Great location and great property. Rooms clean, all amenities as described. Loved the quiet street and scenic trail nearby to the Wiggly Bridge Reserve and Fisherman's Walk. Ice cream and bagel shop also just a short walk away! Short drive to beaches made it convenient for all activities during the week.

We rented this house so that my 4 daugthers, 2 son in laws, and grandson could all stay together with us for Thanksgiving week. The house was perfect for the occasion and it is in a great location. It is easy to get to the grocery store, bagel shop, restaurants etc. and I especially loved how close it was to York Harbor and Fishermans Walk and Cliff Walk.
Maurice was super responsive and helpful during the planning stages and while we were there as well.

What a beautiful home in a perfect location. This house was more than met all our wants and needs...clean, spacious and homey. During the day we (5 sisters) shopped, walked to Wiggly Bridge, hiked the cliffs, walked the beaches and even caught a musical at Ogunquit Playhouse. In the evenings, we cooked, played games and just enjoyed relaxing in this quaint neighborhood.
This house and its location has something for everyone.

When I searched for a place to stay for a family wedding in South Berwick, I could not have found a more perfect house. It checked all of the boxes: impeccably clean, roomy, fully stocked kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, comfortable beds with crisp sheets and plenty of towels and a lovely enclosed porch, among other amenities. It had everything we needed and more. The day of our arrival, a severe storm rolled through York, causing power outages to many in the area, including our rental. Our host, Maurice, contacted me immediately to let me know that the power crews were working to restore power. It was still out when we arrived, so we headed to town to the Fat Tomato for takeout(delicious!). We dined in the dark on the front porch during which time the power was finally restored with Maurice keeping me updated. What a pleasure it was to have Maurice for our host, so accommodating and extremely quick to return all of my texts. Dinner at the Sundrop the next night was a pleasant surprise with a 3 piece band, the owner waiting on us while his wife was our chef; a unique menu with locally sourced foods that was absolutely delicious and very memorable!
If we were ever to return to the area, I wouldn't hesitate to re-book with Maurice, a great host, a great house and convenient to everything! Thank you, Maurice!

Blissful Days
Our two weeks at this property were truly blissful. With Wiggly Bridge and Fisherman’s Walk just short walks away, we were surrounded by gorgeous views of the harbor and tidal river. The beautiful nearby beach is also walkable, but the 2-minute drive is more practical with beach gear. The house itself was very accommodating, clean and neat and well stocked for cooking/dining in. Beds were comfortable and towels were abundant. The backyard was perfect for wiffle ball games with our little guests! The house is ideal for families, offering easy access to York and surroundings and comfortable surroundings for relaxing at home. Maurice, the owner, is accessible and personable and responds quickly and efficiently to requests and questions. This house was a great find and has provided us with many wonderful memories!

We cannot thank him enough for the use of his cottage and his outstanding correspondence with us leading up to our stay.

Peaceful oasis
Amazing... Relaxing... Tranquil...
We loved it-super quiet, and in an amazing location for walks and general access to retail, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Lovely neighborhood, lovely home-multiple areas to be, so if one wants to watch TV, or take a snooze, the other(s) can be comfortable and happy in another part of the house. We will definitely be back!
