"Laura and Dana were amazing hosts! They always communicated well, helped us with anything we needed, and made sure we had a great time. Their vacation rentals are the best I have ever seen. The place was stunning and spotless. You won't regret booking with them!"

Why they chose this property

🌟The home is eccentric and tastefully art-filled. Guests have a surreal experience and are compelled to leave reviews like this .....

🌟"Incredible location, the cutest house!! Loved sitting and drinking coffee on the porches!! Easy walk to the beach and close to all the amenities in town! House was super clean and adorable! Would love to stay again in the summer!!!"

🌟"This place was perfect for the weekend. It was clean, well thought out with personal touches, and cozy. The location was great, easily walkable to the beach and some downtown shops. We would definitely stay here again!"

🌟"I highly recommend choosing this place to escape any stress and pressure you might have. It’s a magical, cozy home with just the right amount of charm and all the benefits of new and modern. Hard to explain how it feels but what I can say is that I took my 13-year-old, 17-year-old, and boyfriend and we all had a profound, positive reaction. It was as though so much care and thought were put into the home that it spoke to each of us in some unique capacity. Our host Laura was beyond attentive and far exceeded my expectations! The serenity of the beach and breathtaking natural scenery complete with butterflies made this trip incredibly peaceful and good for the soul. A true reboot! I will definitely be returning!!!"

What makes this property unique

Walnut Beach has been coined the Art District of Milford; street art, musicians, and galleries of all sorts.

Milford offers 17 miles of coastland and hundreds of beach access points but Walnut Beach is by far the most unique!

Paddle board, kayak or cycle using the ones at the home or rent from Scoot & Paddle at the beach.

The nearby Audubon Nature Center on the Housatonic River provides excellent summer programs for families with young children and river marshes are a favorite of kayakers.
