About this property
Family House on Short Sands Beach
A great family house right on the low-tide line of Short Sands Beach in York, ME. Just steps away from the sand.
The space
There are three bedrooms: two with queen beds and one with a trundle bed. There is a full kitchen, dining room, living room and wrap around farmer's porch. The keys are in the lockbox next to the door. I will send a code before check-in.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire house. The driveway is behind the house on Broadway between the two yellow houses and directly after Airport Drive.
There is a small lawn sign noting the address.
Other things to note
Be ready to be a beach bum.

About the host
Hosted by Tim Montgomery
I am a proud father, artist and avid hockey enthusiast. I also love the beach and love being near the water.
Why they chose this property
This house has been in my family for several generations and I grew up spending summers at this house and Short Sands Beach. It's the perfect spot for a family looking to spend time at the beach. Steps from the sand, you can be on the beach or back at the house in minutes so it makes having kids there easy.
What makes this property unique
Walk to the beach and to the downtown area.
