About this property

Traditional cottage, walking distance to downtown and both Sands beaches

  • Welcome to your charming coastal retreat in York, Maine! This rustic, traditional cottage blends old-world character with modern essentials—perfect for families or couples looking to enjoy Maine's beautiful shoreline.

    While the home has a vintage feel, its unbeatable location is the true highlight. You can easily walk to downtown York, as well as both Short Sands Beach and Long Sands Beach, making sun-soaked days by the ocean effortless.

    Inside, the cottage features two cozy bedrooms plus a loft accessed by a ladder—ideal for older kids or adventurous guests. The living room includes a pull-out sofa for additional sleeping space (note that using it will reduce common area space). You'll also have a kitchenette stocked with essentials, WiFi, and a gas grill for easy summer meals.

    Step outside and enjoy the lively local scene. Within walking distance, you'll find everything from casual seaside cafés to classic Maine seafood spots. Treat yourself to fresh lobster rolls, creamy clam chowder, and don't miss a stop at Goldenrod for their famous saltwater taffy. Historic Cape Neddick Light (Nubble Light) is just a short bike ride away.

    Looking to explore further? You're just a quick drive from local favorites like Hartley Mason Reserve and the Ogunquit Museum of American Art—all within about six miles.

    Whether you're beachcombing, whale watching, or cruising scenic Route 1 through charming coastal villages, this cottage is the perfect home base for your Maine getaway.

    Book your stay and experience the timeless charm of York!

You can’t beat the location, it’s a very short walk to the beach. The area busy but quiet it’s a great place to relax after a long day at the beach. My areas of opportunity are the bed in the room closest to the front was brutal to sleep on. Both myself and my boyfriend had a hard time sleeping on it we kept comparing it to cardboard. The bathroom could use a quick update in my opinion. There was a floor mat that looked like it had never been washed and it made the whole bathroom feel dirty. Having the loft was great and really helped open up the space. The ladder was a big source of entertainment for the kids. My advice is to get a new mattress and bathroom mat.

More of an old camp than cottage, needs updating . Impossible check in, never got key til last minute, code didn’t work. Service help didn’t follow through. Think this is a multi layered owner and manager and local service, no one knows what’s going on.Host response to issues was a meaningless AI generated note.Photos must be old, not representative.

The location and check in process was excellent. We had everything that we could need, which was great! The room could’ve been more-thoroughly cleaned and could benefit from an AC unit.
