LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...plus comfy beds. I was touring coastal Delaware for a potential move to the area. This home is perfectly located to see all of the communities like: Lewes, Rehoboth, Georgetown, Haeberson. Additionally, if you like beer...Dog Fish is literally around the corner, and Dewey Beer is 6-minutes away.

Lovely place with a perfect location. We only stayed one night but look forward to visiting again. The added bonus was the spacious yard for our two dogs.

Absolutely fabulous! I ask a lot of questions when traveling and our host always got back to me no matter what time of day. The yard is beautiful in multiple spaces for working, sleeping, relaxing, and even a table for puzzles or gaming.

Cute and unique house, great location, loved the yard- wish the dining table was bigger and sturdy for a family of 5. The host had been great at staying in touch.

We stayed here for a guys' golf trip weekend, and everything was amazing. I cannot recommend this historic house enough. It's within walking distance of much of what Milton has to offer and a relatively short drive to several excellent golf courses. Kelly was a fantastic host—her communication and local knowledge were both incredible. I'll definitely be looking to book this place again in the summer to take advantage of the yard and its proximity to the ocean.

The house was so cute! The gardens in the back and around the front entry were really amazing and added to the charm. When you walk in the little hall way goes left to a living area or right to a set of stairs that leads to the upper floor. The upstairs has a huge bathroom and 3 bedrooms. The bedroom all the way to the left has 2 beds and a kitchenette in it which was pretty cool. The other side of the hall has a queen bedroom and a single bedroom. The upstairs also has a door at the bottom which can be closed to make 2 apartments. Downstairs has a master king ensuite bedroom with a really comfortable mattress (its very firm but i love that). The whole house had really nice blinds for privacy. There is a galley like kitchen which is small but was perfect for us. An entry to the backyard gardens and paths is right off the kitchen. There is a dining room off of the livingroom that has a door with a cute bell on the bottom that leads to a deck. The entire yard is fenced in. It was perfect for our pup to run around in. We really enjoyed the decor of the place and the historical cosiness of it! It reminds me of a little Halloween house! The picket fence and the front entry add so much charm and sort of take you back in history. The house also seems to be cat friendly! There is a cat tree and catdoors all around! I wish i could have traveled with my cats! They would have appreciated the house as much as I did! The place is also close to town. The host is friendly and responsive!
