Getaway in York
Spacious cabin. Clean and comfortable. Perfect for a cost effective family vacation. Bathroom small and shower a bit dated. An easy walk to the southerly end of Long Sands beach.

the Trash
The only problem was that we did not know what to do with trash so we took it home with us -- we did reach out but all were super busy being a holiday weekend

Great location, very clean
Cottage has a great location, you can walk to the beach easily. It was spacious and very clean. Great outdoor space with chairs and grill, as well as a rack for drying bathing suits and towels! They even left a tide chart on the fridge. The only constructive criticism I have is that the cottage can be hard to locate as the number is not clearly marked from the street. An easy fix would just be a simple sign that says “parking for [address]” in the parking area. I texted for help when I could not locate it and they promptly replied with clarified directions which was great. I would definitely stay here again!
