Views of ocean/beach from most rooms and rear deck. You'll love the beautiful décor and new furnishings in this like new home - with plenty of entertaining space inside as well as in the yard. Sleep comfortably with quality mattresses, pillows, and linens available.
A very short walk to Long Sands Beach....about 500 feet! As you walk on to the beach you will be near the center of Long Sands beach, just south of the Sun & Surf Restaurant. Great for families due to the amount of beach space, even at high tide, and the best crabbing and tide pooling in town at low tide! Perfect spot for walking or running along the beach as well. And a quick walk to some of the local restaurants or take the trolley to the Nubble Lighthouse or Short Sands Beach from the end of the street. Long Sands Surfing area is only a 10 minute walk away. Life guards on duty all summer.
Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the 30'x12' rear deck while enjoying the sounds & views of the ocean. Neighborhood is predominantly owner occupied. Extremely safe neighborhood. Dead end road with 10 houses.
Walk to: Beach, 'Down Town' (location of restaurants & shops), High School (location of grass fields, skateboard park, track, & tennis courts, high school baseball field), Little League Baseball Field, Nearby Restaurants (Sun & Surf, Lobster Cove, 'The blinkey cone')

Wonderful house in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and well maintained. Ideal for families or a group that wants some peaceful time together sharing some meals and conversation. Easy check-in and check-out.
We had a great time in York. The house was immaculate and the proximity to the beach was great for lots of short walks .Ed was great and very easy to contact
Very roomy, clean, well-stocked for our family of 10. Short walk to beach and very comfortable deck.
We would have been more comfortable if the bedrooms had bureaus or luggage racks.
Overall we would recommend this property.
Everything was perfect. We enjoyed our time at the home. There was 9 of us and fit us all. Close to beach but also quiet and relaxing. A big thumbs up!
Enjoyed the stay. Great location. Clean and spacious home. Ed was great communicator and had some nice local recommendations. Only knock would be on the cleaning requested prior to departure, which included not just stripping beds/towels but running thru washer and dryer. Seemed excessive, especially considering we were already paying a cleaning fee.
Overall, very positive experience and would stay again.
Amazing location, modern well kept home, very nice host, very clean and very well stocked with all we needed. This is our second time at this property. We had a great time.
We had a wonderful time!! Great location, clean home with a nice deck! Even deer in the neighbor’s yard! Planning on coming back to this wonderful home.
This property offered us a very good "sweet spot" for balancing distance from the beach without being too crazy expensive To. We have a three and a five year-old and if it was any farther away it would've been difficult. Any closer and we might not have wanted to spend the money. It was just right! Comfy beds too :-)

Great house, great location!
We enjoyed our weekend at the York Beach house. Easy walk to the beach and a few restaurants with kids. The beach itself was beautiful. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our group. You can tell Ed has taken a lot of time to think of everything - including detailed instructions and FAQ. Thanks!
House exceeded our expectations! Ed responded to any and all questions quickly and personally. Communication between homeowner and renter can make or break any stay and Ed completely made this stay great!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was in a great location, within easy walking distance to the water and coastline. The house was clean, impeccably organized, and maintained. However, given the high price of the rental, we were frustrated that we had to make beds, clean sheets and towels and have everything folded and back in a closet before an 11:00 check put time. In addition, there are no dressers, luggage stands or any place (other than the flood) to put the luggage. A folding luggage stand in each room would be a welcome and easy fix.
This property was perfect for our family of ten. Having the bedrooms upstairs away from evening adult noise helped the little ones sleep well. The kitchen was adequately appointed with everything that you could want. Plenty of disposable paper goods were supplied. A wonderful beverage cooler was located on the lowest level allowing the refrigerator to be used mainly for food items. The bedrooms were nicely sized, ceiling fans helped keep us cool and the beds were very comfortable. Great Weber grill was on the deck for easy access to the kitchen and it was very clean. Plenty of parking was available and the short walk to the beach allowed us to skip the dreaded search for expensive parking spots. We hope to rent this property again in the future, it was everything we had hoped for in a vacation home destination .
Great place for a stay while in town for a family wedding
Property is immaculate and plenty of space. Our family (2 adults / 3 college aged children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Was perfect for the family wedding as most of our family was staying close by. Great location, stress free get away! Would rent again for sure
We just spent Labor Day at this home and had a great time. Very clean, easy access to Long Sands Beach and very family friendly. Ed was very responsive with messaging as well.
Quiet side street-enjoyed the deck, the grill and the fire pit. House was large and modern with lots of room. Owner was gracious and quick to respond. Wed rent again.
We loved our time in York. Ed was such a great host and made the process very painless. The house was just as advertised, and Long Sands exceeded our expectations. It is difficult to find a vacation that pleases both the forty something parents, the teens, the preteens and the littles, but this house did it. We had a great week and are so thankful for the memories.
My family and I had a great time staying here. Very clean house and everything was exactly as it was stated in the listing. Ed was responsive when we had questions or needed anything. Highly recommend staying here.
We were in town for a family wedding and there were 6 of us staying in the house, all adults and older teens. The house was clean and a good size for our group. 4 of the beds are bunk beds though, so might work best for a family with some younger kids. Having multiple bathrooms was great for getting ready, the kitchen is really big and roomy and it was stocked with everything you would need to cook. Communication with the hosts was great during the entire process. Also close to the beach if you go in the warmer months and not far from the Nubble Lighthouse. I would definitely recommend!
