Comfy room for up to three guests

YJRating, 5 stars1 month ago

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This is the kind of place that makes Airbnb truly special. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves—but at the same time, it’s so perfect that a part of me wants to keep it a secret. Shelly redefines what it means to be a host—warm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and kind, even across different time zones. She made sure everything was ready for us with care and intention. My friends and I arrived to find a spotless, peaceful home that felt more like a retreat than a rental. There were small gestures throughout that made us feel welcomed and cared for—Shelly had anticipated what we might need before we even thought of it. Her warmth showed in every detail. All of us agreed: we’ll definitely stay here again next time we’re in New Haven. We’ll miss Shelly and the peaceful haven she’s created. It was truly a home away from home.❤️We'll miss you, Shelley!

Studio on the shore - Short Beach - Water Views

AnneRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Quiet, clean place. Was there to just get rest and relax for 2 days, after a 7 week process of packing up my house and staging it to sell. It provided exactly that, and I was able to cook up a couple great recipes with a kitchen that had everything I needed to do so. I loved he had everything I needed to do so, and for a compact Kitchen area, it had what you need. Thanks George for your quick help when I reached out to get my own Roku on the TV.

This home was exactly as described and pictured. The home is tastefully decorated and comes with everything you need.

Even with unpredictable weather we still had a great restful vacation! I would book here again!
