We enjoyed our stay at the Short Sands Beach house. Close to the Beach and downtown happenings. The house was comfortable and well equipped for our stay.

Amazing stay

This is a fabulous cottage for a family, closed to York downtown and a 5 minutes walk to Short Sands. The house is very well equipped, exactly as described and the backyard is very nice for children. We are looking forward to come back next year!

Great host! Great location!

Plenty of room for a family of 5. Great location with a large backyard so you don’t feel crammed in unlike some rentals. Everything you’re looking for at Short Sands is just a short walk away. Park the car and leave it. The host was very pleasant and communicative. We look forward to staying again. Thank you!
