Short Sands weekend

My family and I just spent the weekend at this townhouse in York. We such fun weekend. This townhouse was wonderful. We certainly enjoyed our stay, absolutely perfect location for everything from beach to restaurants and shopping. The townhouse was great, met all of our needs. It was fully equipped with everything one would need. You don’t need to bring a thing. You literally park your car and walk everywhere.

Incredible for beach bums!

This is the perfect location for anyone looking to spend their days at the beach! It's just a short walk, practically across the street! There is no hill to walk up and down while carting all the beach toys and chairs! The only negative my teenage daughter expressed was feeling a uncomfortable walking past the restaurant employees who took cigarette breaks in the back of Inn on the Blues. It did not bother my husband and I but worth sharing for anyone who would appreciate knowing this. I'd also say the yard in front of the townhouse row is quite an eyesore, but easily ignored as we spent all our time at the beach or indoors. These are the only reason for 4 stars. We enjoyed easy access to the parking lot with a bonus side door right next to our parking spots. It made unpacking so convenient and easy. The unit itself is immaculate and beautifuly renovated! Comfortable beds and A/C units in both bedrooms, we slept well! Each bedroom has large closets with hangers provided. The room for the kids also has a large dresser. Everything you could need is provided by the hosts, from linens and kitchen needs to beach supplies. Typically, we are not ones to watch TV but with the Olympics we are a bit more interested in sitting in the living room. The smart TV and comfortable couches were enjoyed and we even commented it being the most comfortable living space of any of our Short Sands rentals over the years. We are already hoping to stay here again next summer!

The location of this property was great. We were in walking distance to all the hot spots in York. The place was squeaky clean and was big enough for our party of five. We also appreciated the washer and dryer. Thanks for the lovely stay!

In the heart at Short Sands

Close to Short Sands beach, shopping, zoo and park. Nice 15-20 minute walk to Long Sands beach. Yard is small but there is a small porch. Sleeping for six was tight but all areas were very clean. Kitchen area was pleasantly large for a small unit.

Great location, I parked my car at check in and drive again until we left, very walkable. Property was exactly as listed. Owners were responsive and welcoming (which I very much appreciated since i cancelled a different property because of poor communication with that owner) they really wanted us to have a great stay! We definitely did! Thank you!

Loved this place!

My family and I had a great time at this condo. The condo was perfect for all our needs--even had a washer and dryer!--but best of all you're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the beach and dozens of shops, restaurants, and fun things to do... Like a zoo and amusement park! Be sure to check out Nubble lighthouse, too, only five minutes away. I highly recommend this place for a family who wants to vacation in York and spend time at Short Sands Beach (which is gorgeous, by the way). Portsmouth is just 15 minutes away too, so you have lots of fun options on a vacation!
