In2021 we installed 2 Mitsubishi minisplit airconditioner/heat, one in dining area one in living room.
Combination locks on the doors, no keys to lose! Outside there are 2 parking places, outdoor chairs and table. Sit outside and enjoy the quiet family neighborhood. The cottage is a 'stone's throw' to a rocky beach for tide pooling, swimming at high tide, star gazing, and views of Shorts Sands Beach! Hear the waves from the cottage!
Popular Short Sands Beach is a pleasant 1/2 mile walk on a tree-lined side street. Shops, restaurants, cafe, etc.
You'll find York's Wild Kingdom, The Goldenrod (world famous for salt water taffy made the same way for over 100 years), Funarama with games including skee ball, a wonderful beach side playground and the Gazebo for summer concerts. Walk on another 20 minutes to Dunne's ice cream and on to the Nubble Lighthouse, enjoying the rocky Maine coastline, and fabulous ocean views. Long Sands beach is another little walk or drive away.

Short drives open a world of sightseeing, shopping, hiking, boating, etc. Portland is 30 minutes away with ferries to the Maine islands; driving up or down the coast leads you to outlet shopping at Freeport, one hour away, or Kittery, 15 minutes away; a burst of driving to the heart of the New Hampshire White Mountains for a days junket is one and one-half hours away.
Please supply your own sheets, pillow cases, towels, beach towels, bath mat, dish towels.
We have a small collapsible cart and 4 beach chairs in an outside “shed” .
We don't clean the barbecue, so please leave it the way you'd like to find it!
The cottage has been in our family for 40 years, we love it and hope you will love it too and return year after year like some of our guests do!!
Please note, we accept pets on an individual basis. If you have allergies to pets, please find other accommodations.
We have TV with Roku stick. Please bring your passwords for Netflix etc. We have password secure high speed internet. Keywords: Tastefully Updated Year Round Cottage Near the Beach

Gary's family picked family oriented York for their vacation spot from their home in Keene. I'm Gary's wife, Marion, I'm from Bermuda, and a flight attendant. I love the cottage as our whole family does! We find York so interesting and has kept the old fashioned family oriented way, it is fascinating and charming. A great place to vacation year after year. We love it there. We just live 30 minutes away.

Family friendly, close to beaches. Several miles from Highway, easy to find. York is a year round town, there are reasons to come here any time of the year! The beaches, antiquing, proximity to Portland, Boston, mountains, ocean, etc!

What makes this property unique

This family friendly area, suitable for all ages. The beach, town, playground. Areas to explore, the White Mountains a few hours beautiful drive away. Shopping outlets in Kittery and Freeport. The Maine coast with spectacular scenery. Fall Foliage and the coast line are a wonderful combination for the walker, painter, photographer, or just want to see what it's all about!
