About this house rental
Looking for a unique stay in Delaware? Check out our Edgar Allan Poe themed house. 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath in an historic house built in the late 1800’s. In the heart of beautiful downtown Milford, you’ll be able to walk to coffee shops, restaurants and the historic Riverwalk.
**THERE IS NOT A FULL KITCHEN IN THIS UNIT, just a very basic kitchenette. There is a microwave, keurig coffee maker, refrigerator, and toaster oven available for your convenience.
PLEASE DO NOT BOOK IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETELY READ THE LISTING. THIS IS A THEMED AIR BNB AND HAS DECOR THAT REFLECTS THE WRITING OF EDGAR ALLAN POE WHICH IS DARK AND MACABRE.
The Poe House is an immersive experience. From the themed rooms to the decor, you'll find the Poe House to be a dive into the unique and unusual. The decor within is macabre and odd in decorative taste.
The space has 3 full bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. A common living room space and dining area. The art work is hand selected and unique to the space. Some art work and decor may be too scary for young children.
There are stairs to the 2nd floor that are steep. Keep in mind this is an historic house built in the late 1800's.
This is also in a multi unit building. Noise must be kept to a minimum so other guests are not disturbed. Quiet time is from 10 pm to 8 am.
This unit is completely private and separate but there are other units within the same building.
I am available in person and by phone for your stay. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if there’s anything you need.

Wonderful place other than no operational WiFi.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
This was a great place to stay while we were dropping our daughter off for her sr. year at DSU! The location was central to her house in Camden, the beaches in Rehoboth and nature/marsh/beaches of southern Delaware Bay. We really enjoyed getting ice cream and walking the riverwalk. The house itself was fantastic!! It is an old house so be aware of that. We actually appreciated the character and charm that the history added to the experience over a 'new' property. The water pressure in the shower was average and not having running water on the main level wasn't too inconvenient since we were only the a few days but a longer stay (or with children) it might be an issue. The Poe theme was tasteful and not overdone. The owner responded quickly and professionally. Parking is one building over but it is well lit, plenty of space and free!Overall, this is a great place to stay, highly recommend it and we're hoping to book again for Equestrian ECACs and graduation.

Comfortable beds, meticulous details of EA Poe throughout, walking distance to adorable Dolce’ for coffee and pastries, and lovely Milford charm are a few of the outstanding qualities of this home away from home.
