About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Come sit on our porch! It's the favorite room in the house!

It just doesn't get any better than this! This spacious Victorian house can be your fabulous vacation destination. The expansive wrap around porch, breath taking views of the bay, four baths and five bedrooms was renovated in 2019 and waiting for you. The spacious kitchen allows for easy meal preparation and is a favorite gathering spot. There is plenty of space to share times with friends and family or find a quiet corner to read a book or take a nap. Enjoy your morning coffee or happy hour inside or out, any time of year. The observation tower on the top story will be ready in the spring of 2024.
It is a comfortable walking distance to Short Sands beach, the Nubble Lighthouse, Dunn's Ice Cream and local attractions and restaurants in the summer. We allow up to two dogs, no more so don’t ask (no cats due to allergies); one occupant must be 25 years or older and provide proof of age. This property does not allow large gatherings for parties or events.

Beautiful views and great location
We had a very short stay here, but enjoyed every moment. Beautiful house, beautiful views and easy walk to Short Sands and Nubble Light. The sun rises were beautiful and we were very comfortable here.

Family weekend
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location was great with nice views of the water. Close walk to Short Sands Beach. Kitchen was spacious and the large table was great for games. Thank you for opening up your property so we could enjoy three generations of family time.

Family Celebration
We stayed here to attend my daughter’s college graduation. We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place to celebrate with our family! The location and view was absolutely amazing!

Christmas at the York House
This property was actually better than it appeared in the pictures! The view and proximity to the ocean were wonderful, and the large downstairs playroom area for the cousins to enjoy each other’s company was an added bonus. The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy to cook together. It made for a great accommodation for our family to gather for Christmas. And a gift from the host was totally unexpected!!

GREAT Retreat!
We found this home to be a wonderful place for our quarterly retreat of friends/co-workers. We cooked up a storm of curries in the kitchen together, did 5 jigsaw puzzles at the dining room table, watched the rain and wind on the ocean from the comfort of this warm house and slept like babies! Thank you!

Wonderful home for a family gathering!
We loved our stay here! The home was beautiful in a wonderful location with amazing views. It was the most fully equipped property we've ever stay at; it had everything from lobster pots to kites. We cooked our meals and had every possible thing we needed.The beds were comfy and we just enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for a great stay!
