Best view on the beach!

Everything was absolutely wonderful! The home was in perfect condition and everything was provided we could ever need, including beach towels. The views were amazing. It was so nice to sit in the sunny kitchen watching the ocean waves or on the deck with a cup of coffee. The hosts were so wonderful. Mike and Mary were kind enough to let my daughter use one of their boogie boards and it turned out to be her favorite part of the entire trip. We would not hesitate to rent this property again. Thank you for making our stay in York Beach so special.

Perfect getaway

This was the best location to listen to the waves and smell the ocean while relaxing. It had all the amenities you could need, plus comfy beds and a great shower. Mike was available if we needed anything as well. It's a climb to the top floor, so pack efficiently! Otherwise, a perfect place to enjoy our perfrct place! p effc

Great place for 2 couples or a family. Everything is just there in the living room and in the kitchen. There is even a BBQ. Most of all is the view to the beach. You can spend the day at the beach and have lunch at home and go back on the beach! The 123 restaurant is good place a few blocks away to grab a good fish 'n chips. Thanks to our guest Mike and Mary for that clean apartment. Louise, Isabelle and Robert

everything we could have asked for!

If you can imagine yourself falling asleep to the sound of waves; sipping your morning coffee as the sun comes up over the beach stretching out before you; or kicking back on your private balcony with an afternoon refreshment - this place is for you! I came across this rental when I was looking for a last minute stay-cation with a friend, a former seacoast resident herself. We had a great time - and then I extended my stay because I just couldn't leave. As someone who has lived on the seacoast for about 15 years, I feel like I can speak with some authority when I say this: Book Now! You won't be disappointed.

We’ve been coming to York for 18 years and the BallyHeaphy was the best place we have ever stayed! Mike was extremely welcoming, our space was immaculate, bright and warming! The location you can beat and the view forget about it was amazing! I walked in and immediately fell in love with the place! Thank you Mike for everything, we can’t wait to return!

Crushed Expectations

The properties location was amazing, property manager was amazing and the house it self was very comfortable, clean and accessible. The beach was right across the street (great fishing in the morning). Downton York (zoo) was a 10 minute walk. We had a blast! I would absolutely book this place again if the owner allowed us too.

Highly recommend!!

Beautiful views, clean, relaxing and the beach is right there. If you’ve had enough sun, you still feel like you’re on the beach sitting inside with the sliders open. Owners are very nice and surprised us with a bottle of wine for our anniversary. I could stay here all summer and fall if I could.

Perfect spot!

Our family had a wonderful time. Rental was bright, clean and comfortable. Right across the street from the beach made it easy with a 6 y.o. and all her beach toys. 2 car parking was perfect for having a visitor for a day at the beach. Mike and Mary were extremely hospitable and easily accessible. We would stay here again.

We stayed at this property the week of Memorial Day and we truly enjoyed it. Four adults stayed at this rental comfortably. My favorite part about the rental was the balcony over looking the ocean. The home was clean and well maintained. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
