About this property

Coastal Charm Awaits: Your Perfect Seaside Getaway - Walk to York Harbor Beach!

The Whiting Cottage is your quintessential “classic Maine cottage.” Built in 1880, it is full of charm and ornate detail with lots and lots of room.


2-3 night minimum September to late June.
Sunday to Sunday, 7 day rental late June thru Labor Day.


It’s perfect for hosting families, friends, company outings, as well as your unique special event - with 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 5 living rooms, 3 kitchens, 1 kitchenette, there is plenty of space to spread out, or to be together! Classic large kitchen area to have those large gatherings around the table….let the memories begin! The entire home has the capability to split into 4 separate units, so would be perfect for families and friends to come together or have their own separate space.


The balcony is one of the best spots in the house to sit and relax and breathe the fresh salty air (we might be biased), accompanied by a large deck and huge front farmers porch (perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by!)! No worries about parking, there is plenty! Whether you are here to vacation, a romantic getaway, or attending a wedding, corporate event, family reunions, or whatever it may be, the Whiting Cottage is waiting for you - Be Our Guest!

Updated kitchen appliances and washer + dryer!


Leave your car in the driveway…walk to the beach!
Walk across the street and you will find the Cliff Walk - where you can have the best walk to the beach or do it for the bold views of the Atlantic Ocean! Catch the Fishermans walk starting at York Harbor Beach, follow it to the Wiggly Bridge, and walk over the Rte.103 bridge will land you at The Deck and Dockside!

Hosted by Mark Kinton

This is our family's venture!
Our roots are from various parts of New England; from Woburn and Arlington, Massachusetts, Hamden, Connecticut, and Dover, New Hampshire, we all made our way to beautiful York, Maine. Our individual paths crossed over the years and we have collectively all been residents of York, Maine for over 30 years. Erin, Mike and Mark have served the public in a variety of ways including the fields of education, law enforcement, and the medical profession. Lauren (owner of The Opal Society), Thomas (co-owner of Southern Maine Lobster Company), and Anna (owner of Anna Grace Design) are all local entrepreneurs and their expertise and services include cosmetology, graphic design and the lobster industry.

We are hard-working people that value family and the relationships with our friends. Over the years, and through life experiences, we have been fortunate to come to understand and appreciate the gifts of humility and gratitude.

We purchased the Whiting Cottage in January 2022. After many hours of hard work, tough decisions, and difficult times we stand on our feet today very proud of our accomplishment. The amount of blood, sweat and tears that went into restoring and “shining up” the property has all been worth it. Knowing this, it was an easy decision for us to want to share its historic charm, elegance, and allure; it is truly timeless. It is our honor to have you as our guests at the Whiting Cottage while you “experience” York with all its history and beauty.
We are vested in this property and take great pride in being able to share it with you.

Please take this opportunity to enjoy this home, the local environment, and the serenity; but most importantly, we respectfully suggest that you do your best to put “work” on hold as you relax and enjoy each other's company. And with that, we humbly share our family motto with you... “The best is yet to come”. We hope you choose the Whiting Cottage for your stay. Enjoy!
