About this property
"On Beach Time" Beach Cottage --7 Night Stay for prime months of Jun, Jul & Aug
Cozy beach house with ocean view only 5 minute walk from Long Sands Beach. Walk to Lobster Cove Restaurant with its upper and lower deck dining and hopping bar. Cottage has upper wrap around porch deck to sit outdoors and relax in the salt air. Bathrooms on both floors. First floor small kitchen, living room with three season porch. Spiral staircase to second floor living and master bedroom and livingroom with access to upper deck. Side walks make a stroll to Long Sands beach or bike ride easy or cut through Bay View Rd and cross the quaint wooden bridge to the ocean. Head to Short Sands to visit Golden Rod Restaurant to watch the famous salt water taffy be pulled or Yorks Wild Animal Kingdom with the amusement park section that is open and walkable and the Zoo can be accessed w/tickets. Grab a drink and dinner at the deck at Stones Throw on Long Sands and drive out to the Nubble Light House to have ice cream at Dunnes. Sand Dollar and Inn on the Blues have great live entertainment. So much to do! York Beach is old school New England beach town great for families. The park at Short Sands has slides, swings, slides and a gazebo with weekly free night concerts. Bowlarama has old school arcades and candlepin bowling. Get some fudge at Sweet Josie's and buy some cool York jewelry at Bill-n-Bobs or more upscale beachwear at Wheat Boutique. Take a ride out to Oqunquit for a faster night life scene or to see a show at the Playhouse. Perfect for a family of 4 or 2 couples who want their privacy. Sleep a few extra on the futon on pull out couch. Sleeps up to 6 if you use the both the pull out couch downstairs & fouton to sleep 2, otherwise there are 2 twin beds downstairs and one queen bed upstairs that sleeps 4 total. Note spiral staircase can be tricky to navigate for toddlers, elderly or folks with mobility issues-- also large suitcases are tough to manage to the second floor. This is a really cute place that has a great location with tons of fun stuff to do!

About the host
Hosted by Nicole & Dan
This is our family's beach cottage-- we have been coming to York Beach for years and absolutely love it here (plan to retire here and do the snow bird thing someday!). York is such a fun place and we are very active people with kids that like to surf, bike, skateboard, and hike with us! We also very much enjoy doing the races in York in the summer-- specifically the 4 on the 4th Race and York Days race in August, so if you are a runner/jogger/walker, sign up for those if you choose to stay!
If you play the tides right Lobster Cove beach is very uncrowded and a beautiful place to chill. If you like a busier beach with more folks to see and lifeguards on duty, Long Sands is just down the road.
Enjoy it, we definitely do!
Nicole (& Dan & kids)
Why they chose this property
It is affordable weekly-- why stay at a hotel when you can have a whole house?! It is quaint and in a great location to walk, bike, or take the trolley into town.
What makes this property unique
The two floors with a bathroom and shower and flat screen tv on each floor lends itself nicely to providing the perfect privacy while maintaining togetherness-- kids or inlaws downstairs with the master bedroom upstairs with the deck.
