We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful York, Maine home. It was well taken care of and very comfortable. The location was fantastic…in a lovely neighborhood and right between Short Sands and Long Sands Beaches. Our host, Andrew, was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely recommend this property highly. KK, New Jersey

Very nice house, in a great location. This was our second visit to this house, and we hope to come back. It is comfortable, and very well equipped (and we have stayed in a lot of rentals.) Owners are quick to respond to questions. We were there in the fall, but the garage had plenty of beach gear for summer use, as well as bicycles that are available for guests. The fenced in yard is perfect for our dog, and the house is an easy walk to Short Sand Beach. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors (many seem to be year-round) are friendly. York Beach is a nice area to explore, with interesting restaurants and a very nice historical sociery. This is a favorite house in a favorite place. Can't ask for more.

Great house with everything you could possibly need and more than enough space for 3 adults, a baby and a dog. It's in a great neighborhood and very walkable. The host, Andrew, was very friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend this house if you're planning a trip to York beach.

Loved the place, easy walk to both Short Sand and Long Sand Beach. Fantastic sunrises each morning. Great friendly neighborhood for adults, kids and dog, who made more friends than we did! Was my first adventure with Vrbo, so was surprised that certain amenities were not provided. I now am aware to read and learn a bit more before travel, especially the night before a holiday!

Great house for beach visit

This is a very nice house in a great location! It is an easy walk to Short Sand Beach in one direction, and slightly longer to Long Sand Beach in the other. The house is comfortable and well equipped. The kitchen is small, but had everything we needed. The deck, right outside the dining area, was a great spot for morning coffee, and lunch. The neighborhood is a mix of rental properties and year round residences, very quiet, and the several neighbors we talked to were friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come back.
