About this property

Right on Long Sands Beach!

You will never regret renting this lovely one bedroom apartment right on Long Sands Beach. Built in 2012, everything is still brand new! The deck, with it's unobstructed bold ocean front views will amaze you! Sit there and watch the sunrise over the Atlantic, walk across the street for fun in the sun all day, and then enjoy a glass of wine on the deck as you watch the sunset. This is such a wonderful setting to simply relax and enjoy all Maine has to offer. The unit features central air, cheerful kitchen and tons of windows to view the ocean. The glass enclosed deck allows you to sit and watch the waves splashing and the people strolling on the beach. The unit has one bedroom with a queen bed and a fold down futon in the living room. New kitchen and new bath means you do not have to worry about coming in to a rental only to find it is not updated and not clean. This unit is delightful! The house is conveniently located steps away from Long Sands General Store. Locally owned and operated, this is the gathering spot for your morning coffee, a great take out lunch or any last minute items you need for a picnic at the beach. Just a few more steps down the beach, enjoy a summer cocktail, light lunch or very nice dinner at the Stone's Throw Restaurant. Jump on the trolley or walk to downtown York Beach. There, you will find many more restaurants, bars, shopping, a great playground for the kids and York's Wild Kingdom. This is a zoo and small amusement park. Play mini-golf, ride the Carousel, see the animals and enjoy some cotton candy. There is a spiral staircase to access the apartment. Parking for one small car or small SUV only. Outdoor shower. We require a minimum stay of 7 nights during the summer and unfortunately, we do not accept pets. Finally, there is no smoking on the property, which means the balcony too. We appreciate your cooperation with this.

There is parking for 1 car, behind the house in-front of the spiral staircase. Reminder, the spiral staircase is the only access in and out of the 3rd floor apartment

Perfect spot

This was the perfect little weekend getaway spot for my wife and I. The property is in a great location and you can’t beat the view. As a lifelong York Beach vacationer, you can’t get much better than this spot!

All you need

Beautiful and quaint place. Location is perfect. As the listing states, the beach is ride across the street and only a short walk from downtown York. Owners are incredibly friendly and offered some of their own beach items for us to use.

This spot is the perfect location with the perfect view. The stairs were a little scary but it’s worth it. So close to the general store - we loved it!!

Perfect for family of 4

Our boys shared the futon (8 & 11), hubby and I had the bed. Plenty of room for everyone. The stairs were tricky bringing things up and down, but made me felt better about indulging in the yummy local fare!

York Beach Vacation

The rental was great, very clean, comfortable, everything you could ask for. Spiral staircase was a bit of a challenge, and parking was difficult in the space provided. Great experience though, would definitely do it again!

Great Location, Awesome View - Recommended

Perfect location - right across the road from the beach, right near the general store. Brand new unit, great front deck area with awesome view. The property managers were nice, helpful and responsive. The only downsides to the unit are the small parking space (big cars won't fit) and the spiral staircase (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). The stairs are steep and hard to carry large loads up, so pack lightly in smaller bags. You do get used to the stairs, but I wouldn't recommend for kids or people who have trouble with stairs. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property and hope to return next summer.

Very nice if you don’t mind the stairs.

The location was great and the property was very nice with a beautiful view and great balcony. There is a spiral staircase that goes to the apartment, so if you are afraid of heights or have mobility issues, it would probably be best to avoid. We used a couple of small suitcases instead of one large one and I don’t think there is any way we would have gotten our large one up the steps. Parking is also pretty tight. We have a jeep Cherokee and I think anything larger would have been difficult to park. If you are ok with the spiral stairs and aren’t traveling in a large vehicle, it is a very nice property.

Beautiful views from a balcony overlooking Long Sands Beach. What more can you ask for? The spiral staircase makes it difficult to bring bags into the apartment but the view makes the trek up there worth it.

Wonderful hosts and an amazing view.

My husband and I first stayed at this property in 2015 and it has maintained its immaculate condition in 2025. Tom and Bev are the friendly and gracious owners who live in the lower two floors of this property. They are friendly, kind, and happy to accommodate your requests. The third floor balcony is the best feature of the property. You can have a snack. Read a book, drink a cocktail, eat lunch, while enjoying the beautiful view. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful rental. The advertised third floor outdoor spiral staircase can be a challenge for those with mobility issues, but the advertisement clearly states that it exists. This property contains every essential that you need to enjoy a weeklong stay at York Beach.

Excellent location, amazing view, very clean and comfortable property. The only disadvantage is the 3 flights of circular metal stairs to reach the property and the tight parking space. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

If you are looking for a beach location, this is it! Directly across from the beach with a great porch for morning coffee and evening relaxing with a great view and sounds of the surf. The stairs are tricky but well worth the space!
