We had a great time hanging out at this cozy, comfortable house with plenty of space for 17 people. It was in a very good location right between long and short sands.

We feel so fortunate that we stayed at this amazing house. It fit all of us (19) comfortably. The location was great as well. The house is older and our host recently purchased it so work in process. During our stay we had some problems with lights and the ceiling leaking. The host was responsive and said they were going to repair those issues after we left. So for the next people that stay you can’t beat the location and the host. As for the hiccups we had those hopefully will be non issues for you.

The location to Short Sands was great- a very short walk to the beach and convenient to go back to the house for lunch. The house has plenty of room and accommodates large families. The owner was very responsive and replied quickly to our messages.

Location location!! A very short walk to Short sands beach and shops,fireworks Sunday night were steps away! The little ones enjoyed the back porch as a "playroom " and there was plenty of room for all! Thanks to Ashley for the prompt responses to my questions. We all had a ball,even my poor son who unfortunately had an ambulance ride with a slipped disc! He is recovering! Thanks so much! Great vacation!

We do our main family vacation in York Beach every summer. This year we were looking to do a larger gathering with extended family. I wasn't sure how we'd be able to accommodate everyone but this guest house was exactly what we needed. We had a set of grandparents, couples, and cousins under one roof comfortably (16 people total). The house had a nice big kitchen & dining room area where we could gather, as well as a couple of TV options so that people could watch what they wanted in the evening. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and utensils for big family meals. AC was very strong and there were 2 full fridges for storage. Our first couple of days were rainy but this wasn't an issue since there was plenty of room to hang at the place. We were able to park 5 cars without issue. The house was conveniently located between Short Sands & Long Sands. We ended up going to Short Sands several days since it was closer and an easy walk down to the beach. Multiple family members commented that it was the "perfect" house for us.

The location of this property is awesome however the house is very old and never had any updates. It is very rustic but can’t beat the location. I would definitely stay again because of the location.

Sarah was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Having different family areas in the house made it so comfortable to hang out, talk, play games or take a snooze. The location was excellent for walking to anything. Made for a memorable family get together. Thanks Sarah!

Sarah and Herb’s house in York was just perfect for me and my extended family! Plenty of room, even on a rainy day! We all had our own bedrooms so it was so comfortable. The location can’t be beat. So much to do! We had little ones who loved the playground during high tide. There really was something fir everyone. Beach, shops, arcade, light house and the ac made the house so comfortable for those who wanted a mid afternoon nap in the heat. Sarah was so sweet and caring. Hoping to make this our annual beach house !!

The Beach house is a great location minutes walking distance from short sands. We rented all 3 floors there was plenty of room for everyone. We had 11 guests over the age of 20. The house has a great beachy charm and was very clean. The AC helped during hot days but you get a nice breeze off the ocean at night so did not need it for sleeping.
Sarah was a great host very accommodating. Our family had an amazing week.

We stayed one week in the lower 2 levels - two families (4 adults, 6 kids ranging from 2-9). This was our 9th year vacationing during the summer in Maine so we already knew all of the local spot but there was a great 'Welcome Book' with a lot of local information. The house was clean and had everything we expected. The furniture, décor, and carpeting gave the house a comfortable feel. A/C was an added bonus for the hot days but we really didn't need it. We also enjoyed the front room for the few times it rained or at night once the kids went to bed.
For those that need to take a Zoom call or two while on vacation, the Wi-Fi was great throughout the house!
Short Sands beach and the town are an easy 5 minute walk with sidewalks the entire way. We either went to the beach or the town nearly every day. We also walked down to the baseball field (by York's Wild Kingdom) one day.
As expected, there is a fair amount of traffic on Broadway since this is the primary street to the Nubble so you just have to be careful with little kids in the front of the house however we were either inside or down at the beach/park to play outside so it wasn't a major concern. Be careful crossing the street also as many drivers come to the stop sign very fast. We also witnessed numerous cars make an illegal left turn down the one-way street.
The outdoor shower was great following a day at the beach. The water pressure isn't very high outside so I recommend using baby powder to get sand off the littles ones before using the shower.
Sarah communicated very well and gave us a few pieces of advice for the house upon arriving. She was great! Overall, it was great place to stay for a coastal Maine vacation.

Our family enjoyed the layout of the house. There was plenty of space for our entire family. There are multiple refrigerators and seating for everyone. The porch is nice to sit out on. The outdoor shower helped to transition from the beach. The central AC allowed us to stay cool during the hot nights.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Sarah and Herb’s place. Great location between Long and Short Sands and plenty to do for all ages in our growing family. The house had all the charm and character you would expect from the Maine coastline. We look forward to returning for more fun and sun!!

Large house with plenty of room for everyone . House is stocked with everything you need. Central air was a plus for us as well as multiple ceiling fans to keep the house cool. Sarah is an absolute pleasure to deal with ! Looking forward to returning .

My large family and I rented this house from Sarah and Herb for a week and it was great! The house was as advertised and they were accommodating to drop off a small appliance for our use per our request. Access to the boardwalk, beach and playground was side-walked and quick enough that many 3-year old and 4-year old legs easily walked on their own. We would happily rent from Sarah and Herb again. Thank you!
