About this house rental

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.

We have rented big beach houses before for a yearly family vacation and this house is hands down the best we have rented. Positives: views (both ocean and harbor), AC in all the rooms if needed, well stocked kitchen, quiet.

Every member of our party enjoyed this house! It’s very well laid out, beautifully furnished, well maintained and clean. The location was ideal, close to the beach and a lovely walking trail. Great views from every room. Couldn’t ask for more!

17 of us ages 73 to 3. We had enough bedrooms and baths to go around. The kitchen was huge. We were walking distance to the beach. Our manager was always available to answer our questions. I highly recommend.

We had a blast on vacation this year! The house itself was wonderful. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and places to hang out. The views were fantastic and there was so much to do, as the house was in a great location! It was very clean, and having basic toiletries provided was quite nice. Nathan was very helpful with questions and concerns. Unfortunately, we had to wash a lot of dishes by hand since the dishwasher broke the first night we were there, but we survived. :) Thank goodness there was a second one, but that was a bit of a pain. The only thing we wished was different was the configuration/size of the deck. It was a bit small for all to gather on. Again, we survived and had a great time! :) I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

My family had a wonderful time. We have 4 families with 5 children, and the home was big enough for all to have separate bedrooms and gathering areas. I highly recommend staying here. In addition, Nathan the host was extremely friendly and responsive.

This was perfect for our large and growing family (17 of us!!) Everyone had space and comfort - yet we also had plenty of places to gather and hang out. The picturesque view and setting are incredible. And the proximity to the beach makes a beach day so simple and enjoyable. Nathan is a wonderful host. He’s communicative, responsive and kind. We’ve already reserved next year!

Our group of 17 found the property very welcoming with plenty of room to find a quiet space when needed. The kitchen facility was spacious for the multiple cooks and helpers. The children ages 5 to 10 loved the place and want to return. The location was confident to the beach and walking distance to the town. One suggestion would be to update the outside grill.

Our family had a great time. Our (adult) children and their children loved the house and the location. As the property description states... we were approx. 500' from York Harbor beach and it was so convenient for visiting/ using multiple times of the day. The house is older, with a lot of charm and our daughter in law (a great baker/cook) thought the kitchen was as well stocked as her own kitchen. Great spaces in the house for multiple activities. We had a great time and will definitely consider a return visit.
