Our May Vacay

This was our third year renting this house. Once again, it did not disappoint! Communication with the owners was easy. They were very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. It was a pleasure dealing with them. The ocean view from the first floor (and deck) is spectacular! The house is spacious, comfortable, and well maintained. The bonus game room was a plus to have for down time or chilly nights/mornings. Looking forward to a return stay!

New Year’s Vacation

Our stay was wonderful! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the items needed for cooking, bathing, etc. My only comment from people in our group was the WiFi was not strong enough to support all of our devices and some of the mattresses were not comfortable and should be replaced.

Christmas by the Seaside

The Pioneer gave us the perfect Christmas family reunion location. With people flying in from all over, Logan was a easy trip. The views, the walks, the game room for the kids, and the layout of the house were perfect. We were able to put all the kids upstairs with their parents and the adults were downstairs. The kitchen had everything - every size pot and pan, plenty of dishes and glasses, and supplies that you almost always forget to bring. We had a wonderful 7 days and would love to repeat the experience next year.

On the beach

The house was perfect for our needs. The absolutely wonderful location, right on the beach and walking distance to shops, is ideal. The house was very clean and well organized, and we didn't lack for anything. .We did have difficulty with the wifi one day, but the owners responded right away and the issue was taken care of immediately. I would definitely stay again! ps I found it a bit irritating that we needed to strip the beds and start the towel laundry, especially given that we pay for cleaning services.

Wonderful Home

We really enjoyed staying in this home, perfect location. Would highly recommend. On arrival we did find 4 unlocked windows. 3 downstairs and 1 upstairs. Just something to check. Also the folded extra blanket on the king size bed needed to be washed. There was some sort of stain on it.

September Reunion

We enjoyed the location. We were able to walk along Short Sand Beach to the town. We walked to the nubble Lighthouse, although it is on a busy road so others might choose to drive. We also walked to Long Sand Beach. The kitchen was well stocked. Because we were 6 units the house worked really well for our group.

“Simply the Best”

This beach home has everything you need & then some! The accommodations matched up nicely with our multigenerational family. Bedrooms downstairs for the older folks and a game room for the young and young at heart! The location absolutely can’t be beat! We loved being just a few steps from the beach as well as the arcade, bowling, little shops, and of course ice cream! We also enjoyed listening to the band concerts from the comfort of the side deck. This home is the perfect place for making many fun Maine memories!

Something for everyone

We loved our time spent at this beachfront gem! The location can’t be beat… a short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Great for our teenagers who were always on the move and who took full advantage of the game room, and for my older parents who loved sitting on the deck with their morning coffee enjoying the view. The house was clean and well-appointed… we made good use of the beach chairs, beach towels and lobster pots. Would definitely come back!!

My spouse and 7 adult family members comfortably stayed in this house without feeling on top of each other. The location was perfect. Walking distance to shops, restaurants in York but also incredible views right from the deck. We could not have picked a better house for our family.
