About this property

Welcome to York Beach! Come stay, relax and make memories that last a lifetime.

This 5 bedroom, 3 full bathroom, luxury beach house in York Beach, Maine called Sea Rose Haven is less than a 3/10 of a mile walk to Long Sands, York Beach, Maine. The beach house is a short walk to Short Sands beach and village that is home to York Wild Animal Park, along with a variety of shopping and restaurants to enjoy.

The Sea Rose Haven is close to everything. You can walk or have the York Trolley take you where you want to go within town.

The Sea Rose Haven is available for summer and year round vacations for singles, couples, families, children, grandparents, reunions, parties, weddings, and other occasions. This beach house has brand new front and side decks designed in 2017 ready for summertime relaxation. The house inside was totally renovated with high end quality products to include hard wood floors throughout the home, Italian tile in the kitchen, and custom tiled bathrooms. New windows throughout the home to enjoy the beautiful sea air. New master bathroom with a whirlpool tub and rain shower, washer, dryer and double sinks. New beds with protective coverings to ensure quality service to our guests.

Our luxury Sea Rose Haven kitchen is set up for any creative chef and awaits your cuisine of choice. The fully equipped kitchen includes stainless steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave. A pantry is provided to stock your groceries for your vacation. Any chef would be happy to create a meal in this beautifully designed kitchen that promotes the beautiful blue back-splash and granite counter tops. The kitchen island seats three (3) guests comfortably. The dining room seats ten (10) guests comfortably at the dining and pub tables. There are even 4 stools for extra seating.

The living room provides our guests with a sofa and recliner. The striped sofa pulls out into a sleeper bed for two (2). Television and WiFi is provided.

The first floor has two (2) bedrooms and one (1) full bathroom. The 2nd floor has three (3) bedrooms and two (2) full bathrooms. The master bedroom bathroom has a washer and dryer included.

The master bedroom suite provides a spacious sanctuary for the vacationer to relax whether it is reading a book or enjoying the sun on the balcony deck, a nap in the king bed, a relaxing rain shower, or a long bath in the tub. A nice place to enjoy and relax after a fun day at the beach.

The newly designed front decks is just the place to feel the sun and sea air, and enjoy family and friends, building memories of a lifetime.

The backyard has a picnic table and gas grill to enjoy a cookout. Let the fun begin! Last but not least a Maine beach house would not be a Maine beach house without an outside hot and cold shower to shower off that beach sand after a fun day at the beach. The outside shower has a door for privacy. So many of our guests love this feature.

We welcome you to come and stay to make wonderful memories to last a lifetime. We are at your service.

Labor Day getaway

We loved staying at this vrbo for the Labor Day weekend. The beach is close by and a quick walk. We loved that there were beach chairs and wagons that we could use to make our packing easier. The host was great and responsive and gave us some recommendations for things we could do while in the area. The only trouble we ran into was with the key lockbox. Not sure if it was jammed but it was hard to get the key out/back in. There was plenty of space for our entire group, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend this vrbo!

York Stay

The beautiful is a perfect spot just off the beach, only a 4 min walk, flat and easy. We had 6 kids ages 5-14 and it was a perfect location for them to walk downtown or to the beach.

York Beach

We’ve booked this house for several summers now, and it is always a perfect stay. The house fits our group (2 families) perfectly and is a perfect location for walking to long sands, and a quick drive to short sands. Can’t beat the location, and the owners are excellent. Can’t wait for our next stay!

Good time

We had a good time staying on York. The house was as listed and had anything we could possibly need. The beach towels were a huge help and the multiple bedrooms were great for extended family. We loved spending a lot of time on the covered porch.

A wonderful week away in a beautiful home with all the amenities in the perfect location!

I just spent a week with my family and two other families at the perfect home on Pine Street in York. It was exceptionally clean, beautiful, and so close to the beach even the little ones could walk. We cooked dinners in the spacious kitchen, and enjoyed drinks on the deck. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing summer getaway!

Great location and plenty of beach chairs and toys for kids. Good size bedrooms and plenty of beds. Wish the living room area was a little bigger since we were stuck inside during the 2 days of rain. Overall it’s a good place.

Annual York Beach Vacation

Spent another summer in York, Me at our favorite property. This house has it all and is super clean. Check in was once again flawless, and we were very happy with the communication from the owner on their steps taken to clean and sanitize.

Perfect house for or vacation!!

We absolutely love staying at this house for our annual York vacation!! We stayed with another family and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is great to cook in and is fully stocked. Loved the master bedroom, so luxurious and spacious. The open concept on the first floor was wonderful for our family game night. The location is great, a quick walk to the beach! The outdoor shower is wonderful after a day at the beach. Kathy, the owner is very responsive and a lovely person. Can’t wait to go back next year!!

Great stay for our yearly week in York. Perfect location and perfect accommodations.

House was beautiful, the perfect size for the 9 of us. Rooms were comfortable and perfectly decorated for the beach. It was great to have a washer and dryer in the house, and the kitchen was excellent for all of our needs. It was great to receive a welcome card and gift upon our arrival which made the kids even more excited. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a great, comfortable, and quiet vacation. Perfect location to Long Sands and the bath house, and the general store. Excellent property thank you for sharing it with us.

Needs Work

We had a nice week with our extended family. The house is a 5 minute walk to Long Sands Beach and a walkable distance to the Short Sands Beach area. The owner responded very quickly when we had a problem with the grill. On the other hand upon our arrival the house needed vacuuming, the table cloth on the dining table was torn in several spots, the refrigerator, although empty, needed to be cleaned and the living room rug had multiple stains and desperately needed replacement (or simply discarded in the trash). These issues could be easily addressed by the owner, but whether that will occur in the future is anyone's guess.

Summer Beach House

*During the last week of July 2023, my parents, my husband and I, and eight teenage boys stayed at the house. The house was large enough to accommodate us all with all the beds and one air mattress. Owner provided all the linens, beach and bath towels. *Great location to walk easily to Long Sands beach for a beach day. Shorts Sands is a little too far to carry beach items, but close enough for a nice walk, to eat or shop. *There’s a large kitchen with lots of pots, pans, dishes and utensils, as well as an electric skillet, waffle maker, coffee maker (pot or Keurig). I opted for paper plates and plastic utensils instead of washing everything or using the dishwasher. I would suggest bringing small plastic containers for leftovers. That was the only item missing that I wanted. I, also, rearranged some of the items on the shelves in the pantry for our supplies for the week. That was the only place to put the non-perishable food items. *Any questions I had were answered very quickly so I wasn’t left wondering. Be sure to review the blue binder in the desk. Several of my questions were answered in that, too. *I gave four stars for cleanliness because I found some trash left under a few beds and I had to swipe down the inside of the fridge. *Everyone said they had a great, relaxing vacation. We would come again. Thank you!

Great stay at York Beach

What a great place to walk down memory lane. I was able to share childhood memories of family visits to York Beach with this property as an outstanding base. Short walk to Long Sands, Short Sands and the Goldenrod as well as Nubble Light. Felt very lucky to have been able to rent such a beautiful spot in York Beach. House was very clean and kitchen was well stocked with all appliances and kitchen tools. Although we had a few rainy days the house was a great place to reconnect with friends. Highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Rose

Host profile image
We purchased our York Beach property as a dream come true. We love York Beach and village and come to York often. We are lucky as we only live across the bridge in New Hampshire and can enjoy the beautiful Maine coast all the time.

Why they chose this property

With our love for York Beach we knew this was the place to buy our beach house and with our interest in renovations we worked on it throughout the winter of 2013 to create our piece of Maine vacation home escape what we now call the Sea Rose Haven. We look forward to accommodating our guests year after year.

What makes this property unique

A private year round beach house with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a pull out sofa for guests. This home is a great place for any occasion and with the 2 first floor bedrooms it works well when having elderly guests over, too. We wanted a place that can provide a vacation for the entire family unit and we believe we did. This home provides room enough for multiple families to enjoy together. We are happily at your service and hope to see you soon.
