Sunny days in York, Maine

Location was great. We walked to Short Sands daily, including walking with preschoolers. Yard was great, we used the deck daily for meals and the yard for playing and the firepit for s'mores. The new kitchen was lovely with the tall ceilings and workspaces. The art on the walls was amazing. York has many excellent restaurant choices within easy driving distance. Furniture was humble. The older side needed a fresh coat of paint. The inbetween bedrooms were sad...., what were those square things on the wall side? Walking thru bedrooms was uncomfortable. Plug in new kitchen didn't work, nor reset, the one by the stove.

Great beach location and lots of privacy

The location of the house was great - it was at the end of a cul de sac so very quiet and private. Distance to beach was perfect, quarter mile walk on a quiet side street. Communication with Mark was easy. There was a slight problem with a dishwasher when we got there that wasn’t really impacting us and someone came to fix it the next day. The house had plenty of room for our group of ten. The only improvement I could see is an update to the queen beds. They’re pretty squeaky and a little uncomfortable. All in all a great stay!

Beach week

We had a great week in York. The location was great about 8 minutes to the beach. The house had plenty of beds to accommodate our large family. It has a big deck that we used several times to eat and hangout as well as a fire pit and a good size yard which was great for our grandchildren.

Great location, great home

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The home is huge, in a relatively private location, has a pretty good sized yard, and the beach was about a 5 minute walk away through a back street with really low traffic.
