10/10 Excellent

"Very nice house, in a great location. This was our second visit to this house, and we hope to come back. It is comfortable, and very well equipped (and we have stayed in a lot of rentals.) Owners are quick to respond to questions. We were there in the fall, but the garage had plenty of beach gear for summer use, as well as bicycles that are available for guests. The fenced in yard is perfect for our dog, and the house is an easy walk to Short Sand Beach. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors (many seem to be year-round) are friendly. York Beach is a nice area to explore, with interesting restaurants and a very nice historical sociery. This is a favorite house in a favorite place. Can't ask for more."
