Quaint Cottage

This charming cottage exceeded our expectations! Its location is absolutely wonderful—just a short stroll from the beautiful beach and within walking distance of several quaint restaurants and little local gems. It was the perfect setting for relaxing, enjoying the sunshine, and truly getting away.And don’t let the word “cottage” fool you—this home is surprisingly spacious and incredibly comfortable. The beautifully updated kitchen has everything you could need, with all the comforts of home. Each bedroom is thoughtfully decorated and absolutely darling, while the spacious dining room provides plenty of room for everyone to gather and enjoy meals together.The living room was our favorite—it has that warm, inviting feeling of being in your best friend’s home. Every detail throughout the cottage feels thoughtfully chosen, creating a space that is both beautiful and incredibly welcoming.We truly loved our stay. The combination of the perfect location, beautiful décor, comfort, and charm made this cottage such a special find. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing beach getaway!

Charming Cottage

We had a last minute change to our vacation plans (Hawaii canceled due to hurricanes) and came upon this adorable cottage. We vacationed quite frequently at Martha’s Vineyard and wanted a change and what a pleasant surprise we came upon. Walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants (a shout out to Woody’s Pizza) and just a friendly little town. It was a perfect place to unwind and just relax. Drove up the coast to Kennibunkport and what a scenic ride. We played scrabble, operation and a couple of card games. The place was SO warm and welcoming. Everything we needed was supplied and any questions we had was answered quickly and such a kind group to deal with. We even were able to watch some surfers (we got the Hawaii experience only on the East Coast)…even better because it was only a 2 hour drive. We never knew this place existed. We are now putting in our time for next year because I know there will not be any openings if we don’t get ahead of the rush. Just an FYI… stores close early 4-5:00 pm off season but restaurants are still open late. A place to definitely relax off season. We give it 5 stars!!!

Well appointed great stay close to all Short Sands has to offer!

Great host! Plenty of communication when we booked, as we got closer to our stay, when we checked in, and followed up after to make sure we enjoyed our time. Tiny cottage was just as described. Our family of four had a great stay (plus one significant other). Living and dining area are open and spacious. Kitchen is new and comes with what you need to bake or cook on the stove. Fridge was clean and worked well. We liked it in the area off the kitchen as it was a perfect place to pack a cooler for the day at the beach. The bedroom with twin beds as well as the living and dining room both have ceiling fans. The other two bedrooms have comfortable beds. Shutters on the lower half of the windows allow you to let the light in with privacy if you don’t want to draw the shades. Bathroom on first floor functioned perfectly for our family. Shower had great water pressure, temp control, and can be handheld which is great because it is a smaller stall. Our first night we bought a disposable table cloth, ordered lobster dinner for our family from Off the Boat Lobsters (about 10 min drive) and they cooked them and we enjoyed a fabulous lobster dinner at the picnic table in the back. Location is perfect and you can basically park and forget about driving if you want as short sands is just a fantastic area. This is a desirable neighborhood to stay whether you have kids or not because there is so much to do for all ages. (Highly recommend bowling barefoot at Fun O’Rama!) Safe location!The shed has beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and cart to make a trip to the beach easy! Bring your own beach towels. Overall, we enjoyed our time and if you love beach, shops, taking walks, having fun and options for great restaurants you don’t have to drive to, just drive up and enjoy.
