There were some kids games and puzzles and a nice picnic table in the front lawn. Traci made the check in process easy and painless and reached out to make sure our needs were met.

The host responds immediately every time I messaged leading up to, during, and after the stay. The house was spotless, comfortable, much larger than we imagined based on pictures, and immaculately maintained. The linens were all clean, there were plenty of towels, and soft couch hangout blankets as well. There were toiletry baskets with variety of “could be easily forgotten” items. Aside from the house it is \*actually\* a 2-3 minute walk to short sands beach. The beach was clean, easy to get a spot on during peak vacation season, and lots of cute stores close by with food, ice cream, etc. There is something downtown for every age. The playground on short sands also is amazing for kids! We will be renting here again! ##### Devon P.

We had this house at maximum capacity…adults and teenage boys…this house fit all of our needs but absolute most importantly had the best location! I grew up coming to the York area every single summer…had a brief hiatus when we moved west…being able to bring our family back here was a wonderful first trip back since 2009! We were able to walk to everything on short sands and long sands beaches. Our teens were able to have some freedom being able to get ice cream and hang at fun-o-Rama without us. I would recommend this house for all ages. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back! ##### sara p.
