About this property
Short Beach Coastal Cottage
This charming sun filled cottage is located in the Short Beach community of Branford, CT. It has a mixture of old world charm with new amenities. The perfect place for you to experience all the things New England has to offer. Relax along the sandy shores, take a swim or explore Long Island Sound in kayaks (2) or on bikes (2) which are provided. Excellent for walking, 2 miles of continuous sidewalks along the shore. Located on a quite inlet w/ sandy Bay beach, beautiful sun rises, all less than 500ft from the cottage as well as Yale Corinthian Yacht Club (Yale Sailing). Large open living space, great for family gatherings. Two excellent restaurants within walking distance. 45 minutes to Mohegan Sun Casino or 50 minutes to Foxwoods Casino. Many local breweries within town, 5.5 miles to YNHH & Yale University and approximately 15 miles to Quinnipiac University. So many things to do or just relax at home away from home!!
