Great location!

Perfect cottage for a getaway to York Beach! Owners have thought of every detail, including yard chairs, beach chairs, beach towels, and a small basket of snacks! Very clean and comfortable, and easy to work ACs and fans. Beach is across the street- you can see the ocean from the house! Very pleasant way to spend the weekend with my family.

York Beach for a few hot days

We were thrilled to discover this place was exactly as described and it was a great vacation break. Very clean, updated and all comforts available. The beach across the street was a cool treat to swim during heat of the day and share a cup of coffee while sitting on sea wall in the mornings.

The cottage was spotless — and pleasantly adorned with beach-friendly quotes, sayings and decorations. The coffee was plentiful, the bed was great, the TV had everything. If we’d gone closer to warm weather, we’d have used all the beach gear as well. The small shower wasn’t easy for me to maneuver in — and I’m not that big — but was a little blip in a great weekend getaway.

Great sea-side spot!

Clean and cute space! Check in process was a breeze and very easy. The cottage was very clean and as described by the listing. The property manager was very easy to contact and very responsive. Literally across the street from the beach, which was the main draw for me. Great location and easy access. Neighborhood is pretty quiet and clean. Hope to be back!

The perfect place to enjoy Long Sands

We've spent our holidays in York several times, and this place was just perfect. Close to the beach, clean, welcoming, and fully equipped (a rarity). Steve is a host who really took care of us and was available when needed. We stayed for two weeks and would have stayed two more weeks if it had been possible! Eric et Genevieve

We loved our stay at this beautiful beach cottage. The home was very clean and Steve has done a fantastic job ensuring the house is fully stocked with everything you might need. It is perfectly located, just steps from Long Sands Beach! Steve went above and beyond as a host and was extremely responsive to any questions I had. My only recommendation would be to consider a small washer/dryer for the unit. We would absolutely rent this home again and would highly recommend it to others!

3 nights week of July 4th

Property was very clean. Lots of towels, keurig with pods and plastic as well as regular dishware. My husband and I are both over 75. We are in good shape but found the stairs to the bedroom/loft pretty steep. Since the bathroom was downstairs it could be hard to navigate for the elderly.
