We stayed the week of 4th of July and the house was very well-equipped which made our stay so easy. Friends who were also staying in York were jealous of our location. Highly recommended!
The host was very responsive and accommodating. The house was clean and very well stocked. It’s a very short walk to the beach, the general store, and the ice cream shop! We will definitely book again!
Seaglass Cottage was in the perfect location - close to family and an easy walk to Long Sands, the General Store, and the Dairy Bar, which was ideal with two young children. The cottage was charmingly decorated and well-equipped. The front porch and the private deck off the bedroom provided enjoyable spaces to relax. The Welcome Basket was a wonderful and unexpected touch.
My family was very pleased with our stay. (Family
Of 5 with teens). The house was perfectly located within walking distance to Long Sands, as well as a few eateries. The property was very clean and organized. Communication with the owner was excellent. Thank you Colleen and Gary. We would definitely stay here again.
We had an excellent trip and the house we rented came exactly as advertised. Both the owner and property manager were very responsive. York is a great family friendly vacation spot and the location of the house was perfect for what we needed.
The cottage was in a perfect location for us with family around us. Beautiful views on the porches, clean and quiet. One bathroom was the only downside, but we made it work! Would definitely make this our vacation spot again and yes, the cooler with more gifts inside was an awesome cottage welcome!

everything you could want
We loved staying here. The attention to detail by the owners; Colleen & Gary really made the stay wonderful. The decor was beautiful and we loved having two porches. We were worried about noise (there's a restaurant nearby - Stones Throw, which is also wonderful) but it was quiet in the evenings. Joan is their property manager and the place was spotless when we arrived. We met her and so happy we did! We've been staying on Long Sands for 10 years and this was by far, the best suited, comfy, filled with amenities and we even received a gift basket with 2 bathrobes (to keep!). Thank you Colleen, Gary & Joan for a wonderful, welcoming, relaxing stay.

Nice cottage, great location!
We had a wonderful week for our stay here! When we first arrived were first welcomed by some very nice baskets of goodies that we used throughout the week. The cottage was very clean and well maintained, and we loved the view of the ocean from the upstairs balcony. Could have just sat there the whole week! The location could not have been better. A block walk to the beach, Stones Throw restaurant, the North Sands General store, and trolley stop made driving almost obsolete. Would definitely recommend!

Great Location, Great Cottage
Seaglass Cottage was the perfect fit for our family of 5. It is beautifully (but practically) decorated and had everything we needed for our week at the beach. It is an easy walk to Long Sands and lots of other attractions. Stones Throw restaurant and The General Store at the top of the road were favorites of ours! We also made use of the the trolley to go to York's Wild Kingdom and other Shorts Sands attractions. Colleen (the owner) was wonderful and easy to communicate with.

Great find at Cope Neddick
The Seaglass Cottage is extremely well equipped and supplied, from extra beach towels to a clothes washer and dryer. The cottage is very nicely decorated and very clean. The three bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious. There is a full living room and a nice eating area. Location is just a very short walk to the beach which is certainly an advantage. An open deck and covered porch add to the appeal.
Coleen, the owner, is easily contacted and very helpful. We highly recommend Seaglass Cottage if you want a very nice place near the beach at Cape Neddick.
Although WiFi and parking are included in the rental, the high fees HomeAway charges are not.
