The house was great for our family and really loved its close proximity to the beach. The instructions were easy to follow and check in was seamless. Highly recommend adding Capt Daniel Packer Inn to restaurant suggestions...it was amazing.
Amazing location! Just a short walk from Ocean Beach and a 10 minute drive from downtown New London. The house is very cozy and comes with everything you need. The hosts are incredibly responsive and knowledgeable of what to do/see in the area. Will definitely be coming back!
The cottage was beautiful! It was perfectly sized for my family of 4 and had all of the amenities we needed.Our hosts were very gracious and made the check-in and check-out process very easy. I will definitely plan to consider this beautiful cottage again next time we are in the area!
Had a great time, most fully stocked rental we have ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Property exterior was more impressive than the interior with the exception of an area on the deck needing repair to several planks. The kitchen is very modern with lovely appliances but the living areas and bedrooms are somewhat dated. Overall the property is comfortable, clean and has an excellent location. Would certainly consider booking another stay in the future.

The place was fantastic!
Our stay was better than we could have imagined. We'll definitely be booking again.
We loved our stay in Waterford. The house was amazing, clean and as pictured. Close to a wonderful beach with plenty to do nearby with the kids. Located in a nice residential area.
The home is clean, comfortable, and well equipped, It is in a great spot between two beaches with several dining choices in the local area.

Thank you John. The fact that you and you family enjoyed our cottage, brings a smile to our face. You are welcome back, the next time you pass this way!

Awesome place to stay! Everything is labeled (super helpful for me!), beds were comfortable, clean, perfect amount of space for our family, 3 min drive to the beach, love the gas stove and the beach decor. Loved that the hosts provided good size beach towels, a wagon and 2 beach umbrellas (impromptu visit to the beach!). The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and provides plenty of privacy. Board games were played, music was listened to on the provided Bluetooth speakers and many memories made! A nice summer getaway! P.S. the bathroom pics make the bathroom look super small, but in real life it has just enough room.
The home is comfortable, clean, well equipped, and is in a great location. Great for beach access, fishing, dinning out, and exploring neighboring towns.

Our blended family loved our stay! The backyard was so much fun for everyone from mom and dad to the baby! The walk isn't too awful to ocean beach park and the pass was so great. Well stocked home!
