About this property

The Little Guy – A Surprisingly Spacious Seaside Cottage Near the Nubble

Don’t let the name fool you — The Little Guy is full of charm, space, and coastal cheer! Tucked in the highly desirable Nubble Lighthouse neighborhood, this pristine beach cottage is just a 12-minute walk to Long Sands Beach and 15 minutes to Short Sands Beach, where you’ll find family fun, restaurants, shops, Bowl-A-Rama, the arcade, and York’s Wild Kingdom.

A short stroll brings you to the iconic Nubble Lighthouse and Fox’s Lobster House, a beloved seaside institution since 1966. Craving something sweet after dinner? Just around the corner, Dunne’s Ice Cream serves up the perfect summer cone with unbeatable ocean views.

🛏 Cozy, Thoughtful Interiors
The Little Guy features two roomy bedrooms and one spacious full bathroom:
Bedroom 1 – King bed
Bedroom 2 – Two twin beds*

The fully stocked kitchen is ready for everything from a quick pre-beach breakfast to a classic New England lobster bake at night. After a day in the sun, unwind with a glass of wine or a cold local beer while stargazing from the front yard — the perfect way to end a beach day.

🧺 Comfort & Convenience
No need to pack bulky linens — we provide crisp sheets, fluffy towels, starter supplies, and even a special welcome gift with local treats to kick off your Maine getaway. Thoughtful amenities like window A/C units, a drip coffee maker, electric fireplace, washer & dryer, and two parking spaces make settling in a breeze.

Bring your small dog along to join in the fun — we welcome furry friends, too!

✨ The Little Guy may have a modest name, but it delivers big on comfort, location, and coastal charm. Whether you’re planning a family vacation or a couple’s retreat, this cottage is the perfect home base for your York Beach adventure.
