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.

Perfect get away
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.

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.

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.)

Relaxing escape from hustle & bustle of beach
This property was a relaxing getaway. It was not far from Rehoboth and we were able to enjoy the beach vibes and then return quietness. Owner gave us recommendations for breakfast. Which did not disappoint!

Great spot in downtown Milton
I am from the area and had to go back for family business. Richard was an amazing and gracious host. The property was beautiful with a spacious room, comfortable bed, very clean and tasteful decor. If you're going to spend the money, this is 200% better than any hotel in the area you'll find. I highly recommend this place. I have posted numerous reviews on VRBO and this has my highest recommendation. Thanks very much for the great stay! 1 very, very small caveat, these rooms are for adults only. I do not recommend them for children. A lot of glass and breakable items.

Amazing property and wonderful host! We spent the weekend for our anniversary. The home is beautiful, as was our room. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. Restaurants are within walking distance so we walked into town each evening and tried a new place to eat. The ice cream from the ice cream shop nearby is good too. The Doghead Fish Brewery and the outlets are all close by and make for good ways to spend the days. Would definitely come back to this one!

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.

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.

Anniversary getaway
No matter the occasion, if you’re in search of a spotless cozy private oasis, The Charleston of Milton Inn is your place! Richard, our host, has quite literally thought of everything to ensure their guests comfort. From the second you pull up, you feel like you’re in a southern bed & breakfast. Soft music welcomes you to the private porch and beautifully landscaped garden. Our room was perfect. Fresh clean plush (better than) hotel towels & robes made us feel like we were being pampered. The what felt like, 900 + thread count sheets were a bonus, but then they went up a notch by ironing them! And the kitchenette. It may be tiny, but it contained everything you need to heat & store your food, or enjoy a hot cup of tea/coffee. There was even coffee creamer. And not the powdery kind, real cream. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on our private balcony enjoying the sounds of nature, and watching the bunnies run around the garden. Do yourself a favor and book yourself this special experience.

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!
