About this property
Classic ocean front cottage
Summary:
The Cahill is a classically, beautiful 7 bedroom, 3 bath, oceanfront cottage overlooking the short sands bay. Relax and enjoy the ocean view on the large wrap-around porch and watch the boats go by. You are an easy walk to both the Nubble Lighthouse, Short Sands Beach and the busy downtown area.
The Space:
The Cahill features a master bedroom on the first floor complete with attached bathroom. There are two living rooms, both surrounded in glass with a picture perfect view of the sea, both have electric/gas fireplaces. One living room has a bar. The kitchen is spacious, modern and complete with all the amenities you could want. The dining room includes a long dining table with seating for 8 and another table that seats 4. In the kitchen, there is a kitchen island that seats 4 and a high top table that seats 2. The remaining 6 bedrooms are on the second floor divided by two separate wings. Washer/dryer, cable, wifi, yard space, bbq area with an outside dining table, and parking for four cars is included.
Coastal breezes, the sights of soaring ocean gulls, sounds of gentle waves on the rocks. Explore and experience the Cahill. We offer our guests comfortable, coastal style accommodations. We are a favorite York Beach destination.
