Fun House across from beach; sleeps 14 or so.

If you are looking for a home that is exquisitely decorated and super-duper cute, this is probably not the home for you, However, if you want what a home that is arguably the best location with a lot of fun amenities and is right next to a sandy beautiful beach, this is surely it. (Outside hot tub, massage chair, indoor jacuzzi tub, beach, kayaks, bikes, cornhole, easy walking for shops and restaurants. (NOTE: if 6 people or less, you may want to consider other listing for Roommate option.) The space We have many places to sleep in our home that will be all yours....

NOTES ON THIRD FLOOR SLEEP OPTION: Hi....just want to be totally open with the reader....in regard to the sleeping options shown below.... They are NOT your fancy feather beds or mattresses...for the average person, i would say they are good enough for a few days or so...if you are younger side, you probably could sleep on them for weeks...for someone older like me (60 years old), after a three or four days, i would miss my real bed....with that said, i am not trying to discourage you, but want you to be aware....with that said, for short stays that we have hosted so far, no folks have complained and have been happy with our arrangements that we have...read on.... THIRD FLOOR SLEEP OPTIONS: Note: The third floor is what we like to refer to as our Fun Area. This area has a kitchenette and massage chair, and jacuzzi tub in its own third floor bathroom. It also has a 60-inch TV and side and back outdoor decks to sit and relax on to watch the sunrise or sunset. Hooked to the TV, we have PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Wii. We also have Oculus II virtual reality headset which is pretty cool we think. Sleep Location #5 (2 people): Burrow Sleeper Sofa in fun room open area -queen size pull-out which is very comfortable and rests on the floor when you set it up for sleeping, else it's a comfy couch. Sleep Location #6 (2 people): Fold out couch in open fun room area. Its not as comfortable as the previous Burrow sofa, but we place a memory foam cushion over it when ready for sleep and the last person who stayed over said it was fine. Sleep Location #5 (2 or 3 people) - Two adults could sleep on the third floor Sectional Couch which has three recliners. Note that this is presently located in the open fun room area also, but can be moved to the side massage room if you want a little more area.... Sleep Possibility #8 (2, 3, or 4 kids?): - The third floor includes a separate massage room that could be used with a blow-up air mattress which we have which would work with kids if needed. Guest access When you contact us via messaging and we talk, we will work out details. Like I said earlier, we will talk to one another prior to booking so you know what to expect and we know who you are, and vice versa. Most likely, you will walk into the sliding glass door on the deck to the right of the driveway, which will be unlocked. Other things to note My wife and I have lived here for over 30 years.....We truly believe our home is the best all-around beach vacation home that you will find in Milford and possibly every beach town in Connecticut......here is why.... First of all, some people looking for an Airbnb might say "i need a rental that is directly on the sand on a beach". I do understand for many, that may be very important to them...and they are willing to pay huge $$ for beach front in Milford.... Well, I will tell you this and I state the following with over 35 years living in Milford. Yes, beachfront has its unique appeal for 24/7 beach views. However, we have been here at our home for 35 years and I know this for a fact. I can easily get beach views unobstructed by a mere 20-second walk across the street. Then I can come back to our home and use my pool (which just about zero beachfront homes have in Milford, then I can use my outside hot tub to warm up ..then I shoot some hoops, which almost no beach front homes have, then I can get away from the wind or the coolness for a while, relax, then if I want to go see the beach again and watch the moon rise or go for a swim, I simply walk down to beach and do it again. Or if I want to bring my tent and sleep on the beach, I do that, then if too many people are around on the beach, I go back to my home for privacy and peace....we really have the best at 12 Fairwood Ave, Milford...for the cost of our place vs. all that we have to offer you compared to other listings, I believe, is pretty much impossible to beat in all of Milford. The one thing that we do NOT have is a pristine 5-start scratch free house. Look at the pictures...we have a scratch or two here, maybe a tiny ding in a wall or two, etc... but all minor and I like to think, these imperfections might actually help potential guests feel more comfortable knowing that they do not have to worry about keeping a pristine "showcase" house perfect on their stay. Another thing to keep in mind is that our beach across the street is extremely nice and calm, and water is a lot warmer than Cape Cod or Rhode Island beaches. Also, there is much less traffic at our precise home location / private beach. Vacation spots such as Rhode Island, Cape Cod, New Jersey Shore, etc, are nice in their own way, but things are so spread out (let alone forgetting to mention the horrendous traffic one has to deal with sometimes!!).....here at our home, you can find entertainment or attractions and restaurants and the beach by taking a short walk. Here at our location, we have most everything you need and may want to do within very short walking distance and or even a longer 1 hour or so shoreline walk or so to downtown Milford….so so easy, no driving crazy Interstate 95 traffic or even busy Route 1 ...no NJ turnpike traffic jams.....no beach fee, so so easy...so so nice.... Nearby to the West of our home, you can walk in about 20 minutes or so to the Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center to see alot of birds, and if you get lucky in the wintertime, see a snowy owl hanging out (saw a few last winters, none so far this year 2023). When the striped bass are running in April, fishermen come from an hour away to fish the Housatonic River at the Audubon Center. Dig clams on way back at the 3rd avenue sandbar, if you get a craving for them. One lucky fact is that the Audubon Center stops at a dead end of the main road Broadway, so there is really not much traffic in our area and no thru traffic. Only folks that live down where we are, drive the roads - Kind of nice!! To the East of our home, if you walk down the main shoreline road by our house, you will find the Walnut Beach Creamery Ice Cream shop (seasonal), which sometimes has lines that are easily 30 or 40 people deep, because its super delicious! You will also see nearby Italian / pizza restaurant, seafood restaurants, salons, cafe, deli, Scoot and Paddle kayak /scooter /bike rental, and more. Walk past these restaurants and shops for another 3 minutes and you hit beautiful Walnut beach which has grills to cookout on, picnic tables, and 5 volleyball courts on its beach. Keep walking to the left of Walnut beach and you continue on its boardwalk which takes you into Silver Sands State Park, which has a new concession stand where you can buy a lunch or snacks, and is propped up above ground about 20 feet or so, so you can sit up on the deck of the concession stand, and eat or hang out on the picnic tables and look at the beautiful views of Charles Island and if low tide, walk out on a sandbar to the island and probably see some goofy birds doing goofy bird stuff. Keep walking just a minute or so more, and you hit the Greek Spot restaurant on East Broadway Ave which serves (yup-you guessed it!) authentic Greek food and is very, very popular. Away from the beach life, we have great restaurants and attractions about 3 miles away in a section of Milford called Devon. One of my favorite hangouts is the Dock Side Bar Restaurant about 2 miles away, which makes its own beer, and which has a beautiful layout which looks over the Housatonic River and very lively and has cornhole and other games to play while you eat. Another one of my favorites is about 2 miles away is Joey C's Boat house which routinely has music a few times a week. Many other bars and restaurants all around. Also, on Sundays, there is a farmers' market near this area. And nearby, there is Walmart, BJs, Shop Rite, Home Depot, Stop and Shop, McDonalds, etc... (And you are still only about 2 miles from our house!!!) Also away, but very close to the immediate shoreline, one can take a bike or drive to our quaint downtown Milford. It has the longest green center in all of New England. It often has fairs on the weekends during summer. Also, if beach weather is not the best, hop on the Metro North train to New york city or to New Haven to see Yale and downtown. We have security cameras that monitor the exterior of our property. I am pretty sure that for most people, the stay here would be a really good time. Like I said, not an immaculate house, therefore not a worry about a scratch or two here or there or spilling something ...we are pretty easy and reasonable. Thx for reading and interest. (NOTE: if only 4 people, consider other listing for Rooms Available-3rd floor to yourself.
