We loved the 1920s decor it was well thought out. The location felt very safe and quiet considering it is New Haven. We really enjoyed the backyard with the oversized, rather giant connect4 and watching the early morning squirrel shenanigans in the backyard. Every room has a character unique to its own. It’s very family oriented and extremely clean and the energy felt really nice considering the year the house was built (no spooky things going on ☺️😅) We were here on a very special trip that was based around seeing family we haven’t seen in over 10 years but we are already planning a trip back to just relax and enjoy New Haven and this listing with our own agenda. Don’t think about it, just book it! You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful stay, beautiful cozy home and porch. I almost didn't book this home because it looked too beautiful for our young family. I was afraid things would be too fragile and imagined our toddlers destroying it. I was wrong and it was actually ideal for our young family and there were many thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The fenced in yard and bright beautiful patio was perfect for our toddlers to play. Breakable items were already out of reach... Even the small decorative tables were easy to fold and put away if needed. Ample towels and a tub was perfect for our toddlers too. I was able to rent tension baby gates for the stairs and a crib for our 1yr old from Devyn Gemmell on BabyQuip (highly recommended). I recommend this location for anyone, but especially for young families who like to let their kids enjoy running in a fenced yard. This home was free and had all the basics plus more available on site.

Wow! This is a beautiful place to stay, amazing above and beyond decor, loved the phonograph with oldies records, very nice neighborhood, walking distance to the Long island Sound lots of amenities. My family came for my wedding and we stayed there, they could not stop saying what a great place it was, very happy with everything. If you are having an event at Anthony’s Oceanview the venue is 1 minute away…

The house was exactly as pictured, very clean (the bathrooms were spotless!), and full of thoughtful touches like snacks and sparkling water in the kitchen on arrival. Ed was very responsive and my stay went off without a hitch. Do be aware that the airport is nearby, but that it is not busy and flights end around 11pm. I was aware of this going in and didn't find it to be a problem.

We had a fantastic stay over a long weekend. Check in with smooth, Ed was a great communicator, and the place overall is a happy, playful, stylish place to be with many special touches. We walked down to the sea wall, and spent an afternoon at the small nearby public beach (parked on the street near Anthony’s), and were surprised to find that we were practically the only ones there on a beautiful Saturday of Labor Day weekend (note that not all of the beach is public - the fun palm tree area is cordoned off for an event venue). At home, we enjoyed the back yard and front porch, and the house is in a nice little neighborhood. A small amount of airport noise, but really not an issue. All around a great stay and absolutely recommend!

Loved this place so much, each room was beautifully designed and decorated and just a joy to be in. The beds are really comfy! The neighbors were kind and friendly and the neighborhood is just so cute and easy walk to watch the beautiful sunset from the seawall. Would love to come back!

The house was perfect for our 2 week stay. We LOVED the sun porch and spent hours out there. The amenities were as expected with a great kitchen, appliances and spaces throughout the house. The fluffiest towels! We enjoyed walking the neighborhood, the promenade and East Haven Town Beach! Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful property with all the comforts of home. The only knock we can give it is the huge fees that are charged for Airbnb’s, which we knew we were up against when we booked. If we were going to pay those, however, this property was well worth it! Beautiful and comfortable furniture throughout, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and bathrooms, and so fresh and clean! This was a great little getaway for us, our daughter, and her friend!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy So many small touches

Such a lovely and beautiful house! Edward was a fantastic host - thoughtful and communicative. We enjoyed the quiet and walkable neighborhood (don’t worry about proximity to the airport) and short drive time to the beach, grocery and restaurants.

Our family (adults plus a few kids under age 5) had a wonderful time at this beautifully decorated and comfortable vacation house. We loved that they used all scent-free products when cleaning their linens and dishes (a few of us are very sensitive to cleaning products), and the beds and sheets were fantastically comfortable as well. All the towels were soft and clean (I’ve been in so many airbnbs where this wasn’t the case!) and they even had awesome beach equipment like some nice chairs to borrow! And the enclosed patio was so fun for hanging out’ The AC worked great and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked and had great cooking equipment. Loved the proximity to the beach and an easy 10-15 minute drive to downtown New Haven. I loved that the house was stocked One very minor note is that the floors are quite creaky so if you have very light sleepers, bring white noise / earplugs. But I would absolutely bring the family here again.

Impeccable!!! Had everything we needed. First off.. the decor is AMAZING. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes and pans. Fluffy towels and don't even get me started on the beds. It felt like sleeping on a cloud! The location was less than 15 min from downtown (shopping, Yale, museums) and close to several beaches that we didn't end up going to. Parks everywhere! Would 100% recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. True gem!

The “Jewel of the Cove” is just that. A clean, comfortable, well stocked and well appointed home. The home is super clean and it appears most of the furnishings are new. There was plenty of space for our entire family to relax, including the rear yard with a fire pit. The house is convenient to both the shoreline and downtown New Haven. Our stay couldn’t have been any better. If we need to be in the New Haven area again "The Jewel" will be our first choice.

We loved our stay and will be booking again. House was beautiful and clean, every detail and amenity well thought out. One block from seawall and bluff with great sunsets.

Very beautiful house on the inside, clean and spacious. Host communicated well. Walking distance to beach. Unfortunately we could not enjoy the backyard as it had not been mowed in a while otherwise it would have been great

Had a great experience staying here. The rental is well appointed and thoughtfully designed.

This recently renovated home was carefully curated to be both comfortable and luxurious. The decor was thoughtful and the seating was comfy. Everything you need and easy to find. Plus, they left us snacks! Easy access to the beach for a walk and a short drive to Yale.

The house was truly a « little gem ». The attention to detail in terms of the amenities and decor was really outstanding. We were provided the wrong code but the host responded right away and we were able to enter without any further issues. The house is close to town (by car) and the beach which has super convenient. We had a really great stay. I highly recommend this house.

A wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with my boys! Hosts were helpful and responsive and, although we were few and quiet, we enjoyed good food and board games and football. Grateful. Home is clean and comfortable and easy. Thank you.

Perfect cozy reunion! We lucked out with the perfect set up and owners. It had all the comforts for 3 couples to stay and enjoy the house and an external reunion. Very clean and well kept. We had an issue with the code but the managers/owners were instantly responsive and no issue.

Wonderful experience.

Perfect stay for a wedding weekend! We all loved the property! The hosts really thought of everything people would need to make your stay as free of stress as possible. The beds were soft and comfortable and so were the bath towels. They even provided black washcloths for removing makeup which might not mean much to others but were a big plus for our group. The house was very clean and well thought out as was the backyard. We wish the weather had been better so we could have used the fire pit and giant connect four but with everything provided in the house we didn’t miss it too much. The hosts were also very responsive and kind which we truly appreciated. I don’t think we could have asked for a better place to stay while we were up for a wedding at Lighthouse Point Park. We would recommend this place to everyone!

Great place Loved everything about this property!!!

Easy Breezy Check in/check out was super easy. Space was clean and open, backyard had plenty of space to lounge and hangout. 5/5. If in the area again would not look for another place besides this one.

From the very minute we walked in, it felt like a little paradise away from home. Host was extremely accommodating with check in time! The house was beyond pristine and every room did not disappoint with the decor/vacation getaway feel. We were welcomed with a little note and some sweet surprises from Jenna and Tony. We enjoyed our time in the backyard with the amazing fire pit, and backyard games. From check in till check out, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back if we’re in the area! ☀️
