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.
