Beautiful Beach Home!

My family of 5 LOVED this York beach house! My husband said this is the best vacation rental I’ve booked yet, ha! Plenty of space for us and our 3 littles. Cozy accommodations, beautiful ocean waves in the background. We loved the convenient walk to the beach. We hope to be back!

Great location

The location was wonderful. Short distance to short sands and downtown York Village. I would suggest a handrail in the upstairs bathroom, in the tub and outside it. Lots of seating vault. I give this rental a “10”

ANOTHER AMAZING FAMILY VACATION

This was our second year at this property. We fell in love with this area of Maine last year and hopefully will make this a yearly tradition for our family. The house is perfect for us and being able to wander down to the beach with a hot cup of coffee in the morning is awesome. Mark is a great host, great communication, just couldn't be happier that we found his place. Great house, great location, great host. What more could we ask for. Thanks again Mark. Hope to see you again next year.

Perfect family vacation

We stayed for a weekend with our whole family , which is hard these days because everyone is an adult. We had the best time ever. Your home was so beautiful and cozy, and we were so close to everything. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for opening your home to us and many more 😊❤️

Nice spot but

Walking distance from the beach, cute space, but note it's quite musty in the bedrooms, coordination over the phone with the owner is required, it's BYO sheets, and you must wash and dry towels (with a 10am check out) else $100 fine.

It was ideal—charming, great beach vibe, very clean and everything you need to be comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped—the neighborhood was very welcoming and the walk to the beach was lovely … great access to downtown York!
