"Great location. Close to the beach and local restaurants and a short drive into New Haven. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable."

Luxury New Haven Retreat • Private Pool, Gym, Cinema • Near Yale & Beaches

8/10 Good

"The property was nice inside as the pictured showed. The stairs are steep. A few things need updates like the sliding glass doors to the pool and mud room. The pool is great, large, and clean. The backyard area beyond the pool is not well maintained with lots of weeds and critters back there. The property is immediately next door to a small airport, so it is noisy when planes are and coming and going. There is not too much to do in the area. The Atlantic ocean beach was a bit of a drive especially with traffic. Overall, a nice house and a great pool. The hosts were very responsive during the stay."

Large Waterfront Modern Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The outdoor areas were great for hanging out. After a busy day the beds were very comfortable."
