Beautiful stay

We had such a great time in York! Jody’s property is well kept, sparkling clean and had really comfy beds (hard to find)! There was plenty of beach equipment, kitchen utensils and a great grill that we enjoyed using. Would definitely stay again!

Great family stay

The house is welcoming and suitable for at least 13 adults. Very clean and with everything you need for cooking, sleeping in comfort, for the beach and even for bathroom products! Perfect location, very close to the beach. Communication with our host was great! We loved our stay! Thanks Jody!

Awesome amenities and location!

We had teenagers with us and they loved the gaming basement. Arcade games, ping pong, and pool tables were a hit. We also love staying places that have walkability. Short Sands/downtown was an easy walk. You can also walk to the lighthouse as well. It was also nice to have AC in the rooms. The deck outside was a great spot for coffee in the am and dinner at night.

Great stay in York

Enjoyed our stay at the property. House was spacious - having the two separate sitting areas with TVs was nice to have so the kids can watch their own things. House was clean and updated, and definitely a plus to not have to bring our own linens and towels. Rec area in basement with pool table, ping pong, and arcade was a nice bonus as well.

Perfect!

This home was perfect for my family including several small children. It accommodated everyone easily and was well thought out for the little ones, including a door at the top of the stairs with a baby lock on it! The location can’t be beat. Very easy walk to beaches and downtown. Or a bit of a longer walk to the lighthouse and ice cream. You do not need a car unless you are so inclined. Can’t wait to return next summer! Thank you!

This house has it all!

We had such an amazing time at this property, and were blown away at how accommodating the house was. Everything we needed for the beach, to entertaining the kids, to even having a high chair! We spent every night in the basement playing games and ping pong was the real winner! We loved how close it was to all the beaches and it really had everything we needed! We were very appreciative of the care and effort put into the house. You could feel it the moment you walked in the door. We will definitely come back!

Can’t wait to go back!

We just finished a perfect stay at this home in York. The house was perfect for 3 families with older teens with plenty of room flor all. The house is stocked with all the things you need, including an air mattress and very nice cot. Plenty of towels, blankets and pillows. All the beds are comfy and great AC through the house. The basement was the perfect teen hang with ping pong and tons of other games. The sun room with a huge dining table was where all the games were played over the week. The beaches were an easy walk and perfect all week long. This house isn’t luxurious—but it’s very comfortable and just right for a relaxing beach vacation where you aren’t worried about moving a magazine out of place. Great communication with the property rental company who were even able to extend our vacation by an extra day since we were having such a ball (for another nights fee, of course). Thank you all. It was just the perfect start to summer!

Beautiful house, wonderful visit.

This house worked out very well for our size group ages 3 to 80! A special trip with 4 generations - mom & dad, adult children, grandkids and two great grandchildren. Over the years visiting York Beaches we have stayed in many places, and this home really provided the extra necessities that made our stay very special and enjoyable. There were towels, linens and paper products provided which made packing easier. (We’ve stayed places where we had to bring it all even on day 1!!) Beach chairs & towels, umbrella, ice cooler, and a cart to pull it the short walk to the beach was so nice! The enclosed outside shower made cleaning from the beach sand easy and a washer and dryer is located right inside at the basement entry - this all made our beach trips fun, simple and with a quick clean up. There is also a second washer and dryer in the master bathroom!! The short walk to the beach was very easy and allowed us to visit whenevr we wanted because we never had to worry about parking. Parking at the house for a large group is possible as the 4 car driveway is quite large and we were able to fit our 5 smaller cars and stay off the grass. The host was so helpful with everything and answered all of our questions before and during our visit. We requested early access and as promised; day of arrival by noon she responded and were so excited when we had work we could arrive a couple of hours ahead of schedule. For our size group this home worked perfect. Our only wish is that we could have

Convenient Location

This house worked out very well for our size group ages 3 to 84! A trip with mom, adult children, grandkids and a great grand. We have stayed in many places over the years, and this place really provided the extra necessities that made our stay very enjoyable. Towels, linens and paper products made packing easier. (We’ve stayed places where we had to bring it all) Beach chairs, umbrella and a couple of carts to pull it all down to the beach was especially appreciated! Outside shower made cleaning off the sand easy and a washer and dryer were located right inside at the basement level as well as in the master bathroom. The short walk to the beach was very easy and there wasn’t the worry about where to park. Of course for mom we drove her down, got her settled and just brought the car back to the house. Parking for a large group could be challenging, but we managed to make a 2-3 car driveway fit 6 cars and still stayed off the grass! 😊For anyone with mobility challenges, there are some step ups and step downs from a couple of the rooms, and breakfast nook, but we just made sure someone held on to mom and she did fine. There was a small glitch with the key code but communication with staff for check in was quick and easy and they were very attentive in making sure we got in okay. For our size group this worked very well! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect for a family trip

We rented this house for a family vacation. We had 6 adults and 6 children ages 6 and under. It was a perfect house for us all. We had lots of space and it accommodated us perfectly. The location is close to everything and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. The kids were able to ride their bikes in the street and we were able to enjoy the deck. This is a great vacation property and we would definitely return!!
