Wonderful Stay. Home owner was extremely pleasant.

House was spotless and a 5 minutes walk to York Beach. The home owner Caitlin was wonderful and we really appreciated her caring demeanor.

Hi Lynn, Thank you for the review and for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I love that you had three generations together on your beach vacation. Your grandson will cherish these memories for a lifetime. We appreciate how clean you left the property and we know you took great care of the house. We look forward to welcoming you back in summer 2019. Caitlin

Lovely home and location!

Caitlin is a very accommodating host. The rooms were larger than expected, very comfortable, very clean, on a quiet street with a certain degree of privacy. The short walk to the beautiful beach is a bonus. Conveniently located, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport are a short drive away. Of course, Nubble Lighthouse is a must see too! We had a wonderful vacation and highly recommend this property.

Great house and wonderful family time

We communicated with Caitlin before our arrival and she answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. Upon arrival, the house was extremely clean and pleasant. The porch is awesome (as described) for morning coffee and evening wine! We loved being able to walk to quickly walk to the beach and come back and forth as we pleased. A couple of things to note - we made lobsters one night (there is a lobster pot!) but no crackers. Also, if traveling with a family with kids, would recommend bringing a wagon for beach chairs/toys/towels/cooler/etc. or driving to drop everything off. It's not a far walk by any means, but with all of that stuff you need a few adults! There is a nice shed for storing the wagon/beach accessories for the week. We used the grill a few times and that was great. We enjoyed dinner one night at Stones Throw and it was delicious!

Hi Becky, Thank you for the thoughtful review. I am happy you enjoyed the house and I am happy you enjoyed your stay. I hope you were able to relax with your family and make wonderful memories. Thank you also for the letting me know about the lobster crackers! We tracked down the lobster pot but forgot the crackers. Upon your review, I will make sure to have these at the house for the next renters. You also bring up a great point about a wagon for travel to the beach. We will try to get something for next season. Great suggestion! We too enjoy the Stones Throw for dinner. Thank you for leaving the house so nice as well. We would welcome your family back anytime. Caitlin

Great stay

We enjoyed a wonderful vacation in York at this house. We loved how quick the walk was from the house to the beach on long sands and was just a quick drive to short sands. The house was even better than the pictures and the porch was perfect for having morning coffee and playing cards. There was everything you would need for cooking in the kitchen. We also loved how quiet and private the road was so our little one could go on walks with us and we didn’t worry about cars zooming by. Wonderful place to stay!

Great vacation!

What a wonderful vacation experience! The property was exactly as described and so clean and nicely decorated. The short walk to the beach allowed for nice family time and the neighborhood was friendly and welcoming. Long Sands beach was amazing. The view of the Nubble Lighthouse was a beautiful sight. All contact with the owner was helpful and timely. Can’t think of one complaint, except it wasn’t long enough. Looking forward to next year already! Thank you!!

Great house! Fantastic location.

My family and I came up for a week in Maine and were so happy we booked this house. The house is great for being together for a family meal and yet large enough for you to enjoy some quiet time alone. 5 minute walk to Long Sands and the trolley stop to go into Short Sands. The owner is accommodating and great to deal with. You can tell from the moment you walk in that this a home not just beach house for rent. The neighborhood is quiet and the porch is amazing to just sit and relax with a nice book and a glass of wine. My only reservation for leaving this review is that my week might not be available next year because everyone will learn how wonderful this house is LOL 😉

Hi Rene, Thank you for the wonderful review. You were an amazing guest to have at our property. I appreciate your careful review of the property and your initial text to let me know about the missing key. I am happy to report we are getting a new floor in the bathroom this fall. Also if you do decide to rent again next summer, the washer/dryer are brand new and working great now! We would welcome your family back anytime. You left the house spotless! I agree with you, my favorite place is the front porch with coffee or a glass of wine. It really feels like vacation. All the best, Caitlin
