Location allows great opportunities to visit a lot of beautiful sites such as Harkness State Park and was convenient to some great beaches such as Waterford Beach Park. Thus it was exactly what we were looking for though another bedroom would have enhanced our family’s stay but we knew that going in.

We enjoyed our stay at 33 Ridgewood. The property is in a nice and quiet neighborhood with a very easy walk to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed eating out on the deck. Everything was in good working order. The beach themed decor was fun. Very convenient for exploring the area - we did some history and some wineries. It was a perfect mini getaway for us.

We had a wonderful stay at this home for the weekend. The property was spotless when we arrived and exceptionally well-maintained. Everything we needed was provided—the kitchen was fully stocked, the bathrooms were supplied with essentials, and the overall attention to detail made us feel right at home.The home was very comfortable, with cozy furnishings, comfortable beds, and plenty of space to relax. The location was great; the local beach was perfect and the parking pass they included an added bonus. We found several excellent restaurants a short drive away. Easy-to-follow instructions that made our arrival and departure completely stress-free.We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for making our weekend so enjoyable!
