Affordable Family Vacation. Walk to Long & Short Sands Beaches

We had a wonderful time in York this summer. We were 6 adults and a 2 year old girl. Everyone couple had their own room and bathroom. Our daughter also had her own room and there was still a room to spare. The house was clean and exactly as described and as seen in the pictures. We liked the eat-in kitchen. We also had meals outside on the picnic table and on the back porch. We loved having access to the laundry facilities which was very convenient with a child. We went to the beach everyday (mostly Long Sands and sometimes Short Sands for the playground). It's a 10 min. walk to Long Sands beach and 8 min. to Short Sands. Sometimes we took to car to the beach so we could bring more stuff with us and stay longer. We went to York's Wild Kingdom which was great for young children. We also liked shopping in the stores around The Goldenrod and at the Kittery Outlets. We enjoyed our visit of the Decorator Show House in York Harbor. We went to the Nubble Light and Brown's for ice cream. The weather wasn't too hot for most of the week. The window fans were used only for our last night in the house. The mattresses were very comfortable and there was good quality bedding and towels (even beach towels) for everyone. The house is good size enough that everyone could go to their room to relax, take a shower or change will the others chatted in the living room, the kitchen or back porch. We definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place for a family to enjoy all the activities of York Beach. The owners were very helpful in the planning of our trip and always replied to our e-mail/phone calls quickly. They are very nice people who obviously take good care of their property. The neighbourhood is extremely quiet which was welcome after an intense day spent at the beach.

We recently stayed at the Seagulls Nest and it was AWESOME!!! The house was very spacious and VERY CLEAN! All the rooms were spotless and well maintained. We enjoyed the three season room in the back of the house and spent most of our time there talking and relaxing. The house is a perfect walking distance to either beach. There was a wagon and beach chairs for us to use, which made it easy to pack lunch/coolers for the beach. We could pack light since the house had a washer and dryer for our use as well. Three bathrooms all with showers made it easy for everyone.
We HIGHLY recommend staying at the Seagulls Nest, it was the best vacation we had in 10 years. We hope to come back soon!

This was a great house. Very clean, well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms were large, and comfortable. It was great to have use of the laundry facilities. We spent great time on the enclosed porch on the one rainy day that we had, and in the evening.
I would definitely recommend this house. Close to both long and short sands beaches.
I like soft pillows, so if that's what you prefer, bring your own, I did.
Owners were extremely accommodating, answering all of our many questions promptly.
