Short Sands Beach was recently named one of the 10 best beaches for a family vacation and you are on its doorstep! Relax on your front porch in one of our traditional wooden rockers as you watch the waves roll in or take in the nightly band concert at the gazebo. Park your car and put the keys away. Everything you could want to do is right outside your front door. No need to walk a long way or drive to the beach, step out the door and feel the sand between your toes.
Historic York Manor is a unique vacation complex, situated directly on Short Sands Beach, with dramatic ocean views of the open ocean. York Manor is one of the last vestiges of a time gone by. This is the perfect place to put your feet up and relax. This is Maine, “The Way Life Should Be”!

Another great stay at York Manor. We’ve been going off and on for over 25 years and never been disappointed. We heard you might be renovating number two next year and I hope you keep a little of it historical charm like the Nubble lighthouse stained glass window in addition to enhancing the already great view.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was very pleased with the accommodations. My only complaint was the mattresses.. I ended up spending a couple of nights sitting up. But despite that, I would love to stay again for the same time next year. I would also like to add linens to my reservation if that’s possible please let me know if we can stay there in the same week next year. I hope so. Be well and many many thanks. Betsy Cutler

Hi VRBO! We are a father-daughter duo excited to be sharing beautiful York Beach, Maine! We are both currently living in York and love all four seasons in beautiful New England. In his retirement, Doug is in the business of flipping houses and Laura works in IT for a large insurance company. We both love the family owned and run house called the York Manor on Short Sands Beach. The house has been bringing family and guests together since 1970 and is a place we love and cherish.
