Great location for our family for a Yale graduation weekend. Deck and charcoal grill were perfect for 2 cookouts. Plumbing needs updating. Less clutter suggested.

This house was so cluttered with a million things it felt claustrophobic. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The owner only provided sheets for one bed, and 2 towels and hand towels for the bath. Everything made us feel like like it wasn't our place to be there, as if we were intruders. The porch was large and right on the beach. It was a great spot. If only we could've stayed outside the whole time. There is no A/C, so if it gets hot, the rooms upstairs are sweltering. Some of the window screens had holes, so I didn't open them for fear of mosquitoes. The TV was only "Apple" TV and the owner couldn't explain how to work it. I couldn't even turn it on. While she genuinely seemed to want us to enjoy ourselves, I did not complain directly to her because there was really nothing she could do about it. It's a very old house/camp on the beach. If you feel like roughing it and paying top dollar--go for it! The walks on the beach at low tide were fantastic!
I will think twice before using VRBO again.

Quiet, peaceful, paradise!!
My girl friends and I stayed at this lovely property for the weekend. It’s a beautiful location, the Silver Sands Beach nearby, and of course the private beach spot in back of the house. Silver Sands has great views and walking (board walk around the beach with pleasant views of water & marsh). The house is close to New Haven—lots to do nearby! Large porch at the house with amazing views (perfect for our photos!!) Irina was sweet and helpful in offering ideas for activities! Friendly neighbors as well. The house is spacious, clean, and well-equipped with kitchen appliances. All in all—amazing, rejuvenating experience.

From the moment we stepped in we felt like this was our home away from home . Clean, well stocked kitchen cabinets, lots of room, great view, great hiking, across the street from a Greek restaurant with delicious food and a kind hostess.

Beautiful beach
From the house, I could walk to Charles Island when the tide is the ebb. It was Very quiet. There was nothing but the sound of the waves from both sides. I already miss the narrow path.

Truly Charming ....
The location was charming. Beautiful beach and view. Great Greek restaurant across the street. House is charming but no frills. Needs some updating or I would have given it a 5 star. Stairs are steep so I was worried about my Mom walking up the stairs but plenty of room to sleep 6.

Wonderful home right on best beach in Milford
Wonderful home for a family or group get together. Large outdoor porch with lots of room for everyone to relax. Although there is no air conditioning, I don't think this is ever needed. The cool breezes on even the hottest days...into 90s, will keep you comfortable. So great to just feel the fresh air and hear the waves. Beach is great. Kitchen has everything you need.

The owners are lovely people, charming older cottage and great location. But keep in mind lacking amenities like AC, TV/cable and gas grill.

Great stay
The house was clean, and larger than it looks in the photos. The kitchen had all the tools and utensils to easily accommodate 7 guests. Seating in the rear porch was plentiful and comfortable, there was also enough shade to sit outside all day and not worry about getting a sunburn. Irina was very responsive, and a pleasure to speak with. Overall, a great stay, and I would not hesitate to book again.
