Perfect place to stay
The place was extremely clean and nicely furnished. The air conditioner was excellent and it was in walking distance to coffee/bagel shop and ice cream parlor. It was quiet and well located for my needs. I will stay again if I am ever in the area.

York, ME September 2022
The apartment is perfectly located near everything. The apartment is also much nicer (and larger in appearance) in person than in the pictures. It is a lovely place. I would recommend a careful walkthrough by the host when guests depart so that the towels of prior guests or anything that prior guests used are not left for the current guest to manage. There was also a small gnat issue in the kitchen that should be addressed. Annoying but not enough to change how we felt about our stay. Host (Alli) was very accommodating and very kind. She went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Overall, the apartment was lovely, relaxing, and perfect for a quick getaway.

Lovely Upstairs Hideaway
We had a wonderful time at this property and close to private beach, shops and wonderful restaurants. The place was clean, cozy and had a lot of character. Alli is very attentive and house was at the end of a street so very peaceful for our relaxing last summer hoorah. I think the only thing I could say is it is not a good fit for a person over 5'10. My partner is 6'2 and could not stand up in certain parts of the place.

Cozy stay in York!
Alli's place is wonderful! It was such a comfortable and cozy place to come back to at the end of the day. It was also in a great location - easy to walk and explore parts of York Harbor, and just a short drive to York Beach. Alli was great with all communication, and gave some great breakfast and lobster recommendations. Hope to go back some day!

Amazing experience
The apartment was adorable and Alli was very welcoming to me and my large dog. It can be hard to find a good place that allows larger dogs, so I was thankful to find such a nice place. The apartment is on a very quiet dead end street and is a 5 minute drive to the main part of Long Sands. I had a great stay!

Cute and comfortable, close to everything!
We loved our stay here!!! The space is absolutely perfect for 2 people or a family with small children. There were so many thoughtful touches from the pre-made ice in the freezer to the half & half (!) and coffee in the kitchen, to the beach tote and cooler available for use. The cottage has a well-stocked kitchen and a cute little desk, and plenty of seating and good lighting. The wifi was perfect and the AC was quiet and effective. The decor is quirky and cute and really gives the feeling of being a welcome guest in someone's home as opposed to the IKEA everything soulless vibe I've seen in many rentals. This cottage is what I always hope the space will actually be like - thoughtful, personable, comfortable, clean, and cozy. We will absolutely stay here any time we come to York! Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely space with us!

Peaceful place to stay
The apartment was on a quiet street, slightly away from the main tourist areas. It feels like a home away from home. I brought a bike with me and was able to get to the beaches within about 10 minutes. If you drive to the beach, there is parking along the streets. It seems some of the spaces are free while others require you to pay at a kiosk. I had to work a bit on the trip, unfortunately, but the WiFi worked well. Cellular service doesn't reach this part of town well, but you can text through WiFi or try to activate WiFi calling, which ended up working well for me. The apartment had everything I needed as a solo traveler. I would definitely stay again!

Exceptionally convenient
What a gem of a place! We had another property cancel pretty close to our vacation and were super lucky Alli’s place was available - it turned out to be such a better option than our original. Alli is warm and welcoming and the house had everything we needed. It’s in an excellent location, and we were able to walk to fireworks at the beach for 4th of July.

York Harbor Sweet Getaway
Ali is so accommodating. Lots of nice touches from snacks to great suggestions of things to do and places to get great eats. We really enjoyed our walks with our dog to the Harbor. Loved meeting her dog such a sweet boy. Thanks for a nice getaway.

Alli has put a lot of thought and planning into making this upstairs unit welcoming to out of town guests such as the lovely welcome basket and the eye-catching décor. She provided prompt and spot on recommendations for dining and activities. We would love to stay here again!

Comfy and friendly
Ali’s home was exactly what we needed for our niece’s wedding weekend. Walkable to the wedding events at Dockside and Fosters, this house was also dog friendly. We were provided everything we needed for our short stay, which we wish has been longer. Thank you!

Perfect quiet spot
The house was on a perfect quiet block. The apartment itself was comfortable and provided all the basics we needed for our stay. The location was ideal and very accessible to Kittery, the beaches in the area, and it was a quick ride into Portsmouth. Alli was quick to respond with any questions. We'd gladly come back to stay again.

Wonderful place to stay in a beautiful seaside Maine town!
We had such a wonderful time here. Our host, Alli, is the best! She was extremely welcoming and very easy to reach if we needed anything. The apartment is completely adorable and has everything a visitor needs, from coffee and tea to a well stocked kitchen, to wonderful amenities in all the other rooms. Beds are comfortable and plush. Alli even had candles out and other nice touches that enhanced the stay. There are so many things to do in the adorable town and surrounding area, and everything is very close by. We took some beautiful morning walks. 5 minute drive to the beach and sweet downtown with shops and cute restaurants. We definitely hope to come stay with Alli again some day!

Great experience in York
Had a great time at this property! It’s on a charming cul-de-sac and the property owner was incredibly nice and hospitable. The apartment was homey, well-equipped and a bit quirky (the bathroom sink is super small and the Roku on the TV is obsolete). But we had a terrific time here, as did our dog, who felt right at home. The proximity to the beach in York, Ogunquit, Kittery and Portsmouth was ideal.
