Perfect family vacation

We had a great vacation with family. Accommodations were great for our family. Able to walk to beach with toddlers and if needed return for naps/breaks for them. I would highly recommend this home away from home.

Our 3rd time at this well equipped and spacious townhouse! We had 8 adults and 4 children ranging from 2 months to 6 years. Location is perfect for families with young kids - short walk to Short Sands Beach, Playground, Arcade, ice cream and smoothies. The house is clean and well maintained with an amazing supply of beach chairs, sand toys and kids books and puzzles.

We had the best stay here! Can’t beat the location. We had 3 families staying with kids 2-8. Plenty of space for everyone, a beautiful deck that was nice and shaded to cool off after beach days. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and MORE than everything for the beach. Sheila was fantastic — reached out the day prior to check in with instructions. Hoping to come back next summer!!! Made the best memories.

This property is well appointed and maintained by the owners. I believe partly because of this and its location to easily walk down to York Short Sands, plus three floors with bedrooms and FOUR (4) full baths make it among very few that can comfortably handle 10-11 people. The owners are quick to respond to even the most mundane of questions texted to them.

Beautiful Week @ Short Sands

Another Fabulous week at Sheila’s Beautiful Beach House!! This was our second year renting from Sheila, soon to be third, we could not ask for a better place to enjoy York Beach. The house is in walking distance to the beach, restaurants & shops. Our two families have rented for the past 16 years in York Beach so we are thrilled that we found this gem that provides a comfortable space for all ten of us to relax. Sheila is a Wonderful Host & thinks of everything to make your stay Fabulous.

Awesome Family Vacation Place

This is our second summer vacation week at this condo. So much to do for children just inside the house - toys, games, books, movie DVDs, and a short walk to everything including the beach and stores near Short Sands Beach. Our host is extremely responsive and answers texts immediately. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including a griddle! I can't say enough positive things about the condo or our host. It was awesome!

Relaxing Beach Getaway

This rental has everything you need for a family vacation at the beach. Amazing location!! Just steps away from Short Sands beach and Long Sands is a short drive away. Sheila is a warm and welcoming host and her rental has so much space to spread out. It’s extremely clean and cozy and fully stocked, including all the beach essentials you’ll need for your stay. You’re also just steps away from all the cute little shops, restaurants and arcade. Highly recommend Sheila’s rental. My family made some amazing memories on this trip that will last a lifetime!

Home Away From Home

This house is amazing. We stayed here mid-July 2023 with our family of 5 (two adults, two teens and a tween). This was our third time staying here, and when we walked in the kids said it felt like our home away from home. As always, the house was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We have stayed here previously with 9 people and there is space for everyone to spread out, but also areas to congregate for socializing, game time or movie night. It’s less than a five minute walk to the beach or the center of town. Overall, the house and location can’t be beat and Sheila is wonderful to work with. TL;DR This house is awesome and you should rent it!

Exactly what we had hoped for!

We had a family wedding in York. The venue was less then two blocks away. We have semi adult kids 18-24 yrs old & my sister-in-law the same (23-29 yrs). The 2 families fit perfectly. Those that went up Friday night played games & hung out in the townhouse, it was cozy & clean. Lots of bathrooms to get ready for the wedding in on Saturday. We had time in between the church & reception and it was perfect being so close to the little town. We were able change & explore, there’s so much activity walking distance. The place was just what we hoped, really met our need! Easy to clean up & be out on Sunday but owner didn’t rush us since the next ppl weren’t expected until later. Easy check in (code). Just what we hoped since we were squeezing a really special niece’s wedding in between our daughter’s graduation ceremony on Friday night & her grad party on Sunday. Exactly the no fuss experience we needed!

We loved this property. Very clean lots of room for my family. 6 Adults, two 3 yr olds and 1 yr old. Plenty of parking for our 3 cars. We parked our cars and never needed to used them again all week. Shorts sands beach is about 100 yds , we were about 5 houses from the town shops and restaurants. Also the zoo is right in town. My grandsons loved the zoo. We would definitely recommend this property. The house was supplied with everything we needed. Sheila was great. Thank you Sheila we will definitely be back. Linda , Gary and family

Great Place-Perfect Location!

We make our way to York beach a few times every summer. We love the area and were looking for a place close to Short Sands and accommodating for 10-12 people. Sheila's home nailed it! The driveway is right off main street with plenty of room for 2-3 cars. Downtown and the beach is a quick 5 minute walk. Close enough to the beach, yet far enough away to be quiet and quaint when at the house. Sheila was very easy to communicate with. Check-In and Check-Out was contactless and easy. The townhouse is bigger that it looks in the pictures. There is plenty of room for large groups. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We did not have kids with us, but it we did there is a lot there for them. Games, toys, books, movies, beach toys. We really enjoyed this home and hope to be back again!
