Enjoy all that Maine's South Coast has to offer while you stay in charming 'Salt & Light' cottage located at the beginning of the Nubble. It is just minutes from Long and Short Sands Beaches, Ellis Park gazebo concerts, playground overlooking the ocean and quaint York Beach Center & Zoo (all less than a 10 min walk). Three bedrooms include 2 with queens and one with 2 twins, all have blackout curtains. There are 1.5 bathrooms plus an outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off sandy bodies and feet.

The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a 5-burner gas range, a beverage fridge, and an air fryer oven. This home has hardwood floors throughout (except Master has a wool carpet), lots of light, wonderful ocean breezes, and is meticulously maintained.

The beautifully landscaped yard has a deck with a dining table (6 chairs) and the patio is furnished with comfortable patio furniture, there is a pop-up canopy for shade, a gas grill, and a cozy fire pit (wood can be bought at Hannaford's, Anthony's, or in the town).

Linens are provided and include bath towels, beach towels, sheets, bath mats, and dish towels.

Beach chairs and a beach buggy are provided in the gray resin shed next to the wood one in the backyard.

The house is rented on a weekly basis during the summer, (Saturday to Saturday, with a couple of exceptions, see calendar), and 3+ nights in the low season. We do not allow pets, smoking of any kind, or parties.

'Foodies' will enjoy being a 15-minute drive to the famous and delicious restaurants in Ogunquit/Perkin's Cove/Cape Neddick. Make your reservations early! York is also the headquarters of 'Stonewall Kitchen' which offers fun cooking classes, shopping, and a café.

Kids will enjoy watching saltwater taffy being made at Goldenrod's Kisses and all will enjoy delicious Maine lobster and seafood at the many area restaurants. Take a scenic walk around the Nubble and enjoy Dunne's ice cream.

Outlet shopping is 20 minutes south on Rt. 1 in Kittery and antiquing is in Cape Neddick on Route 1 North. Essex, MA, the antiquing capital of the East Coast, is also only 50 minutes away. Essex is also the home of 'Woodman's' where the fried clam was created. They are the best and gluten-free.

Drive up scenic Rt. 1A to view Maine's majestic coast, tour historic Portsmouth, NH, take a day trip to Boston, feed animals at York's Wild Animal Kingdom, take an early morning run along Long Sands Beach, enjoy an evening concert at the Ellis Park Gazebo, attend a play at the Ogunquit Play House, walk along York Harbor's Cliff Walk or Ogunquit's Marginal Way or relax on the beach or in the back yard - Salt & Light provides the perfect vacation for your family & friends.

    We had a wonderful stay. The house has a nice layout and is in a great location. We also loved the yard and outdoor shower.

    We had a great week-long stay at this beautiful home. The location was extremely convenient as it was within walking distance to both long and short sands. The home had everything we could ask for, and then some. Tons of kitchen and grilling utensils! The chairs and beach buggy were super helpful in the shed. We loved enjoying coffee under the umbrella on the deck or sitting under the canopy on the patio. Communication with the host was spotty until we exchanged phone numbers, which was great. The only odd thing was when using the outdoor shower, we noticed the neighbors sitting on the deck next to us. It was a little odd that we could make direct eye contact with them as they were not too far away. Besides that, our stay was great!

    We loved our week at the Nubble Cottage. The house has beautiful gardens and a wonderful back yard with three seating areas including a fire pit. Very comfortable and private. The location was very convenient close to both long and short beaches as well as an easy drive to Rte 1 and attractions. Bonnie is terrific!

    This comfortable, private home was just perfect for our mothers’ and daughters’ weekend away. The outside sitting area choices were perfect for reconnecting throughout the day and the kitchen and living room were just right for playing games in the evening. We all agreed it was just what we needed to feel refreshed and reconnected.

    This home was more than I could have ever expected!! Extremely comfortable and quaint inside. Very clean bathroom, which is an indicator of how clean this home was throughout. The host, Bonnie was extremely courteous and took great strides to make this home comfortable; she was also very responsive when I reached out to her. Also, very close to beaches! There is no doubt I would rent this property again. Thank you Bonnie!!

    This property has everything a family needs. It’s in a prime spot within walking distance to both Long and short Sands beaches. Beds are comfortable and all amenities listed are perfect. Bonnie is very responsive to questions and very helpful. Being from York originally, I feel very confident that anyone will be happy with this property. Looking forward to our visit next year. ??
