We had a great time at York Cottage!

This was our 4th year staying here and we already plan to book again, hopefully for many years to come! The location can’t be beat for our family specifically! Just steps to a very private beach, short walk to the park or Cristy’s restaurant. We make the best memories here and look forward to our time here all year long. Our boys are always very sad to leave because it always ends to soon! Thank you for sharing it with us! - The Franzosas

With the kids now all being adults, I didn’t think we would be having anymore family vacations but everyone wanted to go! Although the weather was touch and go, the cottage did not disappoint. It had everything we needed, only needed to go groceries. We did bring a few beach chairs being 7 of us, and glad we did. Private beach area was very small but an easy walk to a small public area that still close enough to walk back and grab lunch or use the bathroom at the cottage. Might suggest another small AC unit on each floor if humidity high. We lucked out and the two small units kept it ok considering the weather was not too hot and humid.

This was our third year staying at York Cottage and it was as amazing as every year prior. We enjoy every minute of our time there. Mornings on the beach, afternoons playing games or reading on the porch, and evenings taking walks to the Surf Club park that our boys love so much! We have already booked for next year and are counting down the days!

We always look forward to our stay at York Cottage: clean, well-equipped, and comfortable! We love that we can walk to the beach and swim, paddleboard, canoe, and play on floats.
Perfect!

I was so happy to be back at York Cottage this year, enjoying my grandchildren at the beach. The house is roomy and comfortable, with all the amenities. All you need to bring is your bathing suit, sunscreen and food!

It's getting to be rare to find an authentic New England beach cottage and York Cottage did not disappoint. Built for enjoying the sandy beach only steps away, it had the most glorious screened in porch where we lived, catch up with our friends and having so many laughs. The rooms and kitchen were well equipped. There were beach chairs, noodles and all kinds of beach stuff. We had a cool week, but there were more fans than we even needed.
The location is truly perfection. Steps to beach, steps to Madison Beach Hotel for drinks or dinner. Steps to Christy's restaurant for delicious pancakes. We took long walks along the shore alone Middle Beach Road. The sunsets were lovely.
I grew up in Madison and this is the kind of beach cottage that remember. We already booked for next summer! If you are thinking of renting...do it! I also loved that there was not a washer/dryer. We rinsed our suits and hung them to dry along with our beach towels. Such a reminder that we are obsessed with perfectly clean clothes and I'm glad I didn't spend a minute of my beach vacation doing laundry!
Loved it so much!

I enjoyed a peaceful week on the water with my family and friends. York Cottage was perfect! Everyone wants to go back next year.

Travelling 700 miles from North Carolina to spend a week at York Cottage was well worth it. The four of us adults of a certain age enjoyed the easy access to the beach as well as the proximity of the Madison Beach Hotel and Christie's restaurant. This charming cottage is designed to meet any need one might have from socializing with each other to escaping to a secluded area. We look forward to returning next year.

This was our second year at York Cottage and we enjoyed every minute! The location can’t be beat for our family. A short walk to the park and Surf Club and steps to the beach! Our boys were so sad to leave. We can’t wait to be back next year and are already counting down!

We just returned from a wonderful beach vacation. The house was great and had plenty of room for two adults and 4 kids (ranging in age from 3 to 9). The large porch was our favorite part and we ate all our meals there and enjoyed spending time with our families and watching the kids make memories with their grandparents. The beach is so close and easily walkable from the house. The outdoor shower with hot and cold water was very helpful after a day at the beach. Sheila was a great communicator. We will definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay at York Cottage! It's rustic as described, but very well appointed, with comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen supplies, and a wonderful outdoor shower in addition to the full bath upstairs. We spent most of our time on the screened porches or just a few steps away on the quiet beach, and our kids enjoyed exploring the tide pools a bit further down the beach. We'd never been to the area and were pleasantly surprised by the calm waters and the proximity to orchards, outdoor dining and ice cream shops. Already dreaming of a return visit.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The house was so clean, and the kitchen was very well supplied. It have every type of pot, pan, dish, and/or bowl you could possibly want! The large front screened porch was a lovely place to rest and relax. Overall, our experience in this cute, rustic cottage was super. You can't beat the location! We will be back!
