We loved this house! With some younger kids in tow, this location just can’t be beat. With a skip across the street to the ocean or the ability to grill out back and have kids entertained with available toys, we thoroughly enjoyed the full extent of this stay. Thank you, Jenn!

A family vacay for the books!

We had a fabulous time at the beach house at york! Can’t beat the view and the proximity to the beach. It was very roomy and perfect for a larger group. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves and the salt air breeze. Loved the fire pit and the front porch! Thank you for a great stay.
