Wonderful stay

We had a quick getaway with my family for my mother’s 75th. The house was so cozy and unique. We made so many memories this week and so grateful to the wonderful owners who welcomed us in their home. The house had everything we needed and comfortably slept the 6 adults and 3 kids. Great weekend!

Great time...Hot nights!

I would have given this an easy 5 stars, but every night was difficult for all of us, even with the windows open and fans on. That was the only slight for this wonderful house with great antiques, musical instruments, ease of access to beaches and the Nubble Lighthouse.We enjoyed the hot tub, which easily fit 2 adults and 3 older kids with plenty of space all around!The farmers porch, with several Adirondack chairs was a frequent morning landing spot for coffee enjoying the York morning air. All of us really enjoyed that area throughout the day to relax, read, or just have some lazy time away from one another.Each room had its own decorative uniqueness which made the home comfortable. Learning about the history of the home made it even more special getting to be part of it.Lastly, the distance to Short Sands was perfect for our children. They walked nearly every day to the candy shops, ice cream stands, and the arcade.

Great location for a family beach vacation

Our 3 generations had a great time at this big old home with all the modern updates. Perfectly situated between Long Sands and Short Sands, the house has plenty of room to spread out and we all loved the big porch, where we had coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. Lori and Peter were wonderful hosts, responsive and accommodating!

Family Beach Vacation

We had four generations stay at the main house and cottage for a beach vacation. Lori and Peter made sure that the house was fully equipped with everything we needed and more! The hot tub was so nice on chilly evenings and we loved having a game night in the large dining room. We even had a cornhole competition on the big lawn! Thanks for a great week, we made so many nice memories. - Joel & Stephanie

The Happy Place

Our group has been having a get a way for the last 26 years and this house at the top of the list. It fit the group perfectly and was well equipped. Even though the weather wasn’t great there was lots to see and do in the area. Sorry we didn’t get to the beach. All agreed we would consider coming back even though we have never repeated a location. Thanks for your hospitality

Cozy

Nicely appointed house in a great location with great signage throughout. Walking to York or the Hubble Lighthouse is easy. Other popular destinations are short driving times. Six of us stayed and were very comfortable. It was nice to have various items like spices, condiments, cleaning supplies available for use. Linens and towels are extra. Owners are very responsive and friendly. We would visit again.
