About this property

Star Of The Sea! Charming 3-bedroom cottage in York!

Sleeps 6, 3 BR`s, breathtaking views of the Nubble and Ocean. You will love it! Star Of The Sea Cottage is located directly across from Dunne's Ice Cream and a quick walk to the most photographed lighthouse in New England, The Nubble Lighthouse! Comfortably sleeping 6, this 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage (+ outdoor shower) is the perfect getaway to Maine. Enjoy the amazing views, convenient location and the comfort of feeling like you are home. The owners of this home have taken exceptional care to provide every amenity you will need and an ultra CLEAN environment. You will love walking in and just escaping into the views of the deep blue ocean and the amazing lighthouse. You will even catch glimpses of our local wildlife as the deer, ducks and sometimes fox come strolling across the lawn! We are so lucky in York. We have 4 beautiful public beaches to choose from, and if that is not enough, take a quick ride to Ogunquit and enjoy that public beach, great shopping and dining as well. Or make a day of it and jump on board a whale watching boat or deep sea fishing vessel in Perkins Cove. If bargain shopping is what you are looking for, we have the great factory outlets in Kittery, just down the road. Come back after a day out and wile away the afternoon with a glass of wine and good book. Be careful...you won't want to leave! Downtown York Beach is about 5 minutes from this conveniently located home. There, you will find many more restaurants, bars, shopping, a great playground for the kids and York's Wild Kingdom. This is a zoo and small amusement park. Play mini-golf, ride the Carousel, see the animals and enjoy some cotton candy. Better yet, stroll to Fox's Restaurant for drinks and dinner but save room for ice cream from the famous Dunne's Ice Cream shop directly across the street! Read our reviews...You can tell this adorable cottage by the sea will be a truly memorable experience!

October Weekend Getaway

My parents come up to York every year for the Octoberfest. This year we decided to find a VRBO to come with them, and this property was fantastic! By far one of the best VRBO rentals that we have had. The home was welcoming, clean and comfortable. The view was even more spectacular than the pictures on line! We all had a wonderful and relaxing stay.!

Amazing house in York, ME

This house was absolutely gorgeous. The view was incredible and the pictures, although accurate, did not do it justice. We could not have stayed in a better place. Clean, cozy, comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated! Would highly recommended!!

Great view and very comfy place

Traveling with husband and our two college aged sons for our summer vacation. We switched to this location from another place that was closer to Acadia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Parking was easy, the accommodations were perfect for our family and the views from the porch and living room were perfect. We made daily walks down to the lighthouse at night and it was a peaceful place to sit. Definitely would recommend!
