Cute and unique house, great location, loved the yard- wish the dining table was bigger and sturdy for a family of 5. The host had been great at staying in touch.

We stayed here for a guys' golf trip weekend, and everything was amazing. I cannot recommend this historic house enough. It's within walking distance of much of what Milton has to offer and a relatively short drive to several excellent golf courses. Kelly was a fantastic host—her communication and local knowledge were both incredible. I'll definitely be looking to book this place again in the summer to take advantage of the yard and its proximity to the ocean.

Absolutely fabulous! I ask a lot of questions when traveling and our host always got back to me no matter what time of day. The yard is beautiful in multiple spaces for working, sleeping, relaxing, and even a table for puzzles or gaming.

The house was so cute! The gardens in the back and around the front entry were really amazing and added to the charm. When you walk in the little hall way goes left to a living area or right to a set of stairs that leads to the upper floor. The upstairs has a huge bathroom and 3 bedrooms. The bedroom all the way to the left has 2 beds and a kitchenette in it which was pretty cool. The other side of the hall has a queen bedroom and a single bedroom. The upstairs also has a door at the bottom which can be closed to make 2 apartments. Downstairs has a master king ensuite bedroom with a really comfortable mattress (its very firm but i love that). The whole house had really nice blinds for privacy. There is a galley like kitchen which is small but was perfect for us. An entry to the backyard gardens and paths is right off the kitchen. There is a dining room off of the livingroom that has a door with a cute bell on the bottom that leads to a deck. The entire yard is fenced in. It was perfect for our pup to run around in. We really enjoyed the decor of the place and the historical cosiness of it! It reminds me of a little Halloween house! The picket fence and the front entry add so much charm and sort of take you back in history. The house also seems to be cat friendly! There is a cat tree and catdoors all around! I wish i could have traveled with my cats! They would have appreciated the house as much as I did! The place is also close to town. The host is friendly and responsive!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly DeMott

Host profile image
I grew up in Newark Delaware but quickly realized I would prefer to live at the beach and I moved here permanently in the early 1990’s and by 2003 I became a realtor. I went to college to study art and I enjoy using my artistic ability to make this house really special. I live just a short walk away with my two daughters. I am available to show property as well if you fall in love with the area.

Why they chose this property

As you walk around town, you’ll notice that the Victorian era homes that line Federal and Union Streets I’ll seem to have their front porch decorated. I enjoy taking walks at night because you’ll notice the homes are lit up with porch lights and you can hear happy noises off in the distance.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite thing to do is to take walks at night in town because everything gets very quiet, all the porch lights are on and you feel like you are someplace very special.
Milton Delaware started out in the 1700s as a ship building town and the hand built ships were made right on the banks of the Broadkill river and launched into the Atlantic Ocean. As you walk past the Victorian homes on the way to dinner take note of the architecture because many of the homes were built by Dutch shipbuilders. Milton has a wide variety of Victorian architectural styles (more than your average town). There are sidewalks on every block and the residents of Milton do use them to get around town, especially in the evening. Kids still ride bikes outside here so please do watch your speed as you make your way through town. Milton is a truly special place and if you’d like to see property for sale, just let me know because I’ve been a local realtor for 22 years!
