About this property
Our Maine Attraction - Privacy, Peace and Quiet!
Welcome to heaven! Our cottage sits on a private beach on Skipper's Bay at the end of a private road. While the rest of York is booming with activity, you can relax and even swim in the private bay. We invite you to spend some quality time in our "other" home away from home. The town of York is a lovely and inviting place to relax and take a deep breath. Experience a New England beach town at its finest. Enjoy local cuisine, visit Nubble Lighthouse, travel Route 1 South to Portsmouth or Kittery, head north to Wells and Ogunquit or just stay put and enjoy the local attractions such as The Goldenrod, York's Wild Kingdom amusement park and zoo, Short, Sands and Long sands as well as lots of souvenir shops. We hope you love it here as much as we do!
*Important - for now, we require vacationers take their own trash and recyclables home with them.
Our Maine Attraction offers privacy, peace and quiet, the conveniences of home, and the most awesome views you've ever seen!
Our Maine Attraction has three bedrooms. One has two twin beds, one has a double bed, and one has a queen size bed. We supply the pillows and blankets. There is a full kitchen with dishes, silverware, cups, glasses, and pots and pans. There is also a fireplace (no fires please), an outdoor shower (April through October), a gas grill, a washer and dryer in the basement, WiFi, cable TV, a large ocean front deck, and four red Adirondack chairs by the ocean.
There are two public beaches close by. Short Sands Beach, walking distance from the house, is located in town. Long Sands Beach is less than a five minute ride.
The York Beach area provides many restaurants of all kinds as well as Hannaford's Market on Route 1 south.
The Kittery Shopping Outlets are just twenty minutes away.
There are several golf courses close by.
York Beach has an amusement park, as well as a zoo. Both are open seasonally.

About the area
York Beach
Located in York Beach, this holiday home is near theme parks and on the beach. Market Square is a notable landmark, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Short Sands Beach and Long Sands Beach. York's Wild Kingdom and Knight's Quilt Shop are also worth visiting. Kayaking, power boating and sailing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Karen Laflamme
We live in MA. This has been in our family for almost 50 years and, until this point, only rented to family and friends. We are now offering it to share with you and hope you will love and care for our little piece of heaven as much as we do. It really is a very special place.
Why they chose this property
In our opinion, there is nothing else like it. Heaven on Earth.
You can relax on our over-sized deck or up in our red Adirondack chairs or even on the rocks themselves and feel at peace. One of my favorite things to do is sit on the rocks themselves and look for sea glass and other little hidden treasures.

What makes this property unique
Because it's in a private bay you get the best of both worlds. While town is busy with the hustle and bustle of lots of tourists visiting wonderful York, this house is situated in a private bay where no trespassing is allowed. Only the people in the bay are allowed to use it. You can go join the excitement or have peace and quiet at the house or up on the rocks.
