Amazing Hospitality

Could not have asked for a better experience staying at the Whiting Cottage for a friends weekend in York. Mark and his family were extremely accommodating and communicative throughout our stay. The property is perfect for large parties, with multiple bathrooms, sitting areas, and kitchens throughout the house. I absolutely would recommend this property for any other large groups and would love to stay here again.

Awesome Home, Great Host

Mark was a great host! Very informative at the start of our 4 day stay that greatly assisted us and our whole crew throughout the weekend. The house is HUGE! It was a great place for a large group while giving everyone their own space so it didn't feel like we were always on top of each other, etc. Thanks Mark!

Spectacular York Harbor vacation!

Every year I bring 15 close family members to York for a week in Jul,. A collection of children and adults, and I am the host. The Whiting Cottage was just perfect! The owners/ hosts were amazingly accessible, considerate and made my whole family feel at home, and the house had plenty of space for everyone to be together or spread out. We are sad to be back home already!!!

The memories we made will be treasured by all of us forever. Mark the host was a pleasure to speak to an answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this rental. Ella

Graduation Celebration

We had a wonderful time gathering as an extended family to celebrate our daughter’s high school graduation at this beautiful home. Everyone being under the same roof with plenty of separate sleeping spaces and bathrooms made our stay so comfortable with endless fun. The home was spotless and extremely well appointed. It was stocked with extra blankets, every kitchen gadget you can imagine, even sugar for your coffee. Our whole family, especially our daughter, will remember our weekend at the Whiting Cottage forever.

Perfect Maine Getaway

This home and the owners are exceptional all around! From pre-arrival communications, unbelievably accommodating upon arrival, and availability at all hours to troubleshoot or give advice during the week we were there! We could not have asked for better hosts! The layout of the home was perfect for our large family. Plenty of room to gather or spread out, prime location close to many great restaurants, beaches and idyllic walks along the coast. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe our experience at this Cottage. We will be back!!!

Amazing home

The house was absolutely perfect for our group of 20 looking for a weekend getaway. The house was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful backyard ideal for lawn games or hanging by the fire pit. Our group also particularly enjoyed relaxing on the balcony and porch during the evenings. The owner Mark was an excellent host; he was both responsive and helpful. He met us at the property and provided a quick tour. He even called afterwards to ensure our stay was comfortable and request and feedback. I would absolutely recommend this home for a larger group looking to get away for a few days.

What a week!

Our crew of 21 (8 adults and 13 kids) have been coming to York for 4 years. This year we needed to find a bigger space and this house couldn’t have been more perfect for our FRamily. Before I get to the details of the home itself, I have to take a moment to commend Mark on being such an amazing host! He truly went above and beyond to make our week special. The house is perfect for large groups. We have 4 separate families in our group so having the space to spread out is nice- but also come together for meals, movies, games, hangouts, etc is awesome. We already booked to come back next summer- can’t wait to continue making memories at this beautiful home.

FIVE-STAR All around!!

The property did not disappoint! It exceeded our hopes and expectations! The host was no small part of that achievement! The house accommodated our group of 13 without even stretching its capacities! We absolutely LOVED our stay, even when it rained most of the day on the Saturday of our getaway weekend. We would come back in an instant, and extend our enjoyment of the house, the property, the easy walk to the Cliff Walk along the Atlantic Coast of Maine, the York shops, the easy access to Outlet stores in Kittery and Freeport! We like to cook, and the kitchen was well-equipped to comfortably support our group, and beyond! Our hosts were beyond welcoming, accommodating, and generous!

Family gathering of 16

The house is large in beautiful location. The many bedrooms and bathrooms and spacious common areas make it ideal for a large family gathering. The massive front porch is a great place to sit relax and watch the world go by. The back deck has a large dining table and the barbecue is big enough to cook for the entire crowd. The beach is an easy stroll along the sidewalk or a short hike along the cliff walk. The owner is the host and a long time resident of the area. He's a nice guy and a good source for recommendations for things to see and do. His son runs a Lobster shop less than ten minutes from the house and they cook up delicious lobster and steamers for take out. I highly recommend the place.

Wonderful for family reunions

Whiting Cottage is a fantastic place for a family reunion! The house itself is well-appointed and extremely comfortable. The dining room is spacious so that everyone fits in one room! The kitchen has everything one needs, and if it isn’t there, superhost Mark acquires it for you within the hour!! (in our case, a steamer pot with spigot). We enjoyed congregating on the wide front porch. Ample room for games in grassy side yard. Best of all was the host— we have never stayed somewhere with a more caring and responsive caretaker. Any problem instantly addressed and fixed asap! Location superb— a short walk to the Cliff Walk. We were all very happy we held our family reunion here!

Wonderful Home for Our Family Reunion

Our extended family spanning three generations thoroughly enjoyed the annual reunion. A major contributing factor was Mark's warm and generous hospitality. From prebooking to throughout our weeklong stay, he was kind, responsive and more than accommodating. The home itself met our needs and preferences so well. We especially appreciated that we could convene as a group in numerous parts of the house, but also enjoy privacy and quiet moments when desired.Of all the vacation home rentals we've been in over the years, the Whiting Cottage's kitchen was the most well stocked we've seen. The gift basket and fresh flowers were welcoming bonuses greeting us upon arrival. A culinary highlight of the week was the lobster meal including lobster bisque from Southern Maine Lobster Company. The York location was perfectly suited for visiting Coastal Maine.Thank you, Kinton family, for sharing your amazingly lovely home. We cherish the wonderful memories that were created during our stay.

Perfect Summer Vacation Home, York ME

Our extended family of 19 enjoyed a memorable week at the Whiting Cottage. Morning walks to Long Sands Beach, lazy beach days at York Harbor, afternoon whiffle ball games in the yard, apps on the deck and family dinners at the dining room table could not have been more perfect! The common areas were used for family game nights, sing alongs and late night story telling. They were also ideal for our special occasion Lobster Bake, hosted by Southern Maine Lobster. The Whiting Cottage was equipped with everything our family needed and more, in order to accommodate ages 3-74! From the moment we booked the Whiting Cottage, until the day we checked out, the Kinton Family was a pleasure to work with as well as get to know. Mark and his family have done it right! They have created a welcoming home for families and we cannot wait to book again for next summer!

Fantastic home for large group near beachs

This large expensive home, which has been recently renovated and was an excellent choice for a large extended family. We were a group of 13 adults and four children and we had plenty of space for all of us to come together for meals, socializing, games, as well as privacy, if desired. This wonderful home was immaculately clean and had all of the amenities we required, and then some. Tom was an excellent host and could not have been more accommodating, polite and did everything possible to ensure our stay was enjoyable. He was a pleasure to work with. The location was excellent as we could walk to one beach within a few minutes or drive to other beaches five minutes away. Likewise, York is within close proximity to Portsmouth, Ogunquit and other wonderful locations along the Maine and New Hampshirite coast. We look forward to returning as soon as possible

Perfect for a Family Wedding Weekend

This was an amazing stay for a family wedding weekend. Lots of folks traveling to meet up and spend some family time together. The house was just as described and was perfect for lots of togetherness and yet had plenty of cozy spots for quiet areas to escape the crowd! All the bathrooms made it simple for everyone to get ready for the big event. Fabulous hospitality! They were also able to accommodate our 18 month old grandchild with a high chair, baby gates and a pack and play! The bedding and towels were top quality and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The house was the cleanest rental we have been in! The fire pit in the backyard was hit, and that front porch was an ideal gathering spot for the whole group, from morning coffee, to cocktails in the afternoon. A wonderful place to celebrate family and have a relaxing and fun long weekend! Thanks for a great stay! Highly recommend!

Daughter’s Wedding

The Whiting House is an absolutely beautiful, clean, well decorated venue. It provided excellent accommodations for my family, the bridal party and our close relatives. The first floor living room wing was used as the bridal suite for wedding preparations for the bride and bridesmaids. The front porch is so large that one side was used for the rehearsal dinner and the other side was filled with outside seating to relax. The large main kitchen allowed for morning coffee and breakfast. Everyone remarked on how lovely and accommodating the venue was for this event. Mark was a wonderful host who communicates well and offered suggestions to help us make wonderful memories for a lifetime. So very grateful to him. His family are very good people and this is a highly recommended venue.

A perfect reunion

We were a group of 17 High School friends from the 60's. We wanted to stay under one roof with privacy, but space for getting together for conversations and group fun. The Whiting Cottage looked perfect with a detailed and complete description. The pictures did not do it justice - it was perfect! The rooms were clean with fresh linen and tasteful decorations. Everything we needed was provided. The Kinton family met us on arrival and answered every question on the tour. We ordered Lobsters and Clams from Tom's Southern Maine Lobster Company and were treated to 5 star feast to rival the Ritz. Mark, Erin, Lauren and Tom could not have been more helpful. Two in the group manage VRBO properties, and this was setting a new standard.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Mark Kinton

Hosted by Mark Kinton

This is our family's venture!
Our roots are from various parts of New England; from Woburn and Arlington, Massachusetts, Hamden, Connecticut, and Dover, New Hampshire, we all made our way to beautiful York, Maine. Our individual paths crossed over the years and we have collectively all been residents of York, Maine for over 30 years. Erin, Mike and Mark have served the public in a variety of ways including the fields of education, law enforcement, and the medical profession. Lauren (owner of The Opal Society), Thomas (co-owner of Southern Maine Lobster Company), and Anna (owner of Anna Grace Design) are all local entrepreneurs and their expertise and services include cosmetology, graphic design and the lobster industry.

We are hard-working people that value family and the relationships with our friends. Over the years, and through life experiences, we have been fortunate to come to understand and appreciate the gifts of humility and gratitude.

We purchased the Whiting Cottage in January 2022. After many hours of hard work, tough decisions, and difficult times we stand on our feet today very proud of our accomplishment. The amount of blood, sweat and tears that went into restoring and “shining up” the property has all been worth it. Knowing this, it was an easy decision for us to want to share its historic charm, elegance, and allure; it is truly timeless. It is our honor to have you as our guests at the Whiting Cottage while you “experience” York with all its history and beauty.
We are vested in this property and take great pride in being able to share it with you.

Please take this opportunity to enjoy this home, the local environment, and the serenity; but most importantly, we respectfully suggest that you do your best to put “work” on hold as you relax and enjoy each other's company. And with that, we humbly share our family motto with you... “The best is yet to come”. We hope you choose the Whiting Cottage for your stay. Enjoy!
