  • 2026 Availability Now Open:
    August 30 to September 4 (5 Nights) - $1,750.
    Fall 2026 is open.

    This beautiful home has many recent updates. Your feet can be in the sand in minutes. Short Sands is just a 5-minute walk from the front door, and Long Sands is right around the corner. This home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and sleeps 8 people. The lower-level bedroom has bunk beds and a pull out couch that can double as a second living space for the kids, allowing kids and adults to relax in their own space if needed. There is a huge deck in the backyard for meals and evening family fun. The entire home has been painted, both bathrooms have been fully remodeled, and there are new floors throughout. The kitchen has been redone with new appliances. The home comes fully prepared with everything a family needs for a day at the beach. The house is stocked with plenty of beach chairs, wagons, coolers, and beach umbrellas. Come relax and enjoy all that York Beach has to offer.

    Guests will get plenty of sun and surf while exploring the two-mile stretch of Long Sands Beach and visiting the Goldenrod Candy Shop at the Boardwalk of Short Sands Beach. They can also visit the York Wild Kingdom for a carnival ride or take photos of the Nubble Light.

    Bed linens are provided.
