Great little cabin

Don't worry about the A/C: it was very hot and humid when we arrived but the mini split cooled everything down quickly. We only used one bedroom, so can't comment on the comfort of the others. Location is terrific. Owners were very responsive, communicative and helpful

Great location, great house, super neighbors

We thought the house was adorable on-line and loved it even more on arrival. It’s a wonderful, open and light space, nicely decorated, and an easy walk to the beach. The house is very close to neighboring houses, but somehow still feels private and the neighbors were very nice and helpful. Great overall location and week for our family.

Great Rental!

We have been vacationing in Southern Maine for many many years, we have rented a few homes in the area over the years and this rental was better than most. The location is wonderful, they state 5 minute walk to beach, but it doesn't feel more than 1 or 2 minutes, perfect location on Long Sands, close to the bathroom and multiple eating and shopping locations. The size and look of the house matched the online description and pictures so we were very happy to get what we paid for. There is plenty of room, no one felt on top of each other after a day at the beach. The outdoor shower is a great touch to rinse the sand after a beach day and we were very pleased there was a wagon at the property to cart all our stuff on the walk to the beach. Communication with the owners was great, they were available to us if needed and they were so sweet to send information on York/York area dining and activities prior to our trip. We will definitely be looking to rent this property again!

Fun in the sun and surf!

The property location was great! The owners are very responsive. The outdoor shower was great especially after a day at the beach. The no towels or bed sheets thing was a bummer but okay if it reduces the rent price:) The biggest challenge was that all of the curtains in the bedrooms were white. This didn't keep out any light like early morning sun or neighbor's who keep their lights on all night. There is a skylight right over the bunk bed so my young one woke up with the roosters.

About the host

Hosted by Bill & Beth Keyworth

Beth's ancestor's have been coming to York beach since the 1890's, originally building the Vermont House on Broadway in Cape Neddick and later owning property near Barn Point north of Short Sands. Growing up in the Boston area, her family made frequent summer visits to Long Sands and the Golden Rod while visiting family at Kittery Point.

Bill grew up near the Pacific Ocean and was introduced by Beth to York before they were married. He had an instant fondness for the coast of Maine and they've been bringing their family every year to Moody Beach, Ogunquit, York Beach and Gerrish Island.

Why they chose this property

With the kids grown, married and living far away, Bill & Beth got the cottage for summer gatherings, hoping to occasionally lure the grandchildren back to the roots of their heritage. In searching for the "right" place, they were taken with the obvious love and craftsmanship of the home's renovations over the years ...and its closeness to Long Sands beach .

What makes this property unique

The craft and quality of the cottage's construction is unique and restful. The abundant sunlight, cathedral ceiling, larger bedrooms, bead board paneled walls, and closeness to the beach are immediate draws. The feeling of seclusion on a knoll shared by two other cottages is quite calming ...and these neighbors are great! The recent renovations have brought a tasteful update to the cottage and Bill & Beth are delighted to share their affection for York Beach with their summer guests.
