Wake up to the sound of the ocean waves at this charming, seaside cottage in York. With 121 feet of ocean frontage and a beautiful park-like setting, you can easily unwind on the Adirondack chairs and watch the waves, shooting stars or sunrise. You'll also be treated to a view of the Nubble Lighthouse and Boon Island! This home features a gas fireplace, a cozy sunroom, a firepit and recently received beautiful upgrades while keeping the old charm. This home can also be rented together with Sea Belle - Castle Rock & Sea Belle Cottages.

Situated right on Pebble Beach, you can enjoy an afternoon of climbing on the reef and exploring the huge tidal pool playground at low tide. Go swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking or try fishing right off the rocks - and bring your water shoes for this! If you're visiting during the 4th of July, you'll have a great view of the fireworks. Take a quick stroll to the Short Sands Beach and downtown, which boasts great shopping and restaurants. The Cape Neddick Park is a mile north or head two miles south of this home to see the Nubble Light House up close.

Lovely

The cottage was amazing, however communication with property manager needs improvement. Amenities listed 2tv's only one when we got there none in the living room, 3 calls because nothing was resolved until the last call error on the website only one tv. Our last day there we found the tv in the living friend visiting who is an engineer hooked it up for us unfortunately it was our last day. other little things but the tv was the most. My son is autistic and legally blind he likes to watch listen to his game shows.

Perfect family getaway

What a perfect vacation! The layout was great for us, my elderly mom and our two kids. The location can't be beat -- a quick jaunt to a sandy beach, shops and restaurants -- but so relaxing just to to stay home. We ate every meal outside, enjoyed the firepit and lapping waves, and had plenty of time to relax while watching the kids scramble over the rocks and explore the tide pools. Highly recommend this rental for a classic Maine summer vacation.

This oceanfront cottage was a perfect place to relax and enjoy starry nights and glorious sunrises. The house was cozy and just like the description and pictures suggested. It had everything my family and I needed and I was sad to check out. I would definitely stay here again.

Rock ‘n’ View

This property is ideally situated along the coast at Barn Point. Really a “stones throw away” from Pebble Beach! At every hour, you can watch and hear the tide roll in and roll out. A short walk into York and Short Sands Beach and easy drives to great restaurants and beaches. The house is simply and nicely decorated. Truly enjoyable.

Just what we were looking for

4 of us go on a girls trip every year. We decided on Maine and picked this property and we were all so happy that we did. The property is perfectly set by the water, where we loved watching the tides change, lobster fisherman and millions of stars. The house is quaint, with everything you need (except a pizza cutter). The decorating is tasteful and the furniture is very comfortable. Less than a 10 minute walk to the little beach town is such a bonus. We enjoyed several fires at the fire pit and friendly conversations with the neighbors on both sides. I would go back today, if I could.

Wonderful stay!

This was a perfect place to get away with family. It was amazing to be right on the ocean, and the kids had a blast on the rocks and pebble beach. Everything was comfortable and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was great with everything we needed. The walkway to the front steps and first floor bedroom were great for accommodating our senior family member who has difficulty with steps (there were a few steps she negotiated carefully).

Wonderful!

This property was everything we hoped and more! It is such a cute cottage Right on the Ocean, wonderful views from every room and you can hear the waves crashing all day and night, what a great way to fall asleep! The view while sitting in the front yard is beautiful! My son enjoyed climbing on the rocks in the front and finding his way over to the pebbly beach. It is only about a half mile stroll to downtown with shopping, restaurants and the public beach. Very comfortable beds and an abundance of amenities and linens! Will be back!!

Charming cottage with incredible views

We had a ideal stay at this cottage. The sunroom was the perfect place to enjoy the view and sounds of the surf and ringing of the buoy. The AC units and the gas fireplace kept us comfortable no matter the temperature. The bedrooms had wonderful views. We loved the fire pit (bring your own wood). The kitchen was well equipped but it would have been nice to have sugar and creamer for the coffee maker. My only other suggestion is to add owner’s book of personal dining/shopping recommendations. Would love to stay again!

The Sisters

The setting is beautiful and the house accommodated us very well. The porch was our go to place for reading, eating and viewing. The Adirondack chairs provided us comfortable seating while looking out over the ocean and sitting around the fire pit. However, there were no waste baskets in the bedrooms or upstairs bathroom. The coffee maker needed a good cleaning before we could use it and there was a missing screen on the window in the twin bedroom, so unfortunately it couldn't be opened to receive that refreshing ocean breeze. The fan paddles could use a wipe down and the twin bed mattresses need replacement.. Overall, it is a fantastic location and we're looking forward to a return.

Amazing!!

I was a little hesitant to book this property since there were no reviews, but I went ahead as it was in the location I desired and I thought I’d take a chance. Am I so glad I did! The photos do not do it justice! They have made a very cozy and comfortable home away from home. Every last detail was seen to and you could tell there was much thought in regards to comfort and convenience. It was also extremely clean. And the LOCATION! You could not have been closer to the ocean unless you were on a boat! There was ample seating around the fire pit and even wood ready to burn. The beds were comfy and the linens tasteful and comfortable. Each room had calm and serene atmospheres and sleeping with the red buoy bell chiming with the waves crashing was an unbelievable experience. There were plenty of towels and extra pillows and blankets in each room and even throw blankets in the living areas. What I really loved about the home was that although it is not large, there was plenty of room and comfortable furniture for the maximum number of guests. We had just come from a week at Lake Winnipesaukee in a house 4 times bigger that had 1/3 of the seating and nowhere near the amenities and comfort of this little gem. If we had known we would have cut that stay short and spent more time here. Would I stay here again? Already planning to extend next years vacation to stay a little longer!
