Family Vacation

Location allowed us plenty of beach time with the grandchildren. Close enough to go several times a day plus the playground at Short Sands was ideal! Great backyard with lots of toys and games provided. Great deck space for family cookouts. House well equipped with dishes and cookware. Outdoor shower was a big hit with the hot weather.

Amazing stay - best location!

We had a wonderful stay at Tina’s home. The house is clean, spacious, and has all the little things to make your stay very comfortable. We had a group of 8 and felt we had plenty of space - the outdoor shower was a huge plus for us! We walked to short sands every day which was only about a 10 minute walk. Perfect location in a nice neighborhood!

Comfortable place by the sea

This house was perfectly situated between both beaches and a quick walk down to the light house! Plenty of supplies for cooking at the house and plenty of amazing restaurants within walking distance and short drives! We had a great time at the zoo and was much bigger than we expected! Host was easy to get ahold of and quick to respond.

Wonderful Family Vacation in York

My husband and I traveled to York ME for family reunion with our three adult children and their significant others. We had a wonderful time! The house is in perfect location to allow us to walk to both beaches and Nubble Light. We really appreciated the beach chairs, coolers and wagons for our beach days! We loved the deck and kitchen had all the little extras for family dinners. We would highly recommend for family vacation!

Perfect location!

My family of 7, had an amazing stay. The house is very charming and comfortable, We cooked a lot of meals and really enjoyed the spacious deck. The house is close to everything. We enjoyed the walk to Long Sands Beach, the lighthouse, Fox’s and Short Sands. We even enjoyed an outdoor yoga class with gorgeous ocean views at ViewPoint Hotel - a short walk from the house. Day trips to Ogunquit, Kennebunkport and Portland were also enjoyable. I highly recommend the house!

Girlfriends getaway

The home was perfect for our group of three girlfriends. We each had our own comfortable room. The full bath and half bath were perfect, and we appreciated the laundry facilities and detergent etc. Kitchen was well appointed, and again we appreciated the extras (ice, oils, wraps etc.). Very clean home, and we love the new comfy. couch. Great location to beaches, restaurants and shopping. Thank you for a wonderful home to create some new memories and just catch-up with one another. The deck was also wonderful!

This is our second stay and we will definitely be booking future trips! It was so much fun to see our 2 year old experience her first beach vacation at this house! She loved the backyard and all the toys, the walk from there to Short Sands was the perfect length for her to not need a stroller! Thank you again!

Home away from home....

We loved our stay on Nicole Road. We loved the location, quiet street, large deck and yard and the whole house had everything we needed for a week at the beach and was super family-friendly. Tina was responsive and helpful. Kids voted this was their favorite house we have stayed at and I couldn't agree more!
