Relaxing stay. Beach just at end of street, biking, and the ice cream shop just around the corner.

The experience was very good. Everything was as she said.

It was great to get back to Connecticut and visit friends (and eat pizza!), and Tina's house was the perfect place to stay. Just down the street from the beach, it's a beautiful location and a very lovely house - plenty of room to enjoy with a few friends, the bed was comfortable, and everything worked as expected. The house has everything you need, and the convenience store is a short walk around the block. Tina was great to deal with and helpful; looking forward to getting back here next summer to spend more time on the beach.

The location is great and a peaceful place for a family vacation. You will find everything you need for a nice stay. Quiet and cosy little yard. House is well located, but extremely busy with the owners personal items and decorations. Be careful and make sure you place every item back to their place or you will be charge a retainer fee from the security deposit. Same thing with cleaning up before leaving.. do as much as possible to clean up before leaving or it will cost you. In the contract, the estimated cost for cleaning was 150$ and we where not to do the laundry... unfortunately, we were charged an additional 100$. We have to mention, that if you have back problems and like firm bed mattresses, you will be extremely disappointed. They are soft super soft, I'd even say lumped and offer very little comfort. Oh! and in the basement, where you will need to go to do some laundry, there is a very strong smell of moth balls to cover up a very bad smell. ( we believe it was cat urine)

The house is beautifully and tastefully decorated. It literally has everything you need right down to the ingredients to make S'Mores. You could literally parachute in with your clothes and some groceries and not need a single other thing. Tina was a great host - answered questions promptly and provided good suggestions when asked. We spent time at both Walnut Beach and the Silver Strand state park beach. Both are nice but bring your water shoes or flip flops. Lots of families as there are no big waves on the sound and the low tide leaves pools with fish and hermit crabs to watch. The teens in our group also walked out to Charles Island at low tide - easy to do. The backyard was a favorite place - nice gardens and fires in the Chimera and watching the fireflies in the evening. Don't miss the Walnut Beach Creamery - fantastic ice cream with unique flavors - it was hard not to visit every day. Costa Azzura Italian restaurant is a 5 minute walk - good basic Italian with big portions and friendly staff. In fact, everyone in town is friendly. There's a nice mile long boardwalk to the state park - great for morning walks or runs. Beach tends to be crowded on weekends but weekdays were pleasant. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. This was different for us as we previously had been to Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks, Cape May, Ocean City and Cape Cod. We wanted a place that was closer as we brought my wife's 85 year old mother - she had a great time reading and relaxing on the beach and in the backyard. The only downside is a lack of nightlife. There's a well stocked liquor store, a nice deli, the ice cream and bakery next door and one local dining spot that we didn't visit. For anything else you need to travel a bit. There's lots near by however. Don't miss the Greek Spot on the other side of the state park - great food. In summary, we had a great time and the history of the area is fascinating - the book on the living room bookshelf - Sand in Our Shoes - tells the story with pictures and personal recollections - was a very interesting read.

Wonderful well appointed cottage. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Backyard is adorable and cottage is in walking distance to beach. Had a wonderful time.

This house was in a perfect location. Close to the beach. There were many small quiet eateries to visit as well as a nice little ice cream shop. Tina was very helpful and answered all our questions.

We really enjoyed our stay in Milford. Tina was a great host, responded to any requests we had and supplied everything we needed. The house is nicely furnished and there are lots of little extras that help make a stay enjoyable - from spices and coffee to games and beach equipment. We slept 5 comfortably in the bedrooms and when we had 2 family members visit one night, the living room pull-out accommodated them nicely. The neighborhood is nice with a few restaurants etc. The beach down the street isn't set up for swimming but 4-5 blocks away there is a very nice public beach.

We stayed for 2 months the place was great. Well maintained and clean. Tina the owner is very helpful if you need anything. The area is close to anything you could need. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a place to stay for an extended time or just for a quick vacation.

We were there for 4 months and loved every minute of it. Tina is fabulous and went above and beyond what we could ever expect. Wish we could have experienced summer in this home. Everyone in Milford and Walnut Beach was so nice. We will definitely come back.

We stayed in this home during a very hot week in August and had a great time. Our goal was to get away with our grown kids for relaxation and low-key fun and this spot was perfect. The house is truly within walking distance of a nice beach. The state park, just a bit farther, is even nicer. We enjoyed wading in the lengthy area of shallow water, collecting shells, and walking and jogging along the boardwalk and especially out to the little island during low tide. The house is on a quiet street with a driveway that held both of our cars. It was very clean. The rooms seemed smaller than they looked in the photos but it was just the right size for our family of five. The master bedroom was spacious, and our three adult children each had their own space – two in bedrooms and one in the living room on the sofa bed. The dining area was a little cramped, but on the plus side, the table was spacious. Everything we needed was in the house. We loved the picnic table in the backyard for breakfast and a lobster cookout. This was our first time using VRBO and we were overall satisfied. We were a little concerned about sending money in advance, but everything worked out fine and our deposit was refunded within days. We expected to clean up after ourselves, of course, but didn’t think about needing to do things like watering the yard, putting the trash out to the curb, etc. No big deal, but just unexpected. It was truly like staying in someone’s home – we were! – so there were photos and decorations around. Tina gave detailed written instructions so we could refer to them to find answers to any questions and she responded quickly to a few texts with questions. Tina really cares about making tenants happy. Thanks, Tina!
