Listen to the fishing boats as they depart the Harbor each morning, smell the salty air and feel the gentle ocean breeze. The home was originally built as a guest house (Varrell House -- Annex) in the early 20 Century and served as a Bed & Breakfast (Canterbury House) in the latter part of the 20th Century. You’ll have plenty of room for gathering with family and friends -- including a newly renovated kitchen (winter 2017-18) - two large sitting areas, a new (2021) and large front porch and a new lawn with gas fire pit shaded by gorgeous old trees. Some of the rooms and grounds offer partial views of the harbor where time will slowly pass as you watch the boats come and go. 10 bedrooms with 7 bathrooms means plenty of room for the whole family without long wait times to take a shower! The charming home was renovated a few years ago to include a new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms and brand new furnishings to ensure you have a very comfortable stay. We offer one of the best per room/per night fees or per person/per night of any large rental in York Harbor. We also have a "sister" property - The Briars at Homeaway - #4035882 that is just a few doors away. Both have a long history of exceptional reviews. Our home is in an ideal spot to enjoy the sought after environs of York Harbor. Guests can easily walk to the Harbor Beach known for its family friendly atmosphere. The Cliff Walk starts at the Harbor Beach and offers spectacular views of the rocky Maine coast and stunning Victorian mansions. The Hartley Mason estate is a beautiful public park overlooking the Harbor Beach with flower gardens and plenty of shade from the summer sun. Moulton Park is 2 minutes down the street from us with a fantastic space for any outdoor activity with lots of sun and shade. The Fisherman’s Walk is steps away where you stroll along the river and enjoy views of the boats coming in and out of the harbor – including lobsterman with their fresh catch of the day. Fisherman’s walk brings you to the Wiggly Bridge-Steadman Woods where you can take a loop through the forest or continue walking to the historic York Village. York Village (less than five minutes away by car in case you lost track of how long you’ve been walking) was settled in 1624 (3 years after Plymouth Plantation!) and offers a rich array of historical buildings (e.g Old Gaol – one of the oldest jails in America; a one room school house; Jefferds Tavern; The Old Burying Ground featuring 18th-19th century carved tombstones; and the John Hancock Warehouse etc.). The Harbor is rich in culture and fine dining. The York Art Association is located a few houses down the street from us. George Marshall store gallery is located through the Steadman Woods and has a series of art exhibits during the year (the curator lives down the street from our house). There are other small galleries and shops in the Village. York Harbor Inn, Stage Neck Inn, and Chapman Cottage each offer award winning dining and are all a five minute walk from our home. The Dockside Restaurant is located across the harbor (five minute drive away) and is a great spot to view the marina and have a great meal. The marina offers boat and kayak rentals for those wishing to experience some “ocean” culture. The York area and surrounding towns offer a never ending list of things to do. Visit lighthouses. Go whale watching. Explore forts and historical sights. Enjoy the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Hike Mt. Agamenticus for breathtaking views of the ocean to the east and forest/mountains to the west (you can also drive to the top if you are feeling lazy and visit the nature exhibit in the old ski lodge). Shop at the Kittery Outlets (save this for those rainy days). Visit the York Beach boardwalk with an amusement park, bowling, arcade, shops, live entertainment, salt water taffy and more. Hiking-Biking-Boating-Sunbathing…or just reading a book in the many nooks of our beautiful home. You will love the relaxed pace of Maine. There is a reason our state motto is "Maine, the way life should be". Looking to accommodate an even bigger group? Ask us about The Briars, our 8 bedroom home, located just a few doors away -- homeaway # 4035882\. We also have a third property, with 6 bedrooms in very close proximity. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 10 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 7 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Tennis - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 7,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Breakfast and dinner served](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9320000/9317700/9317652/68fa4886.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Anchorage Inn and Resort York Beach - Pool - Hot tub - Kids’ pool - Water slide 8.8 Excellent 1,065 reviews £79 includes taxes & fees 17 Feb - 18 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-17&endDate=2026-02-18&selected=9317652&PinnedHotelID=9317652&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Breakfast, lunch, dinner served;

It ha s a great playground, basketball courts, and a boardwalk with an arcade, restaurants, and shops. The beach there is wonderful!! The house itself is great. Lots of space! The fire pit area outside is very nice but I will say the 9pm quiet rule is a little early when on vacation.10pm would be a little more reasonable but we made it work. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you would need. Lance provides you with honestly everything... baby gates, high chairs, board games, yard games, beach towels, beach toys, coolers, wagons, beach chairs etc...He really is a wonderful host!

We had a great trip to York! The house was in an amazing location very convenient to the beach and had plenty of bedrooms to fit a large family. The backyard is amazing and there’s plenty of parking in the back of the house. The check in process was easy and the checkout process was clear. We had a lot of memorable nighttime hangouts on the porch! Thanks for a great time! ##### Casey W.

Short walking distance to the beach and other attractions in York. The house has plenty of room and Lance (the home owner) is easy to work with and very responsive. ##### William H.

So much was provided for us and Lance was always available to answer questions as needed. He even stopped by to make sure all was well! To say this area in Maine is beautiful seems trite as it is more than that with great beaches,stores and restaurants.The Varrell House is certainly a wonderful place to stay. Thanks Lance. Looking forward to more stays. ##### Daniel/Patricia W.

I recently spent a long weekend at this beautiful home with a group of friends from high school and college. We have rented many homes over the years and this is one of the nicest. The house is super clean, well equipped, and the location is perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in York and would return in a heartbeat. And Lance is the best host ever! He is so kind and accommodating, and even personally delivered a delicious pie one morning. Thank you, Lance, for a wonderful weekend! ##### Michelle S.

Had an amazing stay here!! Could not have asked for a better house for a perfect Labor Day weekend! Plenty of beds, great size living room, kitchen and outdoor space. Perfect location! Not far from Portsmouth if you’re looking to go out down town. We were able to walk to the beach right across the way and really appreciated provided beach chairs and towels! We walked to the ice cream place down the street which was delicious! Truly amazing house, would definitely recommend! Thank you for helping make our weekend perfect!! ##### Hannah L.

The house had plenty of space for our 4 different families, even with children aged 1 through 16\. The internet and cell service did make it difficult for those who needed to connect for work calls and zoom meetings. But overall, we had plenty to do and see to keep everyone entertained. Thank you to Lance for great communication and for making us feel welcome! ##### Susan L.

The home is the perfect place for a group… lots of places to gather together! Loved sitting on the front porch, or relaxing on the comfy couches! Great location, walking distance to everything, and the owner has thought of everything to make your stay easy and comfortable, even supplying lots of beach chairs, towels and cooler! We were too busy to use the backyard, but would have if we had more time! The owner also went out of his way offering wonderful local recommendations, and was always available if we had questions or needed help!! Best house, best owner! ##### Michele M.

The house is big with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Lance, our host was so easy to communicate with. Leading up to the stay, he would respond to a message on the app in minutes. The kitchen was big and easy to use. The dining table fit almost our entire group of 18\. Lazy mornings on the porch. Great walks from the house. There is also a ton of beach equipment in the garage for us to use. We plan to return next summer. ##### John S.

This was our first stay in York ME and we found a great house! Lots of space for everyone, nice sized kitchen and a big front porch for morning coffee or tea. We had a couple of people that needed to do a bit of remote work and they had no problem finding quiet spaces for calls and focus. My brother especially enjoyed working from the front porch and moved with the sun throughout the day - not a bad way to work! Our host was terrific, very knowledgable of the area and shared so many ideas for fun things to do. Beautiful, peaceful beach, just a quick walk from the house. We had an issue with the refrigerator but our host was on top of it - always available by phone and checked in to make sure everything was ok. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property to a large family!! ##### Cynthia G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ---
