Awesome Stay -- Bungalow was better then pictured, the location was one of the best in Milford. Access to a private beach really made the experience. The host's extra little touches were really appreciated, we got in late one night and all the snacks came in handy. Can't say enough good things about this place, we will definitely be staying again when we want a nice peaceful day at the beach.
