This 2300 sq.ft. townhouse is just 500 ft. from beautiful Short Sands Beach and a 3 minute bike ride to Long Sands Beach. The location is centrally located in York Beach Village, just steps away from the shops and restaurants. The village is undergoing a revitalization and you will be at the very heart of it!! This property is becoming a favorite place for families attending weddings at the Union Bluff Hotel due to its size, number of bedrooms and the 3 minute walk from the Hotel.

The main floor (second floor of property) is bright and open with fully equipped modern kitchen, living room, dining area, full bathroom and queen bedroom. Boasting hardwood floors and a slider leading out to the deck for relaxing and those eat-in barbeques.

There are three bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs (third floor of property) all freshly carpeted and painted. There is an outdoor shower which is a must when those sandy little ones return from a day at the beach. There is parking for three cars.

Loads of summer beach activities are just a short walk away from your unit. York's Wild Kingdom and Amusement Park offers activities for the kids at a reasonable all day inclusive price. Check the zoo in the morning before the animals retreat from the heat, walk home for lunch and a siesta and then walk back for the rides a little later!! If you don't want to make lunch, multiple dining options are located on the walk between your beach paradise and the park!!

Short Sands Beach is just steps away as well. The property has beach chairs, beach toys and a beach cart for your convenience. The beach area has an arcade, playground, basketball courts and a summer music series at the public gazebo.

Long Sands beach is accessible as well by 15 minute walk, 3 minute bike ride or quick ride by car. The historic Nubble Lighthouse is located less than 5 minutes by car as well between the two beach areas. For those who like to jog/run/walk, the three mile scenic roundtrip to the light house can't be beat!! The ice cream at Dunn's Ice Cream on Nubble Road is a local's and visitor's favorite!!

Nearby activities include Perkin's Cove in Ogunquit that is a scenic 10 minute ride from your beach paradise off of Shore Road. There you will find more shops, dining, deep sea fishing, scenic cruises and the famous Marginal Way. The Outlet shopping of Kittery is 10 minutes away for a rainy day activity. Even something for the men on a shopping trip as they scour the multi-level Kittery Trading Post for all their outdoors needs! LL Bean is also about an hour away as well.

Both the City of Portsmouth NH and Portland ME are less than an hour away and offer a multitude of activities, dining, historic sites and shopping opportunities as well. Water Country is an exciting waterpark 20 minutes away that offers water slides and pools for all ages. Old Orchard Beach and Saco ME also have amusement parks as well at less than a 45 minute drive away. The Portland Sea Dogs is a great night out with tickets for a family of four costing less than the cost of one ticket at Fenway Park!!

Whatever your families needs are for summer fun you are sure to satisfy them with this modern town home as your base! Whether you just park the car for the week and enjoy all the sun and fun within walking distance of your unit or take daytrips to further enhance your vacation experience, this is sure to be your Happy Place at the end of the day!!!

    Accommodations were perfect. The house was just what we needed. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. We couldn't have asked for more.

    Clean and modern, near downtown area. Close to shops and food. Only other thought is the stairwell to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Although steps were numerous, managed to negotiate with little effortWould definitely rent again

    We had a great stay in York! The townhouse had everything we could need and plenty of space for the whole family. Best part was the short walk to shops and being able to end the days getting ice cream and strolling on the beach just a few mins from home. The beach cart/chairs/toys made it so wonderful to enjoy the beach like a local.

    This was the perfect location for our annual York vacation! Close to town and short sands. The best part was all of the showers available for the family and the nice entryway that we could leave all of our sandy shoes etc. Wonderful rental!

    Our family of 9 very much enjoyed this place to celebrate Thanksgiving together. The photos and info are very accurate of the inside space. With 6 adults and 3 children, are appreciated having 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen, seating for us all at the dining room table and a spacious living room. So many extras with a crib, pack n play, high chair, puzzles, games, safety gates, and such. And, a very short walk to the beach, playground and an open coffee shop!! Before our family left they asked if we could meet here again in two years. Many thanks to our hosts for their communication and for sharing their place.

    Wonderful location-walking distance to town and beach. The VRBO was very clean and kitchen was nicely stocked. Our family wishes there were more bath towels which was the only negative. Love this little town.

    The location is perfect. Walk to the beach, brewery, breakfast and bars. Other great restaurants and sights a short drive away. Late at night and early morning, you can hear the surf from the deck. I would recommend this to anyone of any age, provided you don't have an issue with stairs.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The host provided just about everything you could need. We had a 1 year old with us and there was a crib, pack n play and highchair along with a baby gate so we didn't have to worry about her falling down stairs. We were within walking distance of Short sands so taking out the cars was only necessary for out of town trips, shopping etc. Plenty of room for our 3 cars. Other than our beach towels and our own food and toiletries, there wasn't much else we needed to bring. An added plus, the weather cooperated.
