About this property

Short walk to Short Sands and Long Sands Beaches! Affordable vacation in York!

Welcome to Crowes Cottages! Located between the beaches, these charming cottages provide a rare opportunity for the perfect vacation in Maine. We have blended together rustic style cottages with modern amenities to make for a relaxed and comfortable week (or two!) at the seacoast, reminiscent of the way life used to be or as we say in Maine, "the way life should be". Crowes Cottages has been a family destination for over 40 years in York Beach. We feel very fortunate to have recently purchased the property from the "Crowe" family and feel confident we can provide wonderful family experiences for the next 40 years! Our foundation will be great customer service that will lead to great rental experiences here at Crowes! We bring over 14 years of experience managing other rentals in York Beach, with a proven track record of ensuring clean, well appointed units that will exceed guests expectations.

Boasting 2 bedrooms, applianced kitchens and located in a very short walk to both Long Sands and Short Sands. These cottages are rustic, and affordable in price. Please be prepared to bring your own linen and towels. Also, we do not provide pantry items such as condiments. The showers are small stall showers and we do have an outdoor enclosed shower that has hot and cold water. Whatever you decide to do, enjoy our comfortable cottages as your home base. We also provide picnic benches for outdoor dining and there is parking for two cars. On the property we provide horseshoes, room for the kids to play and a couple of charcoal grills. Each cottage has 1 AC window unit. Come, park and play!

Crowes is located so close to everything you can literally park the car and leave it for the week while you enjoy walking to two beaches and downtown York Beach. If you are familiar with the Short Sands area, then you know there is plenty for everyone to do. Of course there is a sandy beach, but also a large new modern playground and volleyball court being completed for the 2024 summer season, penny candy, casual and fine dining options and of course, ice cream shops! York Beach is unique in that it offers entertainment for the family that will remind you of yesteryear. York's Wild Kingdom is a small amusement park with a very nice zoo. Check out the gazebo near the ocean and enjoy the weekly live music while the kids are at the arcade or bowling!

We will do our absolute best to ensure you love your time here and want to come back year after year.

Fun at York Beach

The cottage was cute, very clean and had everything we needed. We really liked the location. It was so close to everything. We'll all come again.

Efficient and economical accommodations

The cottage was clean and comfortable. Check in was very easy. Cottages are very convenient to beaches and York Beach village. The refrigerator door did not close tightly, I did send an email to the property manager noting that. Kitchen was lacking a good kitchen knife, and a little more shelving would have been helpful. Overall, we enjoyed the cottage and would definitely stay again.

A little slice of heaven in Crowe's Cottage 2

The second we drove into the driveway, we were charmed by the atmosphere. It was like camping, but in a little cottage. The place was small, as expected, but absolutely perfect for our needs. The fact that dogs are allowed just made this the dream spot for our week away. All of the other tenants were super friendly. Even though the spots were close, everyone was still very respectful of the other's space. The other dogs staying were also well behaved. I would absolutely stay again.

Vacation

We enjoyed our stay there very much!! Cottage was so cute and cozy!! We will definitely come back there again!! The only thing that we didn’t like too much was that there was issues with the toilet and it never would flush hardly ever and then the sewer water would come up into the shower drain and into the bathroom sink and kitchen sink so it was very inconvenient but I did call the manager and she had someone come the next day but unfortunately it didn’t solve the problem. But that was the only issue that was wrong so I’m sure that they are going to resolve that issue for the next clients!! It still didn’t ruin our vacation and we will still rent from them again!! Very cute place and very clean place
