Bright coastal home close to beaches - dogs welcome

Perfect for a family getaway, this well-appointed Cape Neddick home offers a prime location near York's top attractions and beaches—just a short walk to Long Sands Beach and within walking distance to Short Sands Beach. Tucked in a quiet family neighborhood, the home is also dog-friendly and close to dining, shopping, and local sights.

Inside, the coastal theme continues with tasteful decor, hardwood floors, elegant columns, and a cathedral ceiling in the formal sitting room. Multiple living spaces ensure comfort and privacy for everyone, with an open floor plan and soft sea-inspired tones throughout. The main floor includes two inviting sitting areas: a casual space with cable TV and a more formal room with a wood-burning fireplace and ample natural light. A third living space in the basement offers a cozy den—perfect for watching sports or Saturday morning cartoons. WiFi is available throughout the home.

The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze for multiple cooks, with granite counters, modern appliances, and a large double-door fridge. Kids can enjoy smoothies or snacks at the breakfast bar, while more formal meals—like a lobster dinner—can be served in the dining room. A sunny breakfast nook with bay windows and two outdoor patios (one with a firepit for s'mores) provide plenty of options for dining. The home also includes a laundry room and a seasonal outdoor shower.

Sleeping arrangements are ideal for families and groups: upstairs, you'll find a king bedroom, queen bedroom, and a third room with two twin beds plus a trundle. The finished basement adds extra space with a queen bed and a bunk bed with a twin over/full. A dog bed and dishes are provided for your furry friend.

Beach days are easy with extra chairs provided. Short Sands Beach is especially family-friendly, with a playground and the beloved Goldenrod candy shop. Visit in August for York Days, featuring sandcastle contests and a craft fair.

Just a half-mile away, York's Wild Kingdom offers both a zoo and amusement park. Nearby, visit the iconic Nubble Lighthouse for photos and lunch at Fox's Lobster House. With comfort, charm, and an unbeatable location, this coastal Maine retreat promises a classic East Coast vacation to remember.
