About this property

Beautiful York Beach Home • Walk to Long Sands • Sleeps 6

A beautiful, thoughtfully appointed home near Long Sands Beach — with the space, comfort, and amenities to make your Maine vacation feel easy.

Enjoy the best of York Beach from The Ridge Road Retreat, a recently updated 2-bedroom home just a short walk from Long Sands Beach. This isn’t a typical beach cottage: the home offers a bright, open layout, vaulted ceilings, central air conditioning, a well-appointed kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and a private fenced yard designed for relaxing after a day at the beach.

For summer 2027, we are offering weekly Saturday-to-Saturday stays.

A HOME DESIGNED FOR VACATION
The bright, open-concept living space brings the kitchen, dining area, and living room together beneath beautiful vaulted ceilings. It’s a comfortable place to gather for meals, morning coffee, family game nights, or simply relaxing after a day in the sun.

The kitchen is fully equipped for those who enjoy cooking on vacation, with a dishwasher, Nespresso and Keurig coffee makers, complimentary coffee pods, spices and seasonings, and the everyday essentials that make meal preparation easy.

The home also features central AC, high-speed Wi-Fi, washer and dryer, Smart TV, and parking for 4–5 vehicles.

WALK TO THE BEACH
Long Sands Beach is approximately a 10-minute walk from the house. We’ve made beach days especially easy by providing:
● Beach chairs
● Beach wagon
● Beach toys
● Cool Cabana shade shelter
● Beach umbrella
● Wheeled YETI cooler
● Soft-sided cooler
● Beach towels
● Boogie boards

After a day of sun and sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading inside.

YOUR PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE
The fully fenced backyard gives you room to relax and enjoy the outdoors without giving up the comforts of home.

Grill dinner on the Weber grill, gather around the outdoor dining table, let the kids play, or end the evening around the Solo Stove fire pit under the stars.
It’s a wonderful place to unwind after a beach day.

COMFORTABLE SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The home sleeps up to 6 guests:
● Bedroom 1: King bed
● Bedroom 2: Queen bed + two twin beds

Please note the bedroom layout: The wall separating the two bedrooms extends approximately halfway to the ceiling rather than being fully enclosed. This design keeps the home bright and airy while creating separate sleeping areas. Guests who require complete floor-to-ceiling privacy between bedrooms should keep this in mind when booking.

THE LITTLE THINGS MATTER
We’ve tried to provide the extras that make a week at the beach feel effortless:
● Bed linens, bath, and beach towels
● Bath and beach towels
● Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
● Laundry detergent
● Board games and children’s activities
● High chair and booster seat (available upon request)
● Pack ’n Play (available upon request)
● Desk and monitor/workstation (available upon request)

YOUR YORK BEACH HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Spend your mornings at Long Sands, explore York’s shops and restaurants, visit Nubble Lighthouse or nearby attractions, and come home to a quiet, comfortable space where you can spread out and relax.

The Ridge Road Retreat is a home—not just a place to stay—where you can settle in and enjoy a full week at the Maine coast.

2027 SUMMER RENTALS
Summer 2027 stays are offered Saturday-to-Saturday.
If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-appointed York Beach home for your summer vacation, we’d love to have you stay with I us

House was wonderful. Had everything we could need for our stay. Was close to York beach and Ogunquit. Very family friendly with toys and games for kids to play with. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return for a longer stay.

Exactly what you want from a vacation rental. Close to the beach, centrally located to shops and a nice place to retreat at the end of the day. Property was clean and comfortable. House came with everything that makes a vacation easy with all the things you need for a beach day. Lots of kids toys which made my own kiddos very comfortable upon arrival. Cannot recommend enough.

We just got back from a short trip to York. I was a little nervous to book with no reviews yet, but you should feel great about booking yours. This place is a gem!The house was bright and airy. Vaulted ceilings, open living and kitchen space...none of that dated beach cottage feel. It felt like a home, not a rental. The beds were super comfortable, with nice bedding and towels that seemed new. On the bedrooms: they're separated by a real wall, so it's fully private. You can't see over. It's just not entirely soundproof. The kitchen was stocked well too... spices, foil, storage bags, plus a Nespresso and Keurig with pods. We never had to run out for basics. Getting to the beach was easy. We walked through an adorable little neighborhood of backstreets, maybe ten minutes each way. Everything we needed was already at the house. They had chairs, umbrella and a cooler. We threw it in the wagon and went. We didn't drive, but there looked to be open spots near the beach later in the afternoon (metered, I think 4/hr). For food, we found the Oceanside Store near the bathrooms at Long Sands, which was great for snacks and beach essentials. We also grabbed steamed lobsters from Off the Boat Lobsters and ate them at the table in the yard. We had a small question and the host was quick to respond, which was great. It was clear a lot of care went into the place before we arrived. Book this place. You'll be glad you did!

Why they chose this property

Having spent two weeks every summer on Long Sands growing up, I fell in love with York at an early age. My husband and I purchased this property because we wanted our children to enjoy the same magical summers that shaped so many of my favorite memories. We are delighted to share our home and our love of York with guests who are looking to experience everything this wonderful community has to offer.

What makes this property unique

We believe what makes The Ridge Road Retreat special is the combination of location, comfort, and thoughtful touches. Just a 10-minute walk from Long Sands Beach, the home is stocked with many of the items guests usually have to pack themselves, from beach gear and family games to toiletries, linens, and kitchen essentials. We designed the space to be relaxed, family-friendly, and easy to enjoy, with a fully fenced backyard, outdoor dining, a fire pit, and plenty of room to unwind after a day at the beach. Our goal is simple: to help guests arrive, settle in, and immediately start enjoying their vacation.
