Coastal Charm Awaits: Your Perfect Seaside Getaway - Walk to York Harbor Beach!

Our children were looking for a place to celebrate our 50 th Anniversary, that we all could stay for a long weekend. They found this house and it was great! The host Mark was fantastic. Mark found out it was our 50 th anniversary and when we opened the door there was two bottles of sparkling cider and a very nice card waiting for us, he also had a welcome basket with all kinds of little snacks from Maine! The house was very organized and very clean! You will not find a better place to rent! Thanks Mark!

Host was very responsive and property was exactly as advertised. We rented for a family reunion and it was perfect!

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay or better host! Everything was perfect!

I do not have enough kind words to say about Mark and the team at Whiting Cottage. He was the most amazing host: communicative, friendly, and helpful! He truly went above and beyond. The property was equally as incredible. It was clean, had everything you needed for a beach weekend and family gathering, and was so spacious that each family we were with had their own room. This was particularly helpful for those of us traveling with babies who used the rooms with the kitchenettes to make and store bottles, etc. We absolutely loved our stay at the Whiting Cottage and hope to visit again soon!!

Gorgeous, spacious property with an amazing, gracious and generous owner. This was a memorable experience and we can't wait to come back!

Our group could not get over the attention to detail and the extra care the owners have taken to make our stay exceptional. Gorgeous old home in a great location.

Our crew of 21 (8 adults and 13 kids) have been coming to York for 4 years. This year we needed to find a bigger space and this house couldn’t have been more perfect for our FRamily. Before I get to the details of the home itself, I have to take a moment to commend Mark on being such an amazing host! He truly went above and beyond to make our week special. The house is perfect for large groups. We have 4 separate families in our group so having the space to spread out is nice- but also come together for meals, movies, games, hangouts, etc is awesome. We already booked to come back next summer- can’t wait to continue making memories at this beautiful home.

Our extended family spanning three generations thoroughly enjoyed the annual reunion. A major contributing factor was Mark's warm and generous hospitality. From prebooking to throughout our weeklong stay, he was kind, responsive and more than accommodating. The home itself met our needs and preferences so well. We especially appreciated that we could convene as a group in numerous parts of the house, but also enjoy privacy and quiet moments when desired.Of all the vacation home rentals we've been in over the years, the Whiting Cottage's kitchen was the most well stocked we've seen. The gift basket and fresh flowers were welcoming bonuses greeting us upon arrival. A culinary highlight of the week was the lobster meal including lobster bisque from Southern Maine Lobster Company. The York location was perfectly suited for visiting Coastal Maine.Thank you, Kinton family, for sharing your amazingly lovely home. We cherish the wonderful memories that were created during our stay.

It is usually location .. location … location … but this host and home are the best. To say the house is a “rambler” understates it. This is a large beautifully detailed house. We were a 50th Reunion of men from U Maine. Playing golf, cook outs and stories. The house: A main kitchen … which become the gathering spot however several rooms have mini kitchenettes. If someone wants some privacy… you have it. Mark, our host and his family goes above and beyond. From lobster recommendations (they are so fresh !!!!). To making sure every need was met. The location is central to everything. If I could give SIX stars I would gladly do so. Mark many thanks!! OFS U Maine 1975

This property was even better than we imagined! It was so clean, the owners were amazing, very communicative and helpful:) We all had our own space so we could take private moments as well as bond and congregate in the main living room/kitchen/dining areas/porches etc. The house is also very conveniently located. We had such a blast that we all agreed we may have to stay here again soon:)
