The Cottage at Long Sands

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Swim, windsurf, and sunbathe all summer long at this York cottage - a family-friendly Maine escape with a private patio and an unbeatable location about a block from Long Sands Beach!

The perfect retreat for a family or a group of couples, this quaint, two-story cottage situates you within walking distance of the san and waves. Take sunrise walks along the shoreline toward the Nubble Light to the north, watch the boats come and go from York Harbor two miles south, and sample the darling eateries in the York Historic District one mile west.

Greet the morning sun in the remodeled living space, where you'll find free WiFi, window air-conditioning units (in the living room and three bedrooms), and a country kitchen with double ovens to assist with breakfast. In the summer, grab the beach chairs and a towel from the washer/dryer on your way out the door, and return home for lunch on the gas grill (available seasonally), a board game on the patio, and a movie or two in the living room on the cable TV.

Uncomfortable

The property was not clean when we arrived. A half full vitamin water and a pop tart wrapper were in a bedroom. There were stains on the comforters and a pillow case. In the upstairs bedrooms i had to duck and i am only 6 feet tall. So much more to say, but space is limited to write. I would never sty here again we even checked out early

Annual Christmas shopping trip

On arrival property very clean. Amenities as advertised. Excellent location. Comfortable beds and couches. Overall we had a great time. Couple of small issues; Roku on tv difficult to use due to unfamiliarity with program, and could not get any regular network tv. Wood on floor between living room and dining area is broken , in two pieces and not secured to the floor any more. And clearly a trip hazard.

Yoga Retreat

This was a perfect location for a small yoga retreat. The house was perfect, and the living room was the perfect size to set up our yoga classes. It was wonderful to be within walking distance of the ocean and we wouldn’t love to stay at this house again!

Wonderful coastal cottage

The cozy cottage offers more space than it looks from the outside. The kitchen is well-equipped, and it included a big dining table. The large living room was a great gathering place for our group of five adults. We loved the location--just a few steps away from the ocean, where we were able to walk for a good distance in either direction. The cottage also offers good proximity to Portsmouth and Ogunquit.

Maine experience

We had 8 adults down for a family wedding and the Cottage at Long Sands worked out great for our 4 night stay. The bedroom & bathroom on the main floor worked for our 91 year old mom. The place was roomy enough to sit comfortably in the living room or dining area together. Kitchen could use more regular cups/glasses but otherwise well-enough equipped. And you can’t beat the location- just a quick walk to the beach and that beautiful ocean view! Needs a few more lights - or at least lightbulbs in all the lights! Otherwise - did the trick for our gang. Will also mention that the cottage is situated in a little condo community and they aren’t kidding about the two-car parking limitations. No problems with that and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Small cottage near the beach

I visited this cottage with 4 other friends. It is about 150 from the beach, though the beach is not visible from the cottage. The 3 upstairs bedrooms are very small with low ceilings, though we didn't spend much time in them besides sleeping, so this wasnt an issue. It may be an issue if you are very tall. The living and dining rooms accommodated us fine. The only big drawback was the condition of the cottage when we arrived. While the floors and beds were clean, there was old coffee in the coffee pot, baked on food on the stovetop, and wet playes in tje cabinet. We had no idea why they were wet, so we ended up washing all of them. When I notified the company handling the cottage, they did offer to send somone over to clean it, but we had already taken care of everything. I would recommend this cottage to people who want to be very close to the beach, and hope that the cleaning service improves.

Cute but not clean

The cottage was just what I thought it would be. Very cute, shabby chic. Unfortunately it was not very clean. The bathroom was somewhat clean. The beds were made up but the place was not vacuumed, smelled of stale cigarette smoke and was very dusty. There were crushed chips on the windowsill. I told the management company but no real response or resolution

Key Items in Listing Missing

We checked in on Saturday with family for a planned 50th anniversary celebration. We brought steaks after reading that the rental came with a grill. We arrived - no grill. Reached out to property manager (Vacasa of Maine) and they responded that the grill was available only May - October. I responded with a photo of the listing that did not indicate that the grill was seasonal. I requested that they fix this situation. I let them know that I would be willing to wait until Sunday to cook the meal for my parents and our family. They said they would remedy the situation on Sunday. I was never contacted in any way. I am very, very frustrated that (1) the listing items that they claimed would be available were not and (2) that they did not fix the issue as they said they would. We ended up eating out and this was a significant expense and inconvenience.

December Weekend

The house was great! Clean, well accommodated, excellent location. The check-in process was not good. We arrived late and the code we were sent didn’t work. A call to the property manager wasn’t helpful. Apparently new locks had been installed the week before and something went wrong. The property manager did reach out in the morning and sent someone to fix the lock. They also offered to pay for our lunch due to the inconvenience. We paid all sorts of fees to rent this great house. The door should’ve opened.
