Traditional Centrally Located Cottage...walk to downtown and beaches

Welcome to your charming coastal retreat in York, Maine! This rustic, traditional cottage blends old-world character with modern essentials—perfect for families or couples looking to enjoy Maine's beautiful shoreline.

Inside, the cottage features two cozy bedrooms plus a loft accessed by a ladder—ideal for older kids or adventurous guests. The living room includes a pull-out sofa for additional sleeping space (note that using it will reduce common area space).

Treat yourself to fresh lobster rolls, creamy clam chowder, and don't miss a stop at Goldenrod for their famous saltwater taffy. Historic Cape Neddick Light (Nubble Light) is just a short bike ride away.

You can’t beat the location, it’s a very short walk to the beach. The area busy but quiet it’s a great place to relax after a long day at the beach. My areas of opportunity are the bed in the room closest to the front was brutal to sleep on. Both myself and my boyfriend had a hard time sleeping on it we kept comparing it to cardboard. The bathroom could use a quick update in my opinion. There was a floor mat that looked like it had never been washed and it made the whole bathroom feel dirty. Having the loft was great and really helped open up the space. The ladder was a big source of entertainment for the kids. My advice is to get a new mattress and bathroom mat.

More of an old camp than cottage, needs updating . Impossible check in, never got key til last minute, code didn’t work. Service help didn’t follow through. Think this is a multi layered owner and manager and local service, no one knows what’s going on.Host response to issues was a meaningless AI generated note.Photos must be old, not representative.

The location and check in process was excellent. We had everything that we could need, which was great! The room could’ve been more-thoroughly cleaned and could benefit from an AC unit.
