About this house rental
Charming beach cottage located on large wooded property within 3/4 of a mile- walking distance from Long Sands. Get away from the hustle and bustle at the end of a dead end road. Hear the waves crashing and smell the sea breeze. We invite you and your family to relax and have a good time at our cozy beach cottage.
Well stocked with everything you need to cook, bake, or grill at home. Fridge, Stove (w/ convection oven!), and Washer/Dryer are brand new.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the property. Wake up to a morning cup of coffee on the back patio as the sun rises over the woods. The backyard is perfect for frisbee, lawn sports, playing in the sandbox with the kids, or having a BBQ out back with a firepit. Take a magical walk down the old York trolley track, surrounded by maple & oak trees as you make your way to the babbling brook at the end of the path. Nothing like an outdoor shower after a day at the beach!
Close to everything and walkable- Long Sands Beach, Nubble Lighthouse, Central Cafe, Village Scoop Ice Cream, Wiggley Bridge, York Hospital, and more.
Pets allowed - fees apply. 2 Pack N Play's and a high chair available. Wagon for walking to the beach. Beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and beach cruiser bike available for use.

The property was just as described. There’s a large backyard with a new deck. We brought our two dogs and they had the best time running around. It’s quiet because it’s at the end of a cul de sac. If there’s children in your party, they would have plenty of room to play. Inside the house, there’s plenty of space to move around in. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need. All in all, we would stay here again!

It was nice. About 15 min walk to the beach. Nice quaint house.

We just finished a four day holiday at this lovely home. This was our second year there - we came back because we know the home so well, and it’s location so close to the beach. For my wife and I and two adult children it’s perfect: clean, comfortable, well equipped kitchen for our home chefs and an unbelievable deck and backyard. I expect we’ll be going back in 2025.

This was a perfect home base for our weekend in York. It’s small but perfectly suitable for our family of 4 plus two dogs. A great backyard, a nice quiet street, and close to so much that York has to offer. We had a couple of “out of anyone’s control” things happen during our stay and the host was responsive and they got taken care of.
Things to know:
We did not have service at the house (Verizon.) This is the case for a lot of York. Once we were connected to the WiFi it wasn’t a problem, but when I first got to the house I couldn’t pull up the email with the check in details with the door code. So I had to drive until I got service, download the instructions, then go back to the house. So save those instructions ahead of time to save yourself the trouble :)
Dogs aren’t allowed on the furniture. Not a huge deal for us, but the kind of thing I appreciate knowing before booking. We would’ve booked anyway and would happily again, but I know that’s not true for everyone.
We’ll look for this place first for any future stays in York.

It’s my secret getaway! Convenient to everything I want to do and has everything I need to be comfortable w my dog. Sarah’s place in incredibly welcoming and where I’ll be headed back to many more times provided the schedule of a tired teacher! Thank you once again for everything. I don’t want to stay anywhere else.

Set at the end of a lazy, family safe cul-de-sac minutes from “downtown” York Harbor the cottage has all the conveniences of home (TV/WiFI/Internet, W/D, microwave, full kitchen) with outdoor shower, sunny deck, grill and beach toys. Awaken to an Audubon paradise, we saw three white tail deer in the back yard.

The house itself is nice, clean, comfortable.
I can't say its within walking distance of the beach (I clocked it at 7/10 of a mile) or anything else.
Disappointing for us was a property across the street was having major work done. So there was heavy equipment and trucks and noise and tar smell. Equipment and trucks blocked access to the driveway. Very unpleasant. Presumably the construction will end someday but was in full swing while we were there (September 2023). Very disappointing.

This is a pet-friendly residence within a good walk or short drive to Long Sands Beach. We had everything we needed and liked the cleanliness and amenities very much.

The house has all that a family of 3 to 6 needs for a relaxing holiday. The house is clean, comfortable and well-equipped for beachgoers, back yard BBQ's and children. The locale is quiet and easy to get around via car whereas many other places near Maine's Highway 1 are in permanent traffic jam! Access to the beach on foot or by car. The owner is very well prepared and maintains excellent, clear and precise communication. Our family spent a memorable holiday and we hope to return.

Everything about this place is just lovely and fitting for the person looking to be at a home away from home. The location to the beach, the serene setting, even the friendly neighbors make this an ideal location for a getaway. It’s comfortable, clean and incredibly private. Access to great food as well as the “got to get to”destinations in the southern coast of Maine is also a plus! Communication w Sarah is always immediate and responsive as well. Thank you again for being an incredible host for our vacation.

The four of us (parents and two adult children) rendezvoused at this Lobster Cove Cottage on Thursday for a truly wonderful weekend: on the beach, exploring Kittery and Portsmouth restaurants and cooking fabulous dinners. (Thanks, Mom!) The cottage was perfect for a family, VERY comfortable, well equipped kitchen, large backyard with table and chairs on a patio (where we had breakfast and dinner) and all SPOTLESS. Sarah was attentive to our needs and questions - perfect host! Hope to be back soon.

It was perfect for us. My son loved playing catch in the private backyard. We saw deer and many birds back there. Enjoyed lobsters and steak on the grill one night. House is very user friendly. Host is excellent.

I was looking for a peaceful getaway for my birthday and I found it in this wonderful cottage. On a dead end road but just minutes away from so much to do. I spent some wonderful mornings with my coffee out in the backyard.

This was our first time to York, and this property was ideal for us and our fur baby! The cottage sits at the end of a quiet street. The instructions for entering the cottage were easy to follow. The owner, Sarah, has stocked the kitchen with utensils, cookware, paper products, and dishes all of which were adequate for our stay. The cottage was very clean and inviting. We had one issue with the kitchen faucet. We alerted Sarah, and she was on it immediately. By day’s end, a new faucet had been installed. I would recommend this property for a quiet stay, close to York and surrounding points of interest.

Sarah was a pleasure to rent from. The listing was spot on, she gave helpful and relevant information about the home and area, and the home had everything we needed and then some. We had a wonderful time.

Autumn in Maine is beautiful and this property was exactly what we wanted. It was cozy, simple, charming, private and ideal for a quiet weekend away. We easily walked to the beach, dined in the local seafood scene, enjoyed morning coffee on the backyard patio and cooked meals in a well stocked kitchen. Our host was very welcoming and pleasant. Perfect spot for bringing our dogs too! Definitely would go back again. Thank you!
2.5 / 5.0
How can I begin to express the care and hospitality Sarah and her family offered us with this absolutely lovely property. Everything at our fingertips. As a dog owner I appreciated the understanding and acceptance of bringing my two “best friends”. Communication was excellent. Attention to questions were incredibly prompt and the cottage is just a dreamy getaway - beds were comfortable
Kitchen well stocked for cooking and the location was ideal! Thank you a million times! ❤️❤️❤️

I was the first renter to stay at this beautiful slice of heaven in York village and we could not have had a better time. The house was exactly as it was pictured it was clean it was safe it was on a beautiful dead end street that had no through traffic. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. I would definitely be coming back to this rental the host was amazing to deal with check in was easy. The backyard was big and shaded it was a great place to sit at the end of the day after being at the beach and just relax and listen to the birds it was so private and quiet. The walk to the beach is very easy we would use a wagon that was provided by our host. The walk to the village is a bit further but it's an easy walk if someone is into walking that distance. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone who's interested in staying in a clean, safe, affordable cottage in the York area there is so much to see and do there I will definitely be returning.
