About the host
Hosted by Cathy Scott
I have been vacationing in York Beach for many years and have always come to this area to celebrate Summer with family and friends. I know you will fall in love with the York Beach area and its many treasures! I adore my house which I decorated as 'beachy' and named 'The Great Escape', and know you will fall in love with it too!
Why they chose this property
This area really does have it all for a fun and relaxing vacation, with multiple beaches, hiking, outlet shopping, and quaint restaurants and shops. They don't call it 'Vacationland' for nothing! Some of my favorite places include the Fun-O-Rama arcade and Goldenrod with their salt water taffy kisses! Portsmouth and Portland are both a short drive away and a car drive up coastal route one is an adventure. Both Ogunquit and Wells are very accessible and provide many outings and adventures for all.
What makes this property unique
The Great Escape has all the amenities that one could ask for, whether you are looking for a weekend get away or planning a family vacation. You can walk to the beach, run along the coast to Nubble Light, or relax in your covered porch. Fire up the grill or throw some lobsters in the pot, you have all the comforts of home in the newly refinished kitchen if you decide to stay in for the night.
We have parking for four cars, two separate 'hang out' areas with TVs and seating, multiple dining spots in kitchen, living room and deck, beach cart and boogie boards to borrow.
