Great Little Cottage

The cottage was great ! Just perfect for two, but will sleep more. The location was great right across the road from the beach and everything was in walking distance. The owners we're very kind and gracious. We would highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay again.

Wonderful time

We had a wonderfull time. Clean, simple and a 2 min walk to the sand. Laura and her husband are great hosts. The front porch at the main inn is a great way to relax while listnening to the music on the bandstand accross the street. See you again!

Small and sweet

My 11 y/o son and I spent the week in this cute cabin. It was perfect for the two of us. Great location. Walking distance to Short Sands (across the street) and the little downtown (2 blocks). There were music festivals on the green twice during the week. Molly Os was our daily breakfast spot. The General Store had yummy sandwiches to bring to the beach.

End of Summer vacation

Was nice, but think they could have more updated furniture/ essentials. Have to bring your own linen, cheap 4 cup Mr. Coffee pot, have to bring own toilet paper and no washes/ shampoos etc provided. Think the listing needs to say this.

Highly recommend!

We loved staying in the cottage. It was the perfect amount of space, great location - park your car and don’t move it for a week if you don’t want to! The host was awesome and easy to get in touch with when we had any questions. Will be staying here next year!

The best vacation!

We had a great week at the Diane. The location couldn’t have been more perfect and we lucked out with a beautiful week of weather. What was nice was if I had to feed my 4 month old, I had the option to walk back to the house to feed him or change him if I wanted to, and the house was closer than walking to the bathhouse so we could go back to use the bathroom as well. It was so nice being close to the restaurants downtown and shops. Laura responded very quickly and was a great host! We look forward to coming back next year!

The Diane cottage is the perfect location in a quiet neighborhood with breezes from the beach and close to everything in Short Sands Beach. Perfect for couples or small family.

Cozy cottage, friendly host and great location!

We had a great time at Laura's cozy cottage. It was as pictured, big enough for the two of us and you can't beat the location. The cottage is just off the main street which made it surprisingly quiet even though you are only a short 5 min walk to town and short sands beach. Long sands was also only 10 min walk and we also loved sitting on the porch of the main manor taking in the view. Laura was very responsive to our questions and we enjoyed meeting her Dad and hearing the family history of the property.

Perfect Beach Vacation Spot

We stayed for a week, and loved every minute of it. The owners were always accessible and extremely nice. We spent a few nights on the front porch of the York Manor listening to music at the gazebo. We walked to the Nubble Lighthouse every morning, and spent our days at Short Sands. The proximity to town was perfect, everything within walking distance. The cottage is adorable, perfect for a couple. We will definitely be back!

Excellent comfortable cottage

Excellent location. Steps to Short Sands beach. Less than 5 minute walk to center York shops and eateries. Nice walk to Long Sands. Cottage very comfortable. Bright and sunny with little front porch. AC/heat if needed. Comfortable bed. Roku TV confusing, but maybe that's me. Wanted a card table for puzzles and the host's dad quickly brought one. Stayed for 4 weeks and loved every minute. Will definitely go back.

Cute cottage!

As advertised, it is just across the street from the park and Short Sands beach. I had an issue with the heat and the owners responded right away and replaced it. They also followed up to make sure everything was good. We will stAy with them again for sure!

Steps to everything

Lovely little cottage was the perfect spot to enjoy Short Sands. We were able to walk just across the street through the gazebo at Ellis Park and have our toes in the sand! Cottage was clean & cozy. Would love to stay again.

Perfect beach cottage!

Very cute clean cottage. The bed was extremely comfortable! Great location, 2 minute walk to the beach & downtown. Added bonus that we could hear the bands at the gazebo from the front porch.
