Outstanding place to stay.

We truly enjoyed staying here and the place was decorated and the furniture was comfortable. Had a problem with finding a spot to plug in the CPAP machines and cell phones.

Wonderful Location for a fall getaway

We came up for UNH homecoming with our two German Shepherds. The property was spacious, clean, and well stocked with all of the essentials for a comfortable stay. We had a small issue with the shower draining but the property manager responded promptly to the concern. The location is absolutely perfect as it is right down the street from Long and Short Sands beach but far enough off of the main strip to avoid traffic. Access to route 1 and 95 makes this property a perfect jumping off point to get out and enjoy the area. Portsmouth is 15, Ogunquit 10, and Durham 25 minutes!

Beds uncomfortable but location is great

The location is close to everything but we only stayed one out of 2 nights because we couldn’t handle the beds. The two in the bedroom were so soft you sank in and the two futons were as expected with the bar across the middle.

Quick family getaway

We took our two toddlers with us on a family vacation for a few days to York Beach. The area was very quiet and overall pretty private. Great location as it was just a minute or two drive to the beach, could definitely be walking distance. My only issue was the overgrown rose bushes in the front and the screen door latch wasn’t clicking properly so that was a bit of an issue with toddlers. Other than that it was a great stay and hope to stay again sometime!

The property was perfect! Clean, quiet, cozy. Great yard, close to town and beach. Everything was great! Only thing was there were no trash bags and the tv was difficult. I would like to see them switch to steaming services. The water pressure is awesome. Everything was very clean and stocked. beds and couch are super comfortable. Fire pit and declare awesome !We will be back!!

Sweet little cottage

This nice cottage is in a great location. Cute as can be outside, inside has beautiful wood trim and ceilings in the living area and a large bathroom. The couches and beds are not as comfortable as we like and are noisy with squeaking upon any movement. Otherwise it has great potential.

York stay

Place was clean. Didn’t like being next to the road of the camping site Ad says sleeps 6. I find that hard to believe. Beds were so small my husband and I had to sleep in separate beds. Very uncomfortable beds. Other than that nice place.

All was great except…

We loved the deck the most and all day sun. Everything else was fine except the sheets on the bed NOT under the window were terribly scratchy and the bed not comfortable so was not for a good sleep the first night . We took the sheets off for the next night. Would be nice to have Kleenex and a few plastic small plastic lunch bags etc. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay very much.

big mistake

not enough room here. will list a few faults. reserved cottage for one month and only stayed two weeks. needed so much that I didn't complain at the time because I didn't want anyone coming in and out. Mattresses were like sleeping in a hole. Filthy dirty filters on air conditioners. Terrible mold on shower curtain. Dirty shag rugs. Closet doors just leaning on side wall. Kitchen table leg just balancing and fell on my lap. Rose thorns so overgrown on handicap ramp so that I couldn't use my walker. constant traffic just 6 feet from living room window to campground next door. bad smell in cottage. kitchen cluttered with beach chairs and accessories which should have been kept in the shed where we had to carry our trash. floors need washing. did no good to complain to VRBO. talked to many people about being somewhat reimbursed after spending thousands. they gave me $225 back. I'd like VRBO to go and check out this cottage. We are two elderly women that saved for this months vacation and it was wasted. After staying there for 13 days, we couldn't take it anymore.. This is only a partial list.
