About this property

Inviting oceanfront home with fireplace, firepit, & views from every room

Enjoy this gorgeous, ocean-front home for your next getaway to the shores of Maine! This home is located right on the water so you won't be far from the beautiful sounds of crashing waves and it offers ocean views from every room. The home has a fully equipped kitchenette for easy meal preparation and plenty of space for dining. There is a private gas grill outside and a fire pit for some s'mores during the summer! Stay connected with the free WiFi and cable TV during your stay as well!

Located right on Pebble Beach, you might not want to leave during your stay! In the surrounding area, you can enjoy the huge tidal pool playground at low tide, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, hunting, and fishing off the rocks (be sure to wear some water shoes when doing this!). The home provides a great view for 4th of July fireworks and you'll be sure to catch some gorgeous views of the stars as well. The home is located just a short walk away from the Short Sands Beach and downtown where there is tons of shopping and restaurants. The Cape Neddick Park is about a mile away from you!

Beautiful location

Sea Belle cottage was every bit as nice as the photos show -- my wife and I spent a fantastic week enjoying the views, watching the tides, and relaxing. The cottage was very neat and clean, as was the yard. We had a great time and were sorry when our week was over!

Great little home!

Confortable homey cottage right on the ocean

Loved the cozy gas fireplace, the ocean right there beyond the back yard, the sound of the bell on the buoy. This is a small home but had everything we needed. Great location.

Great ocean front cottage!

Such a great little cottage! We were two couples and it was perfect for us for a couple of nights. Awesome waking up to the ocean views. Easy walk into town and to short sands beach. Also loved the fire pit overlooking the water.

Gorgeous location

What an adorable cottage. We loved sleeping with the ocean right outside the door and it was a quick walk to the beach and restaurants. We had a great time. Plus there was a bald eagle hanging out in the tree so how can you beat that?

Wonderful seaside cottage

We had a terrific time in this cute cottage with ample space and lovely ocean views. The marshmallow roasting at night and the quick access to pebble beach during the day made fantastic memories of our time together as well as the walks to York shops. We’ll be returning soon 😊

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Perfect spot for my wife and I to get away kid free for our anniversary. Waking up and going to bed with the crashing of the waves and peacefulness of not having a public beach near was priceless. Would come back in a heartbeat and for mid October we really lucked out with some amazing weather.

great place

Cottage is small but comfortable and cozy with all the essentials at hand. The neighborhood was quiet (at least during October), walking distance to York shops etc., and also a good place to head out to more distant spots (Ogunquit, Kennebunk etc.). Waterfront location and ocean view was beautiful -- views of two lighthouses and lovely coastline! Loved listening to the crashing waves and the bell buoey. The fireplace was perfect for cozy October evenings.

If it weren’t for the mice…

I’ll start with the negative. The kitchen has a mice problem. There were mice turds on the counters/sink each morning even though we kept the area clean. The property manager and maintenance were very helpful/quick response to try to address the issue with traps, but the mice were pretty resilient. The inside of the house smelled of chemical cleaning supplies when we arrived, but quickly aired out with windows open. The front yard was very muddy the entire weekend with some small amounts of rain, so a better layout for the entryway would be helpful. Very limited supplies, so bring plenty of your own soaps, shampoo, pantry supplies. Aside from the above we had a lovely stay. Pictures don’t do the property justice. Stunning views, wonderful walkable location to the busy part of York, but far enough to be quiet. Tide pools were fun for the kids. Beds were comfortable. Sea breeze, sounds of waves & birds were lovely. Noisy neighbor dogs barked, but only when we walked by.

Hi Aiyana! Thank you for providing us with such a thoughtful review. We are so sorry to hear that you encountered some mice during your stay. We can confirm that the cottage is treated for mice, however, it is not always a quick fix. Since this home is a cottage in Maine, field mice may sneak in on occasion. As for the supplies and amenities, we provide a starter supply of amenities. This includes cleaning products, toiletries, and paper products. Any additional supplies needed throughout your time is the responsibility of our guests. We will be sure to pass along your suggestion for a better walkway to the owner. Thank you for staying with us! We hope to host you again in the future.

Second time at the Sea Belle

You can’t beat the view at this delightful little cottage right on the ocean. While it’s small, once you’ve stayed on the ocean you can’t go back to those places two or three blocks away from the ocean. We will be back a third time!

We Loved the views, bell buoy and rocky beach just steps away. The house has all the essentials you'd need on vacation and the location could not be better. We loved seeing lobster boats in the morning and Nubble lighthouse in the distance.

Cute Cottage

Loved the coziness of this cottage! Beautiful ocean views! Super clean. Short 15 min walk to town and to the beach. Such friendly people. Great spot for a long weekend. Make sure you check out the York Trolley. It was a very informative 1 hour ride. Make reservations online. It was an unforgettable trip!

In the midst of a pandemic this cottage was an oasis! It was very clean and beautifully situated. And the State of Maine is doing it right with regards to masking and social distancing. I haven't felt so safe and relaxed in months! We will be back to the Sea Belle.
