About this property

Star Of The Sea! Charming 3-bedroom cottage in York!

Sleeps 6, 3 BR`s, breathtaking views of the Nubble and Ocean. You will love it! Star Of The Sea Cottage is located directly across from Dunne's Ice Cream and a quick walk to the most photographed lighthouse in New England, The Nubble Lighthouse! Comfortably sleeping 6, this 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage (+ outdoor shower) is the perfect getaway to Maine. Enjoy the amazing views, convenient location and the comfort of feeling like you are home. The owners of this home have taken exceptional care to provide every amenity you will need and an ultra CLEAN environment. You will love walking in and just escaping into the views of the deep blue ocean and the amazing lighthouse. You will even catch glimpses of our local wildlife as the deer, ducks and sometimes fox come strolling across the lawn! We are so lucky in York. We have 4 beautiful public beaches to choose from, and if that is not enough, take a quick ride to Ogunquit and enjoy that public beach, great shopping and dining as well. Or make a day of it and jump on board a whale watching boat or deep sea fishing vessel in Perkins Cove. If bargain shopping is what you are looking for, we have the great factory outlets in Kittery, just down the road. Come back after a day out and wile away the afternoon with a glass of wine and good book. Be careful...you won't want to leave! Downtown York Beach is about 5 minutes from this conveniently located home. There, you will find many more restaurants, bars, shopping, a great playground for the kids and York's Wild Kingdom. This is a zoo and small amusement park. Play mini-golf, ride the Carousel, see the animals and enjoy some cotton candy. Better yet, stroll to Fox's Restaurant for drinks and dinner but save room for ice cream from the famous Dunne's Ice Cream shop directly across the street! Read our reviews...You can tell this adorable cottage by the sea will be a truly memorable experience!

Long weekend visit

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Star of the Sea Cottage. The view was spectacular of the Nubble Lighthouse and Dunne’s ice cream was just across the street. The cottage was so clean and perfect for our long weekend visit.

Amazing view!!

We loved our stay!! The view and location were amazing (we ate way too much Dunne's ice cream)! The house was so thoughtfully stocked and curated, with little notes and signs to make it really easy to operate everything. Would highly recommend staying here!!

Amazing house in York, ME

This house was absolutely gorgeous. The view was incredible and the pictures, although accurate, did not do it justice. We could not have stayed in a better place. Clean, cozy, comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated! Would highly recommended!!

Great view and very comfy place

Traveling with husband and our two college aged sons for our summer vacation. We switched to this location from another place that was closer to Acadia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Parking was easy, the accommodations were perfect for our family and the views from the porch and living room were perfect. We made daily walks down to the lighthouse at night and it was a peaceful place to sit. Definitely would recommend!

Incredible View

This is the second year in a row we have stayed at Star of the Sea. An incredible view to watch the moon rise at night and the sun rise in the morning. We hope to go again next year!

Not new but super comfortable!

The view and location is great. It's a good 15 minute walk to short sands but if you take Kendall Street, most of the walk has great views of the ocean and not a lot of traffic. The property itself is not luxurious but extremely comfortable and it has everything you need. If I had to find a negative, we would have liked better options to dry our wet bathing suits and towels but I guess the ice cream shop a few steps away compensates for it!

Great spot, wonderful view

Another relaxing stay at this cottage. Walking distance to the lighthouse/park and ice cream shop. Short drive to the beach(es). Fantastic view of the Nubble. Clean space with plenty of amenities. The hotel behind the property hosts outdoor wedding receptions on some weekend evenings. This mostly impacted our visit when it happened on a night too warm to close up all the windows. Music usually started around dinner time and they were always done by 9:30pm. Had a great vacation and look forward to coming back!
