Great family vacation

We were very happy with our stay here. The location is amazing! It is a quick walk tothe beach and even though we were so close to the beach and all the shops, arcade, restaurants, etc it was so quiet. Tiffany and Jimmy were amazing to work with. They are very easy to communicate with and were quick to respond whenever we reached out to them. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying there again!

In the heart at Short Sands

Close to Short Sands beach, shopping, zoo and park. Nice 15-20 minute walk to Long Sands beach. Yard is small but there is a small porch. Sleeping for six was tight but all areas were very clean. Kitchen area was pleasantly large for a small unit.

Loved this place!

My family and I had a great time at this condo. The condo was perfect for all our needs--even had a washer and dryer!--but best of all you're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the beach and dozens of shops, restaurants, and fun things to do... Like a zoo and amusement park! Be sure to check out Nubble lighthouse, too, only five minutes away. I highly recommend this place for a family who wants to vacation in York and spend time at Short Sands Beach (which is gorgeous, by the way). Portsmouth is just 15 minutes away too, so you have lots of fun options on a vacation!

Location, location, location! When I’m on vacation I’d rather not drive anywhere. This is that place. 2 minutes to the beach. Felt like less. Back for lunch and siesta. Back to the beach for more sun and fun. The end unit was super convenient and quiet. Hose and bucket to wash off your feet and toys before dinner. 2 mins back out for ice cream, t-shirts and another lobster roll. The space is bright, cool, and clean. My family and I will come back to this location 101%!

My family and I just spent the weekend at this townhouse in York. We such fun weekend. This townhouse was wonderful. We certainly enjoyed our stay, absolutely perfect location for everything from beach to restaurants and shopping. The townhouse was great, met all of our needs. It was fully equipped with everything one would need. You don’t need to bring a thing. You literally park your car and walk everywhere.

Great location, I parked my car at check in and drive again until we left, very walkable. Property was exactly as listed. Owners were responsive and welcoming (which I very much appreciated since i cancelled a different property because of poor communication with that owner) they really wanted us to have a great stay! We definitely did! Thank you!
