Keywords: Cottage Near the Beach
This friendly, authentic Maine cottage with knotty pine paneling has been nicely updated. 2 bedrooms, one with Queen bed, closet and air conditioner, the second bedroom has 2 twin beds on the porch, (kids love it!) Kitchen with full size Refrigerator/Freezer, Stove/Oven, and eat in Dining area. Bathroom with Tub/shower. Living room with Double pull out couch, cable TV and sky light. Combination locks on the doors, no keys to lose! Outside there are 2 parking places, Charcoal BBQ, Picnic table, Chairs to sit outside and enjoy the quiet family neighborhood. The cottage is a "stone's throw" to a rocky beach for tide pooling, star gazin, and views of Shorts Sands Beach! Hear the waves from the cottage! A short walk the other way is another small tidal beach in the bay, scramble over the rocks to get there.
Popular Short Sands Beach is a pleasant 1/2 mile walk on a tree-lined side street. Shops, restaurants (including great local seafood). You'll find York's Wild Kingdom, The Goldenrod (world famous for salt water taffy made the same way for over 50 years), Funarama with games including skee ball, a wonderful beach side playground and the Gazebo for summer concerts. Walk on another 20 minutes to Brown's Ice Cream and on to the Nubble Lighthouse, enjoying the rocky Maine coastline, and fabulous ocean views. Long Sands beach is another little walk or drive away.
Short drives open a world of sightseeing, shopping, hiking, boating, etc. Portland is 30 minutes away with ferries to the Maine islands; driving up or down the coast leads you to outlet shopping at Freeport, one hour away, or Kittery, 15 minutes away; a burst of driving to the heart of the New Hampshire White Mountains for a days junket is one and one-half hours away.
We come to the cottage in between every guest, to make sure every thing is ready for your arrival. We do not charge for cleaning, as we expect you to leave it as you find it. We also do not charge the 7% Maine tax.
The cottage has been in our family for 40 years, we love it and hope you will love it too and return year after year like some of our guests do!!

Owner's Map of York Beach
Gary's family picked family oriented York for their vacation spot from their home in Keene. I'm Gary's wife, Marion, I'm from Bermuda. I find York so interesting and kept the old fashioned family oriented way, it is fascinating and charming. A great place to vacation year after year. We love it there. we just live 30 minutes away.
