About this property

No need to choose which beach to go to in York. "2 Beach Coastal Cottage" is between both beaches! Charming cedar shingled cottage style house is a street away from Short Sands and walking distance from Long Sands Beach, you'll agree this house is the PERFECT LOCATION. This is a full sized stand alone 2 bedroom house (not a condo or part of a house). With all rooms on one floor, this is a great option for all. There is a small back yard where you can use the GAS Grill every night for easy meals on the outdoor table. And rinse off after the beach in new OUTDOOR Shower!

Large bright enclosed front porch welcomes you to this classic beach cottage where you have plenty of room to hang-out after and even have a bite to eat at the table for 6, before or after a great day at the beach.

Once inside, the blue and green colors of sea glass welcome you home every day when you step inside. The beach-themed living room with pull out couch (if a friend stops by), TV and WiFi is a great place to relax. On those rare crazy hot days, the AIR-CONDITIONER will help you cool off.

The coastal style dinning room with built-in china hutch can sit up to 6 for dinner. You'll enjoy the cool breeze of the ceiling fan as you enjoy you meals together.

Both bedrooms cheerfully painted with real wood floors! The Primary bedroom has a Queen size bed and the 2nd bedroom has a Full bed and Single bed.

This sunny kitchen also has a WASHING MACHINE and the mud room right beside it has the DRYER. The back entrance makes unloading groceries and going to the beach a breeze!

So close to the playgroup and the downtown shops and a few blocks from Long Sands Beach. Walking distance to Nubble Lighthouse. Just walk down the hill to enjoy all of downtown York Beach, with its bandstand, Ellis Park, playground, basketball courts, shops, and Goldenrod taffy!

We also have driveway parking for 2 cars.

We do NOT allow guests to bring pets regardless of size, fur/hair, training or age of pet. Thank you.

We also own a larger 3 bedroom house, next door, called "Best of Both Beaches" which are available too. Please ask for info and pictures if you are interested.

Winter Rentals (6 month minimum) available October-May, but does not include heat, Wifi, cable tv or snow removal. One month security required with 90+ day rental.

Perfect location!

We loved our stay at Sarah’s cottage. It is in the perfect location, within walking distance to short AND long sands, and off the main road just enough to feel more private/quiet. We walked into town and to the beach every day, and it was so nice to be so close. The outdoor shower was great and a nice way to wash away all the sand after a day at the beach. The house felt roomier than I thought it would be. Plenty of space for us and the open layout was perfect for keeping an eye on our daughter while we cooked. We also really loved the front porch and ate most meals out there. Sarah was super responsive and easy to work with. We can’t wait to come back!

Great Location

Great location to both of the beaches. Just a short walk down the hill to the shops and restaurants. The cottage was charming and had all the amenities we needed. Sarah was great with communicating by phone but sadly we did’nt get to meet her. We would rent this cottage again.

Charming and comfortable beach house!

This cute beach house has great amenities and is within walking distance to the beach! The front porch is airy and comfortable. Loved the addition of the outdoor shower. The best part is that it is so close to the beach and downtown but tucked in just enough from the Main Street. Sarah was quick and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.

Great location, great space

This location is great! We were able to walk to both Short Sands and Long Sands. The screened-in porch got a ton of use. Traffic could get a little loud (motorcycles in the summer) but overall we were very happy with this house and landlord.
