Dog-friendly, Oceanview Classic Maine Beach Cottage near Short Sands
Classic Maine cottage with period detail, updated for a carefree coastal retreat! Enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean from the large front porch and nearly every room of the house. Walk to Short Sands or Long Sands beaches, Nubble Light, York's Animal Kingdom or to downtown York's best pubs, restaurants and shops.
Comfortable and cute. We loved the big porch in particular. Itâs a bit of a walk to the beach but definitely manageable. We would definitely visit again.
Lovely property that feels very much like home right away. Met all our expectations and is our 2nd time staying there. Weâre already booked for next year. Absolutely ideal place to invite family and friends to visit, or stay a night or two. Spent most of our time on the porch laughing and enjoying the view.
Our children are adults now but they have not lost their love of the beach. This location is amazing. The porch allows for any time bonding, games and just hanging out. The 0.6 walk to short sands or the Nubble is a bonus. We are appreciative of all of the thoughtful extras that the host has available, such as a fully equipt kitchen, extra beach chairs and toys, bed sheets and towels for bath and beach. Really easy check in and check out. You won't be disappointed.
The host replied to all my messages quickly. The house has great location, can see the ocean from the porch. Went with family and one dog, had a great time! House is equipped with all you need - towels, beach chairs, utensils etc. Has three showers and plenty of beds for a bigger group. Definitely recommend!
My family had an amazing family getaway at this property. There was truly nothing lacking. We had 7 adults, one infant, and our pups. It was spacious, well kept, fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The enclosed porch was a real selling feature for us keeping the dogs contained and safe yet outside, not to mention the outstanding ocean view. Sitting by the fire enjoying the view and peaceful setting was a wonderful way to end the night.
Deidra, the host, was phenomenal! She was gracious, informative, and accommodating with every request and responded so promptly. I highly recommend this property with no reservations. Thank you for allowing us to share your special coastal home and build cherished family memories.
The house was perfect for our family, and the location was perfect. The host was extremely responsive to questions. Highest recommendation for a getaway in a beautiful setting!
Lovely property with 4 bedrooms upstairs and master suite on the first floor. Their is a nice size solo stove fire pit with chairs and plenty of firewood great porches either open air or closed in there is also a rollaway and extra bed on the sun porch
This was a wonderful weekend away. We very much enjoyed waking up to ocean views and walking the dogs along the ocean. Our grandson invited a friend who had never been to the ocean. It was wonderful to see his excitement at all the firsts he was able to enjoy.
Excellent house! Loved our stay & definately will stay again. Fabulous view, plenty of room. Needs a few more pots, garbage bags & lighter/matches for the fire pit outside. Other than that, enjoyed our 5 night stay!
Close to all the best local attractions and comfy during the rainy days!
We had a fabulous time. The house is well appointed with all the essentials including AC. The host has all you need to fill your days at the beach as well as quiet days at the house with games and activities. The porch was the local place every day where our family got together and the fire pit was where we spent late nights together. It was perfect!!!
This home is a wonderful place to stay, hang out on the porch and catch up on reading, or venture out to some fabulous restaurants. I love that this place has an ocean view AND allows our pups to join us. And the air conditioning was a great bonus surprise and very much appreciated in the 80-90 degree weather. The owners are very accommodating. Loved returning here and look forward to coming back next year.
The description and reviews were spot on. This is our new annual vacation location to create memories for our kids and grandkids. So happy we found this place. Deidre is a pleasure to deal with. Will be staying again for sure.
My husband and I go and either our kids will come for the whole time or a long weekend. This house being pet friendly is wonderful ffor us. I love it . Have been going up to York for years and have been renting for about 15 years. Deidre is great always gets right back to u with any concerns or just questions.
Our vacation consisted of 6 adults and 4 grand hildren...ages 4,5,6,7. This is the 4th year we have rented the "Yellow House" (our grandchildren named that and has stuck with all of us. We had a wonderful time. Diedre is a great host. The house has been always neat, clean and kept up including the landscaping. She is also very responsible to any issues. We called about a cracked leg on the bunk bed...Diedre called back and said she was replacing the bed...5hrs later a new bed was installed and the old bed removed!! We are renting the Yellow House again next year.
We had a great time in York. We were there for a local college graduation and the house was plenty big for our three families. We enjoyed a lobster dinner on the front porch, overlooking short sands beach! What can be better. Thanks for a fabulous stay!
Great house. Ocean view is lovely. House is warm and cozy but plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen was welll stocked with cooking tools, dishes, cups, glasses and cookware. Beds were comfy and sheets soft and luxurious. Will definitely stay again!
We choose our homes based on location and this is superb! Not only is it a short walk to Short Sands (5 minutes) but you can sit on the expansive front porch with a cup of tea or glass of wine, stare at the ocean and feel that you are away from it all without going anywhere! Of course if you do want to get up and go - Long Sands and the Nubble are a short walk or drive and the artistic town of Ogunquit with its award winning beaches, shops and restaurants are a short 10 minute drive. The Moonstruck is brand new to us though her bones are many years old (she was built in 1890); we have spent 2020/2021 renovating her to make her a perfectly modern comfortable retreat while preserving all of her character & charm. Her updates include central air!
