1 Block to Beach -large deck overlooking beautiful yard - Cul-de-sac

16 Eastern Ave York Beach, Maine . 3 minute walk to Long Sands Beach

Note : My calendar showing availability is always up to date. I also respond within the day to all inquiries; usually within the hour.

Full week rentals (Saturday to Saturday) are required during July & August.

Views of ocean/beach from most rooms and rear deck. You'll love the beautiful décor and new furnishings in this like new home - with plenty of entertaining space inside as well as in the yard. Sleep comfortably with quality mattresses, pillows, and linens available.

A very short walk to Long Sands Beach....about 500 feet! As you walk on to the beach you will be near the center of Long Sands beach, just south of the Sun & Surf Restaurant. Great for families due to the amount of beach space, even at high tide, and the best crabbing and tide pooling in town at low tide! Perfect spot for walking or running along the beach as well. And a quick walk to some of the local restaurants or take the trolley to the Nubble Lighthouse or Short Sands Beach from the end of the street. Long Sands Surfing area is only a 10 minute walk away. Life guards on duty all summer.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the 30'x12' rear deck while enjoying the sounds & views of the ocean. Neighborhood is predominantly owner occupied. Extremely safe neighborhood. Dead end road with 10 houses.

Walk to: Beach, 'Down Town' (location of restaurants & shops), High School (location of grass fields, skateboard park, track, & tennis courts, high school baseball field), Little League Baseball Field, Nearby Restaurants (Sun & Surf, Lobster Cove, 'The blinkey cone')
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a private yard, and a coffee maker.

As advertised

Enjoyed the stay. Great location. Clean and spacious home. Ed was great communicator and had some nice local recommendations. Only knock would be on the cleaning requested prior to departure, which included not just stripping beds/towels but running thru washer and dryer. Seemed excessive, especially considering we were already paying a cleaning fee. Overall, very positive experience and would stay again.

June rental

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was in a great location, within easy walking distance to the water and coastline. The house was clean, impeccably organized, and maintained. However, given the high price of the rental, we were frustrated that we had to make beds, clean sheets and towels and have everything folded and back in a closet before an 11:00 check put time. In addition, there are no dressers, luggage stands or any place (other than the flood) to put the luggage. A folding luggage stand in each room would be a welcome and easy fix.

Terrific house!

We loved our time in York. Ed was such a great host and made the process very painless. The house was just as advertised, and Long Sands exceeded our expectations. It is difficult to find a vacation that pleases both the forty something parents, the teens, the preteens and the littles, but this house did it. We had a great week and are so thankful for the memories.

Family Wedding

We were in town for a family wedding and there were 6 of us staying in the house, all adults and older teens. The house was clean and a good size for our group. 4 of the beds are bunk beds though, so might work best for a family with some younger kids. Having multiple bathrooms was great for getting ready, the kitchen is really big and roomy and it was stocked with everything you would need to cook. Communication with the hosts was great during the entire process. Also close to the beach if you go in the warmer months and not far from the Nubble Lighthouse. I would definitely recommend!

Great getaway spot!

We recently returned from a week at this property. We had 2 families- 9 guests, 4 adults, and 5 kids (ages between 4-9). We had a fabulous week! The house was clean and lovely. It was plenty big for all of us. The location could not be beat- we walked to Long Sands beach almost every day which made it easy with all of the kids. The owner, Ed, was communicative and friendly especially with the increased questions due to the pandemic regulations. One helpful piece of information would be that there is only one AC window unit on each floor. We were there for 3 extremely hot days. The downstairs unit cooled the first floor pretty well. The upstairs was in one bedroom which made it harder to circulate the air through the other bedrooms. An additional window unit would have made it more comfortable for the others, especially the kids in the double bunk bed room, to sleep. Despite that, we would absolutely rent this house again! It was a great property and we really enjoyed our stay! Thank you Ed!
