Wake up to the sound of the ocean waves at this charming, seaside cottage in York. With 121 feet of ocean frontage and a beautiful park-like setting, you can easily unwind on the Adirondack chairs and watch the waves, shooting stars or sunrise. You'll also be treated to a view of the Nubble Lighthouse and Boon Island! This homefeatures a gas fireplace, a cozy sunroom, a firepit and recently received beautiful upgrades while keeping the old charm. This home can also be rented together with Sea Belle - Castle Rock & Sea Belle Cottages.

Situated right on Pebble Beach, you can enjoy an afternoon of climbing on the reef and exploring the huge tidal pool playground at low tide. Go swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking or try fishing right off the rocks - and bring your water shoes for this! If you're visiting during the 4th of July, you'll have a great view of the fireworks. Take a quick stroll to the Short Sands Beach and downtown, which boasts great shopping and restaurants. The Cape Neddick Park is a mile north or head two miles south of this home to see the Nubble Light House up close.

    Wonderful property, great location. Looked just as advertised. Especially loved the porch facing the water. Would definitely return.

    My wife and I stayed at the Sea Belle cottage next door for the past two years for our anniversary and have had incredible times, but this year, we decided to splurge and rent the big house. The view of the ocean and York's two lighthouses, plus the soothing ringing of the red bell buoy, is something we dream about all year long. But the extra space in the living area & sun porch, the full bathrooms, and the larger kitchen made our stay at the Castle Rock nearly perfect. The short walk to Short Sands and easy access to Route 1 made getting around town simple. We cannot wait to come back!

    This house rental is directly on the water. I took my family here for my father’s 80th birthday surprise. It was amazing! The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway. We enjoyed watching the lobster fishermen each day checking the traps and even got to see whales feeding out by the bouys. Each morning was beautiful as we made it a point to get up early to watch the sunrise from the front porch. I’ve already mentioned to my friends whom also love the area to book this house as they won’t be disappointed.

    This place has all the charm you could ask for along the ocean. As small as it looks, it’s perfect for any size family. Walking distance to everything. Close to other homes but feels private when your outside near the water. Perfect getaway

    The house was clean when we arrived with plenty of bath and beach towels for use. We had 6 people and it was very comfortable with the bedrooms and communal spaces. The view of the ocean is spectacular and we spent every evening around the firepit with the sound of the ocean. The house is tucked away, but an easy walk to short sands beach in York.

    The cottage was amazing, however communication with property manager needs improvement. Amenities listed 2tv's only one when we got there none in the living room, 3 calls because nothing was resolved until the last call error on the website only one tv. Our last day there we found the tv in the living friend visiting who is an engineer hooked it up for us unfortunately it was our last day. other little things but the tv was the most. My son is autistic and legally blind he likes to watch listen to his game shows.

    What a perfect vacation! The layout was great for us, my elderly mom and our two kids. The location can't be beat -- a quick jaunt to a sandy beach, shops and restaurants -- but so relaxing just to to stay home. We ate every meal outside, enjoyed the firepit and lapping waves, and had plenty of time to relax while watching the kids scramble over the rocks and explore the tide pools. Highly recommend this rental for a classic Maine summer vacation.

    The location is amazing. Waking up to an ocean sunrise while drinking coffee was a highlight. The cottage is efficient, comfortable, and well designed.
