Charming Coastal Retreat Steps from the Beach!

Our charming 1930s beach house offers a classic New England coastal getaway with plenty of space. Located just a block from the Long Island Sound and breathtaking views of the Thimble Islands. Enjoy views of the Long Island Sound just a block away, take a walk along the coast line, rinse off with an outdoor shower, and have dinner on the deck or patio in the huge private backyard. Or enjoy a meal and live music at one of several restaurants within walking distance.
This 1930s house has been renovated while maintaining its charm. Exposed beams, hardwood floors, and original fireplace offer unique design characteristics. The backyard is very large and private, backing up to a marsh. There is an outdoor shower, patio area with fire pit, and a deck to fully enjoy the beautiful property. The neighborhood is very friendly and safe.

The beach at the end of the road (Limewood Beach) should only be used for short walks below the high tide mark. Above the high tide mark is owned by individuals and is private property. Other beaches you will have access to are Branford Point (5 min drive), Stoney Creek beach (12 min drive), and Hammonasset State Park Beach (beautiful large beach roughly 20 min drive).

Location is minutes to New Haven (Yale, museums, famous New Haven pizza)

Perfect cozy house
This house served as a home base for us for a family reunion weekend in January. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable and perfect for our weekend stay. It had everything we needed and the owner was very accommodating when we requested a late check out at the last minute. We loved it so much that we are hoping to come back during a warmer time! Lovely lot and lots of charm! We couldn’t have been happier!!

IN town for a wedding at the Owenego Inn
This was the perfect spot for our stay in beautiful Branford for our niece's wedding celebration. This home was clean, well-appointed and had all that we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The bedrooms were deluxe and the walk to the beach was a great way to start each day! We were very satisfied and the property was a great value! Greg and Jean
