About The Owner

Retired professor and wife enjoying his grandkids, travel and being at the beach.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 1971
Why The Owner chose Branford

We bought in Branford because it was one half hour from our home, had a lovely beach and nice neighbors. We can go into New Haven to the theater, art galleries. Not far from the casinos and all our kids.

What makes this cottage unique

Love clamming, sailing on the Terviseks, swimming. Branford has many excellent restaurants, from really classy to outside patio dining in a marina. The center has a town green which has many activities through the summer, plus interestng shops and stores. We are a half hour ride to the outlet shops. And it is quiet.

Wonderful Stay in a Great Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: June 27, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Our stay at Ennis Cottage was perfect, we could not have wished for nicer accommodation. Ron and Bernie were very welcoming and the cottage had everything we needed for our stay. We have a ten month old baby and they very helpfully lent us a highchair which made things much easier. We were also able to borrow toys for the beach which our baby had a wonderful time playing with. The private back garden with garden furniture was lovely to relax in at the end of a busy day. The location of the property is excellent with many attractions within an hours drive – more than we could possibly have visited within one week. There is a very helpful welcome book which includes everything to do in the surrounding area, which saved us hours searching for things to do. We could happily have spent the week on the private beach using the row boat! Oh, and the bed was super comfy!!

Owner's Response: We were delighted that the Ireland family had such a great time in our cottage. We work hard to anticipate our tenants needs and were glad that they were pleased.

Perfect for a visit with relatives in the area. Cottage is cozy and has all one could want for the week. Convenient location for catching the train to New York City, taking advantage of the beach or exploring the shoreline area and New Haven/Yale. Thank you Ron & Bernie. I won't hesitate to rent for my next trip back home.

A truly charming and cozy cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: November 29, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
I stayed in this perfectly charming cottage last month on a visit to my hometown of Branford. It was everything I had in mind and was as ideal for me as the website suggested. The cottage is cozy, immaculate, and in mint condition. I really enjoyed my stay there. I felt quite comfortable and content with the rental and will definitely plan on staying there again in the future. Ron and his wife Bernie were also most hospitable and attentive to my needs during my stay. It is clear that they have invested a great deal in the cottage and that they tend to its maintanence and upkeep with great love and care. The property is also beautiful with grass so green and so plush that it looks like a carpet! If you are looking for the best cottage to rent in the Connecticut shoreline towns, this is it!

Owner's Response: We are always pleased when our tenants find the cottage to their liking. We work hard to provide everything that we think they would want.

We just got back from spending a lovely week at Ennis Cottage. This was our first beach vacation with our 9 month old daughter and it was the perfect situation. The cottage was very clean and tidy; the kitchen had everything we needed and we loved spending time in our little private backyard with the grill! The beach was very easily accessed and it was lovely to meet all their wonderful neighbors. We enjoyed several of the local restaurants, especially the Tuesday night 2 for 1 lobster dinner at Lenny's Lobster Shack...not to be missed! Overall we had a lovely time and Ron and Bernadette were extremely cordial! Thanks so much!
