"Laura's house in Milford, Connecticut is absolutely beautiful! The furniture is unique, comfy & adds to the atmosphere of the home. The interior is beautiful & so nicely coordinated. The home has every possible amenity a guest could ask for. We enjoyed morning coffee on each of the decks and we enjoyed the sunshine as we relaxed in the fenced in backyard. The home is on a quiet street with a view of the ocean from the front yard.

🌟"My friend & I had an amazing time here! It was very clean & had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable & so was the couch. The general style of the house was very unique & cute! We lucked out in winter & had a warm day & enjoyed sitting on the front porch! Our favorite part was taking the bikes to the boardwalk.

It is located steps from a public beach& has absolutely anything you might need! Plenty of outdoor spaces to relax, mult porches, extra toiletries & towels, a dog crate...even a cold beer mug ready in the freezer which was a nice touch. There were excellent sightseeing suggestions in the guide book & my which we went to visit every landmark listed. Also, the local deli makes great NYC-style sandwiches."
🌟"Amazing place! Fully loaded Beautiful, and Nicely decorated. Kayaks & bicycles were a great bonus! We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!"

🌟The pictures do not do this house justice! It was very clean, well-stocked & adorable! We walked to the boardwalk every morning to get some exercise.

Perfect Weekend in Walnut Beach
We had an awesome trip to Walnut Beach! The place was perfect - great location, walking distance to the beach and boardwalk. Close to a great coffee shop and a tremendous Lobster Roll at the Lazy Lobster! Evenings at the fire pit in the backyard was a perfect end to the day. We will be back. Thank you!!!

Beautiful Fall Weekend
We had a party of 4 adult family members along with our mini golden doodle. The property was clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We also enjoyed the gas fire place in the back yard. The fenced in yard was nice for our dog also. The property was in walking distance of pretty much anything you’d want and the beach was right there too. We would definitely rent this again. Thanks Laura & Dana!

The Big Easy
Property was well maintained and had everything to make the stay pleasant. Very comfortable, lots of amenities, great location from the short walk to the beach or even the shorter walk to the creamery. We enjoyed both! We even fit in a few movies. Would recommend for anyone who wants a relaxing atmosphere!!

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!

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.
