My off-season stay in April was a very relaxing vacation. The house was very clean, parking was safe and easy, and my dog loved being able to walk to the beach for a morning run. My daughters's loved the upstairs loft, and we were able to walk to restaurants for seafood dinners.

Great condo! The place was clean, nicely decorated, great amenities like beach chairs and a caddy, and they even had beach towels because we were short one. The condo was a perfect location for us across the street from friends and walking distance to the beach. Looked to rent again next year and already booked . We really enjoyed our stay!

Great location and distance to the beach is perfect. Beware the neighbor though.

Great location, but be careful on the road. Even though it's a posted 25, vehicles go much faster.

Our stay in York Maine.

Home was very pleasant. Provided everything we needed for a long weekend at the beach. 5 minutes walking distance to the beach was a big plus. Highly recommend the home and Vacassa.

Long Sands Escape is a Gem !

Location, cleanliness, amenities provided and fido friendly are just a few reasons to stay here ! Short walk to the beach and ample parking for 2 cars are added bonuses. I do wish the check-in was earlier and check out a bit later as we only were able to do the beach one full day.
