About this property

1 Block to Beach -large deck overlooking beautiful yard - Cul-de-sac

16 Eastern Ave York Beach, Maine . 3 minute walk to Long Sands Beach

Note : My calendar showing availability is always up to date. I also respond within the day to all inquiries; usually within the hour.

Full week rentals (Saturday to Saturday) are required during July & August.

Views of ocean/beach from most rooms and rear deck. You'll love the beautiful décor and new furnishings in this like new home - with plenty of entertaining space inside as well as in the yard. Sleep comfortably with quality mattresses, pillows, and linens available.

A very short walk to Long Sands Beach....about 500 feet! As you walk on to the beach you will be near the center of Long Sands beach, just south of the Sun & Surf Restaurant. Great for families due to the amount of beach space, even at high tide, and the best crabbing and tide pooling in town at low tide! Perfect spot for walking or running along the beach as well. And a quick walk to some of the local restaurants or take the trolley to the Nubble Lighthouse or Short Sands Beach from the end of the street. Long Sands Surfing area is only a 10 minute walk away. Life guards on duty all summer.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the 30'x12' rear deck while enjoying the sounds & views of the ocean. Neighborhood is predominantly owner occupied. Extremely safe neighborhood. Dead end road with 10 houses.

Walk to: Beach, 'Down Town' (location of restaurants & shops), High School (location of grass fields, skateboard park, track, & tennis courts, high school baseball field), Little League Baseball Field, Nearby Restaurants (Sun & Surf, Lobster Cove, 'The blinkey cone')

We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful home for a weekend! The house was absolutely perfect for our group of 10, we fit comfortably with just one extra air mattress. The layout made it so easy for everyone to spend time together, whether we were cooking, doing crafts, eating meals around the table, or just relaxing and catching up.The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with cooking supplies, utensils, and everything we needed to make meals for a large group, which made hosting and staying in so easy and enjoyable. The home itself was, cozy, and had such a welcoming atmosphere.We also loved the location it was peaceful and private while still being only about 15 minutes from Portsmouth, so we got the best of both worlds: relaxing at the house and exploring the area.The only small downside was that guests are required to wash and dry their own bedding and towels before checkout, which was a bit inconvenient with a larger group. Aside from that, everything was wonderful and the stay exceeded our expectations.Overall, this was the perfect spot for a group getaway, and we would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

This property offered us a very good "sweet spot" for balancing distance from the beach without being too crazy expensive To. We have a three and a five year-old and if it was any farther away it would've been difficult. Any closer and we might not have wanted to spend the money. It was just right! Comfy beds too :-)

Great house, great location!

We enjoyed our weekend at the York Beach house. Easy walk to the beach and a few restaurants with kids. The beach itself was beautiful. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our group. You can tell Ed has taken a lot of time to think of everything - including detailed instructions and FAQ. Thanks!

As advertised

Enjoyed the stay. Great location. Clean and spacious home. Ed was great communicator and had some nice local recommendations. Only knock would be on the cleaning requested prior to departure, which included not just stripping beds/towels but running thru washer and dryer. Seemed excessive, especially considering we were already paying a cleaning fee. Overall, very positive experience and would stay again.

June rental

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was in a great location, within easy walking distance to the water and coastline. The house was clean, impeccably organized, and maintained. However, given the high price of the rental, we were frustrated that we had to make beds, clean sheets and towels and have everything folded and back in a closet before an 11:00 check put time. In addition, there are no dressers, luggage stands or any place (other than the flood) to put the luggage. A folding luggage stand in each room would be a welcome and easy fix.

Great retreat!

This property was perfect for our family of ten. Having the bedrooms upstairs away from evening adult noise helped the little ones sleep well. The kitchen was adequately appointed with everything that you could want. Plenty of disposable paper goods were supplied. A wonderful beverage cooler was located on the lowest level allowing the refrigerator to be used mainly for food items. The bedrooms were nicely sized, ceiling fans helped keep us cool and the beds were very comfortable. Great Weber grill was on the deck for easy access to the kitchen and it was very clean. Plenty of parking was available and the short walk to the beach allowed us to skip the dreaded search for expensive parking spots. We hope to rent this property again in the future, it was everything we had hoped for in a vacation home destination .

Terrific house!

We loved our time in York. Ed was such a great host and made the process very painless. The house was just as advertised, and Long Sands exceeded our expectations. It is difficult to find a vacation that pleases both the forty something parents, the teens, the preteens and the littles, but this house did it. We had a great week and are so thankful for the memories.

About the host

Hosted by Ed / Cindy McKenna

Host profile image
Hi we live in town in the harbor, and I summered here as a kid. I always loved being near the ocean and decided to live here year round after graduating college and starting a family. We've been here year round for over 20 years, and I've been coming here in the summers for over 40 years. Not quite a townie, but not far off either...

Why they chose this property

If LIKE NEW & CLEAN matters to you. Stop looking. The house was designed with families vacationing here for the summer in mind. It was designed with an assumption that 1 or possibly 2 families would share the house.

Several bathrooms.
Large deck for eating breakfast
Outside shower.
Private yard for kids to run around.

What makes this property unique

Dead end road.
Very little traffic.
Very short walk to the beach.
Large private enclosed yard.
