Milton Retreat, 5 min to Boston ,major highways . Safe family neighborhood . 😀

The home is located in Milton Ma , 5 minutes from Boston , close to all major Highways 93 /95 and public transit. The home has off street parking and is a duplex. The home has more than ample sleeping accommodations and has four bedrooms to accommodate travelers. I would consider pets if they are trained .

Perfect for holidays and Marathon . The home is located within walking distance or bus to Central Ave transit station which takes you to Ashmont Station and the red line to downtown Boston. The home is 5 minutes to Blue Hills for recreational fun , walking , hiking and nighttime skiing in the winter. The Home has mini-splits for hotter months central ac/ extra heat source in winter.

Cozy stay in Milton

Small cozy duplex. We were staying for a short weekend to visit friends that live near Boston. Everything we needed to prepare meals were there, from pots and pans to an air fryer. It was just what we needed. Would stay again.

Weekend getaway

Had such a great time last weekend. Host is accommodating and quick to respond with questions and concerns. The house is in a great neighborhood near a playground which my daughter enjoyed. Fully stocked kitchen which saved us so much money instead of going out to eat.

Very nice place

Very clean and nice, we were here for the super hot muggy days and the house was perfectly cool and thankful for theyre AC 😅. Communication was fantastic. We had an unexpected hospital visit while here and they were very helpful. We would most definitely would recommend staying here. The town was super nice and it was also really nice to be able to stay outside the city away from choas.

Don’t hesitate, awesome !

We loved staying here, so convenient to Boston sites and cape cod, MBTA right down the street. May be small but we had 5 adults, 3 yr old and 1 year old, worked great! A beautiful, safe neighborhood, with true New England charm😀. The porch, patio and yard with kid’s equipment was a real bonus! Yes the stairs are narrow and steep, but so are most homes in New England! The owner truly cares, and is delightful! We were there for a week and it was perfect!

Owner was responsive and helpful. Easy check-in process. Property was clean and conveniently located close to our house for family to stay for our daughter’s wedding. Only drawback was that steps to 2nd Fl bedrooms were steep for my in-laws. Would highly recommend.

Weekend reunion

Seven of us for a family reunion. Great location. Easy to zip up to Fenway Park to see a good game, and also down to the beach. Really good food options. Everything about the house was easy. Having great parking was key. Best checkout I’ve ever had on all of my VRBO stays. I’d definitely stay again.
