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.

    We had a great week in York. The house provided everything we needed for a big family gathering. But the best part was the easy access it offered to York Harbor Beach and the Fisherman’s Walk. We’re exciting to come back.

    This is our 3rd summer renting this wonderful house. It is clean, comfortable, with great allocation of space. The owner is pleasant and easily accessible if you run into any issues. The house is a 5 min walk to the beach and a few minute drive to shopping and other beach areas. Also, it's close to the beautiful Ogunquit Beach. A plus is a bedroom on the first floor for people who are unable to navigate stairs. The yard has a shed with beach chairs, games and lots of wood for the firepit. Truly a great place.

    We were 14 people who stayed 7 days in this house. It was our base, our haven. We cooked every meal at the house. The kitchen is very well equipped. The grill was great! Lots of items in the shed to use. Rooms were comfortable, beds were great! Some rooms do not have ac, and we had a hot spell, but the room air conditioners in the living room and kitchen made the first floor bedroom very comfortable. Same with the second floor. Plenty of bathrooms and all were great! The front porch is a great gathering place am and pm to relax together. The beach is walking distance. Highly recommend.

    Lovely property and plenty of space for whole family to spread out. Thoughtfully appointed with books and games and modern kitchen. Very pretty garden in the rear.

    Joseph’s house is an absolute dream, and I highly recommend staying there if you have the opportunity! We got married in York and wanted to comfortably host our large family and their spouses nearby. The house is expansive with plenty of space and bedrooms for everyone to relax and enjoy. Joseph thought of every possible thing you could want or need, including towels, beach chairs, corn hole, utensils and platters for fun backyard cookouts on the grill. The house itself has amazing history and has been preserved beautifully. The location is ideal, right near downtown and an easy walk to Harbor Beach. I would absolutely recommend staying at the Telegraph house, and am so grateful for the memories we were able to make for our family in York that we will cherish forever.

    Great location, large clean modern home interior, plenty of towels, kitchenware. A highlight is a huge kitchen table that allowed us all to eat together and play games as a group. Just a fun time at a great place. Owner is quick to respond to any questions. We already booked for July 2025.

    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.

    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!
