Great location and the cottages have everything you need for a beach stay. Heidi was great at handling a concern we had and addressed it right away. The outside shower is a great amenity. I’ll come back again.

It does not sleep 6 people. The shower is extremely small. The floor had a lot of dips. Not like the pictures at all. Hard to find.I had to leave because of a family emergency. I wasn’t told about bringing linen until the last email . Confusing messages.

Perfect Getaway for Little Family

This property is such a hidden jem. Although the doorways to the bedrooms and bathroom are small you cannot beat the location, cute details and price. This was so perfect for my 3 yr old, husband and my erd trimester pregnant self. We plan to stay again next year!

Revisit to York

This was my first time being at these cottages. It was a great location, and just enough space for the week. The property was clean, and easy to find. Communication with the owners was great. They were able to accomodate a last minute change, and even responded quickly when we thought one of our bedroom lights was out. We met several families in the surrounding cottages and everyone was so nice! I would consider staying here again.

Favorite beach cottages in York

This was the second year that my teenage son and I stayed at the Crowes Cottages with our dog and we will be staying there again. We love the proximity to both Short Sands and Long Sands which are both just a short walk away! We enjoy the friendly atmosphere among the guests staying in the 7 cottages most of whom are usually visiting with a four legged family member. The cottages are small but include everything you need and there is an outdoor shower if you have a giant teenager who needs more space! Crowes Cottages are the best value in all of York Beach. Highly recommended!

Feed back

Unfortunately, we found the sofa needing to be cleaned, it had a dusty/musty smell to it, and the cabin had a musty smell as well. We found the floors were swept, however they were not washed, our bare feet got very dirty.

This place is very close to both long sands and short sands , had what you need to cook and be outside evens gives you charcoal and such to grill outside. It’s very convenient and hosts are very attentive if you have a problem.

“A Stay at Short Sands in York County, Maine”

Stayed in 2BR Cottage #7 had #1 Full w/Wall Closet and #1 Twin Bunk BR. Decent Size LR/EIK @ Main Entry with Cooler/Storage behind Door to cottage. Excellent location, Nice Property with eclectic, , miss matched/repurposed, sturdy furniture perfect for a cottage! All the basics provided for making meals/eating for good size refrig, #4 burner electric stove, pots, pans, dishes and silverware/utensils with an electric Mr Coffee just needed the Bag of Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee, Half & Half and Sugar. Hand and Dish Soap, Antibac Spray Cleaner, Paper Towels, and Toilet Paper provided. Outdoor Shower clean, perfect for showering sand off from short walk to beach. Feedback given about mattresses with Property Manager-Crystal reporting “new mattresses” being discussed. Bureau with Table Lamp in each BR but suitcase stands for Full Size BR and then #1 maybe #2 suitcase stands would fit in Bunk BR. Coat Hooks in Main LR/EIK, in Bunk Room with more in Bathroom and Bunk Room would be helpful then Coat Hooks @ Outdoor Shower would be great too. We brought our own small gas grill but there was a charcoal grill @ each cottage with coal provided and grilling utensils for ease if needed. Full Size Wooden Picnic Table for up to #6 was very sturdy and clean. A Patio with Wooden Picnic Table with well constructed gazebo on property for use by guests with Horse Shoe Pit and Bean Bag Toss Game on site. A Stone Fire Pit would be a nice touch! Toasting Marshmallows/making Smore’s could be done at the charcoal grill though. To be transparent, the bathroom doesn’t have standard size door in this unit, shower stall and sink smaller too so this cottage would not be recommended for a larger sized person/people. We’d most certainly consider staying in this cottage at this property in York, Maine again! Thank You for a wonderful stay, a nice long weekend at the beach! The Bettano’s

Family Getaway

The location was perfect for walking to Short or Long Sands. The cabin was uncomfortable because the air conditioner was not large enough to cool the rooms. It was usually 88 degrees inside. I did not have an outside clothesline in #7.
