Great family weekend away!
Our family of 9 adults enjoyed a relaxing long weekend in York. The house perfectly accommodated all of us. There was plenty of space, comfortable bedrooms and everything we needed was easily assessable. The location is perfect - right on the beach! And restaurants and shopping are minutes away. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great family getaway.
My spouse and 7 adult family members comfortably stayed in this house without feeling on top of each other. The location was perfect. Walking distance to shops, restaurants in York but also incredible views right from the deck. We could not have picked a better house for our family.

Excellent Beach House
This was a beautiful, tidy, spacious beach house with amazing views of Short Sands beach. We loved the house and it was perfect for our extended family. The little kids (5&6) loved the toys and the adults loved the puzzles. The Kitchen had many amenities and was a pleasure to cook in. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful and we'd love to come back some day.

Great house, great location for family fun
We stayed this week with our 4 kids and dog and it’s a terrific house in a great location. Plenty of bedrooms, nice open living space, and the game room is terrific for when there’s some down time etc. It was also so nice to be able to bring our dog. We’ve been visiting the area and renting houses forever and this is a top pick for sure!

Amazing!
I’ve been visiting York for the past fifteen years, and have stayed in a number of rentals. I don’t think I’ll ever find a better location than this house. The proximity to short sands and downtown is ideal, especially for those with kids. The owners were delightful and responsive. I have nothing but good things to say about our stay!

Gorgeous beachfront house
We’ve stayed as a family at a number of VRBO properties and this one ranks at the top for sure. There was so much room to spread out, the home is well-maintained and the location is perfect right at the beach. The game room was a lot of fun and a nice perk! The owners were super responsive to questions and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Family reunion in the off season!
We had an incredible stay at this VRBO! The house is not only beautifully renovated and spacious, offering the perfect blend of communal areas and private retreats, but it's also located just across from Short Sands Beach, providing breathtaking ocean views from nearly every window. The responsiveness of the hosts added to our seamless experience. The game room in the garage was a delightful bonus that everyone enjoyed. This home is an ideal choice for a family reunion, especially in the off-season. Highly recommend for a memorable family getaway
