Our second stay at the Maine Cottage was amazing! We loved the recent enhancements of mini-split air conditioning and outdoor shower but our favorite change was the landscaping. The view to the ocean is now even less obstructed. We had a wonderful week despite the heat wave. Seeing the Strawberry Moon over the cove was spectacular as well. Can’t wait for our next visit!

This coastal maine cottage was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Communication with the owner and the caretaker of the property was great. The house had everything we needed and more. It felt like being home, but with better views and a great outdoor shower. The area is amazing, (20 min in one direction for Kittery and 20 min in the other direction for Ogunquit), but York itself is beautiful and charming. Being able to watch the sunrise from the deck or within a quick walk to the beach was such a treat! We also loved morning coffee and dinners on the deck with those amazing views of the ocean and Nubble Lighthouse. We loved everything about our stay here and would be happy to return again in the future.

Family Vacation

Our stay at the “Maine house” as my kids were calling it was amazing. We absolutely loved the week we were there. Beth greeted us upon arrival and we just knew it was going to be a perfect home away from home.

The cottage was as pictured, well stocked with supplies and clean. The view is amazing and we loved sitting on the deck and being able to walk to the beach and explore the tidepools away from the crowds. Thanks for a great stay

Cozy, spotless cottage with all the amenities we needed (and then some). Manager greeted us personally and inquired re our needs throughout our visit. Very friendly neighbors and lovely views from the back deck. Very relaxed, convenient, and mellow spot. Despite location on 1A, traffic was never an issue and the convenience was spot-on re walking, bike riding, parks, beaches and restaurants. We definitely recommend the property.

Perfect oceanfront stay

The house was clean, bright and airy with beautiful ocean views. We spent many hours on the back deck enjoying the salty air and sea breeze. The location was perfect - a nice neighborhood and an easy walk to Nubble Light (2 miles), York Beach (1 mile), Hartley Mason Reserve (1 mile). And an easy drive to many great towns.

We had an amazing time in your cottage and found it to be absolutely perfect for our family. Our children loved running around the backyard and being so close to the trolley stop. The parents loved the idyllic views of the water and the proximity to York beach. It was a perfect vacation!
