Welcome to Okie Doke, a bright, inviting four-bedroom home tucked into the heart of York’s Nubble Peninsula. Perfectly located between Short Sands Beach and Long Sands Beach, Okie Doke offers the best of both worlds — close to the lively beach scene, yet nestled far enough away to enjoy complete peace and privacy. It’s the perfect home base for families and friends seeking a true Maine getaway filled with relaxation, connection, and seaside charm.
Where Outdoor Memories Are Made -
From the moment you arrive, Okie Doke invites you to slow down and unwind. The side deck, complete with a gas grill, leads to a charming rocky backyard oasis where evenings come alive. Picture family and friends gathered around the chiminea, toes warm by the fire as the last glow of sunset fades over the treetops. The sound of laughter mingles with the crackle of the flames — stories from the day retold over toasted marshmallows and chilled glasses of wine. It’s the kind of night that defines summer in Maine.
A Home Meant for Togetherness -
Inside, the open-concept kitchen and dining area makes every meal a moment to remember. Imagine fresh lobster dinners shared around the long dining table, the scent of butter and sea salt filling the air, followed by board games or late-night conversations in the cozy living room. The décor is simple and welcoming, designed for easy comfort after a day spent exploring Nubble Lighthouse, enjoying dinner at Fox’s Lobster House, or indulging in a cone from Dunne’s Ice Cream just up the road.
Comfortable and Spacious Accommodations -
The first floor features a double twin bedroom and a junior king primary, both connected by a shared full bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find a large primary bedroom and another guest room with a queen bed and two twin beds, perfect for families with children. These two rooms share a second full bathroom, offering plenty of space and privacy for everyone.
Simple Comforts, Thoughtful Details -
After a long beach day, rinse the sand away in the outdoor shower tucked beneath the deck — a favorite feature for guests of all ages. The washer and dryer in the unfinished basement make longer stays a breeze, and the easy indoor-outdoor flow of the home ensures that every part of your stay feels effortless and relaxed.
Whether you’re watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the deck, sharing dinner by candlelight as the ocean breeze drifts through the windows, or laughing under the stars beside the chiminea, Okie Doke is the kind of place that reminds you what vacation is meant to feel like — simple, joyful, and full of moments that linger long after you leave.
