Cosey Beach is a charming, 1920’s Nautical New England village, nestled on one of East Haven’s award winning beaches. It’s a stretch of beach that lies between two tidal inlets along the Long Island Sound in East Haven. This beach has earned a national award by the National Resources Defense Council largely due to their monitoring system and pollution control effects used on the beach. NRDC named it “A Beach Buddy” and voted it one of the five top picks for clean summer spots in the East Coast. Another reason for the cleaner water is due to the two tidal inlets on each side of the beach and the natural cleansing that occurs as these tidal inlets move the water in and out. Our house is on one of the inlets.You can order PeaPod from Stop and Shop to meet you here or we supply all the not-so-basics, therefore if you choose, basic shopping is not required!Just minutes away from cosmopolitan New Haven, with great restaurants, little Italy and the best brick oven pizza ever!

10/10 | Excellent | Nonumaifele S. | 9 Aug 2022 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Peaceful, Quaint, and Amenities | A lil gem away from the busy day to day. The house and property was well maintained and has a lot of amenities that allowed us to stay “home” and enjoy.
Thank you Linda! |
Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2022 | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | So glad to hear!! Hope to have you stay again sometime soon.
My goal is to share our little paradise! |
10/10 | Excellent | Sandi T. | 9 Jul 2022 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | As described | Listing was accurate. Communication was plentiful. I mistakenly missed the text with check in info so I met the lovely East Haven police and frantically tried getting in touch with Linda. She was very gracious when I realized, and admitted, my mistake. Would stay again. | Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | You are always welcome so sorry for the police visit. The good news is If help was ever needed ( never in 20 plus years here, readily available). It is great to know that you found the house and gardens as magical as we find them!!!!! Please come back again! |
10/10 | Excellent | Sara B. | 20 Jun 2019 | Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy | None | Love the outdoors | My favorite experience was sitting under the gazebo, drinking a cup of tea, listening to the birds and watching wildlife. Beautiful flowers in the garden. It’s a very easy walk to beach and Sandpiper restaurant. Check out the Shore Line Trolley Museum in East Haven. You pass by it on the way to the house. Yale is close by, the Peabody Museum was cool to see. Cute town, and great location. |
Stayed 33 nights in May 2019 | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | Thank you Sara, it was a pleasure to have you! |
10/10 | Excellent | Debbie L. | 9 Jun 2018 | None | None | Great time at the cottage | We really enjoyed our stay at this special cottage. Set on a dead end street with views of the bird sanctuary and the most peaceful wind chime made our time here very relaxing. The cottage is very well kept and had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed hiking with the dogs in brandford and great dinners in new haven both within 15 minutes. Super friendly beach town. The owner was very responsive and very accommodating. | Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | Such a pleasure to have you and the pups. We just planted about 100 new flowering plants. We hope you will come back soon. Hugs. |
10/10 | Excellent | Megan S. | 19 Feb 2015 | None | None | beautiful house, wonderful weekend | It was a weekend at the beach in the winter. There was a lot of snow on the ground but the walk and the driveway were clear. The house was warm when I went in and it stayed cozy. There is a wonderful restaurant “The Sandpiper” down by the beach, about 2 blocks away. The owner was very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | So glad you enjoyed your stay! | |
10/10 | Excellent | Melissa E. | 19 Aug 2014 | None | None | A Relaxing Beach Getaway! | I cannot say enough about what a wonderful and relaxing time we had at this lovely beach cottage. The home is very clean, with plenty of comfortable seating and very comfortable beds. You are also supplied with nice bedding and towels, and appliances like a dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer to meet all your needs. The gardens are truly breathtaking and make this cottage magical! We spent a lot of time just relaxing outside enjoying the gardens and amazing bird estuary. My family also greatly enjoyed the beach that is just a short walk away. Not only is this cottage a wonderful and relaxing treat the owner is absolutely Amazing to deal with! Honestly, she could not have been more accommodating and kind to our family and I truly cannot thank her enough for her kindness and hospitality. This cottage is truly about relaxing and enjoying the beach life! | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | Thank you so much. It was lovely having you and the family as guests. It made us very happy to know that we were giving you a retreat! | |
8/10 | Good | Heidi M. | 13 Aug 2014 | None | None | Meticulously cared for beach home. | What you see if what you get–a lovely cottage retreat just a few blocks from the beach. Linda provides all you need and then some. She answered all our questions promptly, checked in with us during our stay, and had amazing support staff available to help out with anything we needed. The air conditioning and fans kept the house a very comfortable temperature. The water pressure was good and all the appliances were in good working order. The cost was higher than we are accustomed to, but certainly in keeping with the other rental properties in that area for that time of the year. My husband and I and our two girls loved our stay at this clean, beautifully furnished home. Families with very active kids may want to know that there is a gorgeous glass curio cabinet in the living room. We had bought the extra insurance offered through Home Away from Home and thankfully didn’t need it, but we definitely kept a careful eye on our busy 7-year old while she was in the house. We were a little stressed out on the few stormy days making sure the kids wouldn’t knock over anything precious, and we stayed outside most of the time. If you are a garden enthusiast, you’ll love what she has planted. We even saw swallow-tail caterpillars on the fennel plants! If you are a garden appreciator, you’ll love being on the hammock or in the screened porch, watching the osprey nests across the street. We picked up groceries at a local supermarket for picnics, breakfasts, and dinners. There are two restaurants within walking distance and plenty that deliver if you don’t want to cook. There is also a pellet stove for chillier evenings as the months progress. | |||
10/10 | Excellent | Brenda M. | 11 Aug 2014 | None | None | Beautifully decorated and kept cottage home. | Lovely home with comfortable feel. We sat outside in the morning with coffee looking at the beautifully maintained garden and enjoyed the evenings in the screened enclosure. The beach is a three minute walk which we often did several times a day. We also sat on the beach at night looking at the moon. The local restaurants were terrific. We also had lunch at 2 local marinas. We could not believe we were only an hour and 15 minutes from home. It felt as if we were far away at the beach! We would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a relaxing week away in a great surrounding. | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | I am so glad you enjoyed your experience! | |
10/10 | Excellent | Nicole H. | 5 Aug 2014 | None | None | Perfect for entertaining | My girlfriends and I rented this house for a small gathering for a colleague and it was everything we needed. Not to big and not too small. I wish we had more time to really take in the surroundings and the beautiful garden. The driveway was big enough to provide parking for our guests, the rooms were cozy and comfortable, and the living room space was perfect for our gathering. The owner Linda was very nice and personable and was available to answer any questions. We rent homes at least 2 times a year so I am confident that we will add this location to our favorites list! | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | Thank you for being such lovely guests. It gives me so much pleasure for others to enjoy my home! | |
10/10 | Excellent | Maria D. | 31 Jul 2014 | None | None | A perfect home away from home! | we arrived to a beautiful and immaculate house close to the beach and a great restaurant. everything was up to date and the owner checked in frequently to be sure we were happy. we had a wondering week and highly recommend to others!! Maria, LA | Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2023 | Pleasure to have hosted you! |
