We loved this cottage nestled on a quiet side street near Nubble Light House. It was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could want. The large wraparound porch was the perfect location for your morning coffee and we took advantage of its close vicinity to Short Sands by taking several long walks. It was the perfect family vacation at the beach!

The house actually looked better in person then in the listing— and the listing was attractive! The home was well stocked, it had everything six people would need to spend the day at the beach, and then some. The hosts were amazing. Their communication was timely. Living next door, they were friendly, yet gave us space. We have tried several options over the years for our annual YB vacation and believe we have found “the one”. We will definitely be repeat guests at the Blue Hydrangea!!

We had a wonderful stay in this home. Jen was a gracious host and was nearby if we needed anything. We spent a few days on short sands, which was easily walkable with two small kids. Drove to long sands (had to download an app for parking, and get there early if you plan to spend the day). The only thing I wish this house had available is laundry, but we knew about it in advance and packed accordingly. The street is quiet and private, and the neighbors were all very friendly. We hope to come back someday!

This is our 3rd time staying at this property with our family! First off, the house is pristine- the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. This is an older home with lots of character but updated amenities. The owners live next door and are very communicative and helpful. The house is 5+ minute walk to Short Sands and town with the most beautiful walk. We are always sad to leave!

This was our second time staying at this location and we absolutely love it. It is everything as advertised, is immaculate, and was very comfortable for 5 adults. We love the location with easy access to town and appreciate Jen’s hospitality. We are already hoping to stay here again for our next family reunion in two years.

This home is beautiful! There was plenty of room, and everything we could need in the kitchen. Reading on the shaded porch or sunning in the backyard- all relaxing! The house is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but right in the middle of everything! Long Sands to the right, Short Sands to the left, and the Nubble Light at the top! Had a relaxing time!

This was the first time visiting Maine and the surrounding area for most of the family and we had a blast. The house is exactly as is depicted in the description and is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. It is an easy walk to the Nubble Lighthouse and to Short Sands Beach, which we did almost daily. There are shop’s, restaurants and ice cream within walking distance. The area is great for checking out nearby villages, towns and cities like Portland, Portsmouth NH, York, Kittery, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport. There are also great places nearby to enjoy nature and bird watching. The owners are friendly and attentive. They are easy to talk to and along with the friendly neighbors, you’ll feel right at home when staying at this property. We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves anymore if we had tried.

Jennifer is a wonderful host. The home was in the perfect location and was exactly as advertised. In fact, I think the home is actually better than the pictures. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a Maine getaway

10.0 / 10.0
The rental house was perfect for our family; including two college aged “kids”.
The location and neighborhood was perfect; quiet with delightful neighbors but also close to beaches, beautiful walks and short sands just a short walk away.
The property was extremely clean, updated and well maintained. We spent lots of time on the front and side porches in the early am.
We had a small hiccup with an early am
visit by a technician to service the AC. Not the owners fault and they went above and beyond to apologize, including the prompt delivery of a nice bottle of wine. Clearly these are owners that care that their renters enjoy their time at the cottage.
We will be returning!!

Just Beautiful!
Our stay was just wonderful! The house was immaculately cleaned and ready on time. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and for the beach. You could walk to the beach, the Nubble Lighthouse and some amazing lobster and ice cream! Our hosts were so welcoming, and the neighbors on this quiet street were friendly too! I highly recommend this property!

Charming!
Quintessential New England cottage, pictures don’t quite capture it’s charm. I stayed with my husband and two small children and we enjoyed coming back to this lovely, clean, and well stocked house after a long day at the beach. Great location, friendly neighbors, responsive owners, we will definitely book again!

Relaxing
Great place to stay with kids, tweens, teens, quick walk to short and long sands beach. Lots to do at both locations. Owners and neighbors are gems, friendly and helpful. The house is exactly like the pictures, impeccably clean and comfortable. My teen and tween said they want to come back next year. We had a blast.

Plus and Minus
While the property is clean and the location is good (for what we wanted to do) the listing should make note that no linens are provided and that there is no washer or drier. Having to bring our own bed linens and personal towels when flying to Maine makes packing more difficult

Great vacation home for a family
Very clean and beautifully updated home. Not much closet space but each bedroom had dressers for clothing. Great bathrooms with excellent showers. We will be back!

The Perfect Cottage!
We could not have been more impressed by this lovely cottage and our communications with Charlene, the property manager. The cottage was pristine--absolutely clean and freshly decorated. The location is on a lovely quiet side street that is a 10-15 minute walk to Short Sands beach. Our party of 3 (2 adults and 1 child) really enjoyed stayed here.

Great week at the beach!
We had a wonderful week on Sunset Rd. The home was spotless, and so comfortable! We loved cooking in the beautiful kitchen and having morning coffee on the porch before walking to Short Sands Beach. Everything was perfect, thank you to Jen for being such a great hostess!

Perfect getaway
This York home captures the original historic charm of the house with all the upgrades. We stayed for a week with our 2 year old. I was a bit nervous about the white couches but it all worked out. The gates on the deck are very helpful for a toddler! Location wise, this is a perfect spot to walk to Short Sands, downtown, or Nubble. We met the owner Jen and she was so friendly and accommodating. We would definitely rent again!

A magical place
As Texans, we did not know what to expect for our first trip to Maine. From the minute we pulled onto the road to the Cottage we felt welcomed — by neighbors who have a family legacy of vacationing in Maine. It’s the perfect spot to walk to the lighthouse, the beaches in York, and to drive a short bit to Ogunquit and Kennebunkport. The cottage was better than the pictures and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Our girls loved walking to Short Sands Beach area to experience a slice of Americana. We hope this is the first of many trips to Maine. Thank you!

Delightful time visiting southern Maine. York beach is a great village and central location to explore from. The house is charming, and very comfortable. Charlene handled the arrangements and management details perfectly. We will come back! Thank you.

Wonderful beach cottage!!
This is a wonderful place to stay in York. The cottage is a short walk to the beach, stores, food and fun!! Everything was clean and nicely remodeled. The open concept worked great for my family. The porch has locking gates which was a huge plus for my son who turned 1 while we were there. The backyard was just big enough to sit and relax with everyone. The neighbors are very friendly and was nice to know we could contact Charlene if we had any questions or concerns! Overall a great vacation and a wonderful cottage. We will be returning for sure!!
