Welcome to 21 A Ocean Ave Extension! Located between the beaches, this charming rental provides a rare opportunity for the perfect vacation in Maine. Modern amenities make for a relaxed and comfortable week (or two!) at the seacoast, in a small beach town with an atmosphere reminiscent of the way life used to be or, as we say in Maine, "the way life should be". The deck overlooks Short Sands Beach. There is cable TV, Wi-Fi, an outdoor grill, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for preparing meals. 21 A Ocean Ave Extension is located so close to everything you can literally park the car and leave it for the week while you enjoy walking to two beaches and downtown York Beach. If you are familiar with the Short Sands area, you know there is plenty for everyone to do. Of course there is a sandy beach, but also a large modern playground, penny candy, casual and fine dining options and of course, ice cream shops! York Beach is unique in that it offers entertainment for the family that will remind you of yesteryear. York's Wild Kingdom is a small amusement park with a very nice zoo. We have our gazebo near the ocean where you can listen to live music many nights a week plus arcades and bowling. For those who are looking for more mature amusement, there are a few nicely appointed bars within an easy walk where you can sit outside and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage while enjoying the sights and sounds of our beachside town. If you want some day-trip excursions, there is so much to do in our area! Here are some great ideas for family fun: Whale Watching out of York Harbor or Perkins Cove, day trip to Ogunquit to enjoy that 5 mile sandy beach plus great restaurants and shopping or play at one of two public golf courses in York. York Village is robust with colonial history featuring historic museums where you can travel back in time. Perhaps you might enjoy fresh or salt water fishing. There are locals here who will offer deep water fishing or guided kayak excursions. There are tennis courts, scuba diving, paddle boarding and so much more! The Cliff House, located on Shore Road between York and Ogunquit, is a world wide destination with a dramatic $100 million renovation that was recently completed in 2016. Enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or indulge in their gourmet dining. If live theatre is something you would enjoy on your vacation...well, we have it! Check out the Ogunquit Playhouse where nationally known stars are known to perform throughout the summer. Portsmouth, NH (just over the border and about 10 minutes away) also has fine live theatre at the Music Hall. Speaking of Portsmouth, let's not forget this wonderful small city. Always known for being a unique seaside port town, a resurgence has occurred over the last decade making this city a nationally recognized destination vacation spot on its own. Fine dining, live theatre, and unbelievable shopping attracts thousands of visitors each year. We will do our absolute best to ensure you love your time here and want to come back year after year.
We enjoyed our stay at this property with several young children. The deck was incredible and the proximity to Short Sands made our lives easy for beach, playground, arcade, shops, and restaurant access. We had a question on arrival and someone was at the house within minutes to help.
This property is in a great location, right across from short sands Beach and has great views of the water. Our family would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location ! The house is everything we need for our family gathering . Spacious and the view is amazing! We encountered a problem and the owner response was very fast ? All people ( agents , workers ) were nice and helpful .
Views and proximity to all the local sites is perfect. Great house for the family, fits two families of four easily. Has all the amenities you need for a nice relaxing vacation!
The property is conveniently located to Short Sands Beach, the surrounding town area and a kid friendly playground. We enjoyed the views from the kitchen/family room and deck overlooking the bay and beach area.
We had a wonderful week here. Made lots of family memories! And you could not beat the location. And the porch was where we spent almost all of our time.
My favorite part of the house is the huge deck. It not only looks onto a beautiful ocean view but allowed the chance to be together for relaxing, eating, chatting in a wonderful space.
We will definitely be back next year.
Location was superb! It was so nice to be able to just walk over to the beach. The openness of the house and large deck allow you to enjoy the ocean from every angle.
We had a lovely time at Heidi's place. It was perfect for our family, right across from Short Sands, and within easy walking distance of lots of things to do in York. The house was lovely, clean, and well supplied with everything we needed.
We had an extended family vacation and the location and views were outstanding! Everyone always came to âourâ houseâdinners on the deck, grandparents could sit on the deck and watch the grandkids play at the beach, the pre-teens could walk to the arcade!!!! We loved it!
What a perfect location and house to enjoy a week with extended family. The deck is amazing and if we were not on the beach we were on the deck. We would definitely return!
We booked this house as we were going to a wedding nearby and decided to make a little vacation out of it. The house was in a great location and well stocked. It had everything we needed and easy communication for any questions we had
