The view is fantastic. You can hear the 'waves crashing for a very soothing experience. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. It was stocked with everything we needed. Our 2 weeks there was exactly what we needed.

A little piece of paradise!

The views are simply amazing! It is just over a mile walk to Short Sands and Long Sands beaches, which made for such beautiful walks every morning. The properties all around are gorgeous. We hope to be back!

Nubble Stay

Nice place for two people. A/C would have been needed if it was previous week, but we lucked out with weather. Neighbors were fabulous and looking forward to returning next year. Perfect for the two of us! Great location!

Beach week

We had a great week, the water was warm, and the waves were fun. The cottage was perfect for the family. The only issue was that the grill didn't work. Other than that, we loved the cottage.

Amazing week!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage, the view is so amazing! The cottage was the perfect size for my husband and two young children. We are outside every night and my kids played in the grass area while we enjoyed the view. Thank you!

Unbelievable views

Cute cottage in a beautiful community. We fished right off of the rocky coast outside of our front door! Only a 1 mile bike ride or walk to long sands or short sands beach. Only critique is that I would definitely put a real bed in the second bedroom rather than a convertible couch, and put a better mattress in the loft if it’s meant to be slept in, our son was not comfortable on either of these bed options. Otherwise it’s a cute and quaint cottage in a beautiful location and the communication with the rental company was good.

Amazing location with great views

The location is truly amazing - both in terms of the views from the front room as well as proximity to several beaches, restaurants and ice cream. Despite several rental houses in the same small area, it never felt crowded and most of the time we had the whole waterfront to ourselves and we really enjoyed morning coffee watching the waves. It does have to be said, however, that the house is teeny. We were 5 (3 adults and 2 kids) and it was very tight quarters especially with only 1 bathroom. We were lucky that the weather was so great all week that we were able to be outside which is really the point of going to the beach, right? Just a caution for others.

The view is worth the stay

Small cottage directly on the ocean with access to hundreds of feet of ledges makes the stay worth it. There's a small community of cottages where everyone has access to cross everyone's front lawns. But folks are friendly and it didn't bother us. Our granddaughters loved playing in the loft although it's usually too hot to sleep up there even with the window air conditioner on in the living area. There are Adirondack chairs in front of the cottage and on the ledge directly in front of the cottage that are NOT for the use of the renters of this cottage. Other than a picnic table, no other outside chairs provided. Every other cottage has Adirondack chairs and/or lounge chairs except this one. The owners should spend a little to provide these. Only two issues for us inside. Chairs and curtains. There are only two chairs for the table. There are four vintage commercial high bar-type stools that are of no value to this rental that should be removed and replaced with with additional chairs that will work with the table. Or at least buy some folding chairs and pack in the closet. There really should be six usable chairs in this unit for a meal if the owner makes the cottage available for six guests. Also, the kitchen table takes a leaf so six can eat, but we could never find the leaf. We knew from the pictures there were no curtains so we brought black curtains for the bedrooms. Again, the interior and exterior chair issues pale in comparison to the location. On a side note, Foxes Seafood is just steps away, but we come to the area often and they have raised their prices in each of the last two years. I don't know of a place from Kittery to Kennebunk that charges more for fish and chips. It's worth the ride to Barnacle Billy's in Perkins Cove or Mike's Clam Shack in Wells to have seafood with bigger portions and lower prices.

Thanks so much for your careful feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at our oceanfront, 1940s cottage. We agree that the unrestricted, slightly unreal views of the Atlantic make everything else fall back, just a little. Seriously. Thanks for noting the particulars of the space; it's not for everyone. Our fantastic (truly) neighbors are in close proximity (which we love) and our place is a quintesssential southern Maine cottage: one living room/kitchen; two bedrooms (one fully convertible into study; ask us how); one sleeping loft; one three quarter bathroom (with water pressure in the shower we miss when we're elsewhere). Thanks for reminding us that different families have different needs. We're keen to make sure our listing reflects this. Our place sleeps four routinely; five, comfortably (with a fifth in the loft); and six, easily, if one soul loves a futon/couch. We tried seven, ill-advisedly, once, so we list it as sleeps six. Funny that you mention our vintage stools... We've tried to offer a thoughtfully (maybe even graciously) appointed kitchen/dining space. We struggled with whether or not to leave the futon; having it against the breakfast bar means fewer stools there. We're grateful for your views. We do have camp chairs (that fold into these cool, cylindrical sleeves with carrying straps) in one of the closets. Maybe y'all missed 'em? And extra seating elsewhere (more at the table at the window and more for outside) are such thoughtful ideas; we're on it. Thanks! Having views of the Atlantic from every single window means it's our preference not to miss a second of the constantly changing light. N.B. The folks at Fox's are brilliant neighbors! We think one of the charms of our location (besides the views) is how cozy the place feels and yet how close we are (just just under a mile) to/from both Long Sands Beach and Short Sands Beach, which means that there are a dizzying number of food options when cooking-doesn't quite-happen, with other York restaurants a short ride away. And, as you noted, Ogunquit (and Portsmouth and Kittery) are super quick jaunts, too.

Great for family with small kids

Overall a great little cottage in a great spot. Spent the week there with my 2 younger daughters and it was the perfect size. I used the cottage as basically a home base, Serving as our spot to eat, sleep, and shower. It’s right next to the busy fox’s and bubble light but you don’t hear or feel any of the commotion as the cottages have a private driveway and parking area blocking it all out. It’s a very quiet and relaxing spot for the beginning and end of the day, or the whole day for that matter. I had a great week with my kids, they loved the cottage and sleeping in the loft and I would definitely stay here again.
