This is a great location for us for our summer vacation, as I have family in the immediate area. It gives us lots of space and privacy, rather than staying with family, so it DOES feel like a true vacation. It's an easy walk to Short Sands and into town for beaching, shopping, eating, etc. Everything we needed except bedding and bath towels was available, there was a start-up supply of paper goods and dish soap, and there are chain grocery stores in York and also Portsmouth which makes getting more 'stuff' easy, if you don't want to pack and schlep everything with you. The only thing I struggle with is that the fees are a bit high, but I realize that not all of this is under the control of the owner.
