About this property
Laurel Beach-Milford
- This is a classic 1920 type beach home with a very unique and gracious style. The home has plenty of room for all to either enjoy as a family and or also have alone time at the house. The beach is only about 100 yards away, and the house is located on a 7th Ave in Milford CT in Laurel Beach Association. The house has a large open floor plan on the first floor. This open floor plan includes a large working kitchen and creates an atmosphere of unity and family fun. The home offers a large porch that can be accessed through French Doors that lead back into the living room and open kitchen area. It is the kitchen for a family that cooks and doesn't eat out. In the living room is a 70 inch TV to watch movies at night. The home also has a large outdoor shower and changing area so that you can wash off outside prior to coming into the house. With one bedroom downstairs with its own full bathroom, and 4 bedrooms on the second floor with a full bathroom. The First floor is open and spacious with great flow. The French doors lead you right out of the house onto the deck. Or you can relax and dine on your covered porch. The home is naturally cooled by sea breezes or there is air conditioning if you prefer. The driveway provides parking for 6-8 cars, and the house is located on a double lot.
Milford has great family shopping! We have a Whole Foods, Trader Joes and Costco, all within 3 miles from the beach. It’s a great house for a family with kids or a large family.

Old Fashioned summer
This house is for people who truly appreciate summer in New England. Don't pass up the opportunity to experience a vacation that will take you back in time to the lazy days...but you still get a gigantic, huge flat screen TV to watch Jaws on with all your friends!

lots of space (indoors and out), great beach
We were looking for a house that had lots of space for a family gathering and a bedroom/bathroom on the ground floor for our eldest generation. This house had both those things, which is rare in Milford Beach rental properties I have seen.
The owner was very responsive to all our communications and provided everything advertised in the listing. The house has the needed household essentials. There's lots of sitting area inside, a large screened porch, and large outdoor deck. Great for gathering everyone. We also appreciated the abundant parking...I think we were able to accommodate 5 cars on the property, and there was usually nearby street parking as well.
A couple of things to keep in mind: there are 2-3 steps from the main floor to the 1st floor bedroom. My parents were able to navigate it, but seriously mobility-challenged people may struggle.
Also, while most rooms have A/C units, a couple don't. We were very glad that on a very hot day in August, we were able to run all the A/Cs without any power issues.

Family Holiday
This house was just what we needed for family to gather to celebrate the holidays. The kitchen supplied everything needed to have 12 people for a seated meal. The owner was very available and helpful as well. Would love to enjoy it again in a warmer, beach-friendly season.

Wonderful
We just returned from a lovely post-Christmas stay in Milford. The house was stunning and just a quick walk to lovely Laurel Beach. The kitchen was well-appointed with enough room to prepare meals and entertain. The house has an amazing layout that allowed us to spread out. Both bathrooms are recently updated, as is the kitchen. We can’t wait to come back during the summer to enjoy the porches and the ocean view. Brad was easy to reach and very pleasant to work with throughout the days leading up to our stay. I would highly recommend this beautiful beach house.

Beautiful house by the beach
This house was amazing and provided everything we needed during our stay. It's a very short walk down to the beach, which is beautiful. The beds were comfortable and it was close to everything. The reason I gave 4 stars is because of a strong mildew like smell in the downstairs bedroom/ bathroom. Other than that the house was perfect.

Perfect match for our family, loved the beach, plenty of room
This is a large old colonial house just steps from the beach. The owner has done a good job in updating, but house is over 100 years old and there will always be some minor repairs or adjustments needed. The AC in one of the bedrooms broke, I bought and installed a new one, and owner immediately thanked me and brought a check over to reimburse me. Colorful guy, great attitude.

Great Beach House in Milford
This home is far more charming than the pictures indicate! Well stocked for cooking and relaxing. Two minute walk to the beach and short walk to the Audobon Center and the shops at Walnut Beach. Minor plumbing issue that was handled promptly and cheerfully - this is an old house, so stuff happens. We look forward to staying here again.

Beach house
I rented this house for a month. It was wonderful. Very close to the beach in a great neighborhood.
Plenty of room for my family and dog! The beach was perfect, warm clear water. The children had room to play outside, plenty of parking. The home is old but well kept. It was the best rental I have ever had. The family went into New York City by train, very convenient. Hope to rent again next year. Thank you Brad.
