Oceanfront Home w/ Semi-Private Beach • Sleeps 12

We have been traveling to York Beach for 16 years and this was our favorite accommodations yet. It was the perfect size for our large family, and in the perfect location. The house had everything (and more) that we needed for an incredible week! We look forward to returning

My husband and I enjoyed the most spectacular stay at The Tidepools. The weather was perfect. Highlights were the views, the most amazing sunrises, privacy, cleanliness of the home which was very well appointed, proximity to Short Sands and treasure hunting in the tide pools. We couldn't have asked for more. Communication (or lack thereof) with hosts can often make or break a stay. Franny and Luke were extremely responsive. Many thanks to the team for their collective efforts!Judy and Jim (NH)

Words cannot express how perfect our stay was in York. We could not have picked a better place. The home was exquisite. Honestly breathtaking views, sunrises and sunsets. There was so much room and everything we could have needed was available in the home. The hosts were incredible and we were truly wowed. If you have the opportunity to book, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it.

By far our favorite rental in over a decade of Airbnb/VRBO travel. The photos don't do it justice: waking up to waves splashing on the rocks and ocean views from nearly every window made this place feel like a private haven. We never wanted to leave.We stayed with two other families (all with elementary-aged kids), and the layout was perfect for a group. The bunk room was a huge hit and gave adults a chance to actually relax and talk. Little touches made a big difference: Legos, art mats to protect the counters, and a low drawer of kid-friendly dishes.The kitchen was gorgeous and incredibly functional, fully stocked, with two dishwashers (a lifesaver with three families!) and a double island with room to prep food while kids colored nearby. Plenty of seating too, which is hard to find.With this many people, having two washers/dryers (plus a hanging rack) was so helpful, and beach towels were ready for our walk to the sandy beach. The nearby beach town was charming, with ice cream, shops, and an arcade, and the outdoor shower let us rinse off sandy kids before heading inside.Every detail, plus the incredible location, made this our all-time favorite rental. We're already dreaming up our next trip back!

Very beautiful! Kitchen is a dream, literally has everything! Lots of stairs but sturdy railings which are important to me as a disabled woman. Stair treads are average and pretty easy. Bathrooms were a breeze for anyone with mobility issues. I was surprised at the size of the home! 4 floors including the basement. Kids had a great time - so did the rest of the family. Thank you for having us!

House is spacious and amazingly furnished. Our three generations of 12 family members enjoyed a perfects week in spite of a couple of days with a little rain.Exploring the Tidepools and observing tides ebb and flood provided constantly changing views.Host was easily accessible by text. We didn’t need to contact her but she contacted us and followed up to ensure all was well.Location is very convenient to restaurants, activities, and beaches.

Our stay in York way exceeded expectations! The house is perfect for a large family gathering and is in beautiful condition. It’s stocked with anything you could possibly think of needing. Set back from the tide pool, perfect for children to explore. And walking distance to Short Sands Beach. A perfect setting and highly recommended. Extremely responsive and friendly hosts.

We could not have been happier with our stay. We can’t wait to stay again at this property. House is absolutely gorgeous. Everything is so well thought out and almost anything you could need is provided. The house is stunning and brand new. I have never stayed in a cleaner Airbnb. The private beach is stunning and location could not be better! The whole house was so calming and a perfect trip

We had a truly wonderful stay at The Tidepools. Our group, which included three generations, enjoyed the beautifully decorated social spaces, incredibly well stocked kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. The spotless, stylish interior was surpassed only by the gorgeous surroundings, including the back yard beach and many stunning spots just a walk or short drive away. Franny and Luke were the consummate hosts, who made sure we had everything we could possibly need and were super responsive. Thank you for a memorable stay — we hope to be back!

Franny is the Sweetest person and an Amazing Host! She is super responsive. Literally got back to me inside of a minute every time I asked a question. She also prepared and delivered an incredible gift basket for our anniversary which was totally unexpected and such a thoughtful touch. This is our second stay in her properties and both were equally amazing so I know its not a fluke. We will absolutely return to stay at both places again in the future. Superb ABNB Experience!
