Lovely Place

This was a girls weekend away with my mom and aunt. The house is a historical home in Milton. It’s like stepping back in time with all updated amenities. The kitchen was spacious and true chefs kitchen with all the extras. We didn’t cook but there had all the utensils and dishwater for cooking a full meal! The living room with the spacious sectional couch was our morning hang out with coffee. There was an abundance of throw pillows and blankets to lounge and talk. All bedrooms were decorated nicely with very comfortable beds and bedding. All rooms had extra throw blankets and pillows in the closet. We were supplied with more than enough bath towels for our stay. Walking distance to downtown for dinner at Irish Eyes and the shops downtown. Gava for breakfast was delicious. Easy check in and out. The owner supplies above and beyond on items to get you started. Nice touch with the hand soaps in bathrooms, dish soap, and the paper towels with kitchen towels! Wonderful visit and top notch VRBO!

Cute and accessible

The house was perfect for our family of five. There was plenty of space, comfortable spots to hang out, as well as a kitchen full of all that we needed. The house was close enough to all of the major DE beaches but far enough away from all of the traffic and hub-bub. We also walked to the ice cream shop and Irish pub that was a short distance away. It's a quiet and cute town! We would definitely come back again!

Fabulous location and house!

We loved this home- could walk to all the fun things in town, and literally a 15 minute drive to the beach! It is a lovely home and clean and well cared for. We also enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the front porch. Thank you!

Milton was a great town to visit

We enjoyed our stay at Suds and Sand! We arrived on a 100+ degree day, but the setup of air conditioning and bonus fans worked to keep even a historic home comfortable and cool. We loved the set up of the kitchen for cooking and spent a lot of family time in the family room. The master tub is a little awkward to get in and out of if you are not very limber. John responded quickly to any questions. We also loved that we did not have a long lists of required tasks when checking out!

Spacious and safe house to stay in

The pictures depict the inside of the house perfectly. It was spacious and pet friendly which is always a plus for us! The owner was extremely fast with communication. The king bed in the upstairs room was perfect for our kids as they decided to have a sleepover together the whole week. The dinning room was big enough for the 5 of us plus our family that was staying in Lewes when they came to hang out. We have 3 younger ages kids 8, 5.5 and 2.5. Our 2.5 year old was a small problem to bathe in the master tub, it was missing the hand held shower attachment so we used a cup. The other 2 kids take showers so they had no issues. The cleaning company didn’t seem to have come through before we stayed beyond changing the bedding. The sinks, microwave, toilets, bath mats and shower curtain had stains that were visible. We cleaned for use. The walls and baseboards had hair and dust on them. It doesn’t seem like anyone else in the reviews has this same experience so it was probably a one off or just something we noticed since we vacuumed a few times due to our dog’s hair. With a 2.5 year old it was wonderful having a washer and dryer in the house and we were able to come home with clean laundry! The parking in the back was a huge bonus as we had 2 SUVs but still had room to play. Milton is a beautiful quiet town. The house is located so close to town, everything was walkable. Everyone was friendly and the house felt very safe to stay in. We had fun!

Suds & Sand

We stayed here with our 2 kids (age 9 and 6). The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. There is a grocery store close by for any necessities, an ice cream store right up the street, and some nice restaurants within a walkable distance or short drive. Milton itself is a quiet town but it’s within 20-30 minutes of Rehoboth, Dewey, and Lewes so we were able to fit a lot in during the day and come back to a quiet space in the evening. Would definitely recommend!

Look no further!! :-)

An absolutely charming home in an adorable neighborhood. A few minutes walk to the little downtown with quaint shops, pubs, and The Milton Theatre. We loved our stay!!! What a fabulous rental. The family room is ideal for game-playing and being all together- the large TV was fabulous for watching March Madness :-). The kitchen is fully equipped, the bedrooms are comfy and pretty, and the bathrooms are modern and extremely clean. Check-in couldn't be easier! Thank you, John, for the perfect rental!! We definitely will be spreading the word about this gem in Milton, DE!!

Comfy, quirky historic home

The owner of the property is easy to communicate with. We did have questions about how things worked and they were answered immediately. It is a very old historic house and had the feel of an old bed and breakfast. Not our usual style of rental but we enjoyed our stay here. Reminded me of spending summers at a family country home.

Quiet and spacious

The property was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed the walking proximity to downtown and the park. Driving distances to the beaches was not an issue and it was rather nice to return to the quiet. The house has a wonderful mix of history and modern conveniences and everything was provided to meet our needs. There was plenty of space for the 6 adults and 3 dogs to spread out or be together, whatever we wanted. The screened in porch as perfect for meals or games. We were especially pleased this comfortable house was pet friendly.

Milton vacation

We were interested in staying in a historic property in a small town location. Suds and Sand was just as advertised. The renovation is a perfect blend of the old and new. The downstairs bedroom and upstairs were very accommodating. Air conditioning in first floor and upper floor worked very efficiently. Short trip to Broadkill beach if you wish to avoid the traffic to Rehobeth or Dewey. Only a 35-45 min trip with traffic anyway. Great choice will stay again in the future.. .

About the host

Hosted by John Carper

I live in Annapolis most of the time, but my kids primarily live and go to school in Milton. I needed a house close to them so I figured I would rent it while not in town.

Why they chose this property

I just loved the location and the original hardwood floors from 1820.

What makes this property unique

Big back yard, 2 screened in porches
