About this house rental
This 2300 sq.ft. townhouse is just 500 ft. from beautiful Short Sands Beach and a 3 minute bike ride to Long Sands Beach. The location is centrally located in York Beach Village, just steps away from the shops and restaurants. The village is undergoing a revitalization and you will be at the very heart of it!! This property is becoming a favorite place for families attending weddings at the Union Bluff Hotel due to its size, number of bedrooms and the 3 minute walk from the Hotel.
The main floor (second floor of property) is bright and open with fully equipped modern kitchen, living room, dining area, full bathroom and queen bedroom. Boasting hardwood floors and a slider leading out to the deck for relaxing and those eat-in barbeques.
There are three bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs (third floor of property) all freshly carpeted and painted. There is an outdoor shower which is a must when those sandy little ones return from a day at the beach. There is parking for two cars, three if small.
Loads of summer beach activities are just a short walk away from your unit. York's Wild Kingdom and Amusement Park offers activities for the kids at a reasonable all day inclusive price. Check the zoo in the morning before the animals retreat from the heat, walk home for lunch and a siesta and then walk back for the rides a little later!! If you don't want to make lunch, multiple dining options are located on the walk between your beach paradise and the park!!
Short Sands Beach is just steps away as well. The property has beach chairs, beach toys and a beach cart for your convenience. The beach area has an arcade, playground, basketball courts and a summer music series at the public gazebo.
Long Sands beach is accessible as well by 15 minute walk, 3 minute bike ride or quick ride by car. The historic Nubble Lighthouse is located less than 5 minutes by car as well between the two beach areas. For those who like to jog/run/walk, the three mile scenic roundtrip to the light house can't be beat!! The ice cream at Dunn's Ice Cream on Nubble Road is a local's and visitor's favorite!!
Nearby activities include Perkin's Cove in Ogunquit that is a scenic 10 minute ride from your beach paradise off of Shore Road. There you will find more shops, dining, deep sea fishing, scenic cruises and the famous Marginal Way. The Outlet shopping of Kittery is 10 minutes away for a rainy day activity. Even something for the men on a shopping trip as they scour the multi-level Kittery Trading Post for all their outdoors needs! LL Bean is also about an hour away as well.
Both the City of Portsmouth NH and Portland ME are less than an hour away and offer a multitude of activities, dining, historic sites and shopping opportunities as well. Water Country is an exciting waterpark 20 minutes away that offers water slides and pools for all ages. Old Orchard Beach and Saco ME also have amusement parks as well at less than a 45 minute drive away. The Portland Sea Dogs is a great night out with tickets for a family of four costing less than the cost of one ticket at Fenway Park!!
Whatever your families needs are for summer fun you are sure to satisfy them with this modern town home as your base! Whether you just park the car for the week and enjoy all the sun and fun within walking distance of your unit or take daytrips to further enhance your vacation experience, this is sure to be your "Happy Place" at the end of the day!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The host provided just about everything you could need. We had a 1 year old with us and there was a crib, pack n play and highchair along with a baby gate so we didn't have to worry about her falling down stairs. We were within walking distance of Short sands so taking out the cars was only necessary for out of town trips, shopping etc. Plenty of room for our 3 cars. Other than our beach towels and our own food and toiletries, there wasn't much else we needed to bring.
An added plus, the weather cooperated.

Accomodations are excellent. Only issue we had was the individuals renting the other unit in the building were not considerate and partied 4 of the 8 nights staying up until after 2am. They were loud and it was tough sleeping.

The location couldn't have been any better. My family visited York for a wedding and used this house as our base camp for over a week. Tons of space and walking distance to everything around town. This was a great place to stay and looking forward to our next visit.
5.0
We were attending a family wedding for the weekend (3 nights) and needed a "larger than a hotel" room place for the family attending. This condo worked out perfect. It was large, clean and comfortable for us (6) adults. Plenty of space for all of us to get ready for the event. The location was a 5 minute walk to the wedding venue as well as the beach and all the amenities of "downtown" York. There were several "activities" scheduled for the wedding weekend and it was nice to have a close home base to go back and forth to easily.

We were in town for a wedding weekend. The location was perfect. Very easy walk to the beach and shops. The common area on the main floor was much larger than I expected from the pictures.
5.0
The rental home had everything we needed. The outside shower with the children was great. The owners were extremely responsive the entire time! Very easy walk to the center and short sands but a little too far with children to walk to long sands beach.

Property was spacious and equipped with everything you need. Very short walk to short sands and everything York has to offer. Nancy was very responsive and will definitely plan to stay again! Thanks for a fabulous family vacation.

Great location, plenty of space
This was the best location you could imagine for a rental in York Beach. It was about a three minute walk to the York Beach shop/restaurant area and another minute or two to Short Sands Beach which was perfect for our little kids. We would stay here again with small children in a heartbeat - just note there are a lot of stairs. There are baby gates, just depending on your kids’ ages you might be doing a lot of carrying if kids!
That said they also had toys for the kids too. Very thoughtful and really perfect for families.

Great place to stay!!
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. It had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Very convenient location. The owner is very responsive to questions. We had 4 adults and children from 9 months - 5 and there was plenty of room. We didn’t even use one of the bedrooms. The living area is spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the area and would definitely consider rebooking there if we had a large group again.

Great space for a large family
We had a wonderful stay and Nancy was super responsive and helpful. The four stars for neighborhood is just that we wish York was more bike friendly. Otherwise, it was a great stay. Thank you!

Great Accommodations
Property fit out needs for a family of 6. Within 5 minute walk to beach, great space for everyone, bedrooms spacious and the option to cook in or eat out made all of the difference. First experience renting versus staying in hotel setting, no comparison, we'll rent in the future.

Clean & convenient beach stay!
This property was perfect for our family! Very clean and well stocked with basic supplies. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Air conditioning in all bedrooms and ceiling fans in some. Lots of places to curl up and read a book. Great large table for games & puzzles at night. Location is a short walk to ocean and quintessential beach shops! Easy walk to an ice cream shop which was a nightly routine! Our family of 6 all agreed that this was a great location! Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach home with us!!

Spacious Home Great Location
We enjoyed our stay in this home. The home is spacious and well equipped. Location is only a few minutes walking distance to downtown York shopping, restaurants and arcade as well as Short Sands Beach. Everyone enjoyed having their own room and bathroom! Kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need. Even though this home is located on a high traffic road, it was very quiet and we weren’t bothered by any noise. Beds were comfortable and we all slept very well. I would highly recommend this home to families who wish to vacation together in York. You won’t be disappointed.
