About this property

Charming cottage with washer/dryer and patio - walk to Long Sands Beach

  • 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.

Charming cottage

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.

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

Yoga Retreat

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!

Great location

The cottage is ideally located near a beautiful beach. Bedsheets, bathroomes, fridge and stove were sparkling clean. However, kitchen cabinets, kitchen ceiling fan and stairway carpet need a serions clean up. We had great weather and thorougly enjoyed thé beach and the region.

Wonderful coastal cottage

The cozy cottage offers more space than it looks from the outside. The kitchen is well-equipped, and it included a big dining table. The large living room was a great gathering place for our group of five adults. We loved the location--just a few steps away from the ocean, where we were able to walk for a good distance in either direction. The cottage also offers good proximity to Portsmouth and Ogunquit.

Beach house

This property has a great location. Walking distance to the beach. Besides that it was in okay condition and had adequate amenities (TV, Kitchen, etc). The ceilings upstairs are a little short so if you are 6ft or above that is definitely a consideration to keep in mind. Downstairs though had plenty of room, good furniture and there were window AC units in every room that were very helpful.

Annual Christmas shopping trip

On arrival property very clean. Amenities as advertised. Excellent location. Comfortable beds and couches. Overall we had a great time. Couple of small issues; Roku on tv difficult to use due to unfamiliarity with program, and could not get any regular network tv. Wood on floor between living room and dining area is broken , in two pieces and not secured to the floor any more. And clearly a trip hazard.

Maine experience

We had 8 adults down for a family wedding and the Cottage at Long Sands worked out great for our 4 night stay. The bedroom & bathroom on the main floor worked for our 91 year old mom. The place was roomy enough to sit comfortably in the living room or dining area together. Kitchen could use more regular cups/glasses but otherwise well-enough equipped. And you can’t beat the location- just a quick walk to the beach and that beautiful ocean view! Needs a few more lights - or at least lightbulbs in all the lights! Otherwise - did the trick for our gang. Will also mention that the cottage is situated in a little condo community and they aren’t kidding about the two-car parking limitations. No problems with that and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Small cottage near the beach

I visited this cottage with 4 other friends. It is about 150 from the beach, though the beach is not visible from the cottage. The 3 upstairs bedrooms are very small with low ceilings, though we didn't spend much time in them besides sleeping, so this wasnt an issue. It may be an issue if you are very tall. The living and dining rooms accommodated us fine. The only big drawback was the condition of the cottage when we arrived. While the floors and beds were clean, there was old coffee in the coffee pot, baked on food on the stovetop, and wet playes in tje cabinet. We had no idea why they were wet, so we ended up washing all of them. When I notified the company handling the cottage, they did offer to send somone over to clean it, but we had already taken care of everything. I would recommend this cottage to people who want to be very close to the beach, and hope that the cleaning service improves.

Super comfortable and clean. Attention to detail where amenities and convenience were concerned was remarkable. Lovely beach theme decor, we kept finding charming details all weekend! Pictures on VRBO site were completely accurate. Kitchen appliances were clean and all were functional. It was easy to function in even with multiple people in the space. Beach was remarkably close and easy to reach. Host was responsive to a minor issue we reported and it was dealt with promptly. We were quite comfortable and happy staying here and are already talking about how much we would love return for another stay.
