A great spot! This lovely house has so much room. It’s nicely updated and super clean!
Short walk to the long sands beach is just perfect for the whole family. James, the owner is super easy to reach and answers every question!
The area has a lot to offer too!

Multi-generational family had a wonderful time together at this rental. The short walk to the beach was manageable for young children which was a huge plus! We also enjoyed the ability to walk to a few restaurants (loved Stones Throw) and ice cream. Additional activities enjoyed by our group included the playground and shopping at Shorts Sands, Fox's restaurant and the Nubble Light House, golf and outlet shopping.

Great house and lots of space for 14 people.
Great location on quiet street near the beach.
Only downside is that the dining tables are small if you have a large group

The house was new, clean and modern. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. Very clean when we arrived. The host was always quick to respond. Beach was a short walk. Would definitely recommend to a large group.

My spouse, myself, and our wedding party and their family stayed at this lovely home. We found the home to be in a quiet and pleasant location. It was convenient for multiple day trips and as a home base for the group. We were able to not only plan the day and arrange gifts, but I was even able to get some work done.
5.0
The house was beautiful, clean with lots of space for my 3 teens to spread out. Kitchen space was new and we were happy to find it stocked with a keurig and coffee (which saved my husband). Everything exceeded expectations and we wished we could stay longer! Would highly recommend! Plenty of room for a large family or for kids to bring a friend. Great communication with James absolutely no issues the whole weekend was so smooth.

We rented from James for Labor Day weekend 2022. He’s a wonderful and right to the point communicator. The home is literally perfect - it has everything you need and it’s modern and clean. We loved the proximity because you can walk easily to Short Sands on Railroad St or you can take the short cut and come right out on Long Sands! Best of both worlds!
James’ home has everything you need from laundry to kitchenwares to games. The living room was so comfortable and it has a fireplace with a large TV above with Hulu and other streaming channels.
The construction of the building is excellent, solid so it’s quiet and not creaky. All bedrooms have an AC unit, TV and ceiling fans. We will be back. Thank you again, James!
5.0
Great house. It has everything one needs. Perfect location for the beach and sightseeing.
Nice quiet neighborhood close to everything. Walk to Long Sand Beach and a few outstanding restaurants.
The owner was great at communicating through the VRBO app.
We would definitely stay here again.
5.0
We had a fantastic time … house was roomy for all our family and our “buffer” friends that joined us here and there throughout the week … IF I had to say something … it would be that the shower stalls needed a soap dishes (which the good ole Dollar Tree came through in a pinch) ;) but really the entire process was easy peasy

Owner was very attentive to all questions that I had!! House was suitable for our large family and great location to walk to beach, stores, and restaurants.

Great house, great location!
We had a great week renting this home. The convenient, short walk to the beach was the best. The home was clean, updated and offered more than we needed for the week. We rented the home with my brother in law and sister in law, combined we have 7 children and had plenty of living space to spread out but hang and dine together nicely as well. Laundry area had soaps and dryer sheets to use, bathroom drawers stocked on toilet paper and hand soaps - all unexpected pleasant surprises that I haven’t seen at other rentals! All bedrooms plus kitchen had window AC units and TV’s equipped for streaming. James was easy to work with and communicate with for our booking and leading up to the rental. Timely responses which I appreciated greatly. Overall beautiful home, minimal outdoor space aside from back deck area unless you can use gravel driveway (our kids too young for that) but deck was great for dining and relaxing on. We look forward to renting here again!

Happy Family Weekend Stay
My wife and I decided to make our 50th wedding anniversary an immediate family affair. We spent two nights at this property, and it was everything it was advertised to be. The home was awesome. The walk to the beach was short and easy with lots of great restaurants nearby. All eight adults and six grandchildren (8-15) agree.

Beachside Bachelorette
This house was the perfect setting for a bachelorette weekend getaway! It slept and entertained 13 friends and the bride with room to spare! James was an incredibly helpful and attentive host - would love to work with him again in the future!

Perfect home for York family vacation
Everything about our stay was perfect! There was plenty of space in all the rooms. Between the 14 of us, it never felt like we were on top of each other. 5 minutes walk to long sands, and an even quicker drive to short sands beach. Highly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to return next year!!!

Great family home
Everyone had their own space!! Worked out perfectly for us, made so many memories and the children loved "their" room! Yes, the road is rough, but for good reason...no one can speed down THAT road!!

Perfect House for family
This house was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 8 month old baby. All couples had their own room even the baby. The layout is great with all bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. Enough comfortable furniture in the living room area to accommodate all adults. Layout was also safe for the baby to crawl around without worrying about glass or unsafe furniture. Beds were all very comfortable. We also loved the location which was a short 5 minute walk to Long Sands Beach, our favorite beach!! Communication with host was awesome . We will book again!!

Great stay!
I booked this house for a long weekend with my friends, a group of 10, and we had the best time! The house was very clean, check-in was easy, and the house is just a short walk to the beach which was a big plus for our group. There's a cute farm stand, called Grateful Gardens, just a short drive from the house that we went to every morning for coffee and pastries. I'd definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a nice, relaxing beach trip!

Girls Weekend 2021
We had a group of 13 ladies ages ranging from 21-83.this was our 20th year of getting together like this and this house work well for us. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach and back when we wanted. We were able to make our meals in the kitchen with no problems., Only one recommendation from my 83 year old aunt was to maybe add some no slip strips or mats in the master bathroom shower.

Critique.
We would return again if possible, thank you.
FYI master shower needs attention, tends to leak unless you turn it off very tight. Toilet water closet will continue to run unless you jiggle the handle, valve not closing properly.
We found verticles on slider damaged, hard to operate.
