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 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!!!

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.

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!
