We loved our stay at the Cutty Sark and will be back! The views of the ocean are incredible and Christine at the front desk was so kind and accommodating.
We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Cutty Sark! The rooms were large and very clean. Waking up to the ocean view is absolutely amazing. I would consider this a prime location. You get the relaxed vibes of Long Sands, while being a short 10-15 minute walk from Short Sands and the hustle and bustle of that area! The staff were super friendly and helpful. This will be our go to stay for future trips!
The property and staff were fantastic. The room was very cute with a door that opened up to a grassy area overlooking the water. We will definitely stay there again!
Absolute Gem! The oceanfront view from bed is amazing!!! The tides, the stars at night and the colors of the morning sunrise sky! Felt newly remodeled, clean and spacious! We stayed in the end unit lower building #21 second floor- perfection! Walkable to the lighthouse and many restaurants. Be sure to get coffee at the General Store opens 6:30 am!

Each person in the office was very friendly
Housekeeping came each day
The view from my room was priceless
Beautiful!!!!!!
We absolutely loved the motel. Very quaint with a beautiful view. The staff were so friendly. My only complaint would be that we couldn't enjoy sitting outside on the property because of a sewer type smell. It was not pleasant
Loved that it was right on the beach. There is a smell that surrounds the outside of the building, we believe it comes from the outside drains.
Our room was clean, bright and comfortable. There is 2 side windows in between are large picture window that can be opened to let in the wonderful sound of the ocean. The views from windows is fantastic. In my opinion it is the best place to stay on long sands beach in york . All of the other places are across the street from the beach. The staff was wonderful, friendly and very helpful. Prefect location to the lighthouse, restaurants and shops.
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Cutty Sark. The rooms are a little worn but very clean, the staff was friendly, and there was easy access to the beach. It was busy during our stay but everyone was quiet and respectful in the evenings. The lawn care did start a little early one morning. The outdoor seating and views were our favorite part, our kids loved it so much they are asking to go again next year.
We loved this property. The view was amazing, the staff was great. The beach is steps away, the hotel provides tables, chairs right off the rooms to enjoy the view and ocean breeze. It's a short walk to restaurants and to town for shopping.
