Ocean Sands at York Beach

8/10 Good
"Emily at check in was wonderful, very kind and welcoming. The location is perfect, right across from Long Sands beach. Cute little store if you need coffee or snacks. Rooms have been recently updated and the decor is really cute, beachy vibe. Permanent food truck for quick meals on property. We stayed in main building on 1st floor. A lot of noise from above. They need to figure out some upkeep to common areas especially after a busy season. I’ve stayed at half a dozen motels on Long Beach, this being the biggest property I’ve stayed at and again the location is 10/10, recently updated but materials chosen have not held up and they are going to need to refresh some major bathroom items or next season will be rough. Might have just been our room but seems like material and functional design choices were just off. The recently updated rooms and price deals make it a great option."

New 3 Bedroom with Private Pool & big yd walking distance downtown York Beach..

10/10 Excellent
"The host is terrific: Knowledgeable, friendly, and amazingly responsive! The place was truly perfect for our family. Clean, light, roomy, and airy— with all the amenities of a newly renovated place! My husband and I were very comfortable on the first floor while my kids and grandkids had their own 2 bedrooms and bathroom, as well as another living room, on the second floor. Great for privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and organized and, like the rest of the house, meticulously clean! We spent several happy hours in the private swimming pool with our kids and grandkids before heading to the nearby beach for a glorious afternoon in the sunshine.Our grandkids enjoyed the local zoo, candy store, and toy shop, and we had delicious dinners at the local restaurants. Wonderful place! We will return!"
