Best place we've stayed in 10 years of visiting York

The York hut is exactly what a beach cottage should be! The accomodations were all wonderful, we LOVED the outdoor shower. We would definitely stay again!

Happy you enjoyed your stay! While out of our control, we are still very sorry you experienced a fire drill. That’s definitely not part of the amenities. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Quick walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood and a small yard with adequate room for young kids to play ball. Cottage was clean and well appointed with anything we needed. Outdoor shower was great! Beach wagon was awesome to have and made for an easy walk to the beach.

What a great little spot! We had such a great time at the York Hut. We are a small family of 3 (2 adults, 1teen) and it was perfect for us. Spent all our evenings in the backyard watching the fire in the fire pit, days were at the beach. Super relaxing week. The outdoor shower was great! The cleanest I’ve ever used, and no spiders!

We simply love this place

It is clean, has all the dishes and other kitchen items that allows us to eat and prepare meals on-site instead of paying the high price of eating a restaurants all the time. The outdoor shower is perfect after a warm day at the beach. The walk to Long Sands beach is easy and we love the beach cart for carrying beach umbrellas, towels etc. It is also an established neighborhood with many summer cottages and a few full-time residents, so at night it is QUIET. See ya next year.

Beautiful and cozy cottage

Perfect 2 bedroom cottage VERY close to beach. Took us 5 minutes to walk from door to beach. Home was neat and clean, nice furniture with everything you need for your vacation. Beach buggy. Fire pit. All pots and pans and utensils are fully stocked. Remember to bring your own towels and linens! Not our first time staying at the York Hut and definitely not our last! The host, Kimberly, was extremely helpful and responsive! Five Plus stars!!!

Wonderful trip!

Our trip was great! We loved “the hut”. It fit our family of 4 perfect. Check in was a breeze. Kim was very responsive on any questions I had. Super friendly and helpful. House was very clean, we had everything we needed in the house. The wagon/buggy, was awesome. About a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Loved having a fire at night. I guess if I were to complain, the bedroom in the adult room, the mattress was a little to firm for my liking. But everyone is different. But, it’s a super cute place with great people owning it. There binder is huge with all the menus for eating places in the area!.. We hope to be back. Thank you guys for a great week! Brian F.

Great Stay

Quaint little place. Very clean. Loved the fire pit in the back, very nice on chilly nights. Not a bad walk to Long Sands but we ended up driving. There is a beach cart for your use located at the back of the house but no beach chairs. What I did love is that there is a small washer and dryer located in the bathroom. It came in so very handy. All in all, we had a lovely stay and would stay here again.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 November 2020
We enjoy providing our renters a beach wagon that is the envy of the beach. We do not provide beach chairs as indicated in the amenities. The walk to the beach is a straight .3 miles to the center of Long Sands and bath house. This is also highlighted in the cottage description. The location of the cottage and proximity to the beach provides privacy when you want to relax but close enough to be in the heart of the action in less than 10 minutes.
