We had a wonderful time staying at this beach home. The home was very clean and comfortable, and the host was easy to work with. We walked to the beach every day, walked to the quaint downtown shops and eateries, and walked to the brewery at the end of the road. The host provided many beach items such as a beach umbrella and a wagon which really came in handy. Our grandchildren loved the bunk bed and the many toys and books in the home. It was an awesome family vacation!!

The house was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a relaxing beach vacation. It was very well equipped with kitchen appliances and ice maker. Beautiful yard, with fire pit. And a very convenient outdoor shower! It was really nice having use of children's toys. My 4 year old granddaughter gets bored easily, and there were so many new things for her to use. Our host Amy, seemed very invested in our vacation being perfect.

Linda, thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled that you and your family enjoyed your week at Between Two Sands. It means a lot to hear that the house, yard, outdoor shower, and especially the toys helped make your granddaughter’s vacation fun and relaxing. We work hard to make the house feel like a true family beach home rather than just a rental, so your kind words are greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back to York Beach anytime. Thanks again for choosing Between Two Sands!

Great for the beach!

It's a perfect place for a family. Everyone gets their own room, there's plenty of space in the enclosed porch to relax, and it's a short walk to the beach. You can't go wrong!

The house was clean and well appointed. The screened in porch could have used a good cleaning. The beds were all comfortable and the rooms a good size. The kitchen area was nice with new appliances, but we found it difficult to work with two or three people trying to fix a meal. The two beaches were within walking distance, but being elderly my wife and I always drove. The bathrooms were clean and had up to date fixtures. Water pressure was good for showering and bathing. Outdoor shower was a bonus after going to the beach. Washer and dryer combo worked very well. The only glitch with bedding and towels was the lack of( or we couldn’t locate) more hand towels. There also didn’t appear to be extra blankets available for colder nights. We also were disappointed that a vacuum wasn’t available to periodically clean the floors and cloth fabric of living room furniture. Overall our experience was good, communication with owners was good and we’d consider renting again.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Edward. I’m glad you found the house comfortable and enjoyed the outdoor shower. I’m sorry the porch needed attention and that you couldn’t find the hand towels, extra blankets, or vacuum. We would have loved to hear about those things during your stay so we could have helped right away. We appreciate the feedback and would be happy to welcome you back.

Great place to stay!

Been going to York since I was a kid and been in a variety of places. Tried Kevin and Amy's and it was a great fit. Short walk to the beach and town make it perfectly situated for families. Very highly recommended!!

Had a perfect vacation staying in the VRBO. The home ia located in a great spot and is nice & roomy with 4 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. It easily accomodated a family of 6. The kids had a blast with the toys available in the outdoor shed. Short Sands beach and the town of Short Sands was an easy walk from the home. We hope to return soon!

This place is perfect for us. Really quiet and safe for the children (it's on a private dirt road away from the crowds) but a 5-10 minutes walk will bring you to short sands beach or long sand beach, your choice ! The house is super comfortable and everything is there for families. We will be back !
