    Lovely anniversary trip to York Beach…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    We so enjoyed our stay at Dee's condo in Short Sands. The condo was lovely and charming--squeaky clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location was ideal--steps away from all the shops and the beach. Dee was so gracious, providing a long list of recommendations (and places to avoid!) It was the perfect getaway for our anniversary!…
