Beautiful home in York Maine !

We had a wonderful stay at a new home in York. The house was so nicely appointed and on a quiet beautiful street within a few minutes to the beach and downtown restaurants . We could walk into town as there are sidewalks . It had a barbecue and nice back yard with seating . Beds were super comfortable . Kitchen well equipped . The Managenent company Salt and Shine Rentals were excellent at communicating and taking care of anything we needed . I would definitely rent this unit again . 😊
