Widow’s Walk — A Light-Filled Coastal Escape on the Nubble Peninsula
Tucked away on Cycad Avenue in the heart of York’s beloved Nubble Peninsula, Widow’s Walk is a true Maine retreat — where rustic charm meets modern coastal comfort. Just minutes from Long Sands Beach, Short Sands Beach, and the iconic Nubble Lighthouse, this three-bedroom getaway invites you to unwind, explore, and embrace the simple pleasures of seaside living.
A True Nubble Hideaway - Arrive to the soft hum of the ocean breeze and the welcoming sight of the home’s wrap-around deck, perfect for morning coffee or an evening spent grilling as the sun sets. The outdoor shower, tucked privately behind the house, is a quintessential beach-day luxury — rinse off sandy feet and salty smiles after hours spent by the waves.
Comfortable Coastal Living - Inside, the lower level houses all three bedrooms and a full bathroom, designed for cozy relaxation after a day of adventure. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, the second room includes two twin beds, and the third offers a twin-over-full bunk, ideal for kids or flexible sleeping arrangements.
A Gathering Space in the Trees - Follow the spiral staircase to the open-concept second floor, where light pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that frame the surrounding greenery. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow effortlessly together — an airy space where laughter fills the air and the spirit of vacation takes over. Whether you’re cooking a favorite meal, sharing stories around the dining table, or lounging with a good book, this floor is designed for connection. A second full bathroom with an open ceiling design adds a touch of unique, rustic character.
Rustic Coastal Charm - Widow’s Walk is for those who crave the kind of beach vacation that feels authentic — relaxed, warm, and full of character. From its weathered charm to its thoughtfully stocked kitchen and open living spaces, it’s a home that makes you feel instantly at ease.
With its unbeatable location near York’s most beloved beaches, a deck made for sunsets, and the easy rhythm of coastal life surrounding you, Widow’s Walk is a timeless Nubble retreat — perfect for families and friends ready to create their own seaside stories.
