Great stay! Would definitely book again

My husband and my one year old daughter had a great stay at this little cottage. The porch was private and relaxing and the location was perfect. Would definitely stay again!

York beach stay

The cottage had all the amenities we needed and was in walking distance of the nearby beach and lighthouse area. The drives to area towns, beaches, and the mountain were short enabling us to take in numerous activities. Our host was inviting, gracious and was available for any questions of the area and property. We now know why people come back to this area often.

A very nice stay

It was our fifth time and York Beach (so we can compare) and this was one the best we had. Close to everything, a quiet street and the warmest people you can find in Mike and Janice. Ideal for a couple, a bit small for a family but easy to manage if your on vacation. C'était parfait!

York Beach vacation

Overall a good vacation. Could have had better weather but no one can control that. The cottage is small but very cute. The back deck is a wonderful place to sit and read. Very private.

Cute Cottage, close walk to Short sands

We very much appreciated the ease of check-in and the access to the Property Manager when we needed it. This was a great place for the price and we would recommend.

Tiny but sweet. Great location.

Pros: Cute place- quick walk to Short Sands, amazing private patio, cold ac in both bedrooms, quiet street, super nice hosts. Great town- plenty to see and do, good for all ages. Zoo, arcade, playground, piano bar, brewery, lots of shops, lots of food, lots of snacks. Cons (sorry!): Tight quarters - it's just two bedrooms, a bathroom, a tiny kitchen and a small main room. It was fine for two adults and a young kid but larger groups may want to take caution. BUT the patio makes up for it, we spent most of our time out there. Some repairs are needed- this is our second year here and both times the heat didn't work. BUT they had someone there trying to fix it within hours of us mentioning it so we appreciated the effort. The patio door did not want to slide easily. We could use it with some effort but our kid needed help every time. Overall recommended- a great place for a beach vacation.

Week beach trip

We’ve been coming to York with large family group annually for 45 years, this year we came twice (once with large group and once with just us). The property was perfectly located with easy parking. Nice shady, private deck!

Wonderful week

We rented this cottage for a week and we’re thankful to have a place with a living room and separate bedrooms on rainy days. The back porch was absolutely amazing and we could’ve spent hours out there, enjoying the impeccable landscaping. Our daughter is only a year old and this was the perfect size for the three of us.

Very close to downtown and short sands beach :)

We had a great vacation. It was a quick walk to downtown and short sands beach, maybe 4 minutes tops. We also walked to long sands beach a few times which was only about 15 minutes. Place was clean and the deck was wonderful. Owners were very nice and helpful. We LOVED it!

Privacy

This property worked out just perfect for my husband and I. The location is excellent. I felt the size worked out well for us and think it would be tight for more than 3, but it depends on your situation and plans...as we are not there to spend the day at the cottage. I plan on booking this place again in 2023.

Tiny but great. Private patio was amazing. Short walk to the beach, downtown, zoo. Quiet street.

It was close quarters for 3 adults and a toddler but if that's not a problem for your group then I highly recommended this place. The beach and downtown were only a three minute walk away, great for an after dinner stroll and snack. We ended up not spending as much time at the beach as we had planned because the patio was such a nice surprise. It was very private all around - we ate most of our meals out there. Very lovely. Very nice hosts, the area felt safe, not a lot of traffic, quiet. No complaints.

York Beach cottage

Cute little cottage close to short sands beach and downtown. Perfect for 2-4 people. Lovely outdoor private sitting area is a bonus! Small gas grill would be better than the charcoal grill provided but we didn't use it anyway. Would definitely rent again and would highly recommend it!
