The Sand and Surf retains many of its charming 1900's features such as the original bead board and hardwood floors but it has been beautifully renovated and boasts a modern kitchen, bathrooms, and more. The home sits majestically above the ocean. Go back to those gentler times of summers on the rugged coast of Maine: relaxing afternoons on the porch, strolling the beach or savoring the local attractions. You'll enjoy spectacular views from the enclosed and open porches. Just yards away, Short Sands Beach and downtown York Beach Village offers a sandy beach, quaint shops, ice cream, restaurants, entertainment and more--perfect for the young at heart! Looking to adventure beyond Short Sands? We are located less than 1/4 mile from Long Sands Beach, a short walk to the Nubble Lighthouse and a short bike ride to York Village. One Long Beach Vacation Rental Properties also owns the Sea View located next door. In addition, we have five properties located down the street at our One Long Beach address. These include three charming cottages (Goose Rocks, Heron Neck, and Owls Head) as well as the Main House and the Carriage House.

I am one of 29 first cousins on my father's side. We get together every few years to cherish and honor our heritage. This venue is one of the best we have ever stayed in. The views are stunning. The front porch is to die for. The entire facility was very clean. On the first floor, there are three sitting rooms appointed with comfortable leather couches and chairs. The open dining space was large enough for all of us. The large modern kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dinnerware. It has two refrigerators and two dishwashers. Upstairs the bedrooms were more than sufficient for a good night's sleep. it is close (walking distance) to eateries and souvenir shops. It was not inexpensive, but worth every penny to our group from all over the country. And did I mention the spectacular front porch? ##### Bruce R.

After searching for homes we decided that this house would be perfect. After looking through the pictures for months, the day finally arrived when we got to check in. We met with Ed and he gave us a full tour of the house. He was SO helpful and accommodating. The house is stunning. Every room is beautifully decorated and SOO clean. The entire house was immaculate. We had 20 guests staying with us any there was plenty of room. Everyone slept great and there were plenty of bathrooms for all guests to use. The location of the house is within walking distance to downtown, Nubble Light and Brown's Ice Cream. I honestly don't think we could have found a better location if we tried. I highly recommend this house to anyone who wants a perfect retreat. ##### Sarah P.

We hosted 23 of our family members in this house for our wedding and we wished we could have stayed longer--the accommodations and location were just PERFECT! Ed and Barbara were excellent to work with--we could tell just how much they care about their property as it is clearly kept in tip-top shape. My parents visited it during the winter months and thought maybe the upstairs seemed "cramped"...well, it was absolutely fine! Plenty of bathrooms and space for everyone to feel comfortable. We didn't even get to use every space in the house since there were so many common areas to choose from (and the weather made it hard not to spend most of our time out on the beautiful porch or across the street on the yard next to the ocean!) Finally, a note on the kitchen--fully stocked with every utensil we needed, two fridges AND 2 dishwashers!) I really can't say enough about how perfect our time was at the house. Thank you, Ed and Barbara! ##### Shaina D.

York off season is very quiet, but the house is lovely and warm and is the perfect location. There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms to offer privacy for co workers and the dinning area made for a great meeting space. We love the house and Ed was wonderful to work with. We will be back again. Emily ##### Emily L. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard M. 4 Oct 2013 #### Comfort With A View! Every other year I plan a reunion for my siblings and I (with significant others 22). I searched for many months to find a house that would accommodate us comfortably...the Sand and Surf was it!! From its large efficient kitchen that allowed us to prepare meals together, to the incredible front porch overlooking the ocean, the house had everything we needed. Easy walk to the beach or downtown shopping and close to the famous lighthouse and ice cream shop. Making the arrangements for the rental was made easy with Ed's help (the owner) and the immaculately clean environment made possible by the very pleasant Tina (the manager). We have stayed at several large houses over the past few years, the Sand and Surf was a great venue, comfortable, clean, convenient, and what a view! Thanks Ed look forward to doing busy with you again. ##### Richard M.

The house is beautifully decorated, lots of room and has a wonderful porch overlooking the water. We will definitely be back! ##### Janet C.

The view from the front porch is breathtaking. Off to the right you can watch the sun rise over the ocean (which I did every morning from my bed, just looking out the window) and to the left you can watch the most amazing sunsets over the beach and town. It is a short and easy walk into town to enjoy the many wonderful restaurants, ice cream parlors and of course the daily stop at the arcade for the kids. We had family members ranging from kids to grandparents and we loved that there were things for everyone to enjoy. The house itself is beautiful as well. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and the best ocean view location in town to eat your meal is your own front porch! The house was spotless! None of us wanted to leave! We can't wait to return to the Sand & Surf next year! ##### Henry S.

Location, location, location, it was perfect. We sat on the porch and looked out at the ocean. The beach and downtown are just a short walk. The house was lovely with plenty of room for the young kids (9) and adults (9). We can't wait for next years vacation. Topsfield, Ma. ##### HELEN M. ---
