Mini vaca in Branford cottage

Really enjoyed walking my dog among the many residential seaside streets. Although the private beach doesn’t allow dogs, Ennis Cottage has a fenced in private yard so my puppy got some off- leash playtime. The space is as pictured plus the queen sofa opens to as bed. There is excellent cell service& nice restaurants in walking distance

Relaxing & Convenient Place to Spend the Week

This was a very nice property for a couple or a small family. It was located near the best restaurants with convenience to all the CT shoreline has to offer. It was a great place to walk with the water being right across the street. It was a pleasant and relaxing place to spend a week!

Week at the beach!

We had a lovely time! The beach was about a 2 minute walk away which was fabulous! Sadly there were a lot of jelly fish so no swimming this time! Trish was very communicative and when we had an issue with WiFi she worked quickly to address it. Bed was a bit small (full) and in an alcove so only one way in and out. Very tiny bathroom but served it’s purpose. Our dog loved the cottage! She could see out the window and enjoyed the AC. They were very accommodating to pets which we so appreciated! Hope to be back again maybe in the fall!

Relaxation at its best

Loved my week at Ennis Cottage. The beach is only steps away so I spent the majority of my time there. The house itself is tiny but perfect for 1-2 people. Had everything I needed and the owner was responsive when I had a minor issue. Bedroom and bathroom are very tiny but again not much more that you need for a short stay. Would love to go back!

Great weekend getaway

We had a great stay. The property is very clean and located right by the beach with easy parking. Overall, the property is exactly as described on the website and the images are very accurate. We were a little surprised by how small the bedroom was but it did not impact our stay. We would stay again!
