Cottage At Nubble Lighthouse - Directly on the water!

You can't stay any closer to The Nubble Lighthouse. Adorable 2 bedroom cottage with a loft. Amazing waterfront view! Wake up every morning and enjoy your coffee right on the water or relax at night with a glass of wine while you watch the waves hit the rocks. There is an ocean view from every room of this cottage. Plenty of yard space to spread out and play. Quick walk to Fox's Restaurant to get some ice cream or catch the Trolley and enjoy the scenic route around town. Here's a little bit about the cottage. The kitchen, living room and dining area are open concept. Converse with family and friends while preparing meals, all the while capturing the sites and sound of the ocean. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with an Ikea versatile sleeper. During the day, it can be a great second living area with a couch. At night, it converts to two twins or one king! It is very comfortable in any configuration. The loft is a cozy place for the kids, and can sleep one up there. This charming cottage provides a rare opportunity for the perfect vacation in Maine. The perfect spot to make for a relaxed and comfortable week (or two!) at the seacoast, reminiscent of the way life used to be or as we say in Maine, the way life should be. Come, park and play! The Sohier Cottage is located so close to everything you can literally park the car and leave it for the week while you enjoy walking or take the Trolley to two beaches and downtown York Beach. If you are familiar with the Short Sands area, then you know there is plenty for everyone to do. Of course there is a sandy beach, but also a large modern playground, penny candy, casual and fine dining options and of course, ice cream shops! York Beach is unique in that it offers entertainment for the family that will remind you of yesteryear. York's Wild Kingdom is a small amusement park with a very nice zoo. We have our gazebo near the ocean where you can listen to live music many nights a week plus arcades and bowling. For those of us looking for more mature amusement, there are a few nicely appointed bars within an easy walk where you can sit outside and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage while enjoying the sights and sounds of our beachside town. If you do want some day trip excursions, there is so much to do in our area! Here are some great ideas for family fun: Whale Watching out of York Harbor or Perkins Cove, day trip to Ogunquit to enjoy that 5 mile sandy beach plus great restaurants and shopping or play at one of two public golf courses in York. York Village is robust with colonial history featuring historic museums where you can travel back in time. Perhaps you might enjoy fresh or salt water fishing. There are locals here who will offer deep water fishing or guided kayak excursions. There is scuba diving, tennis courts, paddle boarding and so much more! The Cliff House, located on Shore Road between York and Ogunquit, is a world wide destination with a dramatic $100 million renovation that was recently completed in 2016. Enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or indulge in their gourmet dining. Perhaps live theatre is something you would love to enjoy on your vacation...well, we have it! Check out the Ogunquit Playhouse where nationally known stars are known to perform throughout the summer. Portsmouth, NH (just over the border and about 10 minutes away) also has fine live theatre at the Music Hall. Speaking of Portsmouth, let's not forget this wonderful small city. Always known for being a unique seaside port town, a resurgence has occurred over the last decade making this city a nationally recognized destination vacation spot on its own. Fine dining, live theatre, and unbelievable shopping attracts thousands of visitors each year. Contact us for more details on the Sohier cottage and availability. Whatever you decide to do, enjoy our comfortable cottage as your home base. We will do our absolute best to ensure you love your time here and want to come back year after year.
