Loved the layout. My husband and I had one end of the house with bedroom and bathroom and my son, his wife and our one year old grandson had the other side with their own bathroom. Very clean and close to the beach. Wanted to rebook next year for right after Labor Day but it’s already booked!

The pictures don’t do this house justice - it’s GORGEOUS! The perfect location with great amenities, and plenty of space. Loved having beach chairs and towels included! Only thing we wished for was an outdoor shower, otherwise it’s the perfect house for 5-6 people.

House lovely. We were 4 adults and 1 child. The house was clean upon arrival. There were lots of beach towels and beach chairs. Lockbox made check in easy. It is really steps from the beach, you just have to know when high tide is (posted on refrigerator) because the beach literally disappears at high tide. The only thing missing was a rack for the oven but other things made it work. We also ran out of propane and there was an empty backup. I would definitely stay again.

Absolutely perfect house. Newly updated/renovated and incredibly cozy. It has everything you need, and is basically on the beach so very easy to get there. We could hear the waves at night - a natural sound machine! Would love to return.

Absolutely gorgeous home close to the beach. The enclosed front porch is a great area to sit to hear the sounds of the ocean and the large back deck with grill is perfect for family dinners. As someone who has been coming to Maine with my family for vacation my entire life I was so excited to find such an amazing home to continue the tradition with my kids. Now that we travel from Missouri instead of NY for our summer family reunions, having a home that included linens and has a washer and dryer was perfect! Rick was wonderful as a host, and I would highly recommend this home for a wonderful York vacation!

Steps to the beach

The property was well maintained. Sleeping to the sounds of ocean waves was delightful. As well the beach access being right on the other side of the street was terrific. Owner was easy to communicate with. Would consider staying at this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Hurst

Host profile image
Although we currently live in NJ - our family roots are here in Maine where we vacationed every summer since I was born (way too long ago).

Why they chose this property

Our beachfront home was built by my grandparents and has been with us ever since. It has always been a favorite spot for our family vacations.

What makes this property unique

The funny thing that makes me totally relax is the smell of the sea air from when you first arrive and look out over the ocean. Just watching the surf and listening to the sounds of the seashore is one of the most tranquil and soothing experiences I can imagine. The compliment to this is the plethora of outstanding local restaurants and taverns with the best New England Clambakes anywhere. Being one house away from the beach is really a special spot and you can see the ocean from our front porch.
