Stayed Aug 9, 2025This great little house is perfect walking distance to short sands beach and a longer walk to long sands beach. Once you arrive you can park your car and walk everywhere. Salt and Sands were great with clear instructions and very responsive. We loved the little touches of hospitality.

Stayed Jul 26, 2025The Happy Lobster at 22B Main Street exceeded our high expectations. The House was good size with plenty of room for everyone and all our stuff. The air conditioning was great as we were visiting on a hot week. Our host Daniele and the entire Salt & Shine Vacation Rental team were very responsive, and answered our questions quickly. The House was in very clean and ready when we arrived. The absolute best part about the house was the location!!! It was just a few houses away from the Goldenrod and a very easy walk to Short Sands Beach. Plenty of places to eat and shop only a short walk away. We absolutely loved our week at York Beach and staying at the Happy Lobster. In full disclosure, the parking space could be a little tight to get into depending on how big the cars are for the people staying in House 22A, but we didn’t have any problems. I would strongly recommend this house for anyone visiting Short Sands at York Beach!!!

Stayed Jul 17, 2025The cottage was perfect for my daughter and I. It was in such a great location, and we could walk to the beach and restaurants in under 5 minutes. Thank you for a great weekend!

Stayed Jul 1, 2023Loved The Happy Lobster. Property management response time was phenomenal for the few minor things we needed. Problem with the grill. They had a new grill delivered the next day. Very clean and had everything we needed. Location was fabulous. Within walking to down town and beach. Only issue we had was the parking. Only one car parking. It was difficult to maneuver between 2 other cars oddly parked for 22A every time we left the cottage. For that reason only we prob wouldn’t stay again. It was stressful. Sorry!
