Between Two Sands | A Private Woodland Retreat Just Steps from York Beach

Welcome to Between Two Sands, a place that's a little unexpected for York Beach.

Tucked away on a quiet private road off another quiet private road, our home feels more like a mountain retreat than a beach house. Surrounded by trees and nature, you'll enjoy a peaceful setting where you can relax on the screened porch, gather around the fire pit, and listen to the sounds of summer evenings.

Yet despite the privacy, you're just a short walk from everything.

0.2 miles to Long Sands Beach
0.3 miles to York's Wild Kingdom
0.6 miles to Short Sands Beach, restaurants, shops, arcade, and summer events

Many guests arrive, park their car, and don't need it again until it's time to head home.

The Home

Designed for families and groups, this bright and welcoming 4-bedroom home comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests.

The main floor features a comfortable living room, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen that opens to the heart of the home, making it easy for everyone to stay connected whether they're preparing meals, playing games, or relaxing after a day at the beach.

The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and everyday essentials, and includes a large sink and garbage disposal to make cleanup easy.

A first-floor queen bedroom and full bathroom offer convenience for guests who prefer fewer stairs.

Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms and a half bath, providing plenty of space for families and multi-generational groups.

Sleeping Arrangements

First Floor

Bedroom 1: Queen bed, TV, window A/C

Second Floor

Bedroom 2: Queen bed, window A/C
Bedroom 3: Queen bed, TV, window A/C
Bedroom 4: Queen bed plus twin-over-full bunk bed, window A/C

Sleeps up to 10 guests comfortably.

Outdoor Living

One of our favorite parts of the property is the outdoor space.

After a day at Long Sands Beach, rinse off in the hot/cold outdoor shower and spend the evening relaxing outdoors. Enjoy dinner on the screened porch, challenge the family to lawn games, roast marshmallows around the fire pit, or simply sit back and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The large yard provides plenty of room for kids to play while adults unwind nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Amy & Kevin York

Host profile image
My husband and I live with our 2 young kids (6 and 4) north of Boston. I grew up in the Greater Boston area and my husband grew up in Northern Indiana. We met while we were both living in San Francisco and came back to the Boston area in 2014 to build a family together.

Why they chose this property

I promise it's more than the fact that York is our last name... :)

Since my husband and I met, we have spent summers up in York, ME. When we decided that we wanted to invest in a second home in the area, we were looking for the perfect place for our family and other families as well. When we found this house, we felt as if we hit the jackpot. It's on a very quiet road that provides a space for our kids to go and play outside with no fear of traffic. And while it's on this quiet road, it's also a short walk to the beaches and the downtown area. It really is the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

The screened in porch is amazing. I love sitting out there at night, plugging in the strung lights and playing a game with family and friends while listening to the waves crash in the distance. It's also my happy place in the morning to sip on a cup of coffee before all the chaos of the day begins.

The outdoor shower is another delight. With a waterfall shower head and a hand held shower head to help wash off the sand, it is everything we hoped it would be!
