Quintessential Oceanfront Cottage

Quintessential Southern Maine cottage in the center of Cape Neddick harbor with a BOLD view of two lighthouses. Great frontage and private location less than 100 feet from the ocean. Two bedrooms downstairs. Ceiling fans in all downstairs rooms. Fall asleep listening to the sound of the ocean less than 100 feet away at high tide. TV, high speed cable internet, washer and dryer. Deck has rectangular table, matching bench and two chairs with umbrella. Enjoy Breakfast or lunch watching boats hauling in lobsters right in front of you. Recently bald eagles have been nesting in the bay. Large parking lot in back. During low tides children will have fun exploring the numerous tidal pools. A local beach is only 200 yards away. The Town of York Beach is only a mile away. Many fine restaurants in the area including one a short walk across the street. THIS COTTAGE OFFERS THE BEST VIEWS IN MAINE!


Beach locations: There is a small private beach several hundred yards away on the north side of the cottage. The campground behind the cottage uses this beach. 1/2 mile away is the center of York Beach and Short Sands Beach. The gorgeous one and a half mile long Long Sands Beach is only 1.5 miles away. All these beaches are within walking distance or metered parking is available at the later two.

Stores: There is a large Hannefords food store with great selection only 4 miles south on route 1. A little further along are the Kittery Outlets - virtually all name brands at discounted prices. Numerous fine restaurants are within a short drive. These include famous hamburg joints to really upscale places like the Cliff House. I keep a number of menus of places I recommend in a folder in the cottage. The center of York Beach is only a half mile away and has a Funarama, Animal Forest Park, The famous Golden Rod restaurant, and a candy store. There is also a candlepin bowling alley in town. On the other side of Long Sands Beach you will find all the town offices and a Public library. There are free tennis courts open to the public at the high school. There is a private golf course only 2 miles north of the cottage. York Harbor and Ogunquit are about 5 miles away. Deep sea fishing and ocean cruises can be lined up at either place.

History: My great-great-grandfather purchased this cottage in the 1930's. It has been a family treasure ever since. My family and I use it when it is not rented out. It is the most beautiful spot in Maine! Most other coastal property has been renovated with large houses and mansions since the price of the property is so very expensive. This is one of the few small original cottages left in the area. It has all the charm! Notice from the coastal view that it has a comparatively large frontage affording a lot of privacy. The tidal pools in front are a joy to anyone under 12 years old - and an equal joy for you to share with the youngster! We hope that you enjoy your stay at this property as much as we do.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be within walking distance of York's Wild Kingdom. A kitchen and a washer/dryer are available in the cottage.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a washer/dryer and a fireplace
  • 14 minutes on foot from York's Wild Kingdom and a 3-minute drive from Short Sands Beach
Quintessential Oceanfront Cottage offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This York Beach cottage is smoke free.

Ideal oceanfront escape
Thoroughly enjoyable stay, view is brilliant, we loved every minute. Only feedback would be a hammock or chaise would be lovely to lounge in outside, and a pullout sofa could help with family visits because beds are a little cozy. But overall a superb stay!

Truly amazing!
My wife and I had a wonderful week at this cottage. The property is exactly as advertised and the owner was a pleasure to communicate with. We really enjoyed having our breakfast each morning on the deck while taking in the amazing view. The location was very convenient to both York Beach and Ogunquit when we wanted to venture out. And by the way, there was nothing better then listening to the ocean as we fell asleep. Can't wait to go back again.

Lovely private cottage
Pros - older house but location is key - private beach next to RV park was 1000x better than expected - owner allowed dogs but sadly this was the last year, so our pups could enjoy a getaway - house was well stocked with essentials that we only needed to really purchase our food for the week Cons - RV site was a bit louder than expected - unsure if it was due to some weather change but the house was a bit infested with earwigs, which are harmless but it was overwhelming that they were everywhere. Other than that, I would definitely rent again with my family.

Great 4th of July at Cape Neddick
Cottage was great. Large living area with beautiful view! Spent most of our time relaxing and entertaining on front deck. Went to local beaches twice,but was very content to stay right at cottage. WIFI worked great and it was nice at the end of the day go inside and watch the ball game. Thanks Bruce and Meg . Hope to be back.
