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!

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!

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!

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!!

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.

It was hard to leave this beautiful cottage! We loved being able to walk to the beaches, to the shops and to the Nubble Light from this fabulous location. We also took advantage of doing the puzzles and playing corn hole at the house. The owners are great and very accommodating. We highly recommend staying here!

Amazing Property, Location and Hosts!

Our extended stay at the Blue Hydrangea lived up to all of the positive reviews and yet it still exceeded our expectations! The house felt like a home - well-appointed, comfortable, cozy and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including great beach chairs, an umbrella and a beach cart! The location was perfect - a quiet street with an 8-10 min. walk to either Long Sands or Short Sands beach. The Jacksons were wonderful hosts - friendly and responsive. The Blue Hydrangea and the Jacksons have set a high bar for other VRBO properties! Thanks for a great vacation!

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!
