Family-friendly holiday rentals in West Haven

My family enjoyed their short stay at Camilla’s apartment. The apartment was a beautiful place.

Great little spot. Nicely kept and a great spot for a get away.

Our family rented for a weekend off season. Surroundings were beautiful. Home was clean and comfortable. Host was super friendly and very communicative. Any questions were answered within 5-10 minutes. Lots and lots of space for large groups. We had 6 adults, 2 children and a dog in our trip. Literally open the back door and you’re right on the beautiful beach!

This getaway was very last minute and there was huge importance on it because I needed some time away and because I had never booked an Airbnb before. I wanted to make sure that my family and I were able to be someplace peaceful and have a really good time and Brian’s home provided just that. The stay was so much more than we expected and Brian was absolutely amazing. He’s super responsive and accommodating. Hoping to stay here again in the near future!

We were all immediately happy at Susan’s place! Our two year old found the toy room and played happily, our eleven year old lived in the beautiful pool and my husband and I felt like we could really relax. The location is 5 minutes from town where you can get coffee and a bite, or 8 minutes from the beach/state park. The property feels private and the house is charming and well appointed. The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s really lovely.

It was great. Everything was the complete opposite of what I expected

Great place for a wonderful weekend. Kathy was an amazing, responsive and fantastic house. Will be back!

We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. The view of the water was everything and was accessible from nearly every room. The home was modern and easily accommodated our large group. Yet it was cozy and beautifully appointed with all the amenities you would ever want. It is ideal for children with every toy imaginable. There was a highchair and a pack and play for our toddler and child appropriate dishes. The kitchen was fully equipped and had 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and 3 tables for dining. The beautiful pool and hot tub were in constant use. Mary is very thoughtful and assembled a ringed binder with important contacts and suggestions for dining, shopping and entertainment. Although there was no beach on the property there are nearby beaches. The towns of Guilford and (nearby) Madison are charming and well worth visiting. Mary was very accommodating and responded promptly to several inquiries.

Was the perfect little get away for us. And it was nice to find a place that accommodated the dogs so well. We appreciated being able to get to places easily but at the same time have a peaceful place to return to.

Second time at this gorgeous place! Everything is perfect! Highly, highly recommend. 5/5!!! Kind and responsive host. We will be back!!!

Victor and Kim were gracious and amazing hosts. I was celebrating my birthday and they even had a card, a bottle of champagne, red wine and fruit. It was such a wonderful surprise! The house was so beautiful and the beach is just outside! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything one would need to cook for a family; there was a convection oven! We loved using the grill as it was memorial day. Bathrooms had rain showers. Beds were so comfortable and it was truly wonderful to wake up to a beautiful sunrise and to just listen to the waves from the deck or even the living room. We spent a lot of time outside, on the beach. It was home away from home.

Brian was a fantastic host he was very responsive and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. I felt very much at home and could prepare home-cooked meals for out-of-town guests. I would highly recommend this place!

It was so comfortable and peaceful. We had a great time exploring nearby beaches and hikes. We would definitely stay there again.

My seconds stay here, the hosts are great, and you can’t beat the location!

We enjoyed our stay! Such easy access to the beach was so convenient. You’re definitely better off venturing out after high tide to enjoy the most amount of beach and there are a lot of shells that make being barefoot challenging. We did arrive after major storms which could have contributed to that. The house was spotless with everything you need to be comfortable! We did not utilize the outdoor space but definitely would have if the weather was drier! Definitely would stay here again.

I chose Marlene’s lovely spot primarily because it was in a location convenient for short trips to visit family and friends in Wallingford, Middlebury and Middletown while on my way south from New Hampshire. The peaceful, quiet surroundings along with a spotless, well-appointed accommodation made it very appealing: highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Todd's place! Todd greeted us warmly and was very responsive. The pool was fantastic and surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a serene spot to relax. We stayed in the pool apartment, which looked out at the pool and stunning backyard. It was well-equipped with a kitchen, pool towels, a TV, couches, and a dining table. Wendy, Todd's wife, welcomed us with cookies, and they provided milk, orange juice, eggs, yogurt, and fruits. There was also a grill available. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed the pool a lot. Despite being a shared pool, there was plenty of space and time for everyone. We also used the tennis court and played some basketball at the basketball rink there. Todd and Wendy made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. We highly recommend their place!

My girlfriend and I had a great stay here. The place was cozy, well-equipped, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor area was the true highlight — from the spacious patio to the beautifully maintained landscaping, the property felt peaceful and private. There’s also a pool that looked amazing, even though we couldn’t enjoy it due to the weather. We had some trouble during check-in after a delayed flight and arrived around midnight, but the property owners were just a phone call away and quickly helped us get settled, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience and we’d absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic place to unwind.

The pool house is so cute and the outdoor patio is gorgeous and the perfect place to relax. Great place to stay if you want to stay near New Haven but also want to enjoy quiet away from the city. Sue is a responsive and very generous host!

This place really is a gem. The bedroom and bathroom and spacious and have everything you need. The kitchen is small and can be challenging to work in, but the outdoor grill and dining space make up for that. We spent most of our time outside by the private pool relaxing. James and Margie were great hosts. They greeted us upon arrival and were so friendly and warm. They even brought fresh-bakes cookies. We had a great time!

Exceeded our expectations for our multigenerational getaway. Bucolic location, Stunning home, beautifully decorated with excellent amenities. perfect pool and wonderful host…..will be back!

This is the second time we stayed at this house. The owner is super nice and very accommodating. The house was great! Clean, beautiful yard, close to campus. We would highly recommend!

Do to family circumstance, we could not use our reservation. Everything leading up to the check-in was above and beyond. Mary showed genuine concern for us and was understanding.

We had a wonderful stay at Stephen’s place. It was perfect in every way!
