Cottage At Nubble Lighthouse - Directly on the water!

Thanks so much for your careful feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at our oceanfront, 1940s cottage. We agree that the unrestricted, slightly unreal views of the Atlantic make everything else fall back, just a little. Seriously. Thanks for noting the particulars of the space; it's not for everyone. Our fantastic (truly) neighbors are in close proximity (which we love) and our place is a quintesssential southern Maine cottage: one living room/kitchen; two bedrooms (one fully convertible into study; ask us how); one sleeping loft; one three quarter bathroom (with water pressure in the shower we miss when we're elsewhere). Thanks for reminding us that different families have different needs. We're keen to make sure our listing reflects this. Our place sleeps four routinely; five, comfortably (with a fifth in the loft); and six, easily, if one soul loves a futon/couch. We tried seven, ill-advisedly, once, so we list it as sleeps six. Funny that you mention our vintage stools... We've tried to offer a thoughtfully (maybe even graciously) appointed kitchen/dining space. We struggled with whether or not to leave the futon; having it against the breakfast bar means fewer stools there. We're grateful for your views. We do have camp chairs (that fold into these cool, cylindrical sleeves with carrying straps) in one of the closets. Maybe y'all missed 'em? And extra seating elsewhere (more at the table at the window and more for outside) are such thoughtful ideas; we're on it. Thanks! Having views of the Atlantic from every single window means it's our preference not to miss a second of the constantly changing light. N.B. The folks at Fox's are brilliant neighbors! We think one of the charms of our location (besides the views) is how cozy the place feels and yet how close we are (just just under a mile) to/from both Long Sands Beach and Short Sands Beach, which means that there are a dizzying number of food options when cooking-doesn't quite-happen, with other York restaurants a short ride away. And, as you noted, Ogunquit (and Portsmouth and Kittery) are super quick jaunts, too.

Thanks Ryan. So glad you enjoyed your week! Heidi
