the Trash
The only problem was that we did not know what to do with trash so we took it home with us -- we did reach out but all were super busy being a holiday weekend

Great location, very clean
Cottage has a great location, you can walk to the beach easily. It was spacious and very clean. Great outdoor space with chairs and grill, as well as a rack for drying bathing suits and towels! They even left a tide chart on the fridge. The only constructive criticism I have is that the cottage can be hard to locate as the number is not clearly marked from the street. An easy fix would just be a simple sign that says “parking for [address]” in the parking area. I texted for help when I could not locate it and they promptly replied with clarified directions which was great. I would definitely stay here again!

Little privacy would of been nice
Cottage was cozy! Pics of cottage don’t show the double decker house in the side yard overlooking everything you do! I believe it was the owner but she never told us. She did watch everything we did with comments on a few things.

Adorable Spot Near the Ocean
The character of the Big Cottage was beautiful & perfect for our family getaway during the 4th of July! We enjoyed the town of York & being walking distance from the ocean. The cottage was very clean & comfortable in terms of space for the 6 of us. Being pet-friendly would allow us to come back more often, but we were very pleased with our stay!
