Nice house, the only thing was that there was no outside furniture. The host was nice and ordered some but it wasn’t assembled and we weren’t able to use it. Overall though a beautiful house!

Hi Cory! Pls accept our apologies for the backyard furniture not setup especially when you all were really looking forward to it. The timing didn’t work out right however I did have my son drive from NY to set up the new set for you guys. You sent him away as it rained the whole time during your stay. But rest assured, the backyard furniture is setup and awaiting your return 🙂 Again please accept our apologies.

This has been one of the best properties I’ve ever stayed at and truly exceeded all of my expectations. From the very beginning, the communication was outstanding. The host, Ayesha, was extremely responsive and replied within minutes every time. The home is located in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were perfect, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights, among many, was the theater room. We spent hours down there and absolutely loved it. My friends and I are already planning to return, especially during the warmer months so we can enjoy the nearby beach. Overall, this was a perfect home and an amazing experience.

The home is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel welcoming from the start.This is truly a fantastic property for families. There were plenty of toys and activities for kids to enjoy, as well as beach items that made our stay even more convenient and fun. The yard and deck are beautiful spaces to relax, play, and enjoy the surroundings, and there was more than enough parking for our group.What really sets this property apart is the host. Communication was exceptional before, during, and throughout our stay. The host was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had everything we needed.Every detail seemed carefully considered, and it was clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating such a comfortable experience for guests. We felt right at home and were able to fully relax and enjoy our time together as a family.This was one of the best vacation rentals we've stayed in, and we would happily return. If you're looking for a beautiful, family-friendly property with an attentive host and outstanding amenities, look no further. Five stars all around!

About the host

Hosted by Ayesha

Host profile image
We love the Milford shoreline and everything this area has to offer—from beach walks and coffee stops to relaxed evenings at home. We’ve put a lot of care into creating a space that’s comfortable, well-equipped, and easy to enjoy, whether you’re visiting for a beach weekend, a wedding, or time with family and friends.

We aim to be thoughtful, responsive hosts and want guests to feel at home from the moment they arrive.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area for its easy access to the shoreline and its relaxed, residential feel. Within minutes, you can be at Silver Sands State Park, Walnut Beach, or Wildermere Beach, yet the area itself remains quiet and family-friendly.

What we enjoy most is the balance—it’s close enough to beaches, coffee shops, and wedding venues to be convenient, but far enough removed to feel peaceful after a full day out. The neighborhood is ideal for morning walks, beach days, and low-key evenings at home.

It’s a great location for guests who want to enjoy Milford’s coastal charm while staying in a comfortable, well-situated home in a quiet neighborhood rather than a busy tourist area.

What makes this property unique

What sets this home apart is the combination of location, thoughtful amenities, and attention to comfort. Guests can enjoy full days at the beach and return to a home that’s just as enjoyable indoors.

The property offers a rare mix of features for the area, including a private home theater with a Smart TV and Sonos surround sound, a fitness area, and a fully stocked kitchen designed for real use. Every bedroom is prepared with premium bedding and high-quality linens, chosen to ensure a comfortable and restful night’s sleep.

The fenced yard and seasonal beach kit make summer stays especially easy for families and groups, while the home’s layout—featuring a first-floor couples’ retreat—provides flexibility and privacy for guests of different ages and needs.

Combined with proximity to multiple beaches and nearby wedding venues, this home works well for family vacations, group getaways, and event-related stays. Above all, it’s a space that’s well cared for, thoughtfully stocked, and designed to help guests relax without worrying about the details.
