Amazing!

What an incredible stay. Melanie’s home is absolutely beautiful. We visited with three adults and two kids, ages five and ten for nearly a week. The home is beautifully decorated, recently renovated, and fully stocked. We were able to arrive and simply unpack. The kitchen is gorgeous and stocked with quality dishes, cups, and wine glasses. There were kid’s dishes as well! There is TFal cookware, spices in the cabinet, dish soap, trash bags, and a complete set up for a lobster dinner / boil if you’d like. The beds were so comfortable with beautiful linens and the bathrooms were stocked with the best smelling soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There are plenty of towels and even laundry detergent to use in the brand new washer and dryer. The back patio and yard were wonderful with great quality furniture and a solo stove. There was even a bundle of wood for us to use. There are ocean views from the porch and at night you can relax under the stars and hear the buoys ringing in the distance. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet, gorgeous, and safe. Side walks are everywhere making the town so accessible by foot. Melanie went above and beyond to quickly answer any questions and ensure that we had a wonderful stay. She even left a basket of goodies for us to enjoy. It was an absolutely wonderful experience, do not hesitate to book this home. It was an amazing find!

Great place in great location

Melanie did a great job and has a beautiful, clean, comfortable place. The location was great – the ocean was visible and could be heard from the front and backyard. Nice neighborhood and close to many great spots - Nubble Light house, Ogunquit, Portsmouth. Every thing seemed new and clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful house in a perfect location...

We liked everything about our stay at this house. It's newly renovated, very tastefully. Perfect for our family trip for a wedding. The neighborhood is leafy and quiet. While not beachfront, you can see the ocean through the trees. And pass by in full view on walks. Close to stores, restaurants, and Long Beach, but far from the madding crowd. In fact we are discussing coming back to rent next year, for a family vacation, no wedding required.

Lovely stay in York!

The house was beautiful and well-located to some great beaches (we spend most of our time on Long Beach - which the kids loved). The inside is recently renovated with some high-end appliances. The layout is open and there's plenty of sleeping space for kids (two bunks and one additional bedroom w/ king/queen bed downstairs). Finally, can't say enough about the property owner, Melanie. She was there at our beck and call and was an absolute joy to deal with. Would recommend this place to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie

Doug and I got married at the York Harbor Inn back in 2002 and so York has always been a special place to us. Little did we know back then we'd end up buying a cottage in this beautiful neighborhood many years later. It was meant to be! And we are thrilled to make this a memorable place for others to be able to stay and enjoy all that this picturesque town has to offer.
