Salty Kisses Beach Cottage Milford CT

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 51 reviews8 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at Salty Kisses. The home is very comfortable and extremely well appointed. We enjoyed the proximity to the ocean as well as the ability to relax in the yard on the hammock or by the fire pit. Denise was very responsive to all communications and gave us lots of information about the area. Thank you for being such a great hostess!

Beach Home & Garden Paradise

5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews3 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay in Brian's charming home. The house is even more luxurious than in the photos--everything is first-class from the beds and linens; to the spacious kitchen with every new appliance you could need; to the comfy living room area with huge flat-screen TV. We had more than enough room for our family of four and our kids loved how close the private beach was, literally out the door. They kayaked and enjoyed walks on the beach. The area is in a very quiet, private neighborhood with close access to the shops and restaurants on Madison's main street. A perfect retreat any time of year, we hope to come back soon.

Westshore Luxury

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviews1 week ago

We loved our few days here. the house and amenities great and exactly as described. We were a family of four travelling from the UK and wanted a few days out of NYC (our main destination) for a change of pace. The property is in a very quiet residential area a minute away from the beautiful beach. It was very quiet in a chilly April but I guess may be quite different in the summer! We house was walkable (about 10/15 mins) from the main strip of shops and restaurants and a quick drive (10-15 mins) to New Haven for lots of other dining options. We enjoyed trips to New haven and Mystic during our visit. Would recommend!

This house is absolutely perfect. It's clean, charming, has everything you need. The beautiful back yard has plenty of space and good stuff for kids to play with. Also, it's about a 30 second walk to the beach... neighbors are out on their patch of beach but yours is yours to yourself. It's perfect. We cannot wait to come back.

Seaside Cottage: water views, walk to beaches!

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 71 reviews1 week ago

Ken is hands down the best host I’ve ever had. He not only genuinely cares about the property but also the people who stay there. We booked on very short notice due to a family emergency and he wasted no time getting that place together for us. We stayed for almost a full 2 weeks and every day Ken just does a good morning text making sure everything is good! Very consistent and considerate host! The location is nice, it’s sits across the road from the LI sound but you’re able to still see the water from the front porch. My morning runs were filled with dog walkers, other runners and some very impressive homes and beautiful ocean side runs. The back yard is perfect for a family BBQ after a beach day. He has so many different toiletries and amenities at the house where you can almost come with nothing but clothes and be perfectly fine. I rate the host and the property 5stars because that’s the experience I guarantee you’ll have as well.
