About this property
Short walk to Long Sands, recently updated, walk to restaurants
The cottage is a short stroll (.2 miles) to Long Sands Beach. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck while you listen to the sounds of the ocean a few blocks away. In 2018 the Main(e) cottage was updated with new appliances, furnishings, paint, vaulted living room with exposed beam, lighting, new exterior decking, and enclosed outdoor shower. In 2023 cottage was renovated including new windows, kitchen and bathroom shower stall.
The Main(e) cottage has 2 Bedrooms, (1 Queen and 1 twin over full bunk bed) It also includes off-street parking for 2 cars ( front to back) in a shared driveway, cable TV, WIFI, DVD, books, board games, puzzles, movies, enclosed outdoor shower ( hot/cold water), gas grill and lawn games (bocce, checkers, Jenga, connect four) The kitchen is fully equipped with a coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, toaster, microwave, rice cooker, refrigerator, stove, pots ( including lobster) and pans.
Also included, a beach cart, beach chairs (for adults & kids) sand pails, and shovels. Beach games.
The cottage is near the southern end of the beach. It's a 5-minute walk to the water. Once there you can see views of the Nubble and Boon Island off in the distance.
Looking to get to short sands? walk or ride your bikes the beautiful 2 miles along the water
Bring your bikes and explore York Harbor. (1.5 miles away)
The cottage comes with pillows and coverlets on the beds, but bed and bath linens are not provided.
smoking in the cottage or on the property is NOT allowed. No Fires allowed ( fire pits or grills. Gas grill provided)
No pets allowed
We love spending time at our cottage and want you to enjoy it as much as we do:)
We own a second cottage on the property which we occasionally use. You may see us on our patio or going to and from our cars or taking our dog for a walk. There is a chance we may never cross paths.
But most important is you enjoying your vacation. We are always respectful of you and are mindful of your privacy.

Why they chose this property
Close to everything but also set back in area of small seasonal cottages. Because of this we do not have a lot of street traffic. You can sit back unwind and enjoy the sounds of the ocean.
