About this property

Spectacular Home in Downtown Saint Andrews - 4 night min

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Town of Saint Andrews charges a mandatory 3.5% tourism levy that will be added to the Room+Cleaning rates listed here via an additional payment request not reflected in the rates shown here.

Description:

Windrose is a beautifully renovated home, built in 1830, packed with character while offering all of the modern conveniences you’d love to have in a home. The main house sleeps 12 in 6 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 baths. The Master suite has a 4-piece en suite bath. The living room, study, charming sun room and expansive patio and yard allow plenty of spaces for families to gather while also allowing for some quiet time. The beautiful dining room seats 12 with extra seating at the nearby kitchen island. The gorgeous five burner gas range along with double sinks and two available refrigerators make the frenzy of large-group cooking almost a fun experience.

The grounds are surrounded by 6 foot hedges and mature trees giving you unusually secluded privacy for the location. The large brick patio is well furnished with a grill just steps away from the beautiful yard and boxwood rose garden.

The location is spectacular. Saint Andrews offers plenty of beautiful rental options, but none come close to providing this spacious, private property in the heart of downtown. Instead of driving three or four miles into town and looking for parking on busy summer days, you simply walk out the front door and stroll an easy block to the nearest restaurants, wharf, shopping, pub, whale watch tours, museums and Kingsbrae Garden.

Winter rates reflect the fact that there is some winterization that is required on this big old house including window film, insulation and no access to the (cold) sun-room.

NOTE: There is a separate in-law suite in this building this is generally rented to a different party. Please inquire if it is available if you need more space.

This is a wonderful property and an ideal location in the heart of St Andrews . The home is very spacious, impeccably maintained , and fully equipped. The multi bedroom/ private bathroom layouts were ideal. And the main level offered perfect options for long lingering group chats in the open kitchen/dining room - or quieter moments in either the comfy sunroom, living room or back patio area. Each space met or exceeded expectations.Host also earns a 5 Star rating - readily available and extremely helpful thru the entire experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tom’s house again this year. We were a mix of family - 2 teenagers and grandparents and a few friends. The house layout is lovely - it feels very open and spacious yet there are also places to curl up and read a book on your own. It’s beautifully furnished - lots of character and has the all the practical stuff too. We also loved all the natural light - large windows surrounded by a lovely garden (yard) - felt very private despite being in the centre of town. Thank you so much Tom - we’re looking forward to returning next summer!

Beautiful home in downtown St Andrews

We had a wonderful week at Tom’s beautiful home and would definitely love to return! We were a mix of adults and teenagers - family and friends. The layout worked really well with the teens on the top floor and the adults in the 4 bedrooms on the middle floor. The ground floor is structured so that it can feel open and spacious whilst also having the option to tuck away in the library/snug and the sunroom was so pleasant with secluded garden views ~we would forget that we were in the middle of town! The kitchen is top notch (love the gas stove) with anything you need to cook ~ no excuses anyway :) We loved how the house was decorated too, lots of interesting paintings and a nautical theme too. Highly recommended!

Good Location Best For Summer

House was huge. Beautiful kitchen and dining area. There were no welcome instructions to cover how to light gas stove, where things are located, how to connect to wifi and how the heating works. This was in December and this is an old house with what looks like original windows, its cold. The heat you have to turn on and leave on to slowly hit the temperature where you don't need a sweater and scarf inside. The host was helpful and checked in via text frequently. Any issues were dealt with quickly. Definitely ideal for warmer weather months.

Amazing!!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, historic, very well preserved and restored house in St Andrews. Everything was perfect. There were 9 of us - all adults - and lots of room for all. The kitchen and dining room are large and bright. The kitchen is well equipped with more than enough dishes, pans, etc. The beds are extremely comfortable. The backyard is large and welcoming with deers visiting now and then. The location is perfect - so close to the main street and the pier. The host Tom is extremely helpful and nice. He went out of his way to accommodate us which was very much appreciated. He made a wonderful experience even better. I highly recommend this property - I would go back anytime. One of my best numerous VRBO experiences. Thank you Tom!

Great place to stay and St Andrews is a great place to visit!

We rented this home for our annual family vacation - me, my husband, adult kids and spouses and grandchildren - it was FABULOUS! Plenty of space for everyone. Great deck with outdoor dining space and comfortable seating area. The dining room table seats up to twelve people. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to make meals. The beds were all comfortable and there was plenty of towels for the week. The owner, Tom was great to work with - answering questions quickly while we were deciding where to stay and after we booked. He connected us with someone who can come in to cook or deliver meals to the house - which is a nice treat with a large group. We weren't able to take advantage of this because I didn't plan early enough - but the menus were delightful and all locally sourced. If you want a really great meal out you do have to get reservations well in advance, We went to the Chandler Room and the meal was spectacular. A great thing about St Andrews is its size - almost any place you visit there is within walking distance of the house. The only place we drove to was the golf course and Minister's Island.

Welcoming Windrose

Dear Tom, I cannot think of one other aspect of our stay that could be improved upon! Built in 1825 your lovely home embraced us like a warm hug. Our family of thirteen fit in with room to spare. The beautiful bones of this historic house were untouched, with the modern upgrades ( kitchen, bathrooms, internet) blended in with grace and thoughtful planning. All the necessities for cooking, family meals, television/cable availability were amply supplied. The large garden with rose maze entertained the children, along with the puzzles and games provided in the library. The generous stone terrace with plentiful cushioned seating invited conversation during the soft evenings. The deer with their fawns provided entertainment as they grazed on the overhanging branches. We felt honored to have spent such happy hours within Windrose’s embrace. Thank you Tom for allowing us this very special sojourn in the center of St. Andrews. We can only hope to be lucky enough to do it again. Many Thanks, The Welstead Family August 2023

Amazing property for a group

The property was exactly as advertised. Exceptionally comfortable bedrooms. Plenty of space for a large family, and the owners were great to deal with. The kitchen has been updated with high-end appliances, and the dining room is large and very comfortable. Great location with a very short walk to the waterfront and all main attractions. The grounds are also very nicely maintained. You can tell that the owners take great pride in this home.

Magnificent house in St. Andrews N.B.

We can’t say enough about how we loved our stay in this magnificent home. Our two families – 4 parents and 5 adult children – spent four days at this wonderful property in August 2022, and enjoyed every aspect of it. The house is enormous, offering six bedrooms adjoining 4 full bathrooms, with a 5th bathroom on the main floor. A large, fully-stocked kitchen opens onto an enormous dining room, which affords great space for morning visiting and happy hour gathering. The living room, den, sunroom and outdoor patio all provide comfortable sitting space options to suit any weather conditions. Every space has been decorated tastefully, carefully and beautifully to suit the style of this historic residence, but without uncomfortable opulence. Everything we needed was provided – laundry facilities, window air conditioning, towels and linens, high-end kitchen appliances, great lighting, ample parking – and the friendly owner, Tom, was attentive and responsive to our needs. Situated just two short blocks from the main intersection of St. Andrews, we were able to walk up and back from the wharf and shopping district in minutes. We highly recommend this property to all St. Andrews visitors. A real gem!

Another outstanding stay

Hard to describe in words how memorable our stay was and how much fun we had. Our 2nd stay in 3 years (on either side of lockdown) and it was worth the wait....! Perfect spot for 2 families, with teenagers in tow, to settle in for 2 weeks. Enough space in this historic house to never be in each other's way, plenty of backyard and patio space for quiet times when required and dinner (and after-dinner) times together. Frequent visits to the backyard from the local deer community was a real treat. Wonderfully kitted kitchen allowed for a range of meals, including fresh seafood bought from the market in St John, to be prepared together, enjoyed around the huge dining room table, music in the study, board games in the sunroom and the occasional TV watching in the lounge. Space and facilities to cater for every taste - and we hardly even made it to the "ship room". The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and very spacious and with the number of bathrooms, the teenagers never had to wait around. The town is treasure...! So many wonderful waterside restaurants, little shops to browse around and all the basics within easy walking distance of the house. We ventured around a bit with day trips to the local towns, visits to the local museums, music concerts on Minister's Island and in Kingsbrae Gardens, a memorable whale watching trip, almost daily swimming at Katie's Cove and an "embarrassing" amount of golf on what must be one of the most scenic coastal lay-outs in the country. All up, an absolutely outstanding property in the most wonderful place. Tom is a pleasure to deal with, happy to help with any info or recommendations and always there when you may need him. A true gem...for the love of NB, go....!

Beautiful large kitchen, comfy beds, great solarium and lovely yard where the deer visited made for a great getaway. It’s close proximity to the downtown area is definitely a plus.

Stunning property in the heart of once of the best and quaintest seaside towns we've ever been to...! The house is beautiful and huge - plenty of space for everybody to chill out, read, listen to music and hang out on the patio watching the wildlife in the backyard. Lovely sunroom, well kitted kitchen. Tom was a perfect host and dealt efficiently with a couple of hick-ups at the outset, mostly caused by our group...! He was very attentive and provided outstanding restaurant suggestions ...and good advice for how to play the Algonquin golf course - an absolute gem on the end of the water...!

Absolutely amazing! Our entire family gives this house 5 stars!

This is one of the most beautiful and fantastic homes we have ever visited or stayed in! We booked this for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding weekend. It brought together two large families and all of members of the wedding party under one roof. We have many special memories of our time in this awesome house! There was tons of space, beautiful decor, an amazing sun room, outdoor patio and huge yard. There is so much character and history in every single room and space in this house. Somehow the owners have taking the historic aspects of the house and blended them with a stunning modern kitchen and amenities that make this house magical. We highly recommend this rental home and we are all plotting a way to go back and spend more time enjoying and exploring this historic and modernly updated house! The owner Tom was fantastic to work with. He was very attentive, helpful and made our wedding weekend very special! He even had amenities for the grandkids to enjoy. We were very lucky to have the opportunity to also rent the attached apartment which made getting ready for the big wedding day at Ticklebelly Hill that much smoother and spacious. Thanks to the wonderful tenants for sharing with us!

Gorgeous home for a family stay

We rented this property for my family to stay while I got married in st Andrew's. The owner, Tom, and caretaker, Dave, were incredibly friendly, helpful, communicative and made my family feel very welcome. The property comfortably slept 8 adults, 2 tweens, and a couple tiny kiddies for four nights.

This historical property has charmed us all.

This property is absolutely gorgeous. We rented out Windrose with our bridal party, and anytime someone would stop in to say hello it would quickly be followed up with a demand for a tour of the house. The owners have somehow managed to provide the most beautiful updates without sacrificing any of its historical charm. Location: ~1 minute walk to Water St or 5 to Kingsbrae Garden Cleanliness: Spotless Host: Prompt and ready with recommendations for areas around town Grounds: Huge. Easy to get lost inside the house when first entering. The exterior has a large garden off of the brick patio. Everyday we'd be greeted by a doe and her fawns, it was magical. Windrose is far and away the best property any of us have stayed in. After the first night we were already making plans to try and come back for a reunion trip. We loved it!

Stunning Home Away from Home!

This property had it all! First and foremost I would like to mention how beautifully this property has been updated but still paying tribute to the age of the home. The fireplaces in every room, the claw footed tubs, the lighting, windows and trim...beautiful! (I could go on!) We were 8 Adults, 3 Teenagers, and 4 little ones and we had more than enough room to be all together or find a quiet spot to ourselves if we so desired. They had several items on hand for the little ones that made it so much easier for the parents to keep them entertained. The only slight negative was the fact that there was no air conditioning on the 1st and 2nd floor so at times it was a little warm. That being said, it has been unseasonably hot and humid which is not the norm. As per the owner's suggestion we would shut everything down in the day and opened everything up at night and used the supplied fans and the house stayed relatively cool. The most heat was in the kitchen when cooking on the gas stove! The owner, Tom, was wonderful to deal with, very accommodating, attentive and had many suggestions to make our stay one to remember. We had a wonderful family vacation! Thanks again Tom!

Dream House in St Andrews

If you get a chance to book this home then I highly recommend you do! We had the most incredible stay over our wedding weekend. The kitchen is absolutely stunning and we had a couple wonderful large dinners with family and friends in the beautiful dining room. Everyone was blown away by the space and we had plenty of room for all of our guests in the spacious bedrooms and several bathrooms. The outdoor space was also incredible for entertaining and the entire home felt very private while still being very close to all necessary amenities. The owner was very easy to contact and checked in multiple times throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. Check in and check out was also as simple as could be. We had the most perfect stay and I would rent this home again in a heartbeat, we are already missing it!

About the host

Hosted by Tom O'Connor

Host profile image
This wonderful house has been in our family since the mid 1980's. We visit St Andrews frequently and miss it when we're not there. We love to renovate and with the help of some great local contractors managed to put a shine on this place. There's always more work to do in a nearly 200 year old house, but we're taking a breather for a while and are happy to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

St Andrews is a pretty unique place with some special homes. We love ours because it's spacious, bright and in the middle of everything. Architectural character throughout, mixed with modern touches to make for an easy, comfortable trip. There's something great about hitting the grocery store at the beginning of the trip and just setting up camp for a week in this house.

It's all on foot after the first couple hours. For us, that emphasizes that we're away from our normal routines. No cars, no trains, no planes. Just some good cooking in the beautiful kitchen, kicking back on the patio or taking in the town. It's hard to leave, really. The drive home is just an opportunity to plan the next trip.
