We had a great family trip to Waterford. Loved the private beach just a short walk from the house. Would definitely recommend this house for a family stay!

Wonderful family vacation!

We were here for a long weekend, the host made our check-in/check-out process seamless, and the house very clean and in a wonderful location with easy beach access. Just the little get away we needed!

Great Home Near Lovey Beach!

We loved staying here! The house was perfect - we were two families and both had children. There was plenty of room, the house was very comfortable and a great set up on both floors, the kids loved exploring the toys/games, and of course the beach was a huge hit. It’s a beautiful, quiet area with a very family friendly beach (shallow water for a long ways at low tide, when we were mostly there). The host was lovely - very responsive, helpful and patient with our questions. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful memories

We loved our stay and enjoyed almost every aspect of the house! Great open floor plan and plenty of space for the whole family to spread out. WiFi was a bit of an issue as it was sporadic at times, but we made due. We look forward to our next visit to this lovely beach house setting.

Nice house in a great location

Excellent location with private beach. Lots of space in house to spread out, relax, and spend time with family. Great kitchen with large island. Some furniture was dirty and broken prior to arrival, which was the only drawback. I would definitely stay here again with my family though! Thanks for the great stay.

Great location for CGA events!

We stayed at this lovely property during the CGA parents weekend (extended to a full week stay!). We loved our time at the house and were very comfortable! There is a lot of outdoor space to enjoy family/friend time and just hang out! We will be checking for availability of this home on our return visits.

Amazing week!!

We (A group of 40+ women) stayed here for our annual ladies trip this year. We had such an amazing time. The house is absolutely gorgeous and well stocked. Very impressive!!! The beach is at most a 5 minute walk away. We loved the beach. Not a ton of people there so that was an added bonus. We highly recommend!

Waterford Retreat

Great communication with property owner from the time of booking up through check-in. Lots of space which was great for our stay, as we had some extended family for commencement events throughout the week. Also, a short distance (walk) to the water which was so peaceful. The pantry was well stocked with items such as TP and garbage bags. The only negative thing I can say is that a train runs near the property but didn't cause much of a disruption. I would certainly rent this property again!!

Spacious weekend getaway

The house was great and had plenty of space for our family (5 adults (two couples, one single) and two teenagers). The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of beach towels and regular towels. The couch and dining room were comfortable and we had plenty of space to relax all together - including the very spacious deck. The kids loved having their own living room, bathroom, and TV downstairs. Beach access could not have been easier, maybe a five minute walk from the house to the sand. The beach wasn’t crowded, is nicely maintained and the water was warm because of the sand bar (which the kids also loved). We would definitely come back.

Girl’s Trip

This property was perfect for our group of three. It was more space than we needed but it was conducive to grown women who need our space. The house is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The private beach was lovely for morning walks. The deck was the perfect place to enjoy coffee around the fire pit. We enjoyed the provided games in the evenings. There is a train that goes by quite close to the house but it added to the charm. We especially enjoyed hearing owls calling to each other at night. The owner was immediately responsive when I reached out. It was the perfect spot for us to have lots of laughs, relaxation, impromptu dance breaks, and connection. We would definitely stay again.

Great For The Family

This property was just as advertised. Lots of room, well appointed, no need for anything. The only issue I would have to talk about was the people in the neighborhood. They definitely gave us the feeling they did not like the renters. One man in particular gave us a very hard time at the beach, accusing our grandchildren of damaging a spigot for rinsing off your feet. We did not damage it and he was extremely rude to my wife, daughter and grandchildren. He didn't say anything to me oddly enough! Other than this unfortunate incident, we had a wonderful time. Great access to the beach, all in all great time. Loved the outdoor shower!

Great spot for Women’s Weekend!

3 sets of moms and daughters stayed for the weekend. The moms each took one of the bedrooms upstairs on the main level and the three cousins were all downstairs. Took walks in the neighborhood, ordered yummy take out and enjoyed both the lower terrace and upper deck. Would be great for parents upstairs and kids that could run around downstairs. Always appreciate having spices and condiments not to mention ziplocks provided. Would definitely recommend! Niantic was an easy drive for delicious food and Mystic a little further but also easy.

Great family vacation

The property manager was prompt, resourceful and helpful during all communication. The house was perfect for our family. My husband 14 month old and my mom. Was semi easy to baby proof with our 14 month who walks and likes to get into everything. We brought our portable gates which helped as the stairs from up to down did not have a door but otherwise everything else was pretty easy for her to roam around. The shower pressure was amazing. The outdoor shower amazing. The kitchen was amazing. The beach was literally a 3 min walk with the stroller and hardly anyone ever there all week. We did strolls around the neighborhood after dinner which was nice. Niantic was just a couple minutes away and had a Children's museum which was awesome and good restaurants. We also drove 20 min to Mystic CT for the Aquarium and a Boat Museum which was nice. The only issues we had were the yard grass was overgrown so we couldn't really use that for our little one to run around. Also recommend to lock car doors. There was a dozen of car break-in's within the town including two of our three cars. The property manager was extremely prompt in response and shared with the community association as well as mentioned getting the Ring system for security. We felt safe and really enjoyed our vacation, the house and the neighborhood.

Beautiful home!

We had an amazing time at this Waterford beach house. Short walk to a private, quiet beach was so convenient with young kids. Also great location for going to dinner in mystic or Niantic! The house is spacious and beautiful. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
