Family get away
This is our second year renting this house and it continues to be our favorite! Plenty of space for 15 pple (this includes children) to spread out. We’ve never seen a better stocked kitchen!! Everything you would think you’d need can be found in one of the cabinets.

On the beach
The house was perfect for our needs. The absolutely wonderful location, right on the beach and walking distance to shops, is ideal. The house was very clean and well organized, and we didn't lack for anything. .We did have difficulty with the wifi one day, but the owners responded right away and the issue was taken care of immediately. I would definitely stay again! ps I found it a bit irritating that we needed to strip the beds and start the towel laundry, especially given that we pay for cleaning services.

Wonderful Home
We really enjoyed staying in this home, perfect location. Would highly recommend. On arrival we did find 4 unlocked windows. 3 downstairs and 1 upstairs. Just something to check. Also the folded extra blanket on the king size bed needed to be washed. There was some sort of stain on it.

September Reunion
We enjoyed the location. We were able to walk along Short Sand Beach to the town. We walked to the nubble Lighthouse, although it is on a busy road so others might choose to drive. We also walked to Long Sand Beach. The kitchen was well stocked. Because we were 6 units the house worked really well for our group.

“Simply the Best”
This beach home has everything you need & then some! The accommodations matched up nicely with our multigenerational family. Bedrooms downstairs for the older folks and a game room for the young and young at heart! The location absolutely can’t be beat! We loved being just a few steps from the beach as well as the arcade, bowling, little shops, and of course ice cream! We also enjoyed listening to the band concerts from the comfort of the side deck. This home is the perfect place for making many fun Maine memories!

Heaven on earth
This beach home does not disappoint. It was our 3rd year in a row renting this property for our 2 week family vacation. It is truly home away from home. Cannot beat the oceanside location. We had ages 1 yr to 89 with us and it works for all!

Great time!
The pics matched the house and the location was great for easy walks to the beach as well as good time with family and friends. When we needed to get in touch with the owners about house needs, they were communicative and prompt and sent help right away. Would recommend this location for your vacay!

Something for everyone
We loved our time spent at this beachfront gem! The location can’t be beat… a short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Great for our teenagers who were always on the move and who took full advantage of the game room, and for my older parents who loved sitting on the deck with their morning coffee enjoying the view. The house was clean and well-appointed… we made good use of the beach chairs, beach towels and lobster pots. Would definitely come back!!

Amazing!
I’ve been visiting York for the past fifteen years, and have stayed in a number of rentals. I don’t think I’ll ever find a better location than this house. The proximity to short sands and downtown is ideal, especially for those with kids. The owners were delightful and responsive. I have nothing but good things to say about our stay!

Great family getaway.
My spouse and 7 adult family members comfortably stayed in this house without feeling on top of each other. The location was perfect. Walking distance to shops, restaurants in York but also incredible views right from the deck. We could not have picked a better house for our family.

Great family weekend away!
Our family of 9 adults enjoyed a relaxing long weekend in York. The house perfectly accommodated all of us. There was plenty of space, comfortable bedrooms and everything we needed was easily assessable. The location is perfect - right on the beach! And restaurants and shopping are minutes away. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Excellent Beach House
This was a beautiful, tidy, spacious beach house with amazing views of Short Sands beach. We loved the house and it was perfect for our extended family. The little kids (5&6) loved the toys and the adults loved the puzzles. The Kitchen had many amenities and was a pleasure to cook in. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and we'd love to come back some day.

Family reunion in the off season!
We had an incredible stay at this VRBO! The house is not only beautifully renovated and spacious, offering the perfect blend of communal areas and private retreats, but it's also located just across from Short Sands Beach, providing breathtaking ocean views from nearly every window. The responsiveness of the hosts added to our seamless experience. The game room in the garage was a delightful bonus that everyone enjoyed. This home is an ideal choice for a family reunion, especially in the off-season. Highly recommend for a memorable family getaway

Location can’t be beat
We very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house, which is basically right on Short Sands Beach. We had everything we needed, and the house was clean and cozy. We had plenty of space, and everyone enjoyed having their own bedroom. We loved being directly across from the water, and you can see the ocean from most rooms in the house, which was amazing. Our kids also loved the game room! We hope to return to enjoy some sunshine in the summer months! Thank you!

Gorgeous beachfront house
We’ve stayed as a family at a number of VRBO properties and this one ranks at the top for sure. There was so much room to spread out, the home is well-maintained and the location is perfect right at the beach. The game room was a lot of fun and a nice perk! The owners were super responsive to questions and very accommodating. Highly recommend!
