Family vacation

The kitchen was perfect for our family cooking competition and the downstairs gaming area was enjoyed by all. The view was amazing not only during the day but also in the evenings at the firepit as we watched the sunset. We had 8 adults and 4 kids under 8 all rated your home a 10!

Spectacular views and perfect location for large family getaway

Stayed in Maine for a family wedding and we rented this house for the stay. The views are unmatched. House is nice and large to fit multiple families comfortably. Easy walk to town and Nebble Light makes the house a great location. We had a wonderful weekend and didn’t want to leave the views!

Family Getaway

We enjoyed staying at this property for a long weekend with our families. The property was large enough for all couples to have their own bedroom with a bathroom which made it comfortable for everyone. The property was close to downtown (about a mile walk) which was enjoyable for us to not have to drive. The outdoor views and amenities were fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Absolutely stunning place

The house was amazing in so many ways. It was large enough for a big family gathering; there were a multitude of places to find a quiet place if needed; the outdoor seating options were varied; the kitchen was well stocked and plenty of seating for everyone; the ADA bedroom makes it so much easier with elderly members; the location to beaches and the Nubble lighthouse were just a short walk, etc etc! We had a fabulous time and super comfortable stay and would highly recommend this property.

Stunning home!

We rented this home for a long weekend with our family of 14 ranging in age from 1-60. This home had everything we could possibly need. Breathtaking views from every window, cleanliness throughout, any kitchen item we looked for, they had & lots of thoughtful extras throughout the home. We rent upscale family vacation homes around the US every year and this was one of our favorites and wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again. Thank you!

This was the second time I brought a group of clients to this wonderful property. The house is fabulous and the setting, looking out over vast expanses of water and sky is incredibly beautiful and inspiring. We were all super-comfortable and happy! And we had wonderful spaces for this to be a powerful week of self-discovery and fun.

Beautiful House

This house was the perfect spot for our friends gathering. The views are breathtaking! The amount of space was incredible! The house was big enough to not feel cramped and if you needed space from others you were able to find it in a heartbeat. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked. Very impressed with the amount of items offered in the kitchen as well. From pots, strainers, wine key, even different flavored tea and coffee! This house is going to be a top choice for us from now on. Thanks for such a pleasant experience.

New Yorkers - we had a great stay!

Thank you Desni & Steve. This was our second stay at Paradise In York and the name remains accurate. The area, the coast, the property, the house - are awesome. We loved cooking and communing in the open kitchen/dining area, playing music by the fire, walking the coast and beach, etc. Bedrooms/baths were all great, clean and well supplied. The only minor comment is that several guests found their beds a bit soft. All in all we all loved it and highly recommend your place to folks looking to taste a nice slice of coastal Maine. Cheers, John, Mary Beth & family/friends

Stunning property

This property was stunning. From the many, many windows looking onto the water crashing on the rocks below to the well appointed bedrooms, baths and kitchen, everything was top notch. I would say that the listing didnt specify everything that was provided from paper goods (tp, paper towels, garbage bags) to shampoo, conditioner and soap and all of that was a delightful surprise. We had a wonderful time.

Wedding weekend

We had such a memorable weekend staying at Steve and Desni’s home! We had our newly blended family under one roof to celebrate our marriage. The entire group consisted of 5 couples and 5 children( ages 18 months-14 years old!) There was a beautiful room for everyone! King sized beds with private baths. We had fun hanging out and ordered pizza from Anthony’s on Friday night, had Nancy’s Catering provide our “rehearsal dinner” on Saturday. We utilized all floors, the pool, the jacuzzi and game room! Our actual wedding took place at the York Golf and Tennis Club.We had a make up artist come in to the home and loved all the natural light! We highly recommend renting this property! So perfect for large groups/family.
