At Ease On Long Sands

Gentle ocean breezes and long days on the beach are waiting for you at this elegant York home. Filled with top-end furnishings and just steps from the beach, this is the ideal spot to unwind with the whole family. Located just across the street from the iconic Maine beach dunes, pack your cooler and easily claim your spot. Chill out with a good book under an umbrella while the kids build a sandcastle, or rent a kayak to paddle out past the surf and revel in the sweeping views. A seasonal outdoor shower is at the ready for rinsing sandy toes. Stop by the Goldenrod for a bag of candy, or take the kids to York's Wild Kingdom. Visit the Nubble Lighthouse and learn about the rich history of the area. Take a picture at the top for a panoramic view to cap off your trip.

The spacious main living area has well-appointed furnishings and high-end beach decor. Lounge on the sofa and watch your choice on the Roku TV. Make some popcorn in the microwave for a movie night. Grab some small bites and make a drink at the mini-bar, then head out on the deck to unwind and enjoy a quiet moment. Put a quick sear on a fresh seafood catch with the gas grill while you listen to a song streaming on your personal device via WiFi.

Head back inside to the comfort of the central air-conditioning to get started on dinner in the gourmet kitchen. Adorned with custom counters, high-end stainless steel appliances, and an expansive kitchen island, you'll feel like a Food Network star while you cook for your crew. Cuddle up by the gas fireplace afterward with a bottle of wine. When it's time to turn in, the primary suite awaits you with a sophisticated four-poster bed with a Beautyrest Black mattress, an en suite with a jetted tub, and a TV.

Weekend family trio

The house was great and the view of the beach was fantastic. We stayed for weekend but would have loved to stay longer. The house had everything we needed and was within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Whole family loved it and we will definitely be back again

Winter Beach Holiday Weekend

We were blown away at the quality of this oceanfront beach house. The water is across the street much many rooms enjoy a nice view and the space itself is very conducive for both togetherness or some peace and quiet if needed. Would certainly stay here again!

A lovely oceanside villa!

The home was much larger and better furnished than we expected. We woke up to the sound of the surf and smell of salt air! Wonderful!

Perfect location to celebrate UNH Graduations

3 years ago we chose a York VRBO to celebrate a UNH Graduation. We returned again to celebrate 2 more Graduates! York is a little further but offered beach access and a relaxing setting for the extended family This house was even better than the first. Perfect setup with 3 BRs on the first floor, open kitchen/dining/living area on the 2nd floor and “penthouse” MBR on the 3rd. Parking for 4 cars was tight, but the views from the windows and deck were great. Nice bar setup with plenty of glasses! Kitchen well stocked and had many spices. Grandparents were able to watch the livestreams on the large TV in the living area. Couldn’t ask for a better place to celebrate

Beautiful House in Perfect Location

Couldn't have asked for a better house. Location was perfect and walking distance of everything. The view from the porch was gorgeous. House was beautifully designed and updated and plenty of room to spread out on every floor. We definitely want to come back.

Better than expected!

This property is absolutely gorgeous and trimmed out with all the necessities. Nearly every room has ocean views for a very relaxing time. I would note that the property is tight between other houses, but the comfort level inside is a 10. Lots of room and could easily fit 2 families comfortably.

Beautiful Beach House

This is the second time my friends and I have stayed in this beautiful home. The location is perfect and the kitchen, living room and deck are wonderful places to hang out and relax. The shower door in the downstairs bathroom is broken and needs to be replaced. And the full bed really needs a new mattress and it would be nice to have a Queen in that room. Overall we had a great stay!

Girlfriend Getaway

The property was very clean, comfortable and had just about everything you need to make your stay special. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were very comfortable. Loved the gorgeous beach across the street and the great views. Our only minus was our lack of knowledge to figure out how to operate the TVs. And all the deck furniture for the lower deck was gone. Would have loved to sit out there. I’d rent this house again.
