beautifully decorated had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Owner was wonderful and helpful. Beautiful place to stay and convenient

Wonderful weekend getaway. Richard was a terrific host. Fully appointed and intentional accommodations. Quaint town with good restaurants and theatre in walking distance. Easy drive to beach

I am from the area and had to go back for family business. Richard was an amazing and gracious host. The property was beautiful with a spacious room, comfortable bed, very clean and tasteful decor. If you're going to spend the money, this is 200% better than any hotel in the area you'll find. I highly recommend this place. I have posted numerous reviews on VRBO and this has my highest recommendation. Thanks very much for the great stay! 1 very, very small caveat, these rooms are for adults only. I do not recommend them for children. A lot of glass and breakable items.

Wonderful host! Lovely setting. Perfect suite - luxurious shower with fluffy towels. Ironed bed linen!!! Close to downtown restaurants and local beaches. Our third visit.

The Charleston is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. There is great attention to detail. Richard is a wonderful host. Looking forward to staying in the future. :)

Amazing property and wonderful host! We spent the weekend for our anniversary. The home is beautiful, as was our room. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. Restaurants are within walking distance so we walked into town each evening and tried a new place to eat. The ice cream from the ice cream shop nearby is good too. The Doghead Fish Brewery and the outlets are all close by and make for good ways to spend the days. Would definitely come back to this one!

What a beautiful place in a quaint town. The decor was peaceful, uncluttered, and immaculate. The Inn is a new home with all the charm and beauty of something much older. We had coffee every morning on our private deck overlooking the lawn/ garden. We cannot wait to go back again! Richard is an impressive artist and was a wonderful host.

This is a new and gorgeous Inn that looks like it could be in Charleston. Richard is a wonderful host - super personable and responsive. The suites are big and beautiful with lots of lovely touches. The bathroom is also big with a nice walk-in shower and amenities. The Contessa Suite where we stayed has a wonderful balcony with seating, overlooking the beautiful garden. Milton is about a 20-30 minute drive to Lewes and Rehoboth beach. Very centrally located. It is a small town with a wonderful bakery and several restaurants. We will go back there if we visit the area again and highly recommend it.

No matter the occasion, if you’re in search of a spotless cozy private oasis, The Charleston of Milton Inn is your place! Richard, our host, has quite literally thought of everything to ensure their guests comfort. From the second you pull up, you feel like you’re in a southern bed & breakfast. Soft music welcomes you to the private porch and beautifully landscaped garden. Our room was perfect. Fresh clean plush (better than) hotel towels & robes made us feel like we were being pampered. The what felt like, 900 + thread count sheets were a bonus, but then they went up a notch by ironing them! And the kitchenette. It may be tiny, but it contained everything you need to heat & store your food, or enjoy a hot cup of tea/coffee. There was even coffee creamer. And not the powdery kind, real cream. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on our private balcony enjoying the sounds of nature, and watching the bunnies run around the garden. Do yourself a favor and book yourself this special experience.

Richard you were so welcoming and it was a pleasure to stay in the Contessa Suite! It was immaculate and comfortable!! The decor was beautiful! We enjoyed the small town feel, like stepping back in time and living at a relaxing, slower pace! Wonderful place to visit if you want a relaxing vacation to recharge!! The garden is beautiful w the cozy balcony perfect for escaping into a book!

Always Aplus. Elegant enjoyable and engaging Luxurious stunning fun great gardens

This is a lovely facility, in a great location. It is near enough to the beach communities, while being away from the throng and traffic. Easy walk into the charming downtown Milton, with good restaurants, coffee shop, etc. Richard is meticulous and has though of everything one might need. A real find!

We loved staying at The Charleston! The room is perfect, and the entire property is well appointed. Whether we were in our room, on our private balcony or enjoying one of the many seating areas on the grounds, the atmosphere is calm and cozy. Everything is clean and perfectly manicure and beautifully decorated. There are also little extras everywhere... coffee, tea, creamer, chocolates. The bathroom has ample space for hanging towels and my cosmetic bag. If there would have been anything we would have needed, our host, was there to help! Thanks, Richard, for another wonderful summer escape. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

We stayed at the Charleston in Milton for three days to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. I can’t say enough about the host Richard, he makes sure every need is met and has a wonderful sense of humor. The home and property are beautiful. There are a lot of cute shops and restaurants within walking distance. If you were looking for a relaxing stay away from the crowds this is your place.

The property was beautiful, our host Richard was very kind and accommodating. I’m not one to usually leave reviews but felt very compelled to do so this time. Will certainly be back again!

We had a great stay in this beautiful house. The house is a real germ; it is a replica of the Charleston old house. The unit is sparkly clean and has everything you need. Richard, the owner, was very friendly and took time to show us around. We love the location: it is only 25 min from Henlopen State park, away from the crowd. We will definitely come back.

My husband and I had an enjoyable 3 nights staying in Contessa's Suite! This home is beautifully decorated with a well manicured lawn. It was really nice to have a private balcony overlooking the lawn, especially as we had one day of rain! After spending another day at the Cape Henlopen state park beach, I loved being able to walk across the hall from our room to the laundry room to launder our towels for the next day! My husband liked the coffee maker and fresh half/half that was in our refrigerator! The bed was super comfy and the house was super clean! We took advantage of the short walk to buy ice cream each night and the Irish Eyes restaurant was our favorite a few blocks away. Easy parking as well! Thanks Richard for the great stay!

Stayed 2 nights at this gorgeous property in July 2023. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. Richard the property owner is a wonderful man and super friendly. The room was squeaky clean and made this stay perfect. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again for a great stay.

5 stars! Exceptionally clean. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Within walking distance to restaurants in Milton. Quick drive to Delaware’s beaches. We had a wonderful visit and the host, Richard, was so accommodating, kind and welcoming.

Our stay was just perfect! Richard was an amazing host who had planned all the right touches from the room and private balcony to the luxury towels. He even made sure there was a power strip on either side of the bed. Milton was a lovely town and the Charleston of Milton was fantastic!!

My husband and I were very happy with The Charleston at Milton Inn. It is elegant with attention to details. Immaculate! Our host, Richard, was welcoming and accommodating. We highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed. Bob and Patti

Great accomodations, Richard was the perfect host! Milton is a hidden gem in DE, close to the botanic garden and some good antiquing.

Great

The owners were so sweet and the breakfasts were delicious! Our bedroom was beautiful and we had a great time! Gorgeous place! The only things we would recommend for any future changes would be to make sure the heat is on....really cold our second night, and a bathroom with a shower/shower curtain. Otherwise it was the perfect getaway and we may definitely visit again one day!

We loved our stay at The Charleston! Our host Richard was wonderful! The house is super clean, smells great, and I loved the bed! So comfortable and cozy! Cute town too and everything was within walking distance. It was the perfect getaway for us.

What a wonderful house and suite! Newly built with every detail perfect and beautifully designed. Richard was very welcoming and looked after our every need. We enjoyed the proximity to Cape Henlopen and Lewes which made for an enjoyable getaway. Hope to go again soon!

What a wonderful gem! The attention to details in the interior space is flawless, all lovingly selected and displayed. An ingenious mix of contemporary and vintage art and decor, as well as beautifully landscaped gardens. The host is very welcoming and accommodating, literally giving us “the shirt off his back” when my husband forgot his white shirt for a black tie wedding.. Richard came to our rescue! Thank you! You are amazing!

We wanted a nice place in a low-key area that was close to our places to explore. The Contessa Suite was such a place, but more elegant than expected. Basically, it looked brand new in a historical style, furnished with lots of art and sparkling surfaces that just felt good. The suite had an outdoor balcony for relaxing, and, an area for simple food prep, with sink and mini-frig, plus nice dinnerware for 2 guests. Also coffee and teas for sipping. Richard was a very gracious and friendly host, able to answer our questions and accommodate any needs we had. We were close to a small historical downtown area where citizens gathered for various local Fall events. Fairly cozy and artsy. Our place made a good base for us to visit Prime Hook Wildlife Reserve, Lewes and Cape Henlopen State Park, a lavender farm and Rehoboth Beach for a delightful French style dinner! Our visit was short but very sweet! We will come again when we visit the area to stay!

When we arrived, we were greeted by the host Richard who was absolutely amazing. When he showed us the room, it was so elegant! I loved the way it was decorated along with how comfortable it appeared and felt. The private balcony, bed, as well as the shower is what sold me. It was very peaceful and quiet. We loved every bit of our stay. Richard even offered us some firewood for our bond fire at the beach.

More than we expected. Beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable, well appointed kitchen for our quiet meals in and beautiful, peaceful balcony for reading and coffee. Our host became an instant friend, showing my contractor husband all the work lovingly put into this hidden gem in Milton, DE. Who knew Milton? Now I want to live there. 😊

PERFECT in every way . So elegant. Everything available in the highest of taste. Can’t wait to book again

Richard, the owner, was more than hospitable. The property was beautiful, relaxing with great attention to detail. The location in Milton was quiet but close enough for easy beach access. Nearby restaurants and ice cream in Milton were top notch.
