About this house rental
Milford, CT has for well over 100 years had a thriving summertime beach community. This is an original vintage beach cottage that has evolved through the years to a darling year round home. But summertime is the best time of all. The history with photos of this wonderful cottage is posted for you to see.
A stand alone cottage with a driveway and small beautiful fenced yard, relaxing on the beach close by or on the ample deck is delightful. There is a communal parking lot steps away where you may park another car. This 954 sq. ft. home has two stories and a basement. There is one bathroom with a sweet clawfoot tub on the first floor off the kitchen. In this bathroom is a lovely vintage cut glass circular window above the toilet.
The kitchen is more than well equipped with a gas stove with oven, microwave, dishwasher, countertop oven and a combination full and one cup coffee maker. Pots and pans, regular and plastic dinnerware and glasses are available. The center island with butcher block top is handy for food prep and making sandwiches for the beach! Speaking of the beach you can be on the beach with a 3 minute walk! The refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker that will makes lots of ice and a freezer for your summertime treats.
The living room has a wall mounted TV, recliner chairs and and couch that opens to a queen size bed.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms with the master having an en suite bathroom with good size shower. The bed is queen size. Access to a deck off this bedroom gives you a place to unwind with a beverage or watch the stars, even fireworks from the beach on holidays!
The other bedroom has a trundle bed that makes for one or two twin beds.
Breezes off the beach are wonderful, but the cottage has air conditioning for perfect comfort all the time.
The owner has left lots of information about the area and summertime events, fun places to see, do and eat! Or you can just lounge on the beach...your choice, of course!
This little gem will give you everything you need to have a fantastic summer vacation.

The home was built in 1910 and I love older homes. If you do not like older homes you should not stay at this property

My family spent a relaxing month in this cozy, sweet cottage near several lovely beaches. Nancy and Scott are great hosts! The beautiful garden/backyard has comfortable chairs and sofa and provides opportunities to relax, read, listen to starlings songs, and see lovely sky and moonscapes. Some of my favorite moments were walking on nearby beaches during sunrises and sunsets. The Audubon Society, a fifteen minute walk away, offers great views of marches and an incredible beach. Milford is a sweet town with good restaurants. Thank you so much, Nancy & Scott!!!

Home Away From Home
Dear Scott and Nancy,
My family and I rented this property for a week and our expectations were exceeded at every turn! Check-in was so easy, we were able to immediately feel like we were at our home away from home. You were very accommodating, helpful, and responsive. We would like to highly recommend this property to any family looking for a relaxing family beach getaway. Thank you lots, Scott and Nancy!

Storybook House and Backyard
I loved the location! Perfect for bike riding, walking or jogging to Silver Sands State park, Walnut beach and the Audubon Center. There is easy beach access right around the corner and the backyard/garden is delightful.

Lovely Beach Cottage!
The beach cottage was clean, comfortable and very inviting. Didn't feel like a rental, it was like living in your own house. Lovely outdoor backyard & garden. Beach parking was a problem at first but the easily contactable owners were able to secure us a parking sticker so that we could park in the lots at 2 of the more popular beaches, Walnut Beach and Gulf Beach. It was also a great location for biking and walking. Had a wonderful 3 week stay!
