Swim, windsurf, and sunbathe all summer long at this York cottage - a family-friendly Maine escape with a private patio and an unbeatable location about a block from Long Sands Beach!
The perfect retreat for a family or a group of couples, this quaint, two-story cottage situates you within walking distance of the sand and waves. Take sunrise walks along the shoreline toward the Nubble Light to the north, watch the boats come and go from York Harbor two miles south, and sample the darling eateries in the York Historic District one mile west.
Greet the morning sun in the remodeled living space, where you'll find free WiFi, window air-conditioning units (in the living room and three bedrooms), and a country kitchen with double ovens to assist with breakfast. In the summer, grab the beach chairs and a towel from the washer/dryer on your way out the door, and return home for lunch on the gas grill (available seasonally), a board game on the patio, and a movie or two in the living room on the cable TV.

Wonderful

Clean , comfortable beds , great kitchen table to hang around . Not much curb appeal, didn’t realize from pictures and description that houses were 2 feet apart. Good for winter when no one else is there, but would never stay there in summer . Convenient to lots of places to hike , snowshoe . Most of the restaurants close in the winter . Overall fine for what we were looking for !
We enjoyed our stay at this property…very convenient to a family wedding venue at Scotland Fields, and just a walk across the street to the beach.

Great place for the family.
Found this for a last-minute getaway for 8 of us and we were pleasantly surprised. House was very clean and inside was charming. We loved the big fridge, access to washer / dryer and cable tv. There were 2 full bathrooms which was very helpful. Downstairs bed was very comfortable. Very close to the beach and very quiet! It was nice to walk out to the beach in the morning. We didn’t use outdoor area…less charming but practical. I liked that it was on the quieter end of the beach. It had a well equipped kitchen and there were beach chairs, games and puzzles. Thank you for a great stay.

Nice Little Cottage
Centrally located for our sister’s shopping weekend, plenty of room for 5 of us.
House was clean with the exception of the area rugs - they could stand a deep cleaning.
Would stay here again

We highly appreciate your review, Janice. We have taken this into account as a means to make the necessary improvements. We value your feedback and hope to host you again in your future stays.
This was a perfect location for a small yoga retreat. The house was perfect, and the living room was the perfect size to set up our yoga classes. It was wonderful to be within walking distance of the ocean and we wouldn’t love to stay at this house again!
We enjoyed staying in the cottage. The location is ideal for exploring the sights in Southern Maine. Beds were comfortable and the place was spacious for our group of four women. Beach was less than a block away.
Very convient so we could walk the beach twice a day (or more), cozy cottage for our sibling reunion.
We are all in our 80’s and have not had vacation together in 10 years. We would book again thru VRBO as it was just as described.
