Short stay in Waterford

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.

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.
