Thanks so much for choosing to stay with us! Your family was lovely. Have a great rest of your Summer!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Cape Cod. It was spacious for all of us. We used their back porch more than anything. It was just wonderful sitting out there.. would highly recommend!
The Amico York Beach home is a 5-star choice…we vacation in Maine every summer and this property ranks among the best…our family of 4 were very pleased with the quality of the home, location was ideal and neighborhood was quite and very nice…and communication with the owner was outstanding…without hesitation we would rent this property again and highly recommend it for your stay…
We had a wonderful vacation in York. The house was super charming, clean, and spacious enough to entertain family and friends. The neighborhood was quiet and close to many amenities. Mike was very responsive, accommodating and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this place for your next stay in Maine.
Our stay was fantastic! The property is beautiful and well-kept. The house had plenty of space and was very comfortable. The location was great for exploring the area, and we had everything we needed. The host was super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this place! Thank you, Mike and Stephanie, for being such wonderful hosts!
We had a great week in Maine!
The house was very clean and the hosts Mike & Stephanie were fantastic. Check in was easy and host provided a cell phone number so we could easily reach them. The house is a very short drive to all main attractions (York Harbour Beach, Long Sands Beach, Short Sands Beach, Fisherman’s Walk, Wiggly Bridge, Nubble Lighthouse, Mount Agamenticus). Very convenient. Ogonquit is about a 15 minute drive from the house if you prefer dining in a larger town.
We recommend this property and would rent again!
Mike & Stephanie are terrific hosts! They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and just like home away from home. The location of this beautiful home is perfect, only minutes to the quaint York Harbor Beach, Long Sands Beach and York Beach. Such a quintessential New England experience! The house itself overlooks the York River with a beautifully landscaped large yard. It was relaxing while the location offered many options for dining and shopping experiences. We had an amazing stay and look forward to returning to this welcoming home! Thank you Mike & Stephanie.Debbie & Joe

Thank you so much for your stay. Your family was absolutely lovely!
This home was exactly as described and better. We enjoyed the updated, clean and comfortable space. The back screened in porch was a relaxing hang out. (There are 2 comfortable chairs, you will want to bring a couple of lawn chairs to relax in if you have a few people in your party) The neighborhood is very quiet and provided a relaxing space and we were only 15 minutes from the beaches of York. The owners were very attentive to a few small asks and terrific to deal with.
All in all you won’t be disappointed.

Originally from central Massachusetts, now a large chunk of my family resides in the seacoast area (York & Portsmouth).
My wife and I really enjoy kayaking, eating out and spending time with our son.
Why they chose this property
We picked this neighborhood because of its proximity to nearly everything! Within 5 minutes you can be at either the beach, river, restaurants, interstate, grocery store, or the Kittery Trading Post.
What makes this property unique
I find the large yard with its abundance of fruit trees/vines to be one of the most unique things about our home
