This comfortable, private home was just perfect for our mothers’ and daughters’ weekend away. The outside sitting area choices were perfect for reconnecting throughout the day and the kitchen and living room were just right for playing games in the evening. We all agreed it was just what we needed to feel refreshed and reconnected.

This home was more than I could have ever expected!! Extremely comfortable and quaint inside. Very clean bathroom, which is an indicator of how clean this home was throughout. The host, Bonnie was extremely courteous and took great strides to make this home comfortable; she was also very responsive when I reached out to her. Also, very close to beaches! There is no doubt I would rent this property again. Thank you Bonnie!!

Bonnie is very responsive to questions and very helpful. Being from York originally, I feel very confident that anyone will be happy with this property. Looking forward to our visit next year. 😉🌞 Sandy Woods

We had a short vacation with 4 adults and 2 yr. Old twins. The host was responsive, polite and attentive. The house was just as described, we spend lots of time on the deck and the kids had enough space in the yard to run around! Great place that we would love to visit again!

This place was perfect for our first stay in york, me. It fit us wonderfully and had everything we needed. It was just far enough away but also super close to both beaches. Clean and fully stocked.
Owner was quick to respond to any questions. If my family didn't just grow by 2 more feet this week.. we would def stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay in Maine very much. The house was very clean and well equipped. We were a little disappointed that there was no dining room and the kitchen got very hot even with a ceiling fan. We were lucky with the weather and we were able to eat our meals on the back deck in the lovely garden. Overall, it was a great stay.

Bright, beautiful stay!
We loved staying here for the second time! The property is just as bright and spacious as before. The landscaping and patio updates are lovely and made for fantastic al fresco dinners. Our 6 year old son and 2 year old toddler also enjoyed the space - and the red wagon was such a help on our walks to the beach. Although it was hot the week we went, the house is very well ventilated and we barely had to use air conditioning (but when we did it was nice and chilly!). And one night we had a fire in the Solo stove and s’mores with the kids; our son said that it was the best night of the summer. This is a fantastic location - so close to the beach and also, tucked into a peaceful, pretty neighborhood. Perfect for a family getaway!

Salt & Light Cottage Stay York, ME
Check in was very easy and the location was amazing. It was great to be within walking distance of the beach and other places like the Nubble lighthouse. Our host was very responsive and provided a lot of helpful information prior to our arrival. It was our first time in York and we will definitely like to return in the future.

Easy communication minor problems quickly addressed
Perfect location and size for our needs. Lots of amenities we hardly had the chance to use. We only ever showered outside! Minor issues were easy to communicate and addresses promptly. We would definitely re-book.

Location, comfort and joy!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Salt and Light cottage. Everything we’d want was within walking distance. The regular grocery was a few minute drive, but we had no problem with that- it was all about the walkable beach! We loved the outdoor space at the cottage and the outdoor shower for sand removal. Bonnie was very responsive during our stay, as there was a potential weather issue coming our way. You’ll be happy here for a weekend or a week!

We had a wonderful stay at Salt and Light Cottage. Bonnie was very quick to respond to our texts and to help out with any small problems we encountered.

Perfect location
This is a very cute house with all we needed as a family of 3. Great location, great deck, great kitchen in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to walk to both beaches and restaurants. We found the stay comfortable. They were very thoughtful to let us in a bit early when a storm rolled in for shelter from the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy cottage located on a quiet street a short walk to Short Sands beach, stores , restaurants and Long Sands beach. The home is also located not far from the Nubble Light House and Dunn’s ice cream.There are many restaurants in the area however, if you choose to cook at home the kitchen in this house is very well equipped.

Summer Family 2017 Getaway to York!
This home was very cute. It was very clean and the kitchen is fabulous. Bonnie is very nice to deal with. I had a few emails, and phone calls with Bonnie and she returned my emails and phone calls promptly. I would recommend this home as a beach rental in York. It is perfectly located to Short Sands Beach and as well to Long Sands. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location in a Beautiful House
My family and I loved the house. The location was perfect, right between long and short sands on a quite side street. The house was well kept with good size bedrooms and a beautiful kitchen with all the cookware provided. We spent several nights on the deck in the evening enjoying the ocean air. We also made alot use out of the well maintained grill, grilling up burgers, chicken, and pizzas. The only drawback to the house was no washer and dryer however a local laundromat provides full service cleaning and folding of your laundry so that you dont have to spend your vacation cleaning clothes. I would highly recommend this house to other interested families. The owner is always quick to answer any questions as well.

York Vacation Home
This was our third year at the 'Nubble Cottage' and we've never been disappointed. It's so easy to get down to either beach in York and a comfortable walk to Nubble Lighthouse. The cottage itself is equipped with everything you need and is quite comfortable. We love having our meals outside on the deck.

Enjoyable Family Vacation Rental
We had a great week vacationing at this home. It is located in a nice neighborhood and easily accessable
to both beaches and downtown. The home is small, yet feels spacious with the open vaulted kitchen. Plenty of room for our young adult children. The 1/2 bath is a plus! No washer and dryer was a little inconvenient, but not a problem. The yard and deck are nice and the patio area had very comfy seating!
The owner Bonnie was very easy to communicate with. We recommend this home for your vacation.

Wonderful Family Vacation
My family had a wonderful time vacationing here in York Beach, ME. The house is within walking distance of both beaches, restaurants, the zoo and the historic downtown of York. It has everything you need and more in the kitchen for cooking and entertaining and what a cool table! The house is updated and very clean. The backyard is spacious with lots of room for the kids to play outside and there is an outside dining area with a grill. We can't wait to go back!

Wonderful Vacation Home
We have stayed at Salt & Light each summer for the past few years and just love it. The location is excellent. You can walk to everything yet it is on a quiet street so you don't have to deal with beach traffic. The kitchen is wonderful to cook in (if you want to cook on vacation). We enjoyed grilling out and eating on the deck. It does not have laundry but we did not find this to be an issue since we were only there for a week and there is a laundromat very close by in the little town center. Our grandkids loved the back yard and being able to walk easily to the beach.
