Perfect beach spot in York

We visit York every few years and this is the best property we’ve stayed in. Clean, comfortable, close to Long Sands Beach. Owners were friendly and so helpful, particularly as our check in was late due to an emergency. Private entrance and backyard area are quiet and really pretty.

Best vacation rental

We have been returning year after year because it has been such a great experience! The house is so cute and clean. It's a perfect location (across the street from the beach) with a great little yard for kids and adults! Perfect cookout area! Owners are so helpful and great! Can't imagine staying anywhere else!!

Great location and spotlessly clean!

We loved being in a quieter part of York, next door to a great restaurant and a couple doors down from a coffee shop. The owners are the most lovely people and so accommodating, even printing out lawn game directions for us when we had a cookout. The yard space and covered porch are like an oasis. We can’t wait to book here again!

York Long Sands Paradise

Wonderful stay for the week in the private apartment (and entrance) at Betsy's house. Had everything we needed including a backyard, grill, and covered outdoor deck. Right across from the ocean and a 5-7 minute walk to the sandy and expansive Long Sands beach. Great location, gracious and responsive host. Thank you Betsy and Jerry.

Perfect family oasis

This rental could not have been more perfect for my wife, toddler and I to stay at for our vacation. The location is amazing, the backyard is private and peaceful for relaxing shady times away from the sun and to let the kiddo play, and the apartment itself was more than enough space for us to unwind and feel at home. It felt like a home away from home. Betsy & Jerry are fantastic hosts, thank you for having us!

A Perfect Stay in York!

Betsy & Jerry were amazing. The apartment's location was PERFECT, and the space itself is so much bigger than it appears. The set up was ideal for vacationing with two small children with the living room on one side of the apartment and the bedrooms on the other. The outdoor space was perfect for meals outside and the yard was a great play space! We can't wait to return to Betsy and Jerry's apartment again next year!

Reny's to the rescue

Overall it is a very nice property. Comfortable and the decor was very pleasant. Great location! Unfortunately the listing indicated that linens were provided and we expected an adequate number of towels. We had four in our party yet only 4 bath towels were provided. Because we were staying 7 nights with one towel each we had to search for a place to buy towels & purchase an adequate about. When this issue was addressed to the hostess, she responded by suggesting that we go to the laundromat. This would have taken precious time from our vacation. Disappointed!

A perfect location for zipping across the street for a walk along the beach or next door for dinner. The house was clean and comfortable and made a terrific home base for us as we explored the area. The owners were very nice and friendly.

An Amazing Time

We were extremely happy with our stay at Windswept. The house was beautiful and every amenity we could ever need was right there. Beach access was very easy and so beautiful and we loved being at the quieter end of Long Sands. Betsy and Jerry were so nice and welcoming. It was a perfect week!

We had a fantastic week at Windswept. Betsy was a great host, the property was spotlessly clean, and the access to the ocean (right across the street) is incredible. Lovely backyard and deck as well. We had a magical week.

We stayed as a family of 5 (3 teenagers) at this adorable and cozy beach condo. It was clean, private, peaceful and we had everything we could’ve asked for. Betsy and Jerry were great hosts and we’d love to go back next summer!

We had a wonderful week at windswept. It was the perfect family vacation spot. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor space and ate most of our dinners there. It is just across the street from the water and only a short walk to the sandy beach. The hosts were fantastic! We hope to return in the future.

Very clean cozy walk out basement apartment on the beach. Accommodations had everything you needed. Great outdoor space. While you don’t have view directly from apartment it is but a 2 second walk away. I had my tea overlooking the beautiful view just about every morning. Hosts were very dear and responsive. Really.
