York, Maine
Beautiful 5 Bedroom, 4 bath home, sleeps 10!!!! This completely renovated home is ideally located to enjoy all that southern Maine has to offer. From this location, you are able to drive to 4 different beaches in literally 5 minutes; Ogunquit Beach, Short Sands, Long Sands and Cape Neddick Beach. Less than a mile to the infamous Perkins Cove. Also a 5 minute drive transports you to Ogunquit Village and downtown York Beach. Both of these destinations offer great dining and drinking, shopping, fishing, whale watching and amusements for the kids. There are public parks, playgrounds, community theatre and museums. So much to do and so little time. For those who love to golf, Cape Neddick Country Club is directly across the street. This is an 18 hole golf course with clubhouse and pro shop. Also across the street, is the Cliff House and Spa. This resort offers, a wonderful public bar, fine dining and many spa treatments from which to choose! The perfect location for your southern Maine vacation!
We just returned from having spent a week at this property. We were 6 adults and 3 infants and the place served our needs beautifully. Property management company was great and promptly responded to any questions that we had, both prior to && during our stay. I would definitely recommend this property!
The house was very nice and we found it to be a very comfortable and well laid out home away from home. The location is pretty central to anything we wanted,to go or do
This property is in a great location and can accommodate a large family or group of friends. It lacks amenities that would be nice for out of town guests ie beach chairs, towels . It has no master closet and many locked owners closets. It needs updating to be more suitable for a rental. Furniture is old and many breakables in the house. We felt for the price beds should be made upon arrival, and linens and towels should be available. The backyard is beautiful and the property manager was kind and attentive to our concerns! Overall great stay but wouldn’t rent this particular property again.
Let me start by saying I don’t think I have ever given less that 5 stars, so this is not just my way... it might seem picky, but just want everyone to be aware. The good: The location of the house is amazing. Half way between Ogunquit and york, and close to the marginal way. The house is very spacious and fit our group of 8 easily. The yard was huge and we really liked the picnic tables outside. The not so great: the listing says pantry items, but when we checked in, the only things in the pantry were salt and pepper shakers and the salt was empty. So plan to bring EVERYTHING you might want for cooking. When we got to the rooms, the linens were folded up on the beds for us to make ourselves, and they could use some improvement for sure. When you pay so much for a house, you kind of expect nicer towels and sheets. The towels were very old and there were not enough pillow cases for the pillows in any room. The only notes around the house were the ones threatening to charge $350 if we lost the hvac remotes, not one telling us how to open the door to the porch even though it had a weird child lock and we had to call to get help opening it. A lawn company came at 8am one morning, and when I suggested they tell people about that in the future they claimed they didn’t know when they were going to come every week. So just be prepared to be woken up if you don’t have small kids who are up already at that time. And there is no recycling because they claimed it was too hard to figure out how to do it with the town. Isn’t that why a management company exists? To figure those things out? When we got down to our last trash bag, we asked if there were more, and it seemed like they were doing big favor when they brought us some. So maybe add those to your shopping list too! The management company was responsive, but if I were the homeowners, I might consider having a conversation with them. I am sure the owners are paying a big commission and I would expect better from them. The company really made it feel like they were in it for money, not to make us feel welcome. (Of course they are, but some places still make you feel like they care about you and not just the dollar!) Only complaints about the house itself: the white room seems like such a waste of space: no one with kids will use it! And there aren’t enough chairs at the kitchen table for the number of people who fit in the house.
We stayed as a family with 2 couples, 1 grandparent, 3 children, and 2 teenagers. This house worked really well for our crowd. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, making it easy to accommodate 10 people and the living space is spacious enough, especially including the outdoor deck, that we never felt cramped (except when trying to all use the kitchen at the same time). The house also has some yard space and a pebble cove within walking distance that allowed us to entertain the children during down time. The house itself is unremarkable and the decor is dated, but you don't go to Ogunquit for the house. The location is convenient -- 5 minutes to Perkin's Cove and 8 minutes to Ogunquit Beach. This made it easy to do various things throughout the day and come back between events. This house is a compelling option for a large multi-family party, especially if you want to come and go throughout the day between activities rather than spending 8 hours at the beach without break.
The owner was very accommodating. Went above and beyond to help us with a generator issue in the house. We loved the house; it was furnished with everything we needed and was in a great location. Would highly recommend this home!
The property is lovely and well taken care of. We loved the large, comfortable porch and spent most of our time there. Proximity to beaches in York as well as Ogunquit was definitely a plus as well. All rooms are well furnished and comfortable. It’s clear the owner takes pride in the property and ensures guests are well taken care of. We would definitely recommend this property to others.
The good: The location of the house was ideal for us (close to both Short Sands and Ogunquit) as was the space inside the house. The bedrooms are generously sized with nice separation between. We especially liked having the kids on the 3rd floor. We also liked having 2 living spaces plus the nice porch, even though the formal living room is kind of strangely separated and not super practical for a family with kids. We only let our oldest in there just to be on the safe side. The kitchen is nicely appointed and lots of pantry space. The dining table was large too, which was nice. Some room for improvement: I am not sure if the cleaners had not done as thorough of a job as usual or what but the house wasn't super clean. There were dead bugs in every window and doorway. There was pet hair in some of the bedrooms. There were blanket type covers on the couch in the main living space that smelled and hadn't been washed. There was a urine smell in 2 bathrooms. Additionally, The a/c in the main living room wasn't working upon our arrival and took a few days to fix...but it was ultimately fixed remotely...so why did it take so long? Overall it was a good house for us for the week but cleanliness should be more of a priority.
Great, quiet location with plenty of space. Nice open layout in the kitchen and living room area. There is a formal living room/dining room that we really didn’t use because it’s kind of closed off. If it was not so formal and closed off the extra space would be great. The dining table in the kitchen area was a bit cramped but we made it work. The bedrooms and bathrooms were exceptional as was the porch. Nice place! Want to rent again next year.
We had a very lovely stay. Lots of family time. Porch was awesome, we spent mornings, evenings. Someone was always out there. Walk in association to cliffs beautiful view. We drove to long sands beach. Parking there was a bit difficult but reasonably priced. The ogunquit beach near marginal way was beautiful and large note tho parking expensive and you also couldn’t leave and come back. Very homey. I did not allow the kids or pretty much anyone in the room I called the “white room” but plenty of room else where. My only suggestion is to leave instructions on what to do with garbage and if there was there a date to take it out. Thanks so much! Beth H.
