About this property

Amazing Rates!! Walk to The Nubble Lighthouse

We have read the reviews and are taking the feedback seriously. Changes have been made, furniture has been replaced, repairs are in progress and the lawn is being maintained. Let us show you we want to make sure you have the best vacation in York!

This is the perfect summer rental. Spacious and modern, with brand new hardwood flooring, beds, mattresses and linens. Updated and remodeled bathrooms in 2021. This house has 5 Br's and 3 full baths. For extended family vacations, this house is perfect for multi-generations and the elderly with a bedroom and full bath on the main floor. On the second floor, there is a large master suite with a deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Nubble Lighthouse. Also, on the second floor, there are 3 more BR's, two with a queen bed one and a full bed in the other, and one with two bunk sets with full bottoms and twin tops as well as a queen bed that can sleep 8. Amenities include 3 full baths, fully stocked kitchen, 2 fridges, 42' flat screen TV with cable and wireless internet, central vac, 2 car garage and wonderful decks overlooking the ocean. The lower deck has a table and chairs that seat 8. The upper deck has another table and chairs that seats 8, 2 loungers to relax and soak up the sun and a comfy sectional couch and chairs to watch the waves crash against the rocks with a glass of wine and a good book. Traveling with kids??? We are the place for you. In the lower level is our game room! We have a pool table, ping pong, air hockey, dart board, games, movies, books and puzzles. We have tried to think of your family, knowing that sometimes it rains and sometimes the kids need to be entertained. We are so lucky in York. We have 4 beautiful public beaches to choose from, and if that is not enough, take a quick ride to Ogunquit and enjoy that public beach, great shopping and dining as well. Or make a day of it and jump on board a whale watching boat or deep sea fishing vessel in Perkins Cove. If bargain shopping is what you are looking for, we have the great factory outlets in Kittery, just down the road. There is so much to do in our area we just can't cover it. Of course, a Maine vacation is all about relaxing so leave yourself plenty of time to sit and enjoy the ocean.

Casual low key, low stress stay for the whole family

Warm inviting home that you can feel comfortable in, even with toddlers running about. While the view of Nubble Light is magazine worthy, especially the sunrise behind, the homes casual atmosphere is not that of sterile houses you’d see in magazines.

Amazing living space

We loved everything! The house has such great space for a group. The balconies and verandas are perfect spots to enjoy with your family. The only thing to improve would be the mattresses.

51st College Reunion

The house lived up to its description on the VRBO website......plenty of beds for everyone..... a large fully equipped kitchen...great outdoor decks,....a spacious living room and dining room.....plenty of parking ... a great location with a short walk to Nubble Lighthouse. House was clean and welcoming. Outdoor yard could use some TLC. Attendees had high marks for the VRBO. No complaints. We plan to return in a few years!

RENTERS BEWARE

Here are the positives: 1. The kitchen was stocked with everything you might need, including small appliances (you will have to clean them before use). 2. There was ping pong, billiards and air hockey in the basement, plenty of board games and lots of videos to watch plus a bookshelf filled with books of various genres. 3. There were lots of night lights for the bathrooms and the halls. Now the negatives: This VRBO was the worst maintained and the most expensive we have stayed in. We have been coming to this area for 10 years now. 1. The description said the house had AC – it did not. I do not call a window unit in 1 bedroom upstairs, a stand-alone in another bedroom when there were 4 bedrooms and a stand-alone unit downstairs to be ac. We were hot, hot, hot sleeping! 2. The stand-alone unit in the bedroom overflowed and had to be mopped up. Huge mess. 3. There were fans in the hall upstairs that were broken and could not be used. 5. There was a TV upstairs in one of the bedrooms but no devices to use it. 6. The house needed a thorough cleaning. There were dead bugs and dust on lots of surfaces. 7. The washing machine was unbelievable dirty, and the dryer had enough lint in the catcher to start a small fire. 8. We sat outside on the chairs and the cushions provided no cushion. We could feel the rungs of the seats. 9. The pictures of the rooms are deceiving. They must have been taken 5 or more years ago. The living room furniture was dirty and needed

Double booking nightmare

Day of taking occupancy, received a call from Heidi that a double booking occurred, leaving us without a place to stay. After a few frantic hours of searching everywhere, Heidi found one property that was available, hyped it to us as an upgrade which it was in terms of size and high end finishes. However, the house was still under renovation, unsafe for small children, and dirty. We were no told of the house’s condition before arriving there. Due to asthmatic grandchildren I had specifically booked a house with central air, this mansion lacked a/c in some common rooms. The owner and Heidi were not honest about the conditions of the house, leaving us with either no vacation or making the best of it. We chose to make the best of it. Heidi agreed to send a pair of cleaners back on Sunday to clean 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. I only had access to a half bath and shared with my grandsons. A workman came and installed a window air conditioner into a bedroom for my grandson. We left the house cleaner than when we arrived and I will never rent through Heidi’s management company again.

Amazing space and location

The size of the house and layout of the space was perfect! The location is fantastic, walking distance to Nubble light house and Dunes ice cream. Short drive to both Long and Short Sands. We really enjoyed all of the above. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the house was extremely poor and we spend the first few days cleaning ourselves. Floors were really dirty, basement wasn't clean at all, floors not swept and sticky, ping pong table not wiped at all, bedding was sandy( linen was from dry cleaners and was good) and under beds and near corners of room were trash and dirt (old band aid, pacifiers, wrappers). We we're excited when the cleaners called us at 2:30pm to say the property was ready early, and unfortunately, seems like only a surface level cleaning is done. Also, the property outside is not maintained, overgrown bushes, yard hard to access (poop on the lawn when we got there). Hope the property company will share this with the owner as the house could be a 5 star if the cleaning was done better.

Disappointing Cleanliness and Maintenance

While the house has beautiful views and the check-in process was easy, we were disappointed with the overall condition and cleanliness. The kitchen floors were dirty, the coffee pot had leftover grinds, and the grill was filthy. The outdoor furniture was covered in pollen, and we had to spend a lot of time cleaning. The grounds were overgrown and unkempt, and the house and furniture were in more than used shape. Despite informing the rental company, we never heard back. The overall experience did not meet our expectations.

Excellent location

Wonderful location and beautiful outdoor spaces. The property is a bit dated, and we were disappointed that the pool table and cue sticks were wobbly and beat up (since that amenity was one of the primary draws for our family) - but it was still a great stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The guys really enjoyed the game room downstairs!! The only problem I saw was that there was no outside lights that worked by the driveway so when you get back at night it is dark. Beautiful view of the lighthouse.!!

Large Family Getaway

Had great weather for our stay. Convenient short walk to the light house. Mattresses in the bunk room were very uncomfortable and noisy (couldn't roll over without making a lot of noise). Not much sound insulation to the house- could hear every noise and echo from every room/floor. Furniture needs moved and cleaned under-couch in living room had a buildup of dirt. Otherwise pretty clean. Property Manager was very quick to answer our request/needs. Overall very nice place to stay!

Great location but very poorly maintained property

The house is very roomy and well laid out. Kitchen is well equipped. The stove top needs a very thorough cleaning. All of the doors leading to the decks are old and not well maintained (beyond maintenance really, need to be replaced). During heavy rain the doors and windows leaked. Many of the crank windows have been stripped and do not work. Outside plants are growing into the windows that are permanently open. The furniture needs complete and thorough steam cleaning. Or it should all be replaced. Noticeable smells on all living room furniture upholstery. We paid extra to bring a dog. Our dog was much cleaner than your furniture. Carpeting needs a thorough cleaning as well, especially the runner on the main staircase. Two humidifiers are provided, one upstairs and one downstairs. Neither are set up to drain. We had to mounts them on top of our coolers to provide enough capacity to capture the condensed water. We had to manually drain them multiple times. All in all if I could rate this property lower than one star I would. For the premium price we paid it was definitely NOT worth it.

Great stay at nubble!

Visited York Beach August 2023 with 12 family members, ages 11 to 83. Location was great, stones throw from Dunne’s ice cream and nubble lighthouse. Bit of a walk to short sands and long sands, but we needed the exercise. Great view, well stocked kitchen, lots of seating. Great stay!

Friends weekend

We were a group of veterans who served together who attempt to gather once a year. The location and the house were incredible. Perfect for what we needed. We spent the days exploring small towns and lounged at the house in the mornings and evenings. Foxs lobster house is nearby and so are the small town shops. Our only complaint was having to make our own beds!

Gorgeous house great hangout areas

The listing is as described. My favorite thing about it was that there were tons of spaces to hang out and play games and enjoy each other's company. There were some minor wear and tear things but that happens when you have large groups come through all the time. Made breakfast one morning and had everything I needed including 2 griddles and frying pans etc. In love with the back sun porch will miss my morning coffee there. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous house would stay again.

Perfect place for our whole family.

We planned a vacation with our extended family and this location was absolutely perfect. The home was very clean with plenty of space for everyone, inside and out. Great location short walk to the Nubble and less than a mile each directions for short and long sands. Our host was wonderful, even contacting us to let us check in early for the holiday weekend to beat the traffic. Home was well stocked with all the things you would need. We cooked most of our meals at the home, including grilling. We look forward to another visit in the future!

Beautiful view in a quaint town

Wonderful stay in York beach with beautiful views, easy walk to the lighthouse and super short drive to the beach/downtown area. It was nice being here off season and relaxing. House seems to be undergoing improvements which are welcomed. The cleanliness was a bit disappointing - many dust bunnies, coffee area was dirty, kitchen cabinets and appliances needed to be wiped down, new bedding would be a plus. The living room sofa really needs a replacement - it is quite dirty and stained. Overall a nice place to stay with a big group. Lots of potential!

Great spot!

We stayed here for Christmas and it was perfect. Plenty of room for the 6 kids, the game room was a great escape for the kids. Open kitchen made it easy for cooking and to still be able to chat and see everyone. We lost power due to a bad storm but there was a generator that automatically came on which was perfect. Also being able to see the nubble lit up for Christmas from the house was a special touch. Would recommend!

Winter stay near Bubble Lighthouse

The house and neighborhood were very quiet (other than the construction in the area), comfortable and well located by the lighthouse and beach.

Great weekend away

We enjoyed a long weekend - 11 of us - and the house was roomy enough for all of us! For November we had amazing weather and enjoyed sitting on the downstairs deck and on the porch. It did rain at night and there was a leak in the sliding door but we let the owner know and they will be fixing it. Loved the big couch and extra seating in that area. The table fit us all for meals and game time. One complaint is that most of the beds were extremely uncomfortable.
