About this house rental

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.

A large, well-equipped house which easily accommodated our group of six adults and three children. We loved the outdoor patio and garden.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.
