This is a very nice house in a great location! It is an easy walk to Short Sand Beach in one direction, and slightly longer to Long Sand Beach in the other. The house is comfortable and well equipped. The kitchen is small, but had everything we needed. The deck, right outside the dining area, was a great spot for morning coffee, and lunch. The neighborhood is a mix of rental properties and year round residences, very quiet, and the several neighbors we talked to were friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come back.

We had a lovely time at Andrew’s House. The kitchen was well outfitted and all necessaries provided. Very comfortable! I highly recommend it!

Comfortable home with plenty of space for adults and children to relax.
Great location for enjoying the beach, walks and other nearby attractions.
A few unfortunate power issues (light switches doing nothing, the trip with our hairdryer) were somewhat troublesome but the host helped out to resolve the faults we highlighted. For guests travelling from outside the US like us, it would be helpful if the host would consider providing bath towels as we have found that is most often the case in North American holiday rental properties.

This is the second time we've stayed at this house when visiting York Beach. We have absolutely fallen in love with it. My pre-schooler son calls it "our yellow house," and both children find as much joy in this home as we do as parents. The house is well-stocked for the beach and other leisure/physical activities. The deck and the grill are perfect for good weather dining. The location is peaceful and protected from the incessant wind on the water. I can't say enough good things!

Lovely home close to beach
We had a relaxing fall getaway at this clean and spacious property. The decor is beautiful, living room is spacious, beds are comfortable and bathrooms are freshly remodeled and spotless. There is a nice big deck for outdoor dining. The house is on a quiet residential street yet, Short Sands beach is only a five-minute walk away! Owners very kindly reached out to us to make sure all was well during our stay. We had all we needed at this great vacation home.

Wonderful York Beach Vacation!
Location: Awesome! Short walk to Short Sands beach and all of the shops and restaurants. Walking distance to Dunnes Ice Cream(.8 mile), Nubble Lighthouse just beyond that. Walking distance to Long Sands Beach(~.5 mile).
House: Very nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with many extras! Washer/dryer, dishwasher, Beach cart, beach chairs, gas grill, propane cooker, large pots, boogie boards, two adult bikes, two kids bikes, one large cooler on wheels, a hand held smaller cooler, Wii console with games, and some yard games. Bedrooms are as described in listing. We had 5 adults, 3 kids(ages 11, 14, 17) and one infant. The back deck has a large patio table with umbrella with an awesome breeze most of the time. The coffee pot is large with a basket that holds coffee filters. Plenty of pots and pans, cooking utensils, etc. I would recommend bringing storage containers for left over food from cooking. There are large bowls and platters that came in very handy! As with most rentals, you should plan to bring items like toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry soap, trash bags, etc. I typically bring what I think we’ll use and leave anything left over for the next guest!
Owner: Andrew was great to work with! He responded quickly to all of my questions and in great detail.
I highly recommend this vacation rental and hope to be back soon!
