This coastal maine cottage was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Communication with the owner and the caretaker of the property was great. The house had everything we needed and more. It felt like being home, but with better views and a great outdoor shower. The area is amazing, (20 min in one direction for Kittery and 20 min in the other direction for Ogunquit), but York itself is beautiful and charming. Being able to watch the sunrise from the deck or within a quick walk to the beach was such a treat! We also loved morning coffee and dinners on the deck with those amazing views of the ocean and Nubble Lighthouse. We loved everything about our stay here and would be happy to return again in the future.

Cozy, spotless cottage with all the amenities we needed (and then some). Manager greeted us personally and inquired re our needs throughout our visit. Very friendly neighbors and lovely views from the back deck. Very relaxed, convenient, and mellow spot. Despite location on 1A, traffic was never an issue and the convenience was spot-on re walking, bike riding, parks, beaches and restaurants. We definitely recommend the property.

Perfect oceanfront stay

The house was clean, bright and airy with beautiful ocean views. We spent many hours on the back deck enjoying the salty air and sea breeze. The location was perfect - a nice neighborhood and an easy walk to Nubble Light (2 miles), York Beach (1 mile), Hartley Mason Reserve (1 mile). And an easy drive to many great towns.
