3BR Oceanfront on Nubble Cliffs!

Summary:

With an abundance of coastal charm, miles of sparkling, sandy beaches, and historic landmarks, York has something to offer everyone!



The Space:

When you choose to stay at Shore Thing for your upcoming getaway, you’ll be in an advantageous location to experience all of it, most notably the iconic Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse within a short 15-minute walk. Standing proudly atop a rocky outcrop, this must-see attraction offers picture-perfect moments to capture the glittering sunrise or sunset. The York Village Historic District is home to a number of well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings, including the Old York Gaol, the oldest jail in Maine. For the nature lovers, there are a number of hiking trails in the area, including the Mount Agamenticus Trail which offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Of course, no trip to York would be complete without indulging in the local culinary scene offering everything from fresh seafood to international delights. Back at the home, a spacious deck offers panoramic ocean views, a grill, and outdoor dining set perfect for meals al fresco in the fresh air and abundant sunshine. Your furry friends will enjoy stretching their paws while playing fetch in the yard or going for scenic walks around the peaceful neighborhood. It’s all the very best of New England right at your fingertips!



At the end of long days spent exploring this vast area, the home’s interior is a welcome retreat for relaxing downtime connecting with one another and catching up on the adventures of the day. With three separate sitting areas, spreading out comes naturally whether you’re in the loft catching up on a good book with the ocean breeze swirling around you from the balcony, the main floor living room surfing the channels or enjoying a quiet movie night, or the sunny den surrounded in abundant natural light. The spacious kitchen offers full-sized appliances and ample counterspace and cabinetry for meal preparation and storage. Enjoy your morning coffee in the breakfast nook with table and chairs for 4 or gather for formal meals in the dining room with additional seating for 4. No matter where you roam in this charming home, glittering ocean views will never be far from sight.

For VRBO…The properties we stayed at weren’t run by VRBO. They were managed by some company I never heard of. So when those companies started contacting me with check-in instructions, I thought they were spam. Plus, charges to my card went to these companies instead of VRBO. To make it easier, but would make all communication and transactions go thru the app. When I did chat with owners, I don’t think I was texting a human. Seems like the responses were automated. I don’t think you should allow that.But, the properties were wonderful and the hosts responded quickly. Everything else was very easy.

The master bedroom has numerous dog urine stains on the carpet. Sleeping in the room was almost unbearable for someone sensitive to smells. The screen doors have holes and rips. There is mold and peeling wallpaper in the upstairs bathroom. The garbage disposal was broken. The kitchen appliances are very dated, fridge exterior appeared rusty. The washer and dryer are located in a dark alcove in the garage under the main house, only accessible by exiting the home. The hot water tank failed and flooded the garage while we were there, leaving us with no hot water. The view of Long Sands beach was exceptional, but the house needs significant updates. Hosts were very polite and attentive. The backyard is tiny, which you can't tell from the photos. The aerial views and interior photos are very misleading. I expected a lot more for the price.

Perfect view, location but needs tlc

I rented this home to get away before I have brain surgery. Unfortunately the only week I could get was the same week as school began so my son and family only stayed two days…but it was still great to be together. MST of the time, it was just adults and one French bulldog. Pros: location and views were spectacular 2nd floor master, bath and lounge are were comfortable and clean. House was clean as was towels and bedding. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of glasses, silverware and dishes. They supplied to, paper towels, trash bags and storage bags but I brought extra and did use what I brought. Oy yah soaps too in baths. Cons: this was advertised to sleep 10. Although true most areas are very old and very uncomfortable sofa beds and a futon. There were only three bedrooms. One master upstairs with a king size bed that was comfortable. One bedroom with two twin beds also comfortable on first floor. One queen size bed on the first floor but the bed felt like we were sleeping on a granite slab. All furniture on the first floor was old and very dirty looking….even with covers over it. I guess I expected more. But…I did love walking outside and looking at the ocean. The location was perfect to access beaches, Rt 1 and all the shopping and restaurants, and Nubble Light House.

Beautiful location, just needs a few updates

This property is conveniently set on Nubble Road between Short Sands and Long Sands Beach. The ocean view was beautiful, especially from the 2nd floor deck. Beds were pretty comfortable. Decor, furnishings, maintenance could use some updating. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Enough room for everyone to have their own space. For the price, could use some upgrades in the off-season (old appliances, old furniture, peeling wallpaper in upstairs bathroom, trim the poison sumac trees that block the view of the ocean and are coming up thru the landscaping, purge outdated items in cabinets and closets.)

Great location

The views from the house were spectacular. The neighborhood was quiet and very accessible to the beaches, restaurants and attractions. The house itself was a bit outdated and in need of a few repairs(screen doors and wallpaper). Overall a fun stay with our family.
