Coastal Modern Retreat: Private Beach Access & Water Views | House in Branford

Welcome to our Shoreline Escape - a newly renovated coastal modern home set directly along Branford’s beautiful shoreline. A high-design coastal escape - steps from a deeded beach with beautiful water views, thoughtfully curated, and an experience you’ll come back to year after year.
We've intentionally designed every detail to create an elevated and memorable stay. With custom artwork and high-end finishes, our beach home combines the best elements of shoreline living into a boutique experience.
This is a four-season escape. Experience unforgettable summer beach days and outdoor living with kayaks and life jackets available for guest use at the beach directly across the street. (Check out some of the nearby islands for a romantic outing or memorable day trip!) Don’t forget fall apple picking along with beautiful New England hiking and foliage experiences. Cozy winter quiet retreats with water views and fireside dinners beckon, and fresh spring coastal air in a beautiful neighborhood, with easy access to the best Connecticut has to offer in arts, culture, activities, and food will make your visit extraordinary.
This is the kind of place guests return to year after year - for traditions, celebrations, and truly memorable stays.
Your Branford coastal stay is just a click away—see details below.
