A perfect beach vacation rental. Beach is right across the street, house slept 6 comfortably. Large deck with grill and table that seats 6 comfortably. Fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer (game changer if you have kids) Would highly recommend and will definitely book again for another family summer vacation.

Absolutely perfect house. Newly updated/renovated and incredibly cozy. It has everything you need, and is basically on the beach so very easy to get there. We could hear the waves at night - a natural sound machine! Would love to return.

Absolutely gorgeous home close to the beach. The enclosed front porch is a great area to sit to hear the sounds of the ocean and the large back deck with grill is perfect for family dinners. As someone who has been coming to Maine with my family for vacation my entire life I was so excited to find such an amazing home to continue the tradition with my kids. Now that we travel from Missouri instead of NY for our summer family reunions, having a home that included linens and has a washer and dryer was perfect! Rick was wonderful as a host, and I would highly recommend this home for a wonderful York vacation!

Steps to the beach

The property was well maintained. Sleeping to the sounds of ocean waves was delightful. As well the beach access being right on the other side of the street was terrific. Owner was easy to communicate with. Would consider staying at this property again.

Perfect beach access

Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood and the beach access is a plus. My only con would be that there was no air conditioning and if the weather would have been warmer it would have been quite uncomfortable.

Hi Anna, thank you for staying with us and glad that you enoyed our home. Yes, as a beach cottage we only have fans for cooling but with the sea breeze that has usually been sufficient to keep the house comfortable. Hope you can come back to stay with us again. Rick

This was our second year renting the property. It was less clean than our original stay. But the proximity to the beach just a short walk away made up for it. It was an excellent week spent with family.

Vacation cottage

This property was so delightful, warm and welcoming. Reminded my two brothers and me of the cottages my parents rented when we were kids. Those two brothers, their wives and I were very comfortable. The property was very well stocked. We lacked for nothing. Our only recommendation is to replace the shower head in the smaller bathroom.

Good value great location great time

I recommend this vacation rental home. The House is the second house across street from beach so only steps from York Beach which is beautiful! I stayed with my wife and kids (17 and 20) which was perfect for this house which has three double beds and three bedrooms. Could sleep five or six but would be a bit tight. There are two bathrooms. One bathroom shower did not work well as water flowed from both shower and bathtub faucet simultaneously. Lighting in house could be improved. Overall a great house for a beach vacation.

Great location!!

Great location - literally steps away from the beach! Convenient and cozy for 5 adults. Having 2 bathrooms,dishwasher and laundry a plus. Disappointed we did not have access to beach chairs ,(Long Sands is a rocky beach),although we contacted owner prior to / and during our stay. Miscommunication somewhere along the line as to where appropriate key for shed was located. Need car to get to other restaurants or activities - went to Short Sands which is only a short drive (15 mins with traffic). Our stay was comfortable, place was tidy , but lacked in a few detail housekeeping issues. Enjoyed the back deck, less traffic and noise. Had a great stay and would consider revisiting.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Hurst

Host profile image
Although we currently live in NJ - our family roots are here in Maine where we vacationed every summer since I was born (way too long ago).

Why they chose this property

Our beachfront home was built by my grandparents and has been with us ever since. It has always been a favorite spot for our family vacations.

What makes this property unique

The funny thing that makes me totally relax is the smell of the ocean air from when you first arrive and look out over the ocean. Just watching the surf and listening to the sounds of the seashore is one of the most tranquil and soothing experiences I can imagine. The compliment to this is the plethora of outstanding local restaurants and taverns with the best New England Clambakes anywhere.
