Best location for a trip with young child

Location, location, location! The apartment is right across the street from one of the best spots on Long Beach. There is also a little convenience store a block and a half or so away. Was a life saver when it came to hungry bellies. Donna was super helpful and responsive during our stay. Great beach vacation overall! One for the books.

The best stay in southern Maine

The location of Donna’s home can’t be beat. We have two little ones so not having to pack everything up for the entire day for the beach makes our vacation so much more relaxing. Going back and fourth to the house is a breeze as it’s right across the street from the beach. This is our second stay here and we are looking forward to our third next summer! Donna is the sweetest and you can tell she truly wants you to enjoy her home just as much as she does. The home is clean, has all the necessities, and we love having our meals on the picnic table on the deck and we listen to the waves crashing.

Home Away from Home

York is such a sweet village and evokes so many happy memories. We love having such a nice place to stay. Donna, our hostess , puts so much into accomodating her guests. She adds to the enjoyment of our vacation. The condo is so comfortable and spectacularly located across the street from longs sands. We have rented from Donna for several years now and it feels like home! Always have a few tears in my eyes when vacation is over and we head out!

Can’t beat the location!!

The property is exactly as advertised. Donna was great and very helpful by providing detailed instructions for an easy check in. The house is right across the street from the beach so it was perfect for my two young boys. We could stay on the beach for the morning, leave our stuff and easily come home for lunch and naptime and then head back after. It’s also very close to a food stand/convenience which was awesome. The house had all the basic necessities, an awesome picnic table and umbrella and we felt at home all week!

Cozy and relaxing!

What a cozy and comfortable apartment, with the best location! We ended up using the kitchen much more than planned because we were so comfortable. PERFECT location, we loved taking multiple walks up and down the beach. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the little markets, restaurants, and ice cream stands all along Long Beach Ave. Donna was so easy to communicate with, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Love our stay at Longsands

Donna communicated with us prior to our stay to let us know if there are changes to the property or any thing we need to know about the beach and the village. We had a wonderful 2 week stay and look forward to going back next year. Donna is always thoughtful and considerate of her guests . We really appreciate her efforts. I feel like she really looks out for us! The rental is very comfortable and you can't get any better for the location.

Beautiful hidden gem on long sands beach

This is our second time to this condo on long sands beach. The property owner is super responsive and attentive to any questions that may arise. The beds are all comfortable and it is the perfect location if you are staying in York, Maine. The location is literally steps away from long sands beach and easy parking in and out.

Great place to chill on the beach

Usually we hit Hampton Beach, but not anymore. This was a cute basement condo, no view, but no stairs and no road noise. A mere 100 paces from door to beach sand, cannot beat it. Donna was a fantastic host who communicated with us more than expected or anticipated. The condo is very well equipped with all the amenities you will need to have a great stay. We look forward to future stays at this location and condo!

Steps from the Beach!

The location could not have been better. Just steps across from the Beach. Had everything we needed. First floor was great yet still pretty quiet. Easy communication with the property manager. We had plenty of space in and out but I think would be a little tight for a larger family.

Dream vacation

Donna’s home away from home was truly a dream. Nothing beats the location of being right across from the beach. We were able to spend long days at the beach, come back and grill, or easily walk to the many dining options nearby. Plenty of space for our family of 4, and her home had everything we needed and more. The a/c and washer and dryer were a huge bonus! We wish we never had to leave and we can’t wait to return! You can tell Donna really wants you to enjoy your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Moy-Bruno

Host profile image
Long Sands beach is an hour and a half away from our home in MA and spending even one day there is like a vacation for us, an escape from our hectic , high stress businesses. Our dream is to one day stay in our beach condo for weeks at a time, but until then, our home is your home! :)

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with York ME and Long Sands Beach many years ago. We spent years renting motel rooms nearby for long weekends but dreamed that one day we would have a place across the street from our favorite beach, a place that feels like home. The condo is one level, no steps to climb for those of us who are entering our golden years:) Super convenient for those with young children too, no stairs to climb with kids in tow and not to mention, all those beach toys!!

What makes this property unique

Waking up early, making a cup of coffee and walking outside to watch the sunrise , taking a morning stroll on the beach, is like a dream come true....the absence of a water view from our rear unit is surprisingly a plus, encouraging us to walk outside to experience the ocean while also providing added quiet from the busy beach road traffic when we're home cooking, reading, working or napping :)
