Ocean Sands at York Beach

8/10 Good

"Made a lot of improvements since staying there last year"

New build. 3 bedroom Townhouse walking distance to York Beaches.

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent rental. Well stocked with kitchen tools, spices, foil etc. Location was superb. 7 minute walk to Short Sands and less to shops downtown. Brewery and Food Truck 3 min walk. Common living area very large to accommodate all eight of us whether dining or watching TV. 3 large bedrooms with Queen beds was very comfortable. Excellent host communications. Responded fast to any questions. Will rent again"

Anchorage Inn and Resort

8/10 Good

"Everything was good"

The Cutty Sark Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I LOVED this hotel. The view is amazing and the room was perfect. The staff were so helpful, especially John, who was so pleasant. I'm going back next year!"

New 3 Bedroom with Private Pool & big yd walking distance downtown York Beach..

10/10 Excellent

"The host is terrific: Knowledgeable, friendly, and amazingly responsive! The place was truly perfect for our family. Clean, light, roomy, and airy— with all the amenities of a newly renovated place! My husband and I were very comfortable on the first floor while my kids and grandkids had their own 2 bedrooms and bathroom, as well as another living room, on the second floor. Great for privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and organized and, like the rest of the house, meticulously clean! We spent several happy hours in the private swimming pool with our kids and grandkids before heading to the nearby beach for a glorious afternoon in the sunshine.Our grandkids enjoyed the local zoo, candy store, and toy shop, and we had delicious dinners at the local restaurants. Wonderful place! We will return!"

The Pioneer - York Beachfront living

10/10 Excellent

"I really cannot say enough great things about this booking! The house is incredible! Immaculate. Stocked with absolutely everything you would need. And looks exactly like the picturesbeautiful large kitchen and dining table, and comfortable, cozy living room as well as a convenient laundry area on the first floor. Beds were all comfortable, and bathrooms were conveniently located. We also enjoyed a lot of friendly competition in the game room.As for the location, it just can't be beat! Overlooking the beach, just a stone's throw away, it provided a quick and easy access to the sand, sun, and blue water as well as to all the shops and restaurants in town. Fireworks overhead greeted us Sunday night, and music from the pavilion provided an enjoyable background to the amazing sunset. Probably our favorite "hangouts" were the porch and the Adirondack chairs on the front lawn. Both provided a scenic view and a week's worth of sun-bathing, card games, conversation, and laughter! All of which we hope to enjoy again next year!"

New Year Round Rental - 1/4 Mile To Short Sands Beach & Downtown York

10/10 Excellent

"Short walk to the beach and shops. Comfortable accommodations for our large group. We had everything we needed for a great time!"

Diane Cottage, York Manor, Short Sands Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location and cute little cottage that has everything you need. Thank you!"

Inn on the Blues

10/10 Excellent

"Accommodations were very clean! AC was good. parking was good, but tight for 2 cars as we rented the 2 bedroom suite, so we had 3 couples in 2 cars. So, we were not sure how to park for 2 cars and needed to park one of the cars at another location. please leave spare garbage bags to use for the trash bucket in the kitchen as the trash started to overflow on the 3rd day of our visit. We used our shopping bags for the trash that did not fit in the trash bucket. Not a big deal, but it would be more convenient to have spare trash bags. Thank you. we would recommend staying Inn on the Blues to our friends. overall, It was very good accommodations."
