York, Maine

This 7 bedroom 4 bathroom historic home is a profound residence in the heart of York Harbor. With the support of the local community and a large singular financier the home went through a complete renovation in 2021 preserving the structure and magnificent exterior architectural features while updating the interior to a fabulous single family residence with exquisite modern features. The home was built in 1854 by the York Telegraph Company and is now available to the public for rent for the first time in its 150 year history! The house is located perfectly with a 3 minute walk to York Harbor Beach and a 5 minute walk to The Stage Neck Inn and The York Harbor Inn. With friendly ties to each establishment the home owner can facilitate any of your special needs. This home has an enjoyable large back yard with fire pit and covered patio for peaceful summer evening dining. The front porch or upper living room provide for the perfect location to enjoy a cup of coffee and see the sunrise over majestic Wiggley Bridge while greeting any passers-by. The separate first floor and second floor living areas provide for guests to spread out and relax during the day while the large kitchen and dining area seating 20 provides for a gathering place at day’s end. This property is tucked into the heart of a wonderful community known as York Harbor. We welcome you to join our community for the duration of your stay and enjoy all York has to offer. Enjoy and safe travels to you and your guests.
The house was exactly as described. Check-in and check-out were easy as could be, and Joseph included a very well-organized binder with all the information one could possibly need. The location was perfect. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely book the place again.
Exceptionally large home with lots of room to spread out including a game room and second floor lounge. Back yard was nice with a large covered patio and firepit. Really enjoyed our stay!
The house is large with plenty of space. It is nicely furnished and has a lot of household items such as pots and pans, dishes, cups, silverware, etc.
What a great find! Home is large, modern clean interior, well-stocked kitchen with pots, pans, lobster utensils, and more. Beds are comfortable with quality bedding along with quality beach towels. The large kitchen table seats the whole crew and is perfect for playing cards and other games. The game room is a plus! Space in the backyard for all to sit to eat a meal and enough grass area to play outdoor games. All around great place to spend time together. We had 14 people, aged 85 to 13, and it was good for all. Proximity to the beach is great, a couple min walk. The host is easy to communicate with. Very responsive. We hope to visit again.... hopefully next summer!
This house was perfectly located for our family and made it easy for us to join in family activities nearby. It was great for kids as well.
Our family gathered for a long overdue reunion at the Telegraph office which has been beautifully renovated. The seven bedrooms are well spaced over three floors, so plenty of private nooks and crannies for a large group. The kitchen/dining area has a large table that is perfect for family dinners. The kitchen is well supplied with cookware. The backyard BBQ and fire pit work well for meals al fresco. The shed is well supplied with beach chairs and other fun stuff. And the location is a short walk to the Harbor Beach, a real jewel. In short, this is the perfect spot for a Maine shore vacation.
Loved our stay; home was really large and our party of 6 adults and 8 kids (all 7 and under) had plenty of room! Joseph was extremely responsive and a wonderful host.
Joseph was a wonderful host. We stay at a lot of VRBOs and he had all of the basics covered and more! From the pictures we thought it might be smaller than what we were looking for, but it was so much space!! And beautifully renovated, keeping wonderful details yet updgrading to beautiful and functional spaces. A block from the beach - and the best kept secret beach, not too crowded - just right. It seemed like we would say, is there a lighter for the fire pit turn around and it was there on the wall. You could tell he put a lot of care into making sure his guests are comfortable and that his home was maintained well. Thanks so much to you Joseph - it was everything I could do to wrap up work and get away and we had a wonderful week of family dinners at the big table - and cookouts out back. All the heart really needed. My cousins up there may want to talk about a Thanksgiving week - it truly is a great location and set up fo r it!
The house worked very well for our large family group. It is newly renovated and everything was very comfortable. The location is wonderful.
Wonderful, expansive house, perfect for our large extended family and in a fantastic location, walking distance to the beach and harbor!
