Great location!

We loved being close to the lighthouse and a walk to Long Beach. The weather was perfect and the house was well equipped and clean. We really liked that there were two bathrooms and a nice comfortable deck. The neighborhood was peaceful. Our dog was allowed on the beach before 8 am so we took her for a long walk and let her play on the beach. York was lovely! We'll be back!

Very nice cottage!

I have to say this was one of the best stocked cottages we stayed at! From the tissues in every bedroom to the fully stocked kitchen - we weren't at a loss for anything. The beds were very comfortable - we did bring our own pillows but that was more of a preference for us. Highly recommend this location!

The Windrose

We had a wonderful time at The Windrose (7/27/24 - 8/3/24). The cottage was spotless when we arrived. The cleaning crew did an excellent job! The 3 bedrooms are very spacious and plenty of closet space. I also loved the AC's in all 3 bedrooms and in the kitchen. The washer and dryer are a big plus! We loved the wrap around deck and sat out there every night. I also loved the location -- close to Nubble Light and about a 1 mile walk to Short Sands. Thanks for a great vacation.

Place was incredible! Exactly as described, it was clean, fully stocked and ready to go. Only thing we really needed to bring was food!! Everything was effortless and the location was spectacular.
