A Beautiful Inn

Richard our host is a wonderful person. He greeted us and gave us the information we needed to make our stay a pleasant one. The house is beyond description. The detail and beauty of the Inn is over the top. If we come back to De , we will look into staying here again.

The Contessa Suite was a wonderful place for our long weekend of exploring the nearby Delaware shore. Located in the charming town of Milton, our room was large, spotlessly clean, meticulously decorated and had all the amenities that we expect in a small inn. We especially liked the large balcony that overlooked the lovely and peaceful lawn/garden below. Richard, our host, was friendly, welcoming and very helpful in recommending businesses in Milton and in suggesting places to explore on the shore.

A slice of Charleston

This place really stands out in the town. It really looks like a slice of Charleston set in Milton. The grounds, the house, and furnishings were all very nice. I especially like sitting out on the covered porch and relaxing. The host was very hospitable.

The Charleston of Milton Inn exceeded our expectations!

What a beautiful place in a quaint town. The decor was peaceful, uncluttered, and immaculate. The Inn is a new home with all the charm and beauty of something much older. We had coffee every morning on our private deck overlooking the lawn/ garden. We cannot wait to go back again! Richard is an impressive artist and was a wonderful host.

The Charleston of Milton

This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Richard welcomed us warmly and gave us a brief explanation of the property’s history. The yard is landscaped nicely with a variety of trees, flowers and ornaments. Our room was beautifully furnished and a perfect size for our 2 night stay and was supplied with all the basic necessities in the kitchenette and bathroom. If we ever need a place to stay in southeast Delaware, this is the first place we will try to reserve.

Perfect

We stayed at the Charleston in Milton for three days to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. I can’t say enough about the host Richard, he makes sure every need is met and has a wonderful sense of humor. The home and property are beautiful. There are a lot of cute shops and restaurants within walking distance. If you were looking for a relaxing stay away from the crowds this is your place.

Charleston vibe in Milton!

This is a new and gorgeous Inn that looks like it could be in Charleston. Richard is a wonderful host - super personable and responsive. The suites are big and beautiful with lots of lovely touches. The bathroom is also big with a nice walk-in shower and amenities. The Contessa Suite where we stayed has a wonderful balcony with seating, overlooking the beautiful garden. Milton is about a 20-30 minute drive to Lewes and Rehoboth beach. Very centrally located. It is a small town with a wonderful bakery and several restaurants. We will go back there if we visit the area again and highly recommend it.

Weekend get away

The property was beautiful and our room was immaculate. The room was delightful with a small table and little kitchen. The bed was unbelievably comfortable. It felt like we were sleeping on fluffy clouds. The bathroom was gorgeous and the shower was very delightful. I would definitely come back here again and I have told all my friends about this great property. Downtown Milton is really nice as well. The only thing I would have loved to have was ice. Richard was a super nice guy and made us feel very comfortable at his property. He was a text message away if we needed anything!! We had a great weekend here.

Perfect!

We loved staying at The Charleston! The room is perfect, and the entire property is well appointed. Whether we were in our room, on our private balcony or enjoying one of the many seating areas on the grounds, the atmosphere is calm and cozy. Everything is clean and perfectly manicure and beautifully decorated. There are also little extras everywhere... coffee, tea, creamer, chocolates. The bathroom has ample space for hanging towels and my cosmetic bag. If there would have been anything we would have needed, our host, was there to help! Thanks, Richard, for another wonderful summer escape. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Pleasant and relaxing place to stay!

Richard is the most wonderful host—he made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The property is just beautiful, with perfectly manicured lawns and gorgeous roses and flowers in the garden. Spacious room, comfortable bed, luxurious sheets and bedding, great shower, and a beautiful balcony porch to unwind at the end of the day. We’ll be back next time we’re in Delaware.

WOW

This place is amazing. The house is beautifully decorated and maintained. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Fridge is stocked with some water, ketchup, mustard and mayo. Creamer, coffee, tea sugars. And even a box of kleenex in the room. The privite porch is beautifully decorated and nice to sit out and watch the beautiful birds and admire the garden. So many thoughtful extras. Just a short walk to Milton Theater and Irish Eyes restaurant.

This was a perfect quick get away. It was quiet, but close to all the beach activities. The pillows and mattress were so comfortable. I have not slept that well in years. Sitting on the covered balcony was very relaxing. We will be back.

A gem

What a gorgeous and peaceful spot. The inn was impeccably designed and decorated, and extremely comfortable. We had our coffee in the mornings on our balcony looking over the garden. We slept deeply. A short walk around the corner brings you to the main area of the little town of Milton, with homemade ice cream and a couple of cute cafes and shops. Lewes and the Rehoboth area are not far, so it's easy to spend a day at the beach or go out to dinner, and then return to this oasis of calm. Richard and Steve were kind and friendly without being intrusive, the perfect balance for innkeepers. We were visiting nearby family, and I look forward to staying at the inn again on our next visit. (If I had one tiny suggestion, it would be room darkening material on the windows, but the curtains are so pretty that I don't know what would work without spoiling the room. But this is nit picking on a wonderful place.)
