About this property

Short Sands Beach is a 5 Minute Walk Away

This beautiful home has many recent updates. Your feet can be in the sand in minutes. Short Sands is just a 6-minute walk from the front door and Long Sands is right around the corner too. This home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and sleeps 8 people. The lower-level bedroom has bunk beds and a pullout couch that can double as a second living space for the kids, allowing kids and adults to relax in their own space if needed. There is a huge deck in the backyard for meals and evening family fun. The entire home has been painted, both bathrooms have been fully remodeled, and there are new floors throughout. The kitchen has been redone with new appliances. The home comes fully prepared with everything a family needs for a day at the beach. The house is stocked with plenty of beach chairs, wagons, coolers, and a beach tent. Come relax and enjoy all that York Beach has to offer.

Between exploring the two-mile stretch of Long Sands Beach and visiting the Goldenrod Candy Shop at the Boardwalk of Short Sands Beach, guests will get plenty of sun and surf. Visit the York Wild Kingdom for a carnival ride, or take photos of the Nubble Light.

Bed linens are provided.

Damage Protection vs Security Deposit: Willing to let renter choose. Either $500 refundable security deposit or $59 damage protection through HomeAway.

Great house for beach visit
This is a very nice house in a great location! It is an easy walk to Short Sand Beach in one direction, and slightly longer to Long Sand Beach in the other. The house is comfortable and well equipped. The kitchen is small, but had everything we needed. The deck, right outside the dining area, was a great spot for morning coffee, and lunch. The neighborhood is a mix of rental properties and year round residences, very quiet, and the several neighbors we talked to were friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come back.

Pleasant family accomodation
Comfortable home with plenty of space for adults and children to relax. Great location for enjoying the beach, walks and other nearby attractions. A few unfortunate power issues (light switches doing nothing, the trip with our hairdryer) were somewhat troublesome but the host helped out to resolve the faults we highlighted. For guests travelling from outside the US like us, it would be helpful if the host would consider providing bath towels as we have found that is most often the case in North American holiday rental properties.
