A group of family and friends rented this home for a wedding we had to attend 25 minutes away. The reason I gave the rating of 3 on accuracy of listing….the pictures do NOT do this place justice. Sooooo much better in person!! It was clean. Huge! Most bedrooms have their own bathroom. The kitchen and dining areas are huge! We played board games around a table and there were 15 of us. Do not hesitate to rent this place!

We couldn’t have been happier with our girls getaway! We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived, and there was plenty of room for us to spread out in this huge, warm, and charming Victorian home. The beautifully renovated kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the dining room tables are spectacular. Homeowner Kevin clearly put his heart into making this place special! As much as we loved hanging out inside, the front porch is magical with comfortable seating (especially the swinging chairs with swinging cup holders!) and views of the beach! It’s just a few steps to the beach, and a short walk to shops, restaurants, and the lighthouse. It doesn’t get better- we can’t wait to return!

This house has so much charm! The kitchen was get and well equipped. The beds were comfort and rooms were a good size! The front porch was one of our favorite places to gather with the swinging chairs and ocean view. The location was perfect walk to oven and shopping area! This was a cousins girls weekend and with the spacious dinning area all 18 of us were able to sit down and eat together which was nice! Landlord was great to work with!

We all had plenty of space to feel relaxed. Huge well stalked kitchen ! Nice big dining room which accommodated 16 adults and 4 children and two babies. The porch was a bonus. The easy walk to the beach was a perfect way to get moving. The house is on a busy road but we were able to keep kids on the porch. Just a fun week and perfect for our families

The willows is located in the perfect location. Close to the beach, stores and restaurants. Just be aware that it is on the main road so there is a lot of car and foot traffic. The porch was amazing to hang out on, especially the swinging chairs! Great place to have a cocktail and watch all the people walk by. The kitchen is amazing. It is well equipped with everything you need. The espresso machine makes great coffee drinks. There is plenty of room for a large crowd. We had a great time!

Our group of 12 loved staying at The Willows for a celebratory weekend. The property is huge and located just steps from the beach. In fact, you can see the ocean from the front porch. Kevin was a gracious host and was able to accommodate all of our needs. The highlights of the property are the newly renovated kitchen stocked with everything you might need, the large common spaces, and the hot tub. There is also a large front porch, backyard space that includes a fire pit, and ample parking for a large group. We would happily return for another stay in the future!

From start to finish our visit to this house has been the best we have had yet! We are a very large group who have been meeting in Maine for over 30+ years. Finding a house that will fit us all and that checks everyones boxes has been hard task but this house pretty much has it all. The kitchen is well equipped, the dining room has more than enough room for all the sit together, the front porch is so relaxing after a fun day at the beach that is a 5 minute walk to. The owner was very understanding and helpful with whatever we needed. All in all a great weekend has had by our family!

Love the place. It is old but I loved the antique part of it. We were all able to stay and be very comfortable. You couldn't find a better area or nicer Landlord. The new kitchen which is where all my family seems to congregate is just amazing! I will surely be going again for our next family event in York!

Stunning home located in a beautiful location. Easy to get to, and the owner was extremely reliable and forthcoming with anything we needed. From the period pieces decorating the bedrooms to the modern kitchen which was a dream to gather in our family had a wonderful time just being together away from our everyday lives. Highly recommend this property for large families. (it held all 18 of us with a room to spare for short naps/quiet reading room).

This is the second time our group of friends rented this property and we love it! The space is so great for a group, with private bedrooms and bathrooms and we love how charming each room is. The newly renovated kitchen is a masterpiece and an awesome place to hangout. Host, Kevin is very accomodating, checked in and made sure we had all we needed.

Very spacious, definitely large enough for a big family. I would say something’s could use an update, and more privacy from owner.
5.0
It is a very old house and should not be too "updated." The kitchen is very modern -- Bosch stove and 2 huge refrigerators with freezer drawers. The house worked very well for my grown kids and their families. There are some holes to the past, but I think it adds to the charm. Three floors with owners in the basement. Unfortunately, the kids decided to explore through that door to the basement, but the Kevin (owner) was kind about it. Thanks for a great stay! Oh and York and the beach were great too.

We had a great time at The Willows! The newly renovated kitchen was perfect for hanging out and preparing family dinners. It is centrally located so that you can walk to Short Sands beach and to the downtown shops. We spent many nights just relaxing on the big front porch. We did bring extra fans because there isn’t any air conditioning. Kevin the owner always responds quicly if you have any questions. Hopefully a return trip is in our future!

Great family house
We had 3 generations in the house. The owner was close by and accessible. He had just finished remodeling the kitchen and it is big, beautiful, and well equipped.
A couple things to note. The laundry is not in the house itself yet. The washer and dryer are under the main floor and you have to go outside to access them. They are shared with the owner, who lives on the lower level. He has a completely separate entrance to his living area. He has new appliances on order so maybe check to see if they have been installed in the kitchen if laundry is important to you.
Also, there is no running on the first floor. We had young children in our group and they did get called out on the running a couple times. Adults chatting and drinking and laughing loudly in the kitchen at night is not a problem though!
The location is excellent. We walked to the beach with a cart and chairs, provided by the owner. We walked to town, Short Sands Beach (across the street) and Long Sands Beach less than half a mile in the other direction. We walked to the zoo, the arcades, restaurants, shopping., the park and playground, even the Nubble Light House and ice cream. I wouldn't walk to the light house with the kids though as there are not sidewalks the whole way. Others have said there is a lot of traffic on the main road, which is true, but there are sidewalks and cross walks all around the house and into town and the beach.
The front porch is awesome and we spent a lot of time there too. Overall, this is a great rental!

The house is in a perfect location. It is old and there were some issues with that. It is a great place for big gatherings. Some things are updated and some not but well worth the 500 per night we spent! The porch makes the whole vacation wonderful! I would love to go again!

The house was pretty much what you’ve heard others say, definitely outdated. However the place had a certain charm and the location and the porch were fantastic. The owner was great to deal, good guy.

The old historic inn was the perfect spot for our 18 strong family member destination wedding at Scotland Fields. Close to the Portsmouth and Boston airports, travel was convenient. Best view of the ocean, gathering on the wrap around porch!

the home is a beautiful 1880 property however it is in great need of some TLC. We overlooked many issues with the home due to the location and space it provided however the home needs a good cleaning and preservation. Home has not been updated in a very long time and shows it. Unfortunately we Would not rent the home again despite the location and size. This could be a beautiful property if it was kept up and updated, sad to see such a home being let go. Also outdoor furniture on the deck was is very poor shape, we were unable to use many of the seats due to ripped, sagging seats and falling apart. Beautiful porch to enjoy but we used our beach chairs.
