My family has been vacationing in York Beach Maine for 25 plus years! It’s one of our magical places! This was our 3rd year staying at SanBar and it won’t be our last! Scott is amazing! He gets back to me ASAP when reaching out! It’s a short walk to either Short Sands or Long Sands. We couldn’t ask for anything better! The house is exactly as described! My family is so thankful to be able to share this amazing home for the week!

Cozy house in Great location

This is a great spot, it was our second time staying there. Close walk to both beaches, it's a really great location. One thing to be aware of if you have small children is that there are several sharp corners. Other than that it's a perfect spot for a small family.

Great Little Cottage - We had a wonderful time staying at the San’BarIDEAL location as within walking distance to everything Short Sands has to offer, The Nubble and Long Sands (longer walk)Has a front deck with grill, great for family meals or unwinding from a day at the beach with a drink. Ample family area and has board games and puzzles for family fun without turning the TV on. No central AC in the whole house, but open the sliders and the ceiling fan cools it down in minutes, window AC in the 2 bedrooms for sleeping comfortIt was super clean when we arrived, and the communications from Scott and check in process couldn't have been smootherHighly recommend

We loved it, exactly as described! LR/kitchen area is spacious and comfortable. Our weather was awesome so we spent most of our time out on the deck. Large deck with seating for 6 and a large gas grill ready to go! Location is spot on, right between both beaches! Easy walk either way!

Our Maine getaway

We are a family of 5, two adults and 3 children ages 2, 4, and 7. We truly enjoyed our stay at this beach house. Just the right amount of space for our young family, super close walking distance with our beach caddie or stroller to either long or short sands and the fun that goes with both places! Awesome deck space! No bathtub but super easy to shower the babes with one of us! Absolutely the perfect location and we had everything we needed!! Scott is super responsive and communication was fast and easy! Definitely looking forward to renting here again, thank you for this opportunity!!
