What a fabulous home in a beautiful setting. We loved just sitting in front of the windows and watching the shoreline. The home was perfectly set up and plenty of space for 4 women used to living alone.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house and linens were clean, and the beds were comfortable. Being able to see the Gulf of Maine was lovely, especially enjoying the view with a cup of coffee in the mornings. The house is a bit older and could use a little TLC. Some windows were missing screens and didn’t lock, and the upstairs carpet could use a refresh. I was also surprised there was only one hairdryer for two bathrooms, and the upstairs bathroom could benefit from additional storage given it services three bedrooms. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but given the price we paid, we expected a little more attention to detail.

Wonderful house in York Beach. Walkable to short sands and the local shops and restaurants, Nubble lighthouse etc. wonderful comfy beds, great showers, effective air conditioning. Honestly couldn’t fault it. We had the absolute best week here. Thank you!

Franny is an excellent, kind, and responsive host. She recognized potential issue and proactively reached out to address it, though it ended up not being a big issue after all. The space was clean and the views were lovely. We stayed as a family of 6, and everyone had fun. The house is in a quieter part of broadway, so we could walk to Dunne’s for ice cream and ate dinner at the Auk. It was so accessible to long sands, and we ended up preferring it there since short sands is very crowded. We were comfortable and had what we needed. Thank you!

Beautiful home. The beds are very comfortable but my 87 year old mother-in-law had trouble getting into bed because of the height. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. We look forward to returning next year.

Great house, with an amazing view. The kitchen was fully stocked and we had everything we needed. Plenty of room for our family. Amazing views from both floors, and you can hear the waves when the windows are open. Short walk to the Nubble light house. Amazing stay, would recommend.

Fully enjoyed our multi-generational family stay. The location was great - just a short walk to Short Sands Beach. If you walk the other way, you get to Dunne's for ice cream. And the house has lots of beach chairs!

We loved our stay at Grand Welcome York! It was cost effective (instead of getting a bunch of hotel rooms) and a great place to all gather together. The view was amazing! The house was in great condition and everything listed was as is… just a wonderful home that is worth it! The hosts were super helpful and communicated right away with all the information and anything we needed. Highly recommend this home!

This place is a gem! Exactly like their descriptions and photos, stunning ocean views from both upstairs and downstairs ocean windows, lots of space for large groups/families to be together as well as space of their own. Relaxing for the adults and plenty of fun things for kiddos as well. You can’t beat being a few steps from Nubble Lighthouse, Short Sands beach, and Dunne’s Ice cream! The hosts were always communicative, so we really felt their hospitality! Our family will most definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay we were looking for rest and relaxation and this was a perfect place. Enjoying our morning coffee just looking at the view was perfect. The home was very comfortable and clean. Frannie was welcoming and reached out to make sure we were all set.

My goodness we are so happy to have found this place. The home is neat as a pin and the pictures are totally deceiving!! The downstairs bedroom was a must for our older family members. Upstairs the living space is honestly huge and SPACIOUS. The views are lovely. Foxs lobster is .4 miles down the road along with Nubble lighthouse. Such a cute quiet neighborhood. So convenient to long sands and short sands. It was rainy but that didn’t stop us from enjoying this beautiful home. Franny and Luke texted every single day to check in and see if we needed anything. Just a wonderful experience, home, and location. 10/10
