Oceanfront Milford Home w/ View & Boat Access

Reviews

• 5/5

  A across the board! The house was comfortable and well appointed. The view was beautiful. The area was peaceful and quiet and private. We fished right out the back door practically and witnessed shiny sunrises and shimmering sunsets from the enormous waterfront deck. The hosts were phenomenal with great communication and very accomodating. I wish i could live right there. We hope to visit again. Highly recommend

  5/5

  This place was awesome, and the hosts were even better! It has a beautiful waterfront view and an enormous deck to enjoy it from. You will not see a more gorgeous sunset than from the deck in the evenings. We also enjoyed fishing right from the dock with the reels that the owners already had set up for us. The house is welcoming and has comfortable beds! The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. It is privately tucked on a dead-end road so no thru traffic. The neighbors are also very friendly. I wish I had been able to stay longer, and we hope to come back again. A+ across the board. Thanks for a great memorable stay!

• Not Ocean front but Canal front

  3/5

  First the house was clean when we arrived.

  The negatives:

  1. Not Ocean Front. It is located on the Cedar creek Canal which is connected to the Delaware Bay so you are about 30 minutes (without traffic) from Lewes, most days it took us an hour because of traffic to get to Lewes and Rehoboth Beach.

  2. The basement was used as a storage area and not a "game room" as advertised. There was a larger flat screen T.V. sitting on the Air Hockey table when we arrived.

  3. The basement was so hot that even if we did check to see if the air hockey table worked you could not stay down there for long.

  4. All rooms but one, had a T.V. The master room had 2 T.V.'s one of which did not work.

  5. The window AC units that were in the 3 bedrooms (not master) were not installed very well. They were tilted out of the windows a bit which caused there to be gaps that we ended up putting hand towels in to cover.

  6. The craftsmanship of the remodel is mediocre. You can see drywall tape that was not properly done above the fridge, the master shower seat leans in which causes water to pool up, there are multiple areas where there is no caulking at all.

  7. Outlets in the bathroom off of the kitchen do not work.

  8. Lots of personal food ( in fridge, pantry and freezer), toiletries, mail, and random household junk still in the home. That made it feel as if it was the owners fishing camp more than a rental house for out of towners.

  9. There is so much decorations (all over the house) on the shelves that you have nowhere to set your dry goods, snacks, or even drinks that do not fit in the fridge (again lots of personal food left). We ended up combining lots of decorations on multiple spots to have space.

  10. When we stripped the beds per the cleanup request the master bed is riddled with stains which we did not know about until check out. Underneath the beds has also not been cleaned in a while there was a lot of dust that was not cause by the one week stay we had.

  PROS:

  1. The guest contact (he is the owner of the house. Confirmed that by the mail left in the house) is easy to to get a hold of and quick to respond (within the hour).

  2. The Main house air-condoning works really well.

  3. The couch and armchair are both very comfortable.

  4. Washer and dryer both work well and were used daily.

  5. Plenty of room to park 2 pick-ups in the drive with additional parking in the gravel on the other side of driveway/road.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Walter, thanks for your thoughtful review and for highlighting what you enjoyed. We’re so glad the home felt spacious and comfortable, and that communication was smooth throughout your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your comments, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The window A/C units are installed to tilt outward for proper drainage, but we’ll double-check the seals to prevent any gaps in the future.
  - The basement is used seasonally and can get warmer during summer months, but many guests still enjoy the space and its amenities when conditions allow.
  - The master shower seat is intentionally sloped to prevent water from pooling, and minor drywall repairs above the fridge are in progress following a previous leak.
  - We leave basic condiments and some household items for guest convenience and will take a fresh look at how we balance those with available shelf and fridge space.
  Thanks again for your feedback. We’ll continue working to make each stay even better!

  We stayed for 2 nights while at a lacrosse tournament. Perfect proximity to come back after games all day, make some burgers on the deck and get some fishing in. Owner was communicative and we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
