Amazing place!
I rented this spot for a quick getaway with my daughters and my one year old granddaughter. We absolutely loved it ! So spacious, beautifully updated! We were already taking about coming back! The only thing I would suggest is clearer instructions for trash disposal . Welcome e-mail said one thing, exit email said another . We lucked out with another guest leaving and he should us where it was . Highly recommend this place !

Lovely Condo with Convenient Location
We recently planned a weekend get-away to York and loved staying in this condo. It was spacious and well decorated with an incredibly convenient location. Jan was very accommodating and helpful, as well!
For future renters, a few tips to make the most of your stay -
1) The condo is in a commercial building in the heart of the village, you enter next to the Wicked Good Ice Cream shop and take the elevator found to your right to the 3rd floor
2) Given it's location in the center of everything, it can be noisy at night or in the early AM (trash coming for restaurants). If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs
3) There are not beach supplies to borrow, so remember to bring your towels, blankets, chairs, etc!
4) There is 1 space for parking in the lot on the opposite side of Main St. You enter next to Molly-O's. There is another spot about .3 miles up the road that was safe and a great place to leave a car we wouldn't be using. If you have more than 2 cars, it will be pricey to find parking so definitely plan ahead to car pool!
5) Pro-Tip: There are card games and puzzles in the coffee table drawers and our group loved playing Jeopardy!
