Welcome to Otis Cottages! These two family-friendly cottages are the perfect choice for a fun-filled family getaway or an exciting trip with your friends.

The large and lush lawn is a great feature no other getaway nearby can offer; there's a picnic table outside which will allow you all to enjoy your meals al fresco.

Treat your family or friends to an escapade they won't ever forget at Ottis Cottages! Book today!

What's nearby:
This location is unbeatable if you compare it to other rentals nearby–you'll be 170 yards away from the ocean and a short two-and-a-half-mile drive or walk from downtown York where dining options, convenience stores, and grocery stores abound. You'll have two incredible beaches nearby; Long Sands, which is two blocks away, and Short Sands, which is two and a half miles away and is the perfect beach to visit with the kids. There you can find a public playground, several basketball courts, and a lush open lawn area. Downtown York boasts a plethora of dining options if you'd like to treat the crew to delicious local meals. Plan a fun, family trip to York's Wild Kingdom, a zoo and amusement park combo! Make sure you visit the Nubble Lighthouse (less than three miles away), which sits on top of the Cape Neddick Nubble, a very small rocky island. It might not be the most impressive lighthouse, but it's a wonderful sight to experience, especially during Christmas. Less than 10 miles away is Mount Agamenticus, which is popular thanks to its hiking and biking trails, and also due to the stunning 360-degree view from the top.

Things to know:
Full kitchen without a dishwasher
Both cottages are located on the same property as the occupied main house.
Both Big Cottage and Little Cottage can be rented separately or together.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.




Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 25 years of age to book. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not what it was made out to be
We were not happy with the property, pictures made it seem bigger than what it was. Very old inside, shower leaked in the main house, a chair broke with someone sitting in it, hurt her back. Very musty smelling, furniture old. We did not like that the owner lived right on the property, felt liked we we’re always being watched coming & going. Old plastic roped tablecloth on the table, not cleaned very well, pails in bedroom still had garbage in them. Would not recommend 😔
