Overview
The open expanse of Long Sands Beach awaits just down the driveway from this darling cottage in York, where you'll have every essential for a classic summer in Maine. You'll swim, you'll sunbathe, and you'll be welcomed home each afternoon by a sunroom, a small deck, and a private gas grill.
Follow the narrow driveway from Long Beach Avenue to reach this single-level home, which you'll enter by way of the cozy front deck. Step inside to unwind in the window-lined sunroom. There's a washer/dryer in the first bedroom to take care of your swimsuits and towels and a Netflix-equipped TV in the living room for your evening entertainment. Find full-size appliances in the nicely equipped kitchen, a gas grill just outside, and a dining table for four in the sunroom. When it's time to turn in for the evening, there's even window-unit air conditioning in each of the two bedrooms.

The location is great. The house is smallish but light and reasonably well appointed. When we arrived the comforter and the sheets on the bed were sandy to the touch. Not confidence inspiring regarding a thorough cleaning. So we stripped the bed and washed everything. That got us to the foam topper that was so old and dirty that it had the outline of the box spring supports in dirt on the underside. Unfortunately without this the bed was nearly useless. Hard as a brick. The second bed which was a double, had a plastic mattress cover and turning around in bed elicited sounds of a plastic table cloth crinkling under me. Invest in some new beds please. At this nightly price the owner is netting 50 to 60k a year. A new mattress is in the budget I think. While the kitchen was well outfitted, the fridge and freezer compartment reeked of fish (we are on the Main coast, so in itself not too surprising) but an occasional defrost with a deep clean would ensure that the ice cubes dont taste like cowda... And the stove smoked and had a distinct eau de mouse smell when hot. So, overall, a nice location , a charming lil cabin ( the 11 ocean/sea themed wall hangings with the word "beach" notwithstanding), but decidedly dated in some aspects. TV was on its last legs as well, big dark blotches of LCDs on their last legs. Other than that we had a fun time, the beach is wonderful and the house is close enough to the water that you can hear the ocean.
This little cottage is a hidden gem we have been renting for the past few years. Location is great! You can’t get any closer to the beach. Cottage is clean and more than enough room. Can’t wait to book our next vacation. Donna T.
Access to the beach. Very clean & comfortable. Can’t wait to stay again!
Great Lil’ Cottage! Very comfortable and homey. The beach decor is lovely. And you can’t beat how close you are to the beach!
