About this property

York, Maine – Welcome to Vacation By The Sea! This beautiful four-bedroom, two-bath home located in family friendly York, Maine is ideal for large families looking for the perfect summer getaway.

The open concept living space has a large living room with an additional private living area that can be used as an extra television or bedroom with its full-size sleeper sofa. The huge kitchen/dining area has seating for twelve guests. The sliding glass doors off of the dining room lead to a large deck, big enough to play corn hole on along with plenty of outdoor seating and gas grill for all of your BBQ needs! The big back yard is perfect for the kids to run around and play games.

On the lower finished level, you will find another living room with television and pool table for nights in. From this lower level out the back door is the large yard and clean, private outdoor shower with hot + cold water to wash off the sand from your day at the beach.

Upstairs, the second story has four big bedrooms. There are two queen rooms and two twin rooms. The twins can be easily converted to a King upon request. There are A/C window units to keep you cool on those hot summer days.

The house is stocked for all your vacation needs. The kitchen is supplied with everything you'll need from blueberry pancakes for breakfast to a traditional New England Lobster Bake. Quality linens and towels are included in your stay along with complimentary toiletries and snacks to get you started.

The laundry room has one washing machine and two dryers for all of your beach towels!

The location of this large home is convenient for walking either to Short Sands which has its Sandy Beach and York's Wild Kingdom along with Bowl-A-Rama, restaurants and cute shops! In the other direction is Long Sands, a sandy 1.5-mile-long beach and The Nubble Lighthouse.

Parking is available for five cars (almost unheard of in beach towns)!

There is much to see and do from this location. From a day at the beach to exploring the quaint New England towns from Portsmouth, New Hampshire to Portland, Maine! The options for your Maine Beach Vacation are endless; lobster boat or lighthouse tours, sailing, scuba diving off the Nubble, outlet shopping in Kittery or walking around Ogunquit and lunching in one of the many restaurants.

Kennebunkport is a classic quaint port town with outstanding water views from the town square that reminds one of days passed. Portland is an exciting city filled with museums, restaurants, microbreweries, shopping and tours!

Choosing this house as your home base is a great choice to create lasting memories of Maine!

2022 UPDATE: New mattresses, pillows and bedding!

Gals long weekend!

We love the Maine coastline and being with our girl friends. So, what better way to bring it together with a fun weekend in York. We chose Daniele’s place based on size and proximity. It was everything we hoped for; layout, ambiance, cleanliness, and warm n cozy. We utilized all the sleeping space and every room was comfortable and accommodating. Having 2 full bathrooms for 6 women proved to be time saving and smart. We had no intentions on cooking meals but everything you needed was there. In the end we made apple crisp and needed cinnamon…voila! Every step was spelled out with clear cut instructions and we felt very much at home. Thank you for sharing your space with us. As a bonus we had beautiful fall weather and attended Harvestfest. Perhaps next year we will be back….maybe in late September.

Family Wedding

Our stay was great. Plenty of room for all of us and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, even got to see some wildlife! I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to be close to everything York has to offer.

Enjoyable week

The property was very clean and communication with the property manager was excellent. We had a small issue with a shower handle and that was fixed within a few hrs. We enjoyed our stay.
