Cozy cottage close to Long Sands Beach! Perfect for a small group. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front deck taking in the salty breeze. BBQ on the back deck after a long day at the beach!  The kids will enjoy the yard space while you enjoy the convenience of preparing dinner with the outdoor gas grill. Easy single floor living, perfect for a small family. Rustic style cottages with modern amenities to make for a relaxed and comfortable week (or two!) at the seacoast, reminiscent of the way life used to be or as we say in Maine, the way life should be. Located in walking distance to Long Sands Beach, this charming cottage provides a rare opportunity for the perfect vacation in Maine.

Of course Short Sands Beach just down the street, the perfect little sandy beach, but also has a large modern playground, penny candy, casual and fine dining options and of course, ice cream shops! York Beach is unique in that it offers entertainment for the family that will remind you of yesteryear. York's Wild Kingdom is a small amusement park with a very nice zoo. We have our gazebo near the ocean where you can listen to live music many nights a week plus arcades and bowling. For those of us looking for more mature amusement, there are a few nicely appointed bars within an easy walk where you can sit outside and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage while enjoying the sights and sounds of our beachside town. If you do want some day trip excursions, there is so much to do in our area! Here are some great ideas for family fun: Whale Watching out of York Harbor or Perkins Cove, day trip to Ogunquit to enjoy that 5 mile sandy beach plus great restaurants and shopping or play at one of two public golf courses in York. York Village is robust with colonial history featuring historic museums where you can travel back in time. Perhaps you might enjoy fresh or salt water fishing. There are locals here who will offer deep water fishing or guided kayak excursions. There is scuba diving, tennis courts, paddle boarding and so much more! The Cliff House, located on Shore Road between York and Ogunquit, is a world wide destination with a dramatic $100 million renovation that was recently completed in 2016. Enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or indulge in their gourmet dining. Perhaps live theatre is something you would love to enjoy on your vacation...well, we have it! Check out the Ogunquit Playhouse where nationally known stars are known to perform throughout the summer. Portsmouth, NH (just over the border and about 10 minutes away) also has fine live theatre at the Music Hall. Speaking of Portsmouth, let's not forget this wonderful small city. Always known for being a unique seaside port town, a resurgence has occurred over the last decade making this city a nationally recognized destination vacation spot on its own. Fine dining, live theatre, and unbelievable shopping attracts thousands of visitors each year.

    My family and I go to York for a long weekend every year end of August for my sons birthday and this was our favorite place we've stayed so far! We love long sands and it was a quick walk through a path to get there and brings you right to the middle of the beach with the bath house is. The place was also much bigger than we thought from pictures. My son loved playing on the 3 season porch and we spent alot of time on the deck. We couldnt figure out the TV, but honestly didnt even reach out to ask because we didnt need it that bad. Shower was a small stand up, while small, totally fine for a weekend. Fridge was a great size. Walked in and felt it was very clean. Would highly recommend !

    The property was a 5 min walk to the beach which was great! The porch is a great spot to sit in the evening. The housekeeping was less than desired. There was a shirt on the floor in the bunk room as well as a fake fingernail. The mirror was dirty and there were cob webs everywhere in that room. It smelled musty. The rugs likely are the culprit. The living room furniture is not comfortable enough to sit out there. I think it would be very hard for 7 adults to be in that house as it smaller than it appears online I would say 3-4 adults max. The outside shower was a dream after coming back from the beach’s the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need. There is a shed with all sorts of beach stuff if you need anything like chairs or even a cart to pull all your stuff down to the beach. The neighborhood is great and quiet. All in all we had an amazing time and would stay again.

    We had a great time. The house was very cute and close to the beach. We were confused with the check out process, it mentioned mopping the floors, there were no supplies to do this. We did vacuum even though it didn't mention it in the house binder. There is no space to store items in the cabinets, we had to move stuff around just to fit our snacks and kitchen items we brought to use for the week so we didn't have to store them on the kitchen table. There are way too many pots and pans and coffee mugs. The AC worked great, fans could have been better in the rooms. Plenty of hot water for everyone to shower with.

    The cottage was the perfect size for our family and had a great location. We were able to walk to the beach every day and take a short drive into town when we went. It's in a quiet family friendly neighborhood. Check in and check out process coud not have been easier. We will be coming back :)
