About this house rental
Welcome to 21 A Ocean Ave Extension! Located between the beaches, this charming rental provides a rare opportunity for the perfect vacation in Maine. Modern amenities make for a relaxed and comfortable week (or two!) at the seacoast, in a small beach town with an atmosphere reminiscent of the way life used to be or, as we say in Maine, "the way life should be". The deck overlooks Short Sands Beach. There is cable TV, Wi-Fi, an outdoor grill, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for preparing meals. 21 A Ocean Ave Extension is located so close to everything you can literally park the car and leave it for the week while you enjoy walking to two beaches and downtown York Beach. If you are familiar with the Short Sands area, you know there is plenty for everyone to do. Of course there is a sandy beach, but also a large modern playground, penny candy, casual and fine dining options and of course, ice cream shops! York Beach is unique in that it offers entertainment for the family that will remind you of yesteryear. York's Wild Kingdom is a small amusement park with a very nice zoo. We have our gazebo near the ocean where you can listen to live music many nights a week plus arcades and bowling. For those who are looking for more mature amusement, there are a few nicely appointed bars within an easy walk where you can sit outside and enjoy a refreshing adult beverage while enjoying the sights and sounds of our beachside town. If you want some day-trip excursions, there is so much to do in our area! Here are some great ideas for family fun: Whale Watching out of York Harbor or Perkins Cove, day trip to Ogunquit to enjoy that 5 mile sandy beach plus great restaurants and shopping or play at one of two public golf courses in York. York Village is robust with colonial history featuring historic museums where you can travel back in time. Perhaps you might enjoy fresh or salt water fishing. There are locals here who will offer deep water fishing or guided kayak excursions. There are tennis courts, scuba diving, paddle boarding and so much more! The Cliff House, located on Shore Road between York and Ogunquit, is a world wide destination with a dramatic $100 million renovation that was recently completed in 2016. Enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or indulge in their gourmet dining. If live theatre is something you would enjoy on your vacation...well, we have it! Check out the Ogunquit Playhouse where nationally known stars are known to perform throughout the summer. Portsmouth, NH (just over the border and about 10 minutes away) also has fine live theatre at the Music Hall. Speaking of Portsmouth, let's not forget this wonderful small city. Always known for being a unique seaside port town, a resurgence has occurred over the last decade making this city a nationally recognized destination vacation spot on its own. Fine dining, live theatre, and unbelievable shopping attracts thousands of visitors each year. We will do our absolute best to ensure you love your time here and want to come back year after year.

We had a wonderful stay!
It was so convenient and close to everything. We watched the grandkids play on beach right from the top deck. You could see the whole town from the house. Every night, we sat on the deck and listened to the band play at the pavilion and listened to the waves rolling in and out. I wish I knew how to post the video I took.
People walking by said, we had the best spot on the street. After walking around and looking, I thought so too.
The only thing I have a complaint about was, the toilets didn't look like they were cleaned very well and, I would echo some of the other replies that, there weren't enough blankets supplied. There were only light weight bedspreads and the pamphlet with all the info about the house didn't say when the garbage was to be put out for pick up. We were lucky to see the neighbors put theirs out in the morning. Not a big problem thou, when we were full, they sent someone right out. Other than those minor things, we will definitely come back.

We enjoyed our stay at this property with several young children. The deck was incredible and the proximity to Short Sands made our lives easy for beach, playground, arcade, shops, and restaurant access. We had a question on arrival and someone was at the house within minutes to help.

My favorite part of the house is the huge deck. It not only looks onto a beautiful ocean view but allowed the chance to be together for relaxing, eating, chatting in a wonderful space.
We will definitely be back next year.

We had a wonderful week here. Made lots of family memories! And you could not beat the location. And the porch was where we spent almost all of our time.

I stayed with a group of friends for a golfing trip. The house was amazing and the location is excellent. I read a review on the property suggesting bringing your own blanket, if you have a large group, I would second that recommendation.
The only issue to speak of was with a miscommunication in checking in. I hadn’t asked for the code ahead of time and it wasn’t provided anywhere until I requested it.
After that one minor hiccup, the remainder of the stay was great!

Amazing property and we want to go back!
Amazing views. I was however disappointed that tne property information binder was nowhere to be found. I also called the property manager upon arrival to make sure the tap water was safe to drink and she never called me back.

We had an extended family vacation and the location and views were outstanding! Everyone always came to “our” house—dinners on the deck, grandparents could sit on the deck and watch the grandkids play at the beach, the pre-teens could walk to the arcade!!!! We loved it!

Overall stay was great - even with not the best weather.
Only suggestion is making sure there are extra blankets as there was only 1 extra blanket but there are 8 beds.
Would definitely stay here again.

We’ve been coming to York for years, this was the the first time we stayed on this side of Short Sands. We spent a lot of time on the wonderful deck and the view from inside the house is spectacular. Great kitchen and living area and more than enough bedrooms. Very clean throughout. Our 3 generations of family had a great time.

We booked this house as we were going to a wedding nearby and decided to make a little vacation out of it. The house was in a great location and well stocked. It had everything we needed and easy communication for any questions we had

The second floor shower needs either grab bar or non-slip strips on the floor. Our 91 yr old father slipped and almost hit his head. I’m in the medical business and would recommend you consider this. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay.
