The perfect getaway for a solo traveler or a couple. The end of a dead end street in the middle of the harbor, it is less than one mile to both Harbor Beach and Long Sands Beach. It is within 1/2 mile of the middle of town, walking distance to Village Scoop and several restaurants. Dog-friendly, within 1/4 mile to a walking path, 1/2 mile to the Wiggly Bridge, Steedman Woods, and Fishermanâs Walk. Bikes on the premises available for use. The cozy space is an apartment on the second floor of an owner-occupied house. It has a separate entrance. Outdoor space is available to enjoy. Dogs welcome, as long as he/she is friendly with other dogs as a friendly lab mix lives downstairs and plays outside.
Another great stay here. Quiet, friendly, very accommodating and dog friendly. This is our second time staying here and we hope to be back next year! Thank you!
Just far enough removed from the chaos of the Sands beaches but close enough to go to with a short drive. The beach within walking distance is perfect. We felt very welcome at Alliâs place and the privacy factor was just right! Great stay all around!
The property is on the 3rd floor of a house but has its own private entry so it did not feel like you were staying above someone else. The house was in good condition however its outdated, the appliances where old and all of the interior doors did not close properly. The bathroom felt small and cramped but served its purpose. Overall a very nice place for the price that was charged. If your looking for a quick/cheep stay I would highly recommend this property.
First off, Alli's home is located at the end of very pretty, quiet residential street. There was an area with patio furniture to enjoy the beautiful weather and morning tea. More of a note for future guests than a negative...when you open the front door you're faced with a very steep set of stairs. So hauling your luggage was a bit challenging and if you aren't able to navigate stairs very well this should be taken into consideration. Alli was very responsive when I reached out to let her know that there were no hangers in the closet. By the time I got back she had already brought them. The apartment was perfectly located close to the beach, downtown area and the Union Bluff Hotel where I was attending a wedding. It was nice, quiet and relaxing. I was only there for 3 days and busy with wedding activities but my stay was very enjoyable. Thanks, Alli!!
The apartment was clean, had all necessary comforts, and was much bigger than the pictures made it out to be. The outdoor space and neighborhood were nice and quiet, yet walking distance from the town and beach. The host was communicative and friendly. Would 100% stay there again!
We had an amazing time! Cozy space and so close to the ocean and all the sites York has to offer. Alli is wonderful and provided us with everything we needed including beach chairs! â±ïž
Alli was great! Let us check in early and check out late. Helpful providing recommendations for dinners and other things. Very quiet neighborhood. Centrally located to all York has to offer.
The place was extremely clean and nicely furnished. The air conditioner was excellent and it was in walking distance to coffee/bagel shop and ice cream parlor. It was quiet and well located for my needs. I will stay again if I am ever in the area.
Quiet 1 bedroom apartment just as described. AC kept place comfortable. Alli was very friendly and accommodating! Place is actually even bigger than it looks in the pictures. So nice to find a dog friendly spot close to the beach! Would absolutely recommend, and would book again.
We had a good time at this quiet oasis, especially with the fire pit! The apartment was a bit dusty and had insects in the window wells that should be cleaned out. We also had some issues with other guests being a bit rude and it would have been nice to have have given them a heads up other guests are on the property.
It was perfect for us! Nice and quiet on a cute dead end street. VERY clean. Alli was the perfect host--available and accessible but gave us our space. Location was wonderful-super close to beaches. Would definitely come back!
What a gem of a place! We had another property cancel pretty close to our vacation and were super lucky Alliâs place was available - it turned out to be such a better option than our original. Alli is warm and welcoming and the house had everything we needed. Itâs in an excellent location, and we were able to walk to fireworks at the beach for 4th of July.
I stayed here for 2 weeks with my giant Newfoundland while I looked for a place to live. The apartment is very well stocked with everything you might need, and itâs in a fantastic location on a quiet street near the beaches and restaurants. I appreciated all the little touches that made it so cozy and inviting. The best part of my stay was the helpfulness of the owner. Youâll be lucky if you get a chance to stay here.
After 2 nights of our 3 night stay, I was informed by the host that we were staying in the incorrect unit and would have to move our things ASAP for the next guest. My partner and I had already left for the morning, since it was my birthday, and had a full schedule of plans for the day. We had to cancel our lunch reservations and rush back to the apartment because the host threatened to move our stuff (and dog) if we did not return in time. When I expressed my displeasure about the situation, stating this was a major inconvenience to our day, I was met was hostility, excuses, and blame from the host. The only âkindnessâ she offered was that she wasnât going to charge us an additional pet clean up fee, again as though we were in the wrong. Not to mention, the unit we were kicked out of was apparently more expensive (despite being significantly smaller) and it felt as though the host only cared enough to prioritize her premium guests. We were also paying guests, despite feeling like unwanted house guests. That was the nail in the coffin for me. My partner and I have both spent years working in customer service and I travel regularly for work; I have never experienced such a poor customer service. âIâm sorry butâ is not an apology. Threatening to enter our space and move our things and pet does not leave me feeling safe. Overall, left this stay feeling like a second class citizen, on my birthday no less. What a major letdown. Never again.
As offered in the title a quiet oasis. This was perfect for my short stay of exploring historic York. It had everything I needed for my stay and the property was very cute!
The apartment is perfectly located near everything. The apartment is also much nicer (and larger in appearance) in person than in the pictures. It is a lovely place.
I would recommend a careful walkthrough by the host when guests depart so that the towels of prior guests or anything that prior guests used are not left for the current guest to manage. There was also a small gnat issue in the kitchen that should be addressed. Annoying but not enough to change how we felt about our stay.
Host (Alli) was very accommodating and very kind. She went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant.
Overall, the apartment was lovely, relaxing, and perfect for a quick getaway.
We had a wonderful time at this property and close to private beach, shops and wonderful restaurants. The place was clean, cozy and had a lot of character. Alli is very attentive and house was at the end of a street so very peaceful for our relaxing last summer hoorah. I think the only thing I could say is it is not a good fit for a person over 5'10. My partner is 6'2 and could not stand up in certain parts of the place.
Alli's place is wonderful! It was such a comfortable and cozy place to come back to at the end of the day. It was also in a great location - easy to walk and explore parts of York Harbor, and just a short drive to York Beach. Alli was great with all communication, and gave some great breakfast and lobster recommendations. Hope to go back some day!
