We so enjoyed our 4-night stay in this home. Beautiful views, comfortable beds, everything we needed in the kitchen and the convenience of the Ogunquit Playhouse and good restaurants made our stay so nice despite the bad weather. Loved this home.

Great family weekend away!

Our family of 9 adults enjoyed a relaxing long weekend in York. The house perfectly accommodated all of us. There was plenty of space, comfortable bedrooms and everything we needed was easily assessable. The location is perfect - right on the beach! And restaurants and shopping are minutes away. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
