good time

Our family rented the third week in August, 2024 and we loved the location, the house overall, and the quiet of the neighborhood as well as the convenience of a walking trail and beach very close by.

Great Location, Well Cared For, Thoughtful Extras and Organization

Great location in York a very short walk from Sandy Beach and start of walkway along the river that leads to Wiggly Bridge. Quite neighbor, well cared for, charming property. Extras like beach chairs, wagon, sand toys, towel, were thoughtfully organized and a nice add.

Relaxing Multi-generational Family Vacation

We stayed at Harbor Haven for a week in June for a multi-generational family vacation. We had children, teens, adults and a grandparent. The house was perfect for our group - tons of bathrooms, bedrooms, beds, and spaces for people to congregate. The weather was fantastic, so we hardly needed AC, but each room had a fan or AC unit, so it would have been comfortable. The location was amazing - a 5 minute walk to Harbor Beach, and minutes from walking paths that bring you to the Wiggly Bridge and walks along the water. The beds were very comfortable, the bedding was nice, and the linens were great. 10/10, would stay again.

Harbor Haven (Year 2)

This was our second year staying at Harbor Haven. We had another great week and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone traveling with a larger group. I traveled with my husband and toddler daughter, my sister, her husband and twin girls, and my parents. On our second night, my sister turned to me and said "I love this house." She was referring to the fact that my dad was reading in one room, the twins were reading in another room, and my daughter was playing in another room, highlighting the fact that there was plenty of room for everyone. We didn't have any issues with the house during our stay, so I didn't need to contact Salt & Shine at all, but leading up to our trip, our concierge, Katie, was very helpful and got back to right away with any questions I had about items already at the house. We look forward to another stay next year.

July Week

Overall, the house was great. I traveled with my husband and 2 year old, my parents, and my sister, her husband, and her 6 year old twins. There was plenty of space in the house for everyone and it was very comfortable. The dining room table was big enough for all of us and we really liked the 2 porches. It was nice for each family to have their own bathroom. It was a quick walk to the beach. We had an issue with the fridge the first night and the concierge service was very responsive, texting back and forth with me to get a new fridge ASAP. They brought a brand new one the next day and a cooler with ice. They also said they'd replace any food we lost and when we had to throw out the milk, they sent more milk with some extra Maine treats. Overall, we had a great stay.
