Three and a half stars

It was fine. It was hard to get into vacation mode between emptying the dehumidifier at least once a day and having to outfit six beds with sheets. It was disappointing to find that not all beds had mattress pads and it was very challenging to put sheets on the beds on the top bunks. Also, the quilts that they placed on the sofas in the living room, which were not pictured looked like they hadn't been washed in at least a few stays. On a positive note, the kitchen sink area was very nice and we made the best our time there. As we left and swept the house, I uncovered several unsightly items from the previous renters (clump of hair, old hair elastics, bobby pins) under beds. If it had been cleaner our stay would have been improved. There were many ants in the home, which the owner helped us with, but just in general it felt like we were house sitting instead of vacationing, which for the price, totals in a 3.5 star rating.

York beach area cottage

The property owner was very responsive to our messages and was prompt. House was as described and a short walk to the beach and short sands downtown. We did get rained out but we made the most of the stay.

Great location, cottage needs updates.

There was an overwhelming smell from damp, mildew, and mold throughut the cottage. I guess it would be ok if you aren't allergic... like I am. It was worst in the main bedroom. The owner was aware of the issue as there were damp rid products that had been in place for some time throughout the cottage (they were full and the one hanging on the hot water heater in the bathroom was moldy). We purchased additional damp rid to try to make it livable but ultimately cut our vacation short and left two days early due to illness from allergic reaction to the mold/mildew. The owner has been alerted to the issues we experienced.

Location is everything

We had a great week at Wish You Well Cottage. It's about a 7 minute walk to Long Sands Beach - the proximity is a huge plus! Yes, the road it is located on is busy, but not like a freeway or anything - just daytime traffic, quiet at night. Safe to walk on, plus its a super quick walk to the cut through street. The outdoor seating area/grill area is large, and the marble countertop next to the grill was a great prep area! The outdoor shower is always a plus, and the "night light" was a pleasant surprise for evening showers. Living room is cozy and comfortable. We did not use the back enclosed patio that much, but I can see how it would be a nice area to hang out in. The back yard area could stand to have some trimming done to make it a bit more accessible/inviting. Eric gives quick replies to any questions, anyone who rents knows that it is a huge plus and feeling of comfort!

Great house

We rented this home to spend some time at long sands beach. The beds were very comfortable and the living space is nice and open. We had a great time and would go back!
