Peaceful York Beach Cottage: Private Cul-de-Sac, Nature Views, Minutes to Shore

Great home, location and host

The house and yard were quiet and beautiful! Close walk to the beach with perfect weather and accommodations. We would definitely stay again!

The property was just as described. There’s a large backyard with a new deck. We brought our two dogs and they had the best time running around. It’s quiet because it’s at the end of a cul de sac. If there’s children in your party, they would have plenty of room to play. Inside the house, there’s plenty of space to move around in. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need. All in all, we would stay here again!

It was nice. About 15 min walk to the beach. Nice quaint house.

We just finished a four day holiday at this lovely home. This was our second year there - we came back because we know the home so well, and it’s location so close to the beach. For my wife and I and two adult children it’s perfect: clean, comfortable, well equipped kitchen for our home chefs and an unbelievable deck and backyard. I expect we’ll be going back in 2025.

This was a perfect home base for our weekend in York. It’s small but perfectly suitable for our family of 4 plus two dogs. A great backyard, a nice quiet street, and close to so much that York has to offer. We had a couple of “out of anyone’s control” things happen during our stay and the host was responsive and they got taken care of. Things to know: We did not have service at the house (Verizon.) This is the case for a lot of York. Once we were connected to the WiFi it wasn’t a problem, but when I first got to the house I couldn’t pull up the email with the check in details with the door code. So I had to drive until I got service, download the instructions, then go back to the house. So save those instructions ahead of time to save yourself the trouble :) Dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture. Not a huge deal for us, but the kind of thing I appreciate knowing before booking. We would’ve booked anyway and would happily again, but I know that’s not true for everyone. We’ll look for this place first for any future stays in York.

It’s my secret getaway! Convenient to everything I want to do and has everything I need to be comfortable w my dog. Sarah’s place in incredibly welcoming and where I’ll be headed back to many more times provided the schedule of a tired teacher! Thank you once again for everything. I don’t want to stay anywhere else.

Set at the end of a lazy, family safe cul-de-sac minutes from “downtown” York Harbor the cottage has all the conveniences of home (TV/WiFI/Internet, W/D, microwave, full kitchen) with outdoor shower, sunny deck, grill and beach toys. Awaken to an Audubon paradise, we saw three white tail deer in the back yard.

The house itself is nice, clean, comfortable. I can't say its within walking distance of the beach (I clocked it at 7/10 of a mile) or anything else. Disappointing for us was a property across the street was having major work done. So there was heavy equipment and trucks and noise and tar smell. Equipment and trucks blocked access to the driveway. Very unpleasant. Presumably the construction will end someday but was in full swing while we were there (September 2023). Very disappointing.

This is a pet-friendly residence within a good walk or short drive to Long Sands Beach. We had everything we needed and liked the cleanliness and amenities very much.
