We really enjoyed our stay! The home is beautiful and well kept. York is such a peaceful city, making it a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The hosts were friendly, accommodating, and very responsive to all of our messages throughout our visit. Communication was easy, and we truly appreciated their hospitality.

Beautiful location, water view, spectacular outdoor shower, and peaceful deck. The kitchen is new but needs more place settings, drinking cups, silverware (there were 6 forks.) There is only AC in the bedrooms, not on the main floor when we stayed. The single beds in the 2 bedrooms upstairs are not comfortable. If you are a couple with 4 kids this place is great. If you are 3 couples (as we were) it will not be comfortable. The location is great minutes from anything with a grocery store within 15 minutes. The house was not as described by the host, be sure to clarify anything you need with the host prior to booking.

My friends and I stayed here to celebrate my friends elopement, it was the perfect spot. Great location to everything: beaches, downtown, etc. Great neighborhood to walk in if guests wanted to. The house was perfectly clean, just as advertised and more than enough space for everyone. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!
