Beautiful Beach House

This is the second time my friends and I have stayed in this beautiful home. The location is perfect and the kitchen, living room and deck are wonderful places to hang out and relax. The shower door in the downstairs bathroom is broken and needs to be replaced. And the full bed really needs a new mattress and it would be nice to have a Queen in that room. Overall we had a great stay!

Beach House

The inside of the house was clean but they don’t keep up on repairs. The outside stairs are green and need to be power washed.

Loved the beach

The house was absolutely gorgeous as was the location. We were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness....rug under table had shredded cheese on it, hair in showers and/or carpet in downstairs bedroom, and some food crumbs on floor of living room. Also, all 3 beds downstairs were not even made. Our sheets were still in the dryer.

More communication about electronics

Beautiful house however it took us almost 2 days to get the tv working right, Bluetooth wouldn’t sink with our devices and only half if us could get on WiFi. It has all of the amenities but they are not clearly explained. Some of our group are extremely tech savvy they do IT for a living and had a hard time. Better explanation and written directions would be very helpful and would have allowed us to use all of the great amenities this place has to offer.

Weekend family trio

The house was great and the view of the beach was fantastic. We stayed for weekend but would have loved to stay longer. The house had everything we needed and was within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Whole family loved it and we will definitely be back again

Perfect location to celebrate UNH Graduations

3 years ago we chose a York VRBO to celebrate a UNH Graduation. We returned again to celebrate 2 more Graduates! York is a little further but offered beach access and a relaxing setting for the extended family This house was even better than the first. Perfect setup with 3 BRs on the first floor, open kitchen/dining/living area on the 2nd floor and “penthouse” MBR on the 3rd. Parking for 4 cars was tight, but the views from the windows and deck were great. Nice bar setup with plenty of glasses! Kitchen well stocked and had many spices. Grandparents were able to watch the livestreams on the large TV in the living area. Couldn’t ask for a better place to celebrate

Beachside Beauty

Beautiful home on the water, convenient to Maine coastal towns and Portsmouth, NH. Amenities were spare, so bring basics like napkins, good quality TP and paper towels and storage containers or baggies for kitchen needs.

Egress

We could only fine one means of egress, which was the entry door with the keypad. There is another door on the ground level, but it was locked and the lockbox keys did not open it. In addition, there appeared to be a door inside that leads to the ground level, but that was also locked and no key was provided. This may be in violation of the Maine fire code and should be corrected. I believe the code states that two means of egress are required in residential buildings.

Family Week at the Ocean

Seven adults in our family and one baby spent a week at York Beach. The home was lovely and we could walk right across the street to the beach. Early morning walks on the beach were wonderful with two coffee shops on the way! The home had chairs and beach toys available. The primary bedroom and bath were exceptional with a little balcony to sit on to watch the waves coming in. The kitchen/living area was beautiful as was the deck with eating area. The only suggestions we would have are an updated grill and more silverware and wineglasses. We had to wash dishes and glasses after every meal with our party of 8. Lovely area, lovely home.
