Cottage has upper wrap around porch deck to sit outdoors and relax in the salt air. Bathrooms on both floors. First floor small kitchen, living room with three season porch. Spiral staircase to second floor living and master bedroom and livingroom with access to upper deck. Side walks make a stroll to Long Sands beach or bike ride easy or cut through Bay View Rd and cross the quaint wooden bridge to the ocean. Head to Short Sands to visit Golden Rod Restaurant to watch the famous salt water taffy be pulled or Yorks Wild Animal Kingdom with the amusement park section that is open and walkable and the Zoo can be accessed w/tickets. Grab a drink and dinner at the deck at Stones Throw on Long Sands and drive out to the Nubble Light House to have ice cream at Dunnes. Sand Dollar and Inn on the Blues have great live entertainment. So much to do! York Beach is old school New England beach town great for families. The park at Short Sands has slides, swings, slides and a gazebo with weekly free night concerts. Bowlarama has old school arcades and candlepin bowling. Get some fudge at Sweet Josie's and buy some cool York jewelry at Bill-n-Bobs or more upscale beachwear at Wheat Boutique. Take a ride out to Oqunquit for a faster night life scene or to see a show at the Playhouse. Perfect for a family of 4 or 2 couples who want their privacy. Sleep a few extra on the futon on pull out couch. Sleeps up to 6 if you use the both the pull out couch downstairs & fouton to sleep 2, otherwise there are 2 twin beds downstairs and one queen bed upstairs that sleeps 4 total. Note spiral staircase can be tricky to navigate for toddlers, elderly or folks with mobility issues-- also large suitcases are tough to manage to the second floor. This is a really cute place that has a great location with tons of fun stuff to do!

Congenial hosts. Older cottage, close to beach. Two bathrooms a plus.

Cute beach-themed cottage with close proximity to the beach. While the location was central and the cottage itself charming, we did encounter a few issues. During our stay, we noticed the presence of several mice and an ant mound in the cottage, which required some extra cleaning on our part.

First waking in it looks clean at a glance. There were spiders and cobwebs in every corner of the house. I wiped them out of the bathrooms each day so as not to take showers with spiders and ants. Cobwebs were everywhere all up the stairs and throughout the house. Aunts were crawling on the walls and on us as we sat down and slept. Stains on the carpet were throughout the house too. We had to supply towel and sheets for the three beds. Who travels with bedding? It's probably a good thing as the blankets were so badly stained, yellow and brown spots that our kids refused to use them. The pillow that I was to use had so many stains on it i slept without one. The place needs a major cleaning. To be honest we didn't even want to eat there because of all the spiders and ants. Every night we searched the walls, ceiling and beds to eliminate spiders and ants before we went to bed. I still woke up with ants anyway. Did not expect a five-star place, but it should have been cleaned better.

We had to walk through wet grass to get to the door. Lawn was not mowed. The overall cleanliness was poor. Cobwebs in closets, rugs desperately need cleaning and the upstairs refrigerator was disgusting. The beds were comfortable but we were happy to be sleeping on our own sheets. The bathrooms were clean but the coat of fresh paint would do wonders for the place. Even the threshold walking in was filthy. The deck was needing some tlc. The downstairs is very dark and could use more lights. Potentially it could be a very cute place. We would not go back.

The house was quiet and peaceful on a quiet road within walking distance to York Beach. The beds were comfortable. Check in was easy. On July 4th all up and down York Beach people were lighting off fireworks. It was beautiful. The house is close to Portsmouth, N.H. so we spent a couple of days visiting that beautiful city. It was a lovely way to spend our vacation.

Very classic feeling beach house. We loved the deck that wraps the second floor for morning coffees and night time cocktails. It was very quiet and peaceful which was very important to us. The 2 bathrooms is a huge plus and the kitchen had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for my family and i would certainly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great vacation in the York Beach area.

The location was great. The whole house wasn't easily accessible. The spiral staircase to the second floor was not very convenient and we ended up using only the first floor. Two twin beds, sleeping separately.

Private, quiet cozy beach cottage that oozes with charm. Short walk to least crowded end of the beach. We fell in love with the area and would not hesitate to stay here again! Only negative is that we had no cell service (Verizon & AT&T) at the house or York Beach ...which maybe normal for the area. We just drove to the main road near grocer Hannaford for service. House does have WIFI.

We had a wonderful time at this property - everything about it suited our needs. Great communication with the hosts throughout. Good location - for the beach - and the AC during a few hot days was a lifesaver!

We had a wonderful week at this cute little beach house. It’s a easy walk to the ocean and the owner was very helpful. She gave us lots of good tips on things to do in the area. I would definitely like to come back some day. 😊

My daughter and family said they loved the cottage. It was off the main road yet quite close to long sands. Everything g but the refrig upstairs worked out well. It was a bonus to have the air conditioning during such a hot spell.

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It is very small so more than 4, even though there is sleeping for 6, would be far too crowded. There are sweet beach touches around the house, the washer/dryer was very handy, the porch is sweet, the location perfect for walking to beach and short drives to any where. Considering our current virus situation, I was a little disappointed in the overall cleanliness of the house but maybe I am being overly-sensitive to that. There was some food left in the sink and not all the surfaces were clean. As the week went on, we noticed that it seemed that deep cleaning hadn't been done in a while, including the rug upstairs. In a different time, it may not have mattered as much to us but given today's environment we were a little disappointed in that aspect. Overall, it was a very nice experience and we enjoyed staying there. The owners were very responsive to my emails while setting up the trip. Very quiet neighborhood. As an aside, the cell reception was terrible but that is not in any way the owners fault, the cable TV and wifi worked great.

House was just what we were looking for to spend July 4th week up at York. The house was very clean and it was a huge benefit to have a small washer and dryer to use through out are stay. Nicole was very helpful from the time we booked to accidentally breaking the dining room table. ( Sorry again!). I would recommend this house if your kids are teenagers. (Only because of the spiral staircase)..
