The Space
Our apartment offers more space, privacy, and amenities than local hotels. It features an open floor plan with a spacious layout, two bathrooms, and a bedroom on the upper level. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for cooking inside or outside. The first floor has a kitchen, living room, and a 1/2 bathroom overlooking one of our many gardens. The second floor also looks over the garden and has a queen Tempra mattress for a comfortable night's sleep, a working space, a 1/2 bathroom, and a washer and dryer. You can also enjoy a large private porch surrounded by lush gardens that change weekly, complete with patio furniture, a table for two, and a gas grill. You can explore our gardens or visit the butterfly garden. We also provide a selection of books and games throughout the apartment for your enjoyment.

Wi-Fi.
Highspeed 5G AND 2G mesh networks are available to support your multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, and gaming, as well as the Smart TV that includes complementary spectrum cable, MAX (HBO), and Disney + apps.

Packing lite:
We want to ensure that your arrival is stress-free, so we start you off with light snacks, cooking basics such as oil, salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, sugar, and more, as well as limited toiletries, including toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and a hairdryer. Additionally, we provide all linens and essential cleaning supplies. If you require an iron, ask. We also include beach chairs and a pre-packed beach bag, which provides two beach towels and reusable water bottles.

Privacy
Your privacy and comfort are important to us. You have two private entrances and a porch surrounded by gardens. You share the driveway with the owners and can walk the property anytime. Please note that the main house and apartments share a wall; however, we are a quiet family of three. Sometimes you may see us working on the lawn or walking, but we do our best to give you a private relaxing experience.

Thank you for checking us out. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

An oasis
This is the best short-stay site we have ever stayed in! It is a lovely, highly efficient and just what we wanted in this charming village. Small kitchen, with usual appliances and a nice array of snacks, adequately equipped for the advertised capacity although not for a large group. Two levels with bedroom, bath and washer-dryer up stairs and living/dining/kitchen on lower floor plus a half bath which was convenient. Spotless and pleasant furnishings, including books, games and TV which we didn't use, but best part of the venue was the private outdoor patio with comfortable seating surrounded by really wonderful, carefully tended gardens. Nice neighborhood and there are also nice walks nearby--to York's small sandy beach, plus a well-marked, two mile route up the York River that begins across the street. While centrally located it's so secluded that it's hard to spot coming from I-95, and exiting the short drive was tricky until I learned to use the mirror across the street to gauge traffic coming around a curve. Owner was very welcoming and gracious. Really the best ever . . .

Hi! We grew up in Vermont and decided to trade in the mountains for the ocean! So here we are, the Maine coast, one of our favorite vacation spots growing up. Our reasons for loving York are diverse: Scott is a beach lover and enjoys paddleboarding and fishing. Alice enjoys gardening on our property and walking the paths in York Harbor. Picking York Harbor was an easy choice for us. Over the past two years, we have rented our apartment annually but decided to move to Air B&B in June of 2023. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us. We hope you visit York Harbor, ME, and enjoy all York has to offer!
