About this property

Welcome to "Best of Both Beaches!"

No need to choose which beach to go to in York... this bright, happy beach is between both Short Sands AND Long Sands Beaches! Just STEPS from Short Sands, a few blocks from Long Sands Beach, and walking distance to Nubble Lighthouse. You'll just love the house and the location! The large enclosed front porch welcomes you and you'll love to hang out there after a day at the beach. This is a WHOLE house with separate living room, dinning room and spacious kitchen (not all tucked into the same one room) and bedrooms on 2nd floor. And a NEW Outdoor Shower to enjoy after a wonderful day at the beach. Washer & Dryer on first floor

There is plenty of room for everyone to hang out on the first floor with hard wood floors in full size living room and dining room. Sunny living room with charming fireplace and sleeper couch (if a relative comes for a night) offers space for all to hang out after a day exploring York. No need to keep running upstairs with a half bathroom on the first floor!

Enjoy meals and board games on the large dinning room table in the separate bright dining room with built-in china hutch. You can cook out back with the GAS Grill. Get supper ready in the fully stocked sunny kitchen with ceramic floors. A wonderful bonus screened-in back porch where everyone can come for lunch with their bathing suits still on. Or come back at the end of the beach day and leave all their gear, or just sit and chat with folks in the kitchen. WiFi included.

Air Conditioning on the first & second floor for those rare super hot days.

Be ready to fight over who gets the 2 of the 3 bedrooms with an OCEAN VIEW! The 2nd floor has a full bath room with shower/tub, 3 bedrooms (2 rooms have 1 full bed, 1 has 2 single beds) and cozy carpet on the whole second floor! We have many guests who come back year after year to this special "Best of Both Beaches" house, so make your reservation before it is too late.

Just walk down the hill to enjoy all of downtown York Beach, with its bandstand, Ellis Park, playground, basketball courts, shops, and Goldenrod taffy!

We do NOT allow guests to bring pets regardless of size, fur/hair, training or age of pet. Thank you.

Winter Rentals (6 month minimum) available October-May, but does not include heat, Wifi, cable tv or snow removal. One month security required with 90+ day rental.

Amazing location!

This house is in the absolute best location! 2 minute easy walk to short sands and easy 6 minute walk to long sands. Sarah was very communicative and helpful. The front porch is great for sitting and visiting while the kids play. The house was spotless. Outdoor shower was a great treat. Walked everywhere from beach to shops to restaurants, playgrounds, park etc. house is relaxing and calm. Parking was easy. Would 100% rent this property again!

Vacation 2022

We had a wonderful week! Location was perfect, a short 2 minute walk to short sands beach. Sarah was very responsive- when we needed new lightbulbs for the bathroom she had them there the same day. Didn’t use back porch as it was much to hot during our stay..did sit on front porch when it wasn’t too humid-only thing I wish was that seats on front porch were a little higher to see out (not really a complaint, just a wish). Overall a nice place to stay,can’t wait for next year.

Great week!

We loved our stay on York— we’ve been coming annually for a long time, but with a toddler we decided it would be better to have a house to come home to. This really worked out for us! The house is very welcoming. The kitchen has everything you’d need to cook, and there is plenty of space to spread out. We used both porches, and the laundry was a lifesaver. The location is perfect- we walked comfortably to both beaches. Downtown is right around the corner for snacks and coffee. We love when things are walkable, so this location worked out great! Sarah was very communicative and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Taylor

Hello travelers! Our name is Sarah and Herb. We have owned this wonderful house, 7 Broadway, since 2013 as well as the two houses beside this house 5 Broadway (2 bedroom) and 3 Broadway (8 bedroom). Herb has been vacationing in York with his family since he was a child. We love York Beach and our proud to share our houses with our special guests so they can enjoy this magical town with their families every year. We are so pleased to have guests come back every year to our houses and now consider these houses an important part of their family tradition! The location of our houses were chosen to be convenient to both beaches AND the downtown food and fun. Welcome to a great vacation!

Why they chose this property

This is a bright and happy house with such a PERFECT location between both beaches. Full size living, room, dinning rooms and kitchen means your not squeezed together like so many rentals with all that in one room. That is why people re-rent every year. Start your new York Beach vacation tradition at 7 Broadway!
