Such a lovely cottage!
My mom, sister and I planned a trip for my sister's birthday and feel so lucky that we found this cottage on vrbo. The location is in a lovely and quiet neighborhood, but is walkable to town reataurants, shops, and activities, and to the sandy beach. The cottage is clean and cozy and charming, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well appointed with everything you need for an extended stay. Nearby there is a rocky beach that is such a nice, quiet spot to drink coffee and watch the sunrise. Marion and Gary are the nicest people you could ever hope to rent from. We are so grateful for our stay and sad it had to end.

Perfect location
Our stay here was delightful. Marion and Gary were fantastic hosts! This location is walking distance to Short Sands and a short 2 minute ride to Long sands and to Nubble lighthouse made this location perfect. House amenities were fabulous and property looked great and very clean. Will be back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Marion and Gary Tilton

Host profile image
Gary's family picked family oriented York for their vacation spot from their home in Keene. I'm Gary's wife, Marion, I'm from Bermuda, and a flight attendant. I love the cottage as our whole family does! We find York so interesting and has kept the old fashioned family oriented way, it is fascinating and charming. A great place to vacation year after year. We love it there. We just live 30 minutes away.

Why they chose this property

Family friendly, close to beaches. Several miles from Highway, easy to find. York is a year round town, there are reasons to come here any time of the year! The beaches, antiquing, proximity to Portland, Boston, mountains, ocean, etc!

What makes this property unique

This family friendly area, suitable for all ages. The beach, town, playground. Areas to explore, the White Mountains a few hours beautiful drive away. Shopping outlets in Kittery and Freeport. The Maine coast with spectacular scenery. Fall Foliage and the coast line are a wonderful combination for the walker, painter, photographer, or just want to see what it's all about!
