely snack basket with fresh fruit, bars, French bread, and delicious local cheese to welcome us. Well stocked kitchen- high quality cookware, lots of cooking basics (spices, etc). But, on top of it all, there was wonderful living space- two full well appointed living rooms each with their own amazing view (one of trees, the other of the pond), a large comfortable yet elegant dining room, a big open concept kitchen with a breakfast table, perfect to do a puzzle, play games or have a quick bite. Plenty of room for our party of 10 adults. Beds were comfy, master suite beyond expectation in size and comfort. Great local market for sandwiches/cookies/coffee. Lovely, local CT beach full of shells. Very responsive host. Stay at this airbnb! Even more beautiful in person.
