Welcome to heaven! Our cottage sits on a private beach on Skipper's Bay at the end of a private road. While the rest of York is booming with activity, you can relax and even swim in the private bay. We invite you to spend some quality time in our other home away from home. The town of York is a lovely and inviting place to relax and take a deep breath. Experience a New England beach town at its finest. Enjoy local cuisine, visit Nubble Lighthouse, travel Route 1 South to Portsmouth or Kittery, head north to Wells and Ogunquit or just stay put and enjoy the local attractions such as The Goldenrod, York's Wild Kingdom amusement park and zoo, Short, Sands and Long sands as well as lots of souvenir shops. We hope you love it here as much as we do!

*Important - for now, we require vacationers take their own trash and recyclables home with them.

Our Maine Attraction offers privacy, peace and quiet, the conveniences of home, and the most awesome views you've ever seen!

Our Maine Attraction has three bedrooms. One has two twin beds, one has a double bed, and one has a queen size bed. We supply the pillows and blankets. There is a full kitchen with dishes, silverware, cups, glasses, and pots and pans. There is also a fireplace (no fires please), an outdoor shower (April through October), a gas grill, a washer and dryer in the basement, WiFi, cable TV, a large ocean front deck, and four red Adirondack chairs by the ocean.

There are two public beaches close by. Short Sands Beach, walking distance from the house, is located in town. Long Sands Beach is less than a five minute ride.

The York Beach area provides many restaurants of all kinds as well as Hannaford's Market on Route 1 south.

The Kittery Shopping Outlets are just twenty minutes away.

There are several golf courses close by.

York Beach has an amusement park, as well as a zoo. Both are open seasonally.

    We had the best time ever staying here. Everything we wanted to do was so conveniently located that we could take off, jet back here to get comforts of home and then off to the next activity. The views and ambience were truly top notch. The outdoor shower was as good as it gets, amazing water temperature and pressure. We actually almost forgot our checkout date as we were getting so comfortable, and really were bummed out when we realized we could not stay just one more night! We could probably say that again and again about this home. A big thank you to Karen and her wonderful hospitality. Hope to stay again some day.

    Karen was like communicating with my own mom. Kind, caring, and helpful. This location felt like a home away from home and was so great for my two little kids who loved playing on the rocky beach, painting rocks and it was a quick 3 min drive to downtown and the beach if we wanted the sand. It was so gorgeous and peaceful and we can’t wait to be back! Thanks Karen for sharing your home with my little family for us to make memories.

    The interior of this lovely cottage, nestled in Cape Neddick, looks the way a cottage should. There’s just enough knotty pine to recall the charm of an earlier time and the expanse of eastern windows brings in the light of many a gorgeous sunrise over nearby ocean. It’s cozy and comfortable with a wonderful host. Makes for great southern Maine experience.

    My family enjoyed our weekend getaway at The Maine Attraction. There was clear communication as to what I needed to bring and what was at the house. It was easy to get in and everything was exactly as expected. What a special spot right on the beach my children really enjoyed!

    Beautiful view of the bay and lovely home! Karen was very helpful and we would love to come back next season. Walking distance to York beach and town was great -just a short walk and lots to do in the area within a short distance. Wonderful stay!

    Nice property, great location. the only issue was the construction on the neighboring property. The noise generally wasn't too bad but if they ramp up their work, there could be lots of noise.

    The cottage was sweet with a wonderful deck to enjoy the incredible view. Absolute peace, and quiet only a short walk or ride to short sands. Sitting out on the Adirondack chairs and watching the sunrise was so wonderful. And Karen was always quick to get back to us and she was so friendly. Will definitely stay again!

    This house has an amazing location-short walk to downtown York or to a beautiful beach up the road. Also a stunning beach steps from the house. We enjoyed our stay very much!

    We had an amazing stay at this perfectly tucked away beach house in Cape Neddick. The location can’t be beat, and Karen was a dream to communicate with. House rules and expectations are crystal clear, and the house is absolutely lovely, great for our family with young kids. Would happily stay there again, 10/10!
