Spacious, comfortable, well stocked, and a great host!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful house with us! It was the perfect home base for visiting family nearby. Lots of room, comfortable beds and spaces, supplied with everything we needed, super easy check-in and check-out, and great communication. Next time we should come during warmer weather to enjoy the nice back yard and nearby beach.

Lovely stay in Guilford

We stayed with a group of friends for our wedding weekend and it was the perfect space. Large enough for our group and conveniently located. The house was equipped with everything we needed and the outdoor space was beautiful! Phil was a great host, he helped with anything we needed and even greeted us with flowers when we checked in! Highly recommend this beautiful home!

Perfect for a family trip

Spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Phil was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us around the property. Location is close enough to walk to the green or to Jacobs Beach but also private and quiet. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay - thank you!

Guilford Getaway for Graduation

We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at the home in Guilford while attending our son's graduation nearby! The house was immaculate and perfectly met the needs of our multi-generation family. We enjoyed long walks nearby, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and dining in town and along the CT coast. It was nice to have two sitting rooms so the quiet readers and talkers each had a space to relax. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend

Our son got married at Guilford Yacht Club, so we booked Phil's property for us and some family to stay for the weekend. Phil could not have been more accommodating...from reaching out to offer a two minute tour upon our arrival, to fresh dahlias, to allowing for late checkout if needed, to even priority shipping back to us some items we forgot when we left. The house was very clean and well equipped with anything and everything we could have needed. Also just a short walk to the marina, which is SO pretty, and a short drive from the center of charming Guilford. We would rent this property again in a heartbeat!!

Ladies Trip

5 ladies had a blast at this location. Cocktail hour around the tall outside table. Easy walk to restaurants right next door and downtown less than a mile away. The food was amazing. Then great time playing games at the large dining room table or lounging while watching the huge TV. Beds extremely comfortable. Great host!

Best of the best!

Phil is an amazing host: responsive and caring. Our family were celebrating my 85th birthday so we had ages 16 to 86 for a week. Everyone loved the house and location. Walked to beach, town, harbor. The yard is beautiful, fenced in, and good for games with good umbrellas to create shade. The house is the best equipped we've ever stayed in. My husband and I rented it for a month and we literally could have come with our clothes only and only shop for food. He even included spices and oil & vinegar, paper towels, laundry detergent, and do much more! ,.

The Perfect Guilford House

I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed Phil’s place. Our family of five had plenty of room for our short stay in Connecticut. The location was perfect for local restaurants on the water and a short walk to town. The backyard served as our evening play zone then trips to the beach to end the day. Phil was an impeccable host throughout the entire booking process, check in and stay. We even added on an additional night because we didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back. Thanks

Lovely, peaceful, and comfortable stay!

The house went above and beyond my expectations in terms of comfort and cleanliness, plus it was a stone's throw from the beautiful Guilford marina and charming shopping/dining area around the town square. The large dining and living rooms made it a great place to gather with extended family. Master bedroom on the main level with a huge shower is great for older guests or anyone needing special accommodations. Plus, Phil is a very responsive host and had lots of great recommendations for things to do in the area. I had one suggested improvement to the garage area and he took care of it right away. You will love staying here!

Five Star In Every Way

Our family stay was perfect, due in large part to Phil’s wonderful property. The pictures, while accurate, don’t do it justice. The home was immaculate, everything worked, and Phil went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Communications were timely and complete. Anyone coming to Guilford should book this property ASAP. You will be very happy you did.

AMAZING PLACE with AN AMAZING HOST!

We booked this home to attend our sons graduation from Yale. It was a short drive from the school, but well worth it. The home was peaceful, and offered a wonderful place to relax after a day of activities. Phil was the absolute most hospitable host we've encountered. The home was clean and above and beyond what we expected. Every detail was accounted for, from the fresh flowers to welcome us to washer/dryer avaialbilty. We can not say enough good things about our experience. We enjoyed it so much, that we have decided to come back and visit the cute little town and beach nearby! We are so grateful to Phil for being truly kind, and generous and making us feel so comfortable. THANK YOU!

Beautiful Coastal Connecticut Home

My husband and six of our friends just spent four nights at Philip’s home for our son’s wedding weekend in Guilford. It was within walking distance of the rehearsal dinner restaurant, a cute little breakfast place and minutes from the wedding venue. The house itself was well appointed and very spacious for all eight of us. Phil was an extremely gracious and accommodating host, providing a hair dryer when requested, came over to meet & greet us to see if we required anything else and left special welcome flowers and supplies. The main bedroom was a delight - black out auto blinds and absolutely huge walk-in shower. On a scale of 1 to 10 this experience was a 20 for us. If we need a larger rental home in the area again, we’ll be back!

A gem in Guilford

Went to this area from north Florida to visit our daughter who lives in New Haven with her husband and 2 little girls. This is a beautiful and spacious New England home, impeccably kept in a quiet neighborhood by the Guilford Marina. It is 2 stories high with 4 bedrooms, great comfy beds and great, well supplied kitchen. You can see the water and marina from some of the rooms. The back yard is fenced in and we were able to have an Easter egg hunt with our 2 little granddaughters that was a lot of fun, walk around the neighborhood to the water, and eat at a delicious local eatery, Pa’s Place just across the street. Phil the owner lives next door and was simply a pleasure to work with, readily accessible and kind. We travel a bit and I give this property the best scores, definitely would rent here again in the future.
