Fully Accessible Beach House

We chose this house for its accessibility features so that our parents could join us and the house was indeed well-suited for everyone, especially with the elevator. The location was fantastic, close to both Long Sands and Short Sands beaches and Nubble Light House. The garage had tons of beach gear; the house was spacious; and the deck with the ocean views was perfect. The kitchen was well-equipped and the furniture was very comfortable. The front door keyless lock did not work but we were able to just use the garage door opener. Some of the outlets didn't work and it would have been helpful to have the instruction manual for the Nest thermostat. Overall it was a great house for our family and we would recommend it, especially for the accessibility features.

Family Summer Vacation

This house was perfect for our family vacation. Having the elevator gave my 87 year old mother the opportunity to move about the house with ease. Afternoon happy hours on the covered deck was another hit with the group. The pantry is very handy since there isn't a lot of cabinets. The only minor thing is for a house that size the refrigerator is small. We made lots of great memories!! Thank you

Great Property, Great Location

Wonderful property! Note for wheelchair users: there is a step to get into the front door, but once inside there were remotes for the garage door. The enterence from the garage is step free with a small ramp. There is a significant threshold into the showers, not roll in. There is a standard tub on the first floor that works with a tub shower transer bench if you bring your own.

York Beach Stay 2023

PERFECTION!!!! Superb York Beach location, excellent layout, fastidiously clean, great amenities. Family member had disability and the elevator provided great ease, and assisted with bringing in all the weekly supplies. Home provided gorgeous views, lots of space, clean sheets, towels and so many wonderful and thoughtful beach accessories. It's an easy walk to beach, restaurants and even the lighthouse. Our single complaint is that the master bathroom downstairs had a toilet with LESS and "1" of water, Despite 3 days of rain, we all easily fit inside this beautiful home with lots of space and privacy. we have already booked for next year and can't wait!

Nubble/ York Beach Dream Home

Three generation family beach trip with fabulous accommodations. I didn't have contact with property managers because everything was communicated prior to arrival. All you need for cooking is supplied. We've been going to this area for over 30 years. This is the best house. Third floor living space with 360 degree view. Only suggestion is trim the tree near the deck to open up the view of the ocean. Awesome beach chairs and other beach supplies with a .5 mile walk to Long Sands. Highly recommend. Elevator was essential to haul up groceries and for older generation. Fully handicapped accessible. All rooms spacious. Lower level bedroom great for privacy. Thanks to the designer of this family friendly home. Larger dining table would be on my wish list, seating for 10.

Wonderful

We had an amazing time at this property. Amazing location. Beach, downtown york, and lighthouse and ice cream within 5 minutes driving. Property was clean, exactly as advertised. Quiet street. Not much a view. There is a large tree obscuring much of the view of the ocean (did not bother us at all). Only slight issue we had was that the place was advertised as having 4 parking spots (two in garage and two in driveway). We have rather large vehicles. They were hard to maneuver due to large rocks placed right on the grass next to driveway and our trucks did not fit in garage. Other than that, zero complaints.

Best Beach Trip Ever!

We were in Maine for my daughter's graduation and decided to stay a few extra days at the beach. We had family with us who had never been to York and it was the best vacation. The house was beautiful and provided everything we could need at the beach. Location was perfect, too. Thank you, Heidi!

Great vacation home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was well-equipped, spacious, and very clean. Being right across the street from the ocean, the third floor has a great view. All of the appliances were very nice, the couches were super comfortable, and we appreciated the grill running on natural gas instead of propane tanks. House management was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had leading up to and during our stay. The location is conveniently close to the beach, while also being far enough from the crowds. The area is very quiet at night, and great for families. We would definitely want to return to this property for future trips.
