Summary of reviews
Great location with clean and spacious houses near the beaches and lighthouse. Owners are responsive and helpful. Perfect for families and small groups.

The best part about Scott’s place is the amazing location. It’s a less than 10 minute walk to both Short and Long Sands Beaches. The pictures are pretty accurate and the house was pretty well cleaned when we arrived.
A few nit-picky things to consider:
air conditioners in the bedrooms were very loud. We just had to turn them on ahead of sleeping.
Bring extra paper towels, toilet paper, and hand soap.
Overall, we hardly spent time at Scott’s except to drop off our beach gear between outings, shower off, and sleep, so it served its purpose.

This is a great spot, it was our second time staying there. Close walk to both beaches, it's a really great location. One thing to be aware of if you have small children is that there are several sharp corners. Other than that it's a perfect spot for a small family.

We’ve been coming to York,ME for family vacation for over 25 years! We’ve rented several properties-some repeat and some new to us….this year we decided on this adorable rental for the week and once again York, ME did not disappoint! Exactly described and had immediate responses back from the owner with any questions we had! Our family will definitely come back to this property to enjoy more magical memories!!!! And if you’re listening, thank you Barbara for sharing your house with us!!! “Barbara’s Kitchen” will
Forever be another AWESOME memory!!!

We are a family of 5, two adults and 3 children ages 2, 4, and 7. We truly enjoyed our stay at this beach house. Just the right amount of space for our young family, super close walking distance with our beach caddie or stroller to either long or short sands and the fun that goes with both places! Awesome deck space! No bathtub but super easy to shower the babes with one of us! Absolutely the perfect location and we had everything we needed!! Scott is super responsive and communication was fast and easy! Definitely looking forward to renting here again, thank you for this opportunity!!

This house was perfect for our little family - and accommodated another couple with an infant as well. We loved the open concept feel, the spacious porch and the fact that we could walk to both beaches with ease.

My son refers to this as our home away from home. We have been lucky enough to stay here every year for the past 6 yrs. Recent updates to the property were great. Scott is always responsive and easy to work with. We hope to stay here again for many more years to come.

Perfect Location!
We loved it, exactly as described! LR/kitchen area is spacious and comfortable. Our weather was awesome so we spent most of our time out on the deck. Large deck with seating for 6 and a large gas grill ready to go! Location is spot on, right between both beaches! Easy walk either way! My husbands comment was “I could easily spend the summer right here!” We’ll def check availability for our next trip!

Disappointed Describes 2021
Sadly, after having rented this property a year ago when we would have given it an 8 of 10, this year we struggle to give it a 4 of 10. Lacking in quality is the key phrase. Everything from cleanliness to communication was better in 2020 than 2021. From leaking faucets to ants, from dirty carpets to lack of any amenities, sadly you get what you pay for. But wouldn't it be nice if you got just a little more? It would certainly make for a more enjoyable stay and allow for a more favorable review/ Lights that didn't work and others that couldn't be turned off. No directions for television and wifi that wouldn't connect. We learned a valuable lesson. If you want a camping experience this is the place for you. If you want a vacation experience, pay a bit more and find yourself happier in the end. We'll go down that path in 2022 in York Beach, Maine as we celebrate our 33rd summer the way life should be.

Pleasant Surprise
Perfectly centered chalet style house between the beach , the Lighthouse and the town which made walking to both super easy! Quiet, comfortable setting and Scott was very easy to communicate with.
Off the main strip which is a huge plus if your goal is to just relax!
Thanks Scott!!

Great location
My family and I enjoyed our stay here. The location is walking distance to either beach. Nice airy open room concept with small but adequate sleeping quarters. The grill needs updating (rusty) and was not usable to us but no other complaints. We would recommend.

Wonderful location, great communication
We have been staying at this property for years, so much so my son thinks of it as "our beach house ☺️". The owner is extremely responsive. Love the location

A perfect situation!
My husband and and our two teens stayed there for the week. The host is very responsive and helpful, the place was clean and allowed everyone enough space to not drive each other crazy! The location is five minutes from short sands or lining sands. I was pleasantly surprised! We will definitely be back!

Had a great stay with fiance and family guests. Quiet street location, convenient to beaches and downtown. Owner very responsive to any all questions.

nice cottage
Nice place with good amenities. Like most places, not enough towel racks for bath towels and shower could use a rack for soap, etc. Porch was best part, but cleaners should make sure table is cleaned like inside. Main house gets very stuffy when closed. Fan needs to run. Ceiling fans in bedrooms would could reduce use of AC. Scott was very helpful when we struggled with cable.

Very Nice Place
We had a very good time staying at this place. It was clean and comfortable and in close proximity to the beaches and the light house. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a few necessities that we didn't think to bring such as toilet paper and dish washing liquid; other than that there were no problems.

Great location. Perfect for my family of 5
This was my families first time staying in York and we loved it. The house was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The location was great as you can walk to Long Sands Beqch and Short Sands Beach, as well as the Nubble Light House. Very close to other landmarks. Will definitely rent next year.

great property to rent for any season
This property was great. Spent a week in July and enjoyed the beach, shopping and the house. I am of Japanese descent so the rental just fit. The people in the neighborhood were so friendly and nice. My mom joined us in the middle of the week and the pull out couch was so accommodating. The contact person, Jana is sooooo nice and helpful. Will definitely rent this house again next year.

Clean but very small
The house is cute, clean and well equipped but it is tiny in every way, especially the bathroom. If you weigh anywhere close to 200 lbs or stand anywhere near 6 ft tall, rent somewhere else.
The shower is small and the toilet area is tiny. Too many windows and sliders too - zero privacy.
Nice location, nice deck, but the size of the place was disappointing
