    We went to York to visit family ahead of the summer season. The weather was a bit rainy and chilly - we were delighted with the gas fireplace! The location was wonderful , walking distance to short sands. There were 7 of us including 2 kids and we were all very comfortable, and there was plenty of room to have some privacy.

    My daughters , grandson & I were very thrilled about the location how the house was layed out, the use of the kitchen, several bathrooms, use of lawnchairs * even the fire pit. Towels were plentiful & the upstairs shower w/the pebble floor was very refreshing. We had no complaints, delighyed the whole stay..would love to stay w/Joanne's house again.

    We were a group of five women friends having a girl's week. The house and location were perfect for us! Plenty of room for us all to sleep comfortably, make & share food, sit on the deck to talk, and easily walk to York Beach Village & Short Sands Beach. Joanne was a lovely host: great communication, great check in, great stay!

    Wonderfully clean, kitchen is fully stocked, having linens on the bed is such a nice perk, and they’re cotton! Plenty of towels, extra blankets, even a buggy to bring things to the beach which is super close by. Will definitely be back!

    The house was just as described and the pictures listed. Clean and fully stocked with everything you need and more. Beds were so comfortable and the entire house was warm and welcoming! Joanne was super friendly and helpful. 10 minute walk to short sands and downtown, there is a shortcut right outside the house (have to cross Rt 1 and lift strollers or carts over rocks but shaves off a little bit of miles and time). For the lobster lovers, order from Off The Boat Lobster and they steam em for ya. (Cash only) Joanne has all you need for eating and enjoying! Best lobster ever! Outdoor shower was amazing to rinse off the sand! Highly recommend for families to have a nice getaway and hit the beach/shops/restaurants.

    We had a great time at Joanne’s place! There was 10 of us…6 adults and our 4 grandsons from 10 yrs old to 7 months. There was plenty of space for all. I especially liked the outside space… grilling area with places to eat, great fire pit..outside shower and lawn area for games. The porches were awesome. The house was immaculate and had everything we might want. The walk to long sands was @ 15 minutes or a quick ride by car. Overall a wonderful place to stay. Thank you Joanne, hope to be back!!

    Lovely spot and enjoyed watching the ducks and geese at the pond. If the weather had been better we would have really enjoyed the fire pit area. It’s a really nice neighborhood and everything is a short drive. The beds are comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped. Love the fireplace and open concept living area! Thank you for a great stay!
