The past three years we have stayed at the Cycad Ave location. Absolutely love the set up, location and everything about it. It has everything that you need. The location is perfect with the lighthouse right down the road. I hope to continue going there for years to come. ##### KathrynC This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth B. 17 Jul 2024 #### Widow’s Walk We loved the house. Great location. The only think that we would recommend is the lower bunk bed needs a new mattress. I shipped sheets and bought towels which was a pain as we traveled from Texas and did not want to pack them. Otherwise the house was amazing! ##### Elizabeth B.

The past three years we have stayed at the Cycad Ave location. Absolutely love the set up, location and everything about it. The only thing that would make it better would be air conditioning but we bring fans and that does the trick. The location is perfect with the lighthouse right down the road. I hope to continue going there for years to come. ##### KathrynC This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven C. 12 Aug 2024 #### Happy Place we have been staying at the rustic 3-Bd cottage at Nubble for a few years now. in all the years we have been vacationing in York this is by far the most equipped place we have ever stayed. There are more than enough dishes, silverware bowls, cups, etc. It is always very clean and well kept. And our favorite part about it is the wraparound Porch where you were able to just sit and enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather is. I highly recommend this location and pray that we’re able to stay there for many years to come. ##### Steven C. ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanne C. 16 Aug 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Perfect location If you're looking for the perfect location this is it. It's right across the street from the beach! It's close to the trolley line and the beach bath house. A couple of negatives: The listing states air conditioned but it's a portable unit in the closet. It was very warm the week we were there. There were 2 fans in the room with the bunk beds so it helped a little. The room with the bunk beds was very uncomfortable. The property manager offered to put the air conditioner in but we said no as it was a small unit. All the windows were crank out so not sure where it would have gone anyhow. The bathroom is very small. The water pressure in the shower was terrible. All and all we did enjoy our stay and management was very responsive. ##### Joanne C.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne E. 29 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Getaway Excellent location. Right on the beach for long morning and evening walks, very short ride to Nubble Light and other coastal sights. Kitchen had all necessities for cooking - cookware, seasonings, utensils, etc. Bed was comfortable. Good WiFi. ##### Jeanne E. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda E. 13 Aug 2018 #### Location location location. You can't beat the view. This location is perfect. We enjoyed watching the ocean from our window side table. It was an easy walk to local restaurants and stores. The condo is located on the third floor. It was clean and well equipped. My guess is this is a pet friendly home. Or the owners have a pet. If you or any one in your party is allergic, I wouldn't recommend this home. We aren't allergic, but I could smell dog on the furniture and rugs. ##### Linda E. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018
