The location is lovely with outstanding restaurants to walk to for dinner and an incredible beach path at the end of the street for morning coffee and truly gorgeous views of the water.

Came for a wedding at the Owenego, we were sooo close to the venue. Communication with Jane was great she even gave us some nice recommendations. The washer/dryer was a plus.

We loved the cozy living room, two nice porches, and comfy bed. Jane was very responsive to our request for early check-in and let us know about available beaches and events nearby. Very easy walk to the Owenego, Linden Shores, Little Riggs, and Lenny's. Would highly recommend staying here! ##### Megan S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin G., Boone Aug 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay We had a great stay at Jane’s place. The most important things to me when staying away from home are the beds and the ability to relax. The beds and bedding were so comfortable and the home/ area is so peaceful and beautiful. The location is perfect. Walking distance to the water and wonderful restaurants/entertainment. The deck and porch are great too:) ##### Robin G.

We had a wonderful vacation at Jane’s cottage! Jane was a wonderful host. She was accommodating and very responsive to any questions I had. The cottage is beautiful and situated very close to ocean. There are restaurants and beach within walking distance. Relaxing on the patio was very peaceful. We are looking forward to staying again! ##### Toni R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kate B. Jul 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Branford getaway Perfect location being just a hop, skip and a jump from the water and just down the road from family we were visiting. Jane was wonderful in letting us check in early after a red eye with kiddos so they could settle in. Great benefit of Lenny’s right down the block (a nostalgic return to Lenny’s from childhood) which has great food and service. The cottage had several options for sitting outside and the grassy area in the back used for some parking for a club, was a perfect place for the kids to throw a ball around. Very cute. Would book again. ##### Kate B.
