About this property

Milford, CT has for well over 100 years had a thriving summertime beach community. This is an original vintage beach cottage that has evolved through the years to a darling year round home. But summertime is the best time of all. The history with photos of this wonderful cottage is posted for you to see.

A stand alone cottage with a driveway and small beautiful fenced yard, relaxing on the beach close by or on the ample deck is delightful. There is a communal parking lot steps away where you may park another car. This 954 sq. ft. home has two stories and a basement. There is one bathroom with a sweet clawfoot tub on the first floor off the kitchen. In this bathroom is a lovely vintage cut glass circular window above the toilet.

The kitchen is more than well equipped with a gas stove with oven, microwave, dishwasher, countertop oven and a combination full and one cup coffee maker. Pots and pans, regular and plastic dinnerware and glasses are available. The center island with butcher block top is handy for food prep and making sandwiches for the beach! Speaking of the beach you can be on the beach with a 3 minute walk! The refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker that will makes lots of ice and a freezer for your summertime treats.

The living room has a wall mounted TV, recliner chairs and and couch that opens to a queen size bed.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms with the master having an en suite bathroom with good size shower. The bed is queen size. Access to a deck off this bedroom gives you a place to unwind with a beverage or watch the stars, even fireworks from the beach on holidays!

The other bedroom has a trundle bed that makes for one or two twin beds.

Breezes off the beach are wonderful, but the cottage has air conditioning for perfect comfort all the time.

The owner has left lots of information about the area and summertime events, fun places to see, do and eat! Or you can just lounge on the beach...your choice, of course!

This little gem will give you everything you need to have a fantastic summer vacation.

Historic home

The home was built in 1910 and I love older homes. If you do not like older homes you should not stay at this property

Cozy, comfortable cottage in Milford

My family spent a relaxing month in this cozy, sweet cottage near several lovely beaches. Nancy and Scott are great hosts! The beautiful garden/backyard has comfortable chairs and sofa and provides opportunities to relax, read, listen to starlings songs, and see lovely sky and moonscapes. Some of my favorite moments were walking on nearby beaches during sunrises and sunsets. The Audubon Society, a fifteen minute walk away, offers great views of marches and an incredible beach. Milford is a sweet town with good restaurants. Thank you so much, Nancy & Scott!!!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Zellner

I am Nancy and my son is Scott. My family has deep roots in Milford. My mother and uncles grew up and went all through school here as did I and my sons. I grew up not far from this home. After I became widowed I looked for a little place for myself. This was perfect.

I grew up learning to swim and spending long summer days with my friends at the beach. The beach where I met my husband is just down the street. I went boating and fishing on Long Island Sound. I still have many, many friends here. Although so many years ago, my high school friends are very close. Several of whom taught school in Milford and served in Milford government. Our high school class has had reunions every 5 years that I have attended and now organize.

Milford is a a special place to me and to my family. We have the longest stretch of beach in Connecticut....so many 'beaches' with lots of different names! I'm told our City Green is also the largest in CT, but I don't know that's a fact. The history here goes well before the American Revolution!

I swam in Long Island Sound and in the scattered ponds. I've ice skated behind City Hall. I am active in the same church I was baptized in and still attend and run the Thrift Shop. To say that my heart is here....in Milford and in my little home...is TRUE.

Why they chose this property

When I first saw this home advertised for sale a year after becoming widowed I said, "It can't be that cute!" It was the first day on the market. I saw it. I bought it that very day. Much work has been done by me, my son(s) and grandson(s) to make it as sweet as it is today.

What makes this property unique

So close to the beach! So close to so many things to see and do! Plus in the city of Milford there is literally everything you need and easy access to the highways and interstates. The best of all worlds. Summer here is like no where else (or very hard to find anywhere else!)
