Perfect Family Escape! Walk to everything and relax. It’s all here for you

Perfect family getaway just 2/10 of a mile to Long Sands, 3/10 of a mile to York Wild Kingdom and 6/10 of a mile to Short Sands. It’s in a quiet spot and just minutes away from the action! You can literally park your car and never have to drive it again while enjoying all York Beach has to offer.

This 4 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home is the perfect backdrop to the memories you will make on your York Beach vacation. A sparkling clean home with a kitchen opened to dining area and comfortable living room (with window a/c). This home is also located on a quiet private road off another quiet private road. You will have great outdoor space with privacy to set up shop for playing lawn games, eating al fresco, roasting marshmallows or simply enjoying the 3 seasons porch. All while still hearing the waves crash upon the ocean shore (if there aren’t too many a/cs on).

This place is perfect for us. Really quiet and safe for the children (it's on a private dirt road away from the crowds) but a 5-10 minutes walk will bring you to short sands beach or long sand beach, your choice ! The house is super comfortable and everything is there for families. We will be back !

Been going to York since I was a kid and been in a variety of places. Tried Kevin and Amy's and it was a great fit. Short walk to the beach and town make it perfectly situated for families. Very highly recommended!!

Perfect Location!
A fun time was had by all! This house could not have been in a better location- literally between 2 sands! Long Sands beach, with its packed sand, was perfect for evening walks, reading and playing some volleyball. Short Sands beach had sun, sand, and a nice breeze- a perfect beach day. And how many people can say they WALKED to the zoo?! Everything less than 10 minutes away. Plenty of room for all at the house. Nice quiet neighborhood. Would def stay again!

More Than Expected
The house was spacious. Providing comfort for 4 adults, a preteen and a teenager. All amenities of home were available, no need to pack anything except your clothing and the washer/dryer was a major us. The home's location is in a quiet neighborhood with an easy 5 minute walk to Long Sands Beach and +/-7 minutes to Short Sands Beach the York Beach downtown area for dining, arcade fun and souvenirs. The family enjoyed are stay and have booked for next year.

Would go back again and again
Such an ideal location, great house, so well furnished. We were 10 and all had an amazing stay. The outdoor living - the screened porch/outdoor shower/firepit/grass area… - was where we spent most of our time, and the short walk to the beach was pleasant. Amy was fast to respond and very helpful. Strongly recommend and would go back!

GREAT VACATION HOME!
We have rented many homes, and we loved that this rental provided all our essentials coffee filters, toilet paper, soap in the restrooms and kitchen, and garbage bags, to name a few, were there and waiting for us, so we could immediately go the beach. This was so thoughtful of them. We also loved the little touches of the fire pit with wood, toys for our grandson, and the outdoor shower! It was glorious!

Perfect beach getaway
This house was a great location for a weeklong getaway to the beach! We stayed with our kiddos and the house was perfect. The kid stuff that was available made traveling with littles a breeze and I was so thankful for that! The walk to the beach was great and my kids loved getting to walk to get ice cream and to Long Sands General Store for breakfast sandwiches. The outdoor shower stole the show! So perfect after a day at the beach! Amy was so great to work with and was so responsive when I had questions during our trip. My kids are already talking about next year!

Great House!
Our time at York Beach was excellent, due primarily to our stay here. I was surprised how spacious the house is, as it seemed smaller in the photos! It is pretty close to the beach (I would say less than a 10 minute walk) and is so private and quiet, which was awesome. The screened porch was a highlight, as was the air conditioning, which many houses at York Beach don’t have. Any amenities that we would want or need were included, which made the trip much easier. To demonstrate how great the owners of the house are, they gave us a discount because the landscapers showed up to do some extensive work while we were there, which wasn’t supposed to occur until the following week. It wasn’t much of a bother to us but the fact that they proactively reached out to us to both (unnecessarily) apologize and provide a discount demonstrates how much they want their guests to enjoy their stay. All in all, a great experience and we would absolutely recommend staying here.

Great house Great vacation
This house was perfect for our group and made for a great vacation. Very clean and comfortable especially the beds. The kids ages 2-7 had a variety of toys especially the sand toys and the beach cart made getting to the beach easy. The walk was short and the kids loved the wagon. We are looking forward to next year!

Great for young kids
This house was great for our stay with two young kids. The house was very clean and both beaches were easily walkable for the kids. We took advantage of the wagon, beach cart, toys and chairs on our trips to the beach, as well as the private outdoor shower afterwards. There were also plenty of toys and books for the kids to play with when the weather wasn’t great. There was a minor hiccup with the door lock when we arrived, but the host was super responsive and fixed the issue immediately.

Great house, great location!
I can’t say enough great things about this house, we had a great time during our stay. It’s a very short distance walk to long sands beach and to downtown/short sands. It’s also located on a road that you can avoid the traffic on long sands. The house was clean and the owners supplied a lot of household items to help make our vacation easier. I contacted the owner prior to checking in and she was very responsive, they also supplied a quick summary PDF that was helpful. We liked the house so much we’re coming back next year! You won’t be disappointed if you book this house!
