New build. 3 bedroom Townhouse walking distance to York Beaches.

10/10 Excellent
"The duplex is well located, clean, and new. Had everything we needed, the Cornhole, beach towels and chairs were appreciated! I will say the only downside is that the description of three bedrooms and three bathrooms is true, but not as I expected. There are three bedrooms upstairs with one bathroom to share. No en-suite bathroom. The second full bath is on the first floor which is convenient if you are using the king-sized pullout sofa. The third full bathroom is downstairs in the basement and has a cement floor. Kind of a weird layout, but all in great working order and clean. Lots of steps, so that is a consideration if you have older guests. Overall a nice place and we really enjoyed our stay!"

"Cathy was amazing. Location is good 10 min walk to short sands beach . Few so oke things we didn’t like but. Room was tidy and looks fresh . The stairs going up to the third floor had no lights at night time. Have something on the railing device don’t help when trying to hold the step stairs. Ye they didn’t work. No lights on used flashlight. To see that was the only factor they was difficult Tho k it needs a railing on the house die as well for safety . Again Cathy was so amazing. We would come back. Would def want a bottom floor room.."
