Great quiet spot

A hidden Gem

Waveland was absolutely beautiful. We had such a great time learning about the history of the town while also going to the beach (of course). Hardly an hour from NO made it an awesome spot. The town was quite tranquil and very relaxing full of great people. The place we stayed was wonderful. Martin was incredibly kind and helpful and provided more than advertised would definitely come back.

Something like this:We just returned for our 5th consecutive year and had a great time. The house was clean, as always. Bed linens washed and clean. Everything in great shape. Before we came, I happened to read the review from Valerie, the previous guest. I wondered if she was reviewing the same property ? Nothing in her review reflects our experiences. Clean house, clean bedding, no unusual odors. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils. Martin had purchased another set of pots and pans, even though what was there already was fine. The large fridge/ freezer is , in no way, falling apart. We appreciated the bag of ice in the freezer for us and the frozen popsicles. Since the icemaker in the freezer has never been plumbed in ( flood hazard) Martin has also added an electric ice maker on the counter. Plenty of cleaning supplies under the sink and in the utility room. The deck was in good repair, several new boards as usual with this climate. 5 star review as always Martin, thanks for being quickly responsive to any questions. See you next year.

Comfortable Place to Stay in Waveland

This is a nice place to stay with 3 bedrooms each with their own bathrooms and is great for a larger family visit-we'd stay here again next time we visit. Chirping smoke alarms were a minor problem throughout out visit, including one in locked room that we could not get to in order to replace the battery. Martin offered to come over to fix things which was nice.

Great Vacation Home

This house is much bigger than the pictures even show. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and had more than enough room for everyone. It was great having a bathroom for each bedroom. The house was clean and Martin was a wonderful host. This is also a really great beach for kids. It wasn't a problem having to drive to the beach because there was no way we could walk anyway with all of our beach stuff. The beach at Waveland is the perfect beach for kids since you can walk out forever and it stays shallow. We also went to the Hurricane Katrina museum in town which is worth going to. Anyway, Martin's house, communication, everything was wonderful. Do not hesitate to stay there. Thank you Martin!

Keep looking

Let me start by saying that the condition of the house and property did not deter us from a great time. Check in was flawless location was quiet. With that said. The house what some what dirty. The kitchen window hasn't been cleaned in years. Im talking about the inside. The fridge was falling apart, the icemaker does not work. There was so much food already int he freezer that there was not much room for our food and ice so many trips to the Walmart were in order. I pulled out a kitchen drawer and the front came off in my hand. The pots and pans and cooking implements are a joke. Lots of dishes though. The house discription stated there are bikes for guests to use. Beware, they are on a creepy shed and the bikes are rusted and buried under other things or the tires are flat. The sheets smelled as if the had not been changed. Not musty and dusty smell from no use, but BO smell. The 1st master bath has a feces smell. There was not much to clean with. The deck has several nails sticking up and I stepped on a knothole and it pretty much went through. The tarro/ elephant ears are over grown and on the steps. With a little bit of maintenance and better cleaning this place would be just like the pictures.

4th of July family meet up.

I rented the property for the 4th of July as mid point for family meeting from Texas and Alabama. The house was large and spacious and has plenty of beds and a bathroom for each room. The house is about 2 miles from the beach and is where we spent our time. The owner was easy to work with and was fast with his responses. When we thought we had a maintenance issue he contacted his maintenance team and they arrived in no time and got us straightened out. If you're picky or looking for the Ritz Carlton, this isn't the rental for you. This is a normal style home, with flaws and character just like my home and I think the price reflected that. The home also had three bikes that we used to ride around. It also had the stupidest, hardest, worst puzzle ever, that we put together. It was in the shape of a hummingbird and took forever. The only complaint we had was the lack of WIFI which the owner plans to get added after requesting feedback from our stay. Overall would stay again and it was nice being the first to rent it. Martin thanks for trusting us with your home.

House is perfect for 3 couples!

This was our second time to stay @ this property. We enjoy the fact that the house is large enough for 3 couples to each have their own bedroom & bath. We enjoyed visiting the local attractions such as the hurricane Katrina museum & the Mardi Gras museum. Everyone was very friendly. Mr Docherty was readily available to answer any concerns we had. We hope to make a return visit! .

Why they chose this property

Great location, new post Katrina house.

What makes this property unique

The kitchen counter and bench in the kitchen were made from a pecan tree that was knocked down by Katrina. The original home was completely destroyed, the rebuild was a labor of love. The name " Clover Cottage " comes from my great friend Chris Clover who rebuilt after Katrina and sold the house to me. I named the house in his honor.
