Beautiful house! We’ve rented houses in York for a few years, but this house was perfect - it met all our needs even as far as location (a short walk/bike to Long Sands and an even shorter walk/bike to Short Sands). The owner supplied so many things we usually have to buy too. She was great and easy to communicate with - we will be back!

We had a wonderful time here. The home has all of the amenities that you could possibly need and is immaculate. The upstairs bedrooms are large (each with a double and two twins) and the downstairs bedroom has a large walkin closet, bathroom, and private deck. The larger screened in porch allows for a nice evening out. The backyard is large with a fun firepit and Joann has lots of lawn games that you can use if you choose to. There is a patio area with a gas grill and large picnic table, perfect for a lobster feed (you can get the lobsters just up the road all cooked and Joann has all of the implements needed to eat them!) The home is only about a 5-10 minute walk to Short Sands Beach and the small commercial district with fun gift shops, snack places, etc. I would definitely recommend this home!

Our family takes a summer long weekend together each year, my grown children and their children, this year my best friend from high s hook, from Texas, joined us. The location at the end of a culdesac was perfect. Within walking distance of the beach, zoo, and activities. If you have small children and walking I would suggest bringing a wagon, stroller, etc. the property has a wagon, best utilized for transporting supplies, beach toys etc. not mentioned in the listing is a brand new outdoor shower. PERFECT. When you spend a day at the beach with the grand babies in sand, it’s amazing how much sand you bring back. The property is gorgeous, well stocked, clean. Highlights the balcony and s reined in porch for young children to play safely. We plan on returning.

Our whole family loved this house. Joanne was a fantastic host and we enjoyed talking with her. She had the house fully stocked with everything we could have needed from pots and pans to paper goods and even laundry detergent. The space was immaculate and we loved the screened-in porch. It was a short walk to short sands (maybe 5-7 minutes). Great place for families. I would highly recommend a stay here!

This house was perfect for myself, my husband, both our daughters and their husbands, and our four grandchildren ranging from 2 years old to 8 years old. The location was wonderful -- easy walking distance to the beach and some stores. The house was super clean with plenty of paper goods. It also had a lovely backyard. We would enjoy returning here for another vacation.

We had the best week in York. Joann is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable of the area. The house was clean and fully stocked with everything you need and all the amenities of home. Central A/C and washer and dryer were welcomed. The backyard is gorgeous and the quiet street great for kids. So much to do in the area and we hope to return next summer! Thank you Joann!

We really enjoyed our week at York staying on this property. The house is spacious, clean, updated and provided our group of 6 with everything we needed. Joanne was super welcoming and accommodating throughout the week, always quick with a response when needed (.......which was infrequent). The one downside for our group was the walk to the beach/town. It's less than a 15 minute walk - very manageable - but it included time spent on busy roads, including a stretch w/out sidewalks and a busy intersection w/out a crosswalk and/or lights. Certainly no fault of the property owner, but learning of this walk changed our plans to allow our teen, tween and their friends to walk to/from the house alone and have some independence. Outside of that, the week was perfect and I'd recommend this house to groups of all ages.

The house was great! It was super clean and really well stocked with everything that we could need. The walk to Short Sands was really easy and quick (about 10 min). The owner was super responsive and available as needed. The house had plenty of space and multiple seating areas for our family. We loved the screened in porch. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Priceless family memories!!!

Priceless family memories!!!

Joanne made us feel welcome and at home, she has a lovely abode! We had the honors of being the first to fire her new Solo Stove Yukon and relax in the Adirondack Chairs mesmerized by the beautiful flames while toasting marshmallows for S’mores. The location of her home is beautiful, quiet, safe for little ones as it’s on a dead end road, and convenient as we were 3-5 minutes from the village of York Beach, Long & Short Sands beaches, the zoo, restaurants, shopping…. Joanne had wonderful suggestions for all that we wanted to do and explore. Our vacation was fun, relaxing and absolutely amazing and we look forward to our next visit!!!

Do yourself a favor and book this place!

We rented this property for a 15-night stay and it wildly exceeded our expectations. First, the photos don't do it justice: it's a brand-new space, immaculately kept. I thought it might be kitschy with all the red in the photos, but it was well-decorated and everything was fresh and clean. Two sitting porches -- one off the main (king) bedroom on the first floor, and another screened-in space where we spent a ton of time right off of the primary living area. I saw some critiques of the size of the living room, but for part of our trip there were 9 people staying there and it was more than adequate -- kids hung out in the HUGE bedrooms upstairs quite a bit, and/or the adults stayed on the screen porch. Joanne (the host) provides plenty of supplies (detergent, paper towels, etc.), a wagon for the beach, and pretty much every large appliance you could think of. The home is in a great location -- you can walk to downtown York as well as two beaches, and it's a quick car ride to other sights in Maine. Joanne is very friendly and available for questions etc. Highly recommend!

We have vacationed in York Beach for many years but this was our first time staying at this property. Everyone loved the “red house!” The bedrooms were large and comfortable.. The kitchen area was well equipped and spacious. The outdoor area provided plenty of space for the grandchildren to play and enjoy watching cranes and deer! The entire family is looking forward to returning to this property again

Great location and home!

House was spotless and everything as described. Great room for parking, everything worked as should, WiFi had great reception around the home. Close enough to walk to the beach but far enough away to not be in the center of all the traffic during peak season. Quiet dead end blacktop road. Would definitely recommend it and plan on coming back!

We had a great stay! The house is clean, well equipped, updated, and quiet! It is less than a 10 minute walk to Short Sands and the York Animal Kingdom. The owner was friendly and prompt and provided great guidance about the area. A couple of suggestions to make it even better for our family would be to make the master bed at minimum a queen (it is a full) and to get more seating in the living room that is a bit cushier. We would def book again!

Nice easy walk to both short and long sands beach. House is modern and updated with nice appliances and bathrooms. Only minor issue is that I would have preferred a larger bed in the master bedroom (bed was a full size - queen would have been more comfortable). Owner was really warm and friendly and made check in and out very easy.

The house was new and beautiful! Bedrooms were great, Our only complaints would be the living room was small and lacking more than a couch to sit on. Maybe the basement will be finished in the future? Location was awesome, walking distance to downtown York. Would definitely recommend!

While our daughter was at camp in Boston, we decided to head to Maine, 9 of us! The house was spacious, very clean and great location. Joanne provided everything we could possibly need! Perfect place to spend time together. We loved the deck and the pines. We explored the area and as far north as Boothbay, some of our party took a side two day trip to Bar Harbor. We fell in love with Maine and will definitely be back! Joanne is a wonderful host!
