Caitlin is a very accommodating host. The rooms were larger than expected, very comfortable, very clean, on a quiet street with a certain degree of privacy. The short walk to the beautiful beach is a bonus. Conveniently located, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport are a short drive away. Of course, Nubble Lighthouse is a must see too! We had a wonderful vacation and highly recommend this property.
We communicated with Caitlin before our arrival and she answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. Upon arrival, the house was extremely clean and pleasant. The porch is awesome (as described) for morning coffee and evening wine! We loved being able to walk to quickly walk to the beach and come back and forth as we pleased. A couple of things to note - we made lobsters one night (there is a lobster pot!) but no crackers. Also, if traveling with a family with kids, would recommend bringing a wagon for beach chairs/toys/towels/cooler/etc. or driving to drop everything off. It's not a far walk by any means, but with all of that stuff you need a few adults! There is a nice shed for storing the wagon/beach accessories for the week. We used the grill a few times and that was great. We enjoyed dinner one night at Stones Throw and it was delicious!
We enjoyed a wonderful vacation in York at this house. We loved how quick the walk was from the house to the beach on long sands and was just a quick drive to short sands. The house was even better than the pictures and the porch was perfect for having morning coffee and playing cards. There was everything you would need for cooking in the kitchen. We also loved how quiet and private the road was so our little one could go on walks with us and we didnât worry about cars zooming by. Wonderful place to stay!
What a wonderful vacation experience! The property was exactly as described and so clean and nicely decorated. The short walk to the beach allowed for nice family time and the neighborhood was friendly and welcoming. Long Sands beach was amazing. The view of the Nubble Lighthouse was a beautiful sight. All contact with the owner was helpful and timely. Canât think of one complaint, except it wasnât long enough. Looking forward to next year already! Thank you!!
This home was even better than we expected. It is very comfortable, clean and tidy. The bedrooms are of good size and the layout was perfect for our family's stay. The host was very welcoming and responsive. Thanks for making our trip to York a wonderful experience!
My family and I came up for a week in Maine and were so happy we booked this house. The house is great for being together for a family meal and yet large enough for you to enjoy some quiet time alone. 5 minute walk to Long Sands and the trolley stop to go into Short Sands. The owner is accommodating and great to deal with. You can tell from the moment you walk in that this a home not just beach house for rent. The neighborhood is quiet and the porch is amazing to just sit and relax with a nice book and a glass of wine. My only reservation for leaving this review is that my week might not be available next year because everyone will learn how wonderful this house is LOL đ
I grew up going to York Beach, Maine and have so many wonderful childhood memories from Long Sands Beach. Now with a family of my own, I wanted to keep the tradition of traveling to York, Maine alive for my three children. My husband and I love the neighborhood where our house is located and we finally had the opportunity to buy a house in 2017.
This property is in an amazing, quiet, beautifully maintained neighborhood, with many year long residents. The house is a 5 minute walk to the beach down a very quiet road (with very little traffic). The neighborhood is very safe and the dead end corner lot offers children a safe place to play far away from traffic.
Our house has right of way access to a private throughway to the beach with very little traffic. The yard is very private. 2017 is the first year on the rental market!
