Traveling with kids? Be sure to take them to nearby York Animal Kingdom for rides and zoo animals!

With exposed beam ceilings, an open floor plan, and plentiful seating, this cottage is full of casual charm. Wake up each morning to check the tides on the free WiFi, prepare breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen, and take your dogs for a walk to the nearby lighthouse (please note that a 20 lb., two-dog limit).

Grab your bathing suits, towels, and picnic fixings and walk down to Short Sands Beach for a sun-splashed day of swimming and sandcastle-building. Come home to sip cold drinks on the deck, light the gas grill for a barbecue dinner, and dine on a feast of lobster and haddock. End the evening back inside, where two cable TVs and a DVD player await for fun-filled movie nights.

Outstanding place to stay.

We truly enjoyed staying here and the place was decorated and the furniture was comfortable. Had a problem with finding a spot to plug in the CPAP machines and cell phones.

Wonderful Location for a fall getaway

We came up for UNH homecoming with our two German Shepherds. The property was spacious, clean, and well stocked with all of the essentials for a comfortable stay. We had a small issue with the shower draining but the property manager responded promptly to the concern. The location is absolutely perfect as it is right down the street from Long and Short Sands beach but far enough off of the main strip to avoid traffic. Access to route 1 and 95 makes this property a perfect jumping off point to get out and enjoy the area. Portsmouth is 15, Ogunquit 10, and Durham 25 minutes!

Beds uncomfortable but location is great

The location is close to everything but we only stayed one out of 2 nights because we couldn’t handle the beds. The two in the bedroom were so soft you sank in and the two futons were as expected with the bar across the middle.

York stay

Place was clean. Didn’t like being next to the road of the camping site Ad says sleeps 6. I find that hard to believe. Beds were so small my husband and I had to sleep in separate beds. Very uncomfortable beds. Other than that nice place.

All was great except…

We loved the deck the most and all day sun. Everything else was fine except the sheets on the bed NOT under the window were terribly scratchy and the bed not comfortable so was not for a good sleep the first night . We took the sheets off for the next night. Would be nice to have Kleenex and a few plastic small plastic lunch bags etc. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much.

big mistake

not enough room here. will list a few faults. reserved cottage for one month and only stayed two weeks. needed so much that I didn't complain at the time because I didn't want anyone coming in and out. Mattresses were like sleeping in a hole. Filthy dirty filters on air conditioners. Terrible mold on shower curtain. Dirty shag rugs. Closet doors just leaning on side wall. Kitchen table leg just balancing and fell on my lap. Rose thorns so overgrown on handicap ramp so that I couldn't use my walker. constant traffic just 6 feet from living room window to campground next door. bad smell in cottage. kitchen cluttered with beach chairs and accessories which should have been kept in the shed where we had to carry our trash. floors need washing. did no good to complain to VRBO. talked to many people about being somewhat reimbursed after spending thousands. they gave me $225 back. I'd like VRBO to go and check out this cottage. We are two elderly women that saved for this months vacation and it was wasted. After staying there for 13 days, we couldn't take it anymore.. This is only a partial list.

Sea Rose Cottage in York

We are not usually not complainers but sleep is important and the beds here were not comfortable. Pot holders or oven mitts would have been useful for oven items as would have been instructions about recycling, check out procedures and what to do with used linens.

The house was in a great location, but a bit small. It was advertised as sleeps 6 but someone had to sleep on the floor.

We stayed here as a family of four for two nights, and loved it! The place is clean and cozy. The walk into the downtown is about 6 minutes, and I actually really liked it. It was nice to have a walk after dinner in town!
