We loved this cottage nestled on a quiet side street near Nubble Light House. It was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could want. The large wraparound porch was the perfect location for your morning coffee and we took advantage of its close vicinity to Short Sands by taking several long walks. It was the perfect family vacation at the beach!

The Hosts have thought of everything!
The house actually looked better in person then in the listing— and the listing was attractive! The home was well stocked, it had everything six people would need to spend the day at the beach, and then some. The hosts were amazing. Their communication was timely. Living next door, they were friendly, yet gave us space. We have tried several options over the years for our annual YB vacation and believe we have found “the one”. We will definitely be repeat guests at the Blue Hydrangea!!

Beautiful stay
We had a wonderful stay in this home. Jen was a gracious host and was nearby if we needed anything. We spent a few days on short sands, which was easily walkable with two small kids. Drove to long sands (had to download an app for parking, and get there early if you plan to spend the day). The only thing I wish this house had available is laundry, but we knew about it in advance and packed accordingly. The street is quiet and private, and the neighbors were all very friendly. We hope to come back someday!

Has become a tradition in York
This is our 3rd time staying at this property with our family! First off, the house is pristine- the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. This is an older home with lots of character but updated amenities. The owners live next door and are very communicative and helpful. The house is 5+ minute walk to Short Sands and town with the most beautiful walk. We are always sad to leave!

This was our second time staying at this location and we absolutely love it. It is everything as advertised, is immaculate, and was very comfortable for 5 adults. We love the location with easy access to town and appreciate Jen’s hospitality. We are already hoping to stay here again for our next family reunion in two years.

A Relaxing Stay in a Cozy Home!
This home is beautiful! There was plenty of room, and everything we could need in the kitchen. Reading on the shaded porch or sunning in the backyard- all relaxing! The house is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but right in the middle of everything! Long Sands to the right, Short Sands to the left, and the Nubble Light at the top! Had a relaxing time!

Memorable Family Vacation
This was the first time visiting Maine and the surrounding area for most of the family and we had a blast. The house is exactly as is depicted in the description and is perfect for exploring the surrounding area. It is an easy walk to the Nubble Lighthouse and to Short Sands Beach, which we did almost daily. There are shop’s, restaurants and ice cream within walking distance. The area is great for checking out nearby villages, towns and cities like Portland, Portsmouth NH, York, Kittery, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport. There are also great places nearby to enjoy nature and bird watching. The owners are friendly and attentive. They are easy to talk to and along with the friendly neighbors, you’ll feel right at home when staying at this property. We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves anymore if we had tried.

Perfect Relaxing Week
The rental house was perfect for our family; including two college aged “kids”. The location and neighborhood was perfect; quiet with delightful neighbors but also close to beaches, beautiful walks and short sands just a short walk away. The property was extremely clean, updated and well maintained. We spent lots of time on the front and side porches in the early am. We had a small hiccup with an early am visit by a technician to service the AC. Not the owners fault and they went above and beyond to apologize, including the prompt delivery of a nice bottle of wine. Clearly these are owners that care that their renters enjoy their time at the cottage. We will be returning!!
