This cottage was exceptionally clean and had many amenities! It was quiet and relaxing! It worked out great because we could walk to my sister’s house! We also enjoyed going to Pebbly Beach!
My mom, sister and I planned a trip for my sister's birthday and feel so lucky that we found this cottage on vrbo. The location is in a lovely and quiet neighborhood, but is walkable to town reataurants, shops, and activities, and to the sandy beach. The cottage is clean and cozy and charming, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well appointed with everything you need for an extended stay. Nearby there is a rocky beach that is such a nice, quiet spot to drink coffee and watch the sunrise. Marion and Gary are the nicest people you could ever hope to rent from. We are so grateful for our stay and sad it had to end.
Our stay here was delightful. Marion and Gary were fantastic hosts! This location is walking distance to Short Sands and a short 2 minute ride to Long sands and to Nubble lighthouse made this location perfect. House amenities were fabulous and property looked great and very clean. Will be back for sure!
Exactly as advertised
Absolutely perfect for me and my daughters and our dog. Space was perfect, charming, great location and the owner was great with communication. This place will definitely be on my list of regular spots. LOVED it.
This cottage is charming, and had plenty of space for our family of four. The kids room was fun, kitchen had everything we needed, and the host was quick to help when we couldn’t figure out the air conditioning. The Rocky beach was beautiful and secluded- a quick two minute walk, and shorts sands was a quick, quiet 15 minute walk- where’s our extended family was staying. Thanks for letting us stay!
Memories cottage is a wonderful cottage close to everything yet in a quiet area. Communication with Marion, our host was exceptional. The cottage was spotless and had everything you could want in a cottage. We cooked many meals, had laundry, outdoor eating, indoor dining, etc. The path to the stony beach was wonderful. Hearing the waves at night was just perfect. We will absolutely be staying here again.
This is our 2nd year staying at Memories with our dog Little Chester. It was great! Cottage is very clean and well kept. Owner & daughter were both very responsive to my questions. Location is quiet and close to ocean - you can hear it inside! We LOVE this little home. Thank you again Tilton Family. Chuck, Angela & Little Chester Gomes, Western MA
This adorable cottage is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to a little rocky Maine beach with tide pools to explore. It is a great spot for a nice getaway yet still close to the many nice restaurants and shops in the Yorks and several cute towns nearby, all within within easy driving distance. And of course Nubble light is a must see. The quaint cottage reflects its knotty pine roots and beach theme. Yet it has a nicely equipped modern kitchen and adorable outside seating areas. If you are looking for a beach cottage, this is it. Our hosts were marvelous, communicative, and easy to interact with. “Memories” was a great experience overall. We will certainly return.
We arrived just after Labor Day. The cute cottage was as depicted, clean, everything you need (except linens!) to be comfortable and in a great neighborhood. The rocky beach is a short walk from the cottage and Short Sands beach is an easy 10 minute walk. We walked into the cottage and were greeted with a lovely vase of fresh hydrangeas. Marion was very gracious and checked in with us a couple of times while we were there. We enjoyed our stay immensely and hopefully we can return next year.
This was a fantastic getaway. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Place was clean and short distance from everywhere. Worked out perfect. Would highly recommend.
The owners were wonderful, always responsive, and happy to help with any questions. The property is cute and clean and the location is great; quiet pretty street, easy access to Short Sands.
Everything went smooth no issues
We loved our stay here. It worked out perfectly for us people and our 2 year old Malinois. Close to sea and shops. Comfortable and clean. Great communication with host Marion. Can't wait to stay here again!
This property is very cute and just a short walk to Short Sands beach for swimming and a small private neighborhood beach for exploring. Our family of 4 had plenty of room and had a great time! The only issue I would say we had was the internet seemed slow and wouldn't always connect. But the teens survived :)
We stayed for a long weekend and this cottage was wonderful! Pictures are 100% accurate. VERY clean. Quiet area. Walk across the street to rocky shore area -- 5-minute drive to town. WE LOVED OUR STAY and would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Tilton Family for having us as your guests. Paws up from Little Chester too!! Ang & Chuck
An outstanding cottage that has everything you need, located in a fantastic spot on the Maine Coast. We loved our stay. Marion was the best host we’ve had renting a vacation stay like this.
We had a wonderful time! Marion was very helpful during our stay! Would definitely come back!
