- "We stayed at the property for 3 nights and found everything top shelf. First off the place was immaculate and had everything we needed. The Property Managers provided a bunch of extras such as K cups, waffles, a few beers and vodka coolers, a bottle of prosecco and a large container of orange juice as well as ingredients for s'mores! Also, prior to our visit we recieved a list of places to shop as well as their favorite restaurants and things to do in the area. The pool and beach were great and our 3 grandchildren came one afternoon for the pool, beach and BBQ lunch and had a great time. Wonderful place with wonderful hosts and would highly recommend the place and go back as well. Dorothy & Mike T."

- "Clean and very functional property with large open space and deck for entertaining. Ideal location for our itinerary. Owner easy to contact." - "Very confortable, relaxed and conveniently located stay in well stocked holiday retreat. We attended a multi day wedding event some 20 miles away from the apartment but this proved the perfect place to relax from the festivities in between. Very nice master bedroom, great bed, very nice kitchen with all the amenities, great view on the coast plus road from the living room. It was also nice to have two separate beds in the second bedroom although these beds were probably better suited for kids/teenagers not so much for adults. Shower needs some adjusting before you get to the right temperature. It is located right next to a train so expect an occasional one passing by which is sometimes a bit longer than you want it to be. Frequency is low though so no reason to complain. All in all we were very pleased with our 4 day stay and would certainly recommend it."

It was wonderful to end the day in a serene setting by the water. The view was incredible. I wish we had more time to explore. Off the street parking was a plus, We had a Suburban and a mid size truck.

- "Our 2 night stay at the Ridgeview Suite exceeded our expectations. It was lovely to meet Barbara at the depot. She put so much attention and care to the property. So many surprising details and ameniites. I normally stay in hotels so was thrilled to find robes and slippers! Great furnishings and decor in every room. I slept so well. More space than we needed for just the 2 of us but lovely for having another couple over for a bit after dinner. We didn't cook but the kitchen was incredibly well equipped. Great location- a quick walk down to the Stony Creek Market which has the friendliest people and great breakfast and luck. (We were lucky enough that Stony Creek Market also had pizza night during our visit.) We hope to visit again for a longer stay. Thank you!"

- "Clean, family friendly, and fun." - "The location was perfect for our trip. Branford is a very quaint town with lots to see and great places to eat. We came back to CT from SC for our son's wedding on the shore by the ocean and a baby shower at Stony Creek Brewery. This cottage is in the perfect location and has huge potential! It is definitely a diamond in the rough.Thank you so much for providing the chocolates, croissants, butter, coffee and flavored creamers. It is definitely a thoughtful touch. The view from the kitchen, dining area and deck are breath taking. We loved being able to see the boats in the marinas, the wild life in the yard, which included bunnies and deer. My son loved fishing from the shoreline and also taking his kayak out. We used to own rental property and always want to know if our clients had any issues we needed to be aware of and take corrective action, Unfortunately we did encounter a few ants in the kitchen. You might want to consider having a professional exterminator treat the property. The air conditioner does a great job of cooling the down stairs. We recommend cleaning it though. There is a lot of visible dirt and may be contaminating the air. I recommend placing a full length mirror on the back of a door so your clients are able to see how they look. We were there for my son's wedding and a baby shower. It would have been nice to be able to look in the mirror prior to leaving for the events. Thank you again for letting us stay in our property. Kind regards,Penny Stefanski"
