Waterfront Apartment-Guilford CT-***New Listing

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 59 reviews6 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at this charming waterfront apartment in Guilford, CT. The location is unbeatable—steps from the beach, with boutique shops and cafes nearby. The weather in early October was perfect—cool, crisp, and sunny, ideal for exploring. We visited the Henry Whitfield State Museum and enjoyed Guilford Center’s unique shops and eateries, especially The Spice & Tea Exchange, where we picked up amazing spice blends and teas. The apartment is cozy, with stunning views of Long Island Sound. We loved relaxing on the private patio while watching the sunset. Kim, our host, was kind, responsive, and made our stay seamless. Overall, a peaceful retreat perfect for relaxing by the water. Highly recommended!

Charming 3 bedroom Beach Front Cottage

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviews1 week ago

Our family loved staying here! It was a perfect fit for us (2 adults upstairs & 2 young teen kids in their own room) + grandma downstairs (so no fall hazard!) The views were perfect and added bonus for my kids to burn off steam even in the chilly weather. The open layout downstairs worked great. We weren’t there for many meals so didn’t utilize the kitchen to its fully potential. Jonathan was very responsive and polite with any questions I had during our stay. It was a lovely place that worked out perfectly during our time spent visiting family in CT!

Spacious Beachfront Milford Home

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews1 month ago

This place is absolutely serene. It is beautiful and spacious. My family enjoyed all of it. The only caveat, which is a blessing and curse, is that there are no window covers. The downstairs living room and sitting den don't have curtains or shades. This limits the privacy and everyone can see in. However, when the light hits, it is a magnificent view. We would love to book this in the summer because it was so family friendly.
