Charming cottage with washer/dryer and patio - walk to Long Sands Beach

The Cottage at Long Sands

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Swim, windsurf, and sunbathe all summer long at this York cottage - a family-friendly Maine escape with a private patio and an unbeatable location about a block from Long Sands Beach!

The perfect retreat for a family or a group of couples, this quaint, two-story cottage situates you within walking distance of the san and waves. Take sunrise walks along the shoreline toward the Nubble Light to the north, watch the boats come and go from York Harbor two miles south, and sample the darling eateries in the York Historic District one mile west.

Greet the morning sun in the remodeled living space, where you'll find free WiFi, window air-conditioning units (in the living room and three bedrooms), and a country kitchen with double ovens to assist with breakfast. In the summer, grab the beach chairs and a towel from the washer/dryer on your way out the door, and return home for lunch on the gas grill (available seasonally), a board game on the patio, and a movie or two in the living room on the cable TV.

Nice Little Cottage
Centrally located for our sister’s shopping weekend, plenty of room for 5 of us. House was clean with the exception of the area rugs - they could stand a deep cleaning. Would stay here again

Yoga Retreat
This was a perfect location for a small yoga retreat. The house was perfect, and the living room was the perfect size to set up our yoga classes. It was wonderful to be within walking distance of the ocean and we wouldn’t love to stay at this house again!

Reunion in York Beach
Very convient so we could walk the beach twice a day (or more), cozy cottage for our sibling reunion. We are all in our 80’s and have not had vacation together in 10 years. We would book again thru VRBO as it was just as described.

Annual Christmas shopping trip
On arrival property very clean. Amenities as advertised. Excellent location. Comfortable beds and couches. Overall we had a great time. Couple of small issues; Roku on tv difficult to use due to unfamiliarity with program, and could not get any regular network tv. Wood on floor between living room and dining area is broken , in two pieces and not secured to the floor any more. And clearly a trip hazard.

Beach house
This property has a great location. Walking distance to the beach. Besides that it was in okay condition and had adequate amenities (TV, Kitchen, etc). The ceilings upstairs are a little short so if you are 6ft or above that is definitely a consideration to keep in mind. Downstairs though had plenty of room, good furniture and there were window AC units in every room that were very helpful.

Charming cottage
We enjoyed staying in the cottage. The location is ideal for exploring the sights in Southern Maine. Beds were comfortable and the place was spacious for our group of four women. Beach was less than a block away.

Wonderful coastal cottage
The cozy cottage offers more space than it looks from the outside. The kitchen is well-equipped, and it included a big dining table. The large living room was a great gathering place for our group of five adults. We loved the location--just a few steps away from the ocean, where we were able to walk for a good distance in either direction. The cottage also offers good proximity to Portsmouth and Ogunquit.

Great location
The cottage is ideally located near a beautiful beach. Bedsheets, bathroomes, fridge and stove were sparkling clean. However, kitchen cabinets, kitchen ceiling fan and stairway carpet need a serions clean up. We had great weather and thorougly enjoyed thé beach and the region.

The house’s setting was not good. Pictures were misleading
The interior of the house itself was great. Salacious, good amenities and it was a block from the beach. The unfortunate part is that it was part of a trailer park. So google the address first to see if the setting appeals to you. From the pictures it seemed that the house stood independently from any other houses but intact it was sandwiched in two sides. Overall for the short stay it was ok but had that been a longer term rental it would have been an issue
