Water, water everywhere! This house has the most fabulous location.
Our spacious sun porch overlooking peaceful York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean offers an ideal spot for a leisurely meal or to linger and watch the yachts and sailboats come and go. Lush lawn and gardens sloping down to the water’s edge provide a tranquil setting for a good book or a refreshing drink, or simply lean back in the Adirondack chairs and let the sea breezes ease your mind.
Take a walk on our deep water pier for an even closer look at the harbor activity. The view of the sunset from the pier’s edge is unforgettable. On the other side, you’ll discover York Harbor Beach just steps away from our front door (500ft to be exact), perfect for swimming, sunbathing and beach combing. The Cliff Path wanders atop rocky ledges and offers many great vistas of the crashing ocean waves below. And don't forget the Harbor Walk which meanders along York Harbor and the York River. Two great restaurants are within a 5-minute walk of the house. The location is fabulous.
This massive turn-of-the-century Victorian estate has approx. 10,000 square feet of living space. There are 9 bedrooms, 7 baths and laundry facilities. We provide Adirondack chairs, beach chairs, beach towels, and shower products to cover everyone in your group. There is a garage where you can store your bikes, paddle boards, etc. All rooms have fast WIFI and A/C. Large dining room table. Extra large kitchen plus a kitchenette / sitting room with total of 3 refrigerators! Additional rooms were opened up for the 2022 season so reviews prior to 2022 don't reflect the enlarged offering. New, high-quality AC units were added to all bedrooms in 2024.
The yard space is very versatile and enjoyable. Past guests have set up an inflatable pool for kids, a canopy for shade, and of course yard games. The harbor is fun for fishing, paddle boards, kayaks, etc. but bring some water shoes (the harbor is muddy)! There is a grill ready for you, with extra propane tanks.
There are a few things you should know. The decor of the house is older. There is a long-term tenant who lives in a basement apartment; both spaces are secure from one another with separate entrances. The dock is utilized by about 10 boats; it is fully booked but sometimes a visiting boat can be accommodated. There is separate parking on the far side of the house for dock members. There is a security camera on the exterior of the house. The pool that you might notice in satellite photos belongs to a condo association and unfortunately is not open to the public. Feel free to ask questions about any of this.
