This is a wonderful vacation house! It is so close to the beach, has front area with table to sit at, and a big yard which isn't common, and inside is nice and clean. We live close by, so brought our own linens and towels, but when the listing says have everything they really do! towels, linens, blankets, all the bathroom supplies you could need so if you are traveling it lightens what you need to bring.

We loved our visit and appreciated how close the location was to long sands beach. Mt Agamenticus, Short Sands beach and kittery were all a very easy drive, as is ogunquit. The property is recessed from the main road and the neighborhood is very quiet, so you won’t run into the crowds and noise that you will experience in other locations. We also appreciated being able to have a full kitchen for meals when we didn’t want to go out. DoorDash also had a surprising amount of great options and the delivery times were great. We used this service for both meals and groceries.

Great dog friendly place near long sands

The place is actually nicer than the photos! Such a short walk to long sands beach. Cottage was well stocked with essentials—paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, towels, kitchen gear. The living area was very comfortable with many board games and books. The upstairs sitting area was a bonus with another tv . The firepit outside looked great, but we didn’t get to use it-the weather didn’t really cooperate with us this weekend. The fact that we could bring our dog was the icing on the cake. If you are looking for the quintessential beach cottage in York, look no further!

Good beach area cottage

Cute quaint cottage house in a nice and safe neighborhood. House was clean, has comfortable beds and plenty of space for 5 people. The kitchen is stocked with all types of cooking utensils including many nice new pots and pans and newer coffee maker. Walk to Long Sands beach is an easy 4-5 minute straight shot walk down the road, although having a wagon would be a bonus. The owner was kind with providing needed information for payments and check-in/check-out.

The house has an old-time charm. It is bigger than what one might expect from the pictures. The beach is a short 5 minutes walk. We were lucky to have nice weather, so we enjoyed the backyard very much. I would love to come back.
