Cabin Rentals Reviews for Ennis Cottage on the Branford seaside in Coastal ConnecticutJuly 08, 2011Reviewer: Fatima & Bill From: NYC
We just got back from spending a lovely week at Ennis Cottage. This was our first beach vacation with our 9 month old daughter and it was the perfect situation. The cottage was very clean and tidy; the kitchen had everything we needed and we loved spending time in our little private backyard with the grill! The beach was very easily accessed and it was lovely to meet all their wonderful neighbors. We enjoyed several of the local restaurants, especially the Tuesday night 2 for 1 lobster dinner at Lenny's Lobster Shack...not to be missed! Overall we had a lovely time and Ron and Bernadette were extremely cordial! Thanks so much! January 12, 2010Reviewer: Rob Infantino From: Essex, VTI rented the Ennis cottage for my inlaws this past September and it was a weekend dream come true for them. I used to live in Branford and there is allot to do in the area and great places to eat, the islands to see, etc. The cottage and beach are really better that the photos. The Hekelers are great hosts, it was easy to come and go. It made our (my inlaws and my family) weekend in CT a wonderfully memorable one. October 04, 2009Reviewer: Diane & Gary Kleitz From: Kingston, NYThe cottage in Branford was lovely, very clean & well equipt. The location was wonderful with good beach access and walking the beach was great. It is near many good restaurants & also close to art museums & shopping. Ron & Bernie were very friendly & helpful. Would definitely stay at the cottage. again October 28, 2008Reviewer: Paula From: Lawrence, KSWe stayed at the Ennis Cottage while visiting our daughter for parents' weekend at Yale. It was perfect for our purpose. 15-20 minute drive to New Haven, fully equipped kitchen allowed for family meals. Very clean and nicely decorated. October 26, 2008Reviewer: Annette Schiotz From: DK-4581 Roervig, DenmarkWe have just spent 2 wonderful weeks in the Ennis Cottage from Oct. 4 - Oct. 18, 2008. It was wonderful! The cottage was just what we had dreamed of: comfortable and with all the modern conveniences imaginable. At the same time it was so cozy and warm pleasant, that we felt at home right away. And our hosts were just the kindest and most hospitable people! We could not have wanted a better place to spend a fall fortnight in New England. The weather, the house, the location, the kind owners were just perfect. September 05, 2008Reviewer: Agatha From: Warrenton,VAOur stay at Ennis was lovely! The back yard was very private and beautiful! The beach was clean and great for the kids! Thanks for letting us use your cottage for the week! An extra day would have made our trip perfect. January 16, 2008Reviewer: Alex From: Alena, and kids, Farmington,We would like to Thank Ron and his wife for the kindness, hospitality, and attentiveness to our needs during our seemingly so short week at the property. The passion and love they give while designing and maintaining this absolutely amazing piece of property is hard to overestimate. The location is beautiful and convenient. The tranquility of the surrounding ocean shore islands and friendly and hospitable atmosphere in the very neighborhood recharge us for many days ahead. We would like to thank Ron and his wife from the bottom of our harts. We definitely recommend anyone who appreciate closest shore location (from CT perspective), extremely clean and quiet environmental, and value for their vacation dollars to stay at Ennis cottage. August 22, 2007Reviewer: Anonymous From: Marietta, GeorgiaI grew up in Branford and have always stayed with kind friends and family members. This year I really wanted to rent something near the beach and have some privacy and this cottage is perfect!Cozy, comfortable and our hosts were always helpful. July 30, 2006Reviewer: Alice Shechter From: Brooklyn NY
Ennis Cottage is a charming, convenient, comfortable place to saty. We had a great week in Branford, enjoyed the Thimble Islands and several VERY good seafood meals, but mostly we loved the beach and reading in the quiet backyard and the friendly neighbors (including the owners, Ron and Bernie--they are just great.) The cottage is spotless, all new furnishings, fully equipped. We really had a perfect week, and recommend it most enthusiatically. September 13, 2005Reviewer: Robert Troha From: Kenvil, NJ
Comments: Dear Ron and Bernie, July 24, 2005Reviewer: AnonymousMy first stay at the newly renovated Ennis cottage. A delightful retreat. It was roomy and comfortable for the two of us and certainly terrific for one. The cottage is beautifully kept and equipped and central to all the things I needed and wanted to do. The owners are friendly and helpful. July 13, 2005Reviewer: Anonymous
Our third stay in the Ennis cottage was delightful. Each year it gets better. The new renovations made the cottage stay much more enjoyable. The lighting was great, the new windows work well, and the renovated kitchen and bath were major improvements. The raised ceiling makes the living area appear much larger. We hope to be back again next year. February 12, 2005Reviewer: dave and tura vancini
Well I can't believe it's time to think December 09, 2004Reviewer: AnonymousOur week at the Ennis cottage was enjoyable- clean and comfortable. We loved the location for walking. Ron and Bernie made us feel right at home. Donna and Al July 09, 2004Reviewer: Al and Nancy Fratini From: Dayton, OHOur second stay at the cottage was thoroughly enjoyable.

October 21, 2003Reviewer: Tracey & BobWe recently spent a relaxing and enjoyable two weeks at the Ennis Cottage. The location is wonderful with a lovely beach right across the street. Ron and Bernie are friendly and made us feel very much at home. The cottage was clean and well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. Though the cottage is small, it was plenty big enough for our family of four. We hope to come back again sometime. Thank you Ron and Bernie!!
