About the host
Hosted by Joseph Szeniawski
I am a military helicopter pilot in the United States Air Force, living in York, Maine. I have family in York, Maine and I grew up in York, Maine.
Why they chose this property
This property is close to the beach but not so close you have to deal with all the noise of cars loading/unloading and/or disruptive people at night. It's close enough to the beach to walk if you want. It is near the village for historical sights and near the beaches and restaurants/bars for fun and relaxation. It is near restaurants for dining and enjoying great Maine lobster. I am an honest straight forward person and will do everything in my power to make your vacation awesome!
What makes this property unique
My family and I live in town so any issues you have can be remedied on the spot, same day. No long-distance issues to resolve or management company headaches. Most houses that sleep this many people in this location are outdated and rent for $15,000 to $20,000 a week in York. Enjoy a freshly renovated home during your vacation. My place is a great deal. The summer is going to be here shortly!
