About this property
Perfect Family Escape! Walk to everything and relax. It’s all here for you
Perfect family getaway just 2/10 of a mile to Long Sands, 3/10 of a mile to York Wild Kingdom and 6/10 of a mile to Short Sands. It’s in a quiet spot and just minutes away from the action! You can literally park your car and never have to drive it again while enjoying all York Beach has to offer.
This 4 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home is the perfect backdrop to the memories you will make on your York Beach vacation. A sparkling clean home with a kitchen opened to dining area and comfortable living room (with window a/c). This home is also located on a quiet private road off another quiet private road. You will have great outdoor space with privacy to set up shop for playing lawn games, eating al fresco, roasting marshmallows or simply enjoying the 3 seasons porch. All while still hearing the waves crash upon the ocean shore (if there aren’t too many a/cs on).

About the host
Hosted by Amy & Kevin York
My husband and I live with our 2 young kids (6 and 4) north of Boston. I grew up in the Greater Boston area and my husband grew up in Northern Indiana. We met while we were both living in San Francisco and came back to the Boston area in 2014 to build a family together.
Why they chose this property
I promise it's more than the fact that York is our last name... :)
Since my husband and I met, we have spent summers up in York, ME. When we decided that we wanted to invest in a second home in the area, we were looking for the perfect place for our family and other families as well. When we found this house, we felt as if we hit the jackpot. It's on a very quiet road that provides a space for our kids to go and play outside with no fear of traffic. And while it's on this quiet road, it's also a short walk to the beaches and the downtown area. It really is the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique
The screened in porch is amazing. I love sitting out there at night, plugging in the strung lights and playing a game with family and friends while listening to the waves crash in the distance. It's also my happy place in the morning to sip on a cup of coffee before all the chaos of the day begins.
The outdoor shower is another delight. With a waterfall shower head and a hand held shower head to help wash off the sand, it is everything we hoped it would be!
