The space
The Blue Bungalow is a charming single-family waterfront home located directly on the Quinnipiac River, offering sweeping views, a full private backyard, and front-row access to marina life. Nestled in the historic Fair Haven neighborhood, this peaceful retreat is just 7 minutes from downtown New Haven, Yale University, and world-renowned pizza spots like Pepe’s, Sally’s, and Modern.

Directly across the street, you’ll find the Fair Haven Oyster Company, a high-end coastal restaurant and cocktail bar perfect for waterfront dining. In the warmer months, guests can also enjoy a seasonal food cart steps away—serving up lobster rolls, cold drinks, and laid-back summer fare.

This home includes free off-street parking, high-speed WiFi, a full kitchen, and cozy furnishings, making it ideal for short stays or longer waterfront getaways. For outdoor adventure, the marina offers kayak and electric boat rentals, plus 90-minute private charter or sunset cruises—all available to book during your stay.

Just a 10-minute drive to Lighthouse Point Beach and a short walk to scenic riverfront paths, the Blue Bungalow is the perfect home base to explore coastal Connecticut or unwind in a tranquil, maritime setting.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, family vacation, or weekend with friends, this delightful riverside home has everything you need for a memorable summer stay.
