Loved the house

The house was lovely and we were able to walk to Short Sands Beach and stores and restaurants. The owner was wonderful. She answered all my questions, went out of her way to make us comfortable, and checked in with me during our stay to be sure everything was ok.

My family and I have been vacationing in York for about 5 years now and have had a different house every year. Traci was so responsive and the location is unbeatable to short sands. We will definitely be back.

Simply lovely!

We had three couples and two children from three generations, in town for a family wedding. The house was perfect. Everyone had space and all their needs satisfied. The house is right in the small town, quiet and private but within easy walking distance to the beach or a restaurant.

LOCATION!!!!

We had this house at maximum capacity…adults and teenage boys…this house fit all of our needs but absolute most importantly had the best location! I grew up coming to the York area every single summer…had a brief hiatus when we moved west…being able to bring our family back here was a wonderful first trip back since 2009! We were able to walk to everything on short sands and long sands beaches. Our teens were able to have some freedom being able to get ice cream and hang at fun-o-Rama without us. I would recommend this house for all ages. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back!

5 Star Labor Day Stay!

Tracie the owner was amazing to work with. Her communication was top notch which made it easy and simplistic to get any questions we had answered. The house was beautiful and was just a shirt 3 min walk to the beach, and many eateries/attractions. The pictures of the house on the listing are not up to date...the house is much more updated and even more beautiful/beachy than pictured. If you're looking for a fun/convenient stay in York, look no further!!!

Perfect for our family!

Everything was perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better house and location for our family. There was plenty of room for the kids to hang out in the living room while the adults enjoyed the second sitting room. My grandmother and mother really loved the sun room area. Short walk to the beach and downtown was so convenient. Traci was always available to answer questions. We can't wait to come back next year!

Perfect house and location

I was so excited to find a property that could fit our big group comfortably with such a perfect location in York. Under a 5 minute walk to the shops and the beach. The house was beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice! The extra beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards were a big plus! Traci was easily reached via text/phone and great to work with. Hoping to return next summer!
