The Briars is a 19th century shingle style “cottage” located in the heart of York Harbor, Maine and a short five minute walk to the beach. Listen to the fishing boats as they depart the Harbor each morning, smell the salty air and feel the gentle ocean breeze. The home has been entertaining guests for over a century, most recently as a bed-and-breakfast for the past 30 years. You’ll have plenty of room for gathering with family and friends including lots of space for lounging on one of the many porches/decks. Some of the rooms offer views of the harbor where time will slowly pass as you watch the boats come and go. 8 bedrooms with 7 bathrooms means plenty of room for the whole family without long wait times to take a shower! The charming home was renovated to include 5 new bathrooms (the other two of seven are already modern) and new furnishings to ensure you have a very comfortable stay. We offer one of the best per room/per night fees or per person/per night of any large rental in York Harbor. Our home is in an ideal spot to enjoy the sought after environs of York Harbor. Guests can easily walk to the Harbor Beach known for its family friendly atmosphere. The Cliff Walk starts at the Harbor Beach and offers spectacular views of the rocky Maine coast and stunning Victorian mansions. The Hartley Mason estate is a beautiful public park overlooking the Harbor Beach with flower gardens and plenty of shade from the summer sun. Moulton Park is two doors down the street from us with a fantastic space for any outdoor activity with lots of sun and shade. The Fisherman’s Walk is steps away where you stroll along the river and enjoy views of the boats coming in and out of the harbor – including lobsterman with their fresh catch of the day. Fisherman’s walk brings you to the Wiggly Bridge-Steadman Woods where you can take a loop through the forest or continue walking to the historic York Village. York Village (less than five minutes away by car in case you lost track of how long you’ve been walking) was settled in 1624 (3 years after Plymouth Plantation!) and offers a rich array of historical buildings (e.g Old Gaol – one of the oldest jails in America; a one room school house; Jefferds Tavern; The Old Burying Ground featuring 18th-19th century carved tombstones; and the John Hancock Warehouse etc.). The Harbor is rich in culture and fine dining. The York Art Association is located a few houses down the street from us. George Marshall store gallery is located through the Steadman Woods and has a series of art exhibits during the year (the curator lives down the street from our house). There are other small galleries and shops in the Village. York Harbor Inn, Stage Neck Inn, and Chapman Cottage each offer award winning dining and are all a five minute walk from our home. The Dockside Restaurant is located across the harbor (five minute drive away) and is a great spot to view the marina and have a great meal. The marina offers boat and kayak rentals for those wishing to experience some “ocean” culture. The York area and surrounding towns offer a never ending list of things to do. Visit lighthouses. Go whale watching. Explore forts and historical sights. Enjoy the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Hike Mt. Agamenticus for breathtaking views of the ocean to the east and forest/mountains to the west (you can also drive to the top if you are feeling lazy and visit the nature exhibit in the old ski lodge). Shop at the Kittery Outlets (save this for those rainy days). Visit the York Beach boardwalk with an amusement park, bowling, arcade, shops, live entertainment, salt water taffy and more. Hiking-Biking-Boating-Sunbathing…or just reading a book in the many nooks of our beautiful home. You will love the relaxed pace of Maine. There is a reason our state motto is "Maine, the way life should be". Looking to accommodate an even bigger group? We also have a 10 bedroom/8 bathroom property that is close by. We have a six bedroom home that we offer only very selectively that is in between the other two properties. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 8 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 7 shared bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a river ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Kayak - Tennis - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 5,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33560000/33551200/33551138/3c34d17e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous home: walk to beach, harbor, cliff walk, wiggly bridge, dining etc. York Harbor - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 142 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-07&endDate=2025-11-08&selected=33551138&PinnedHotelID=33551138&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33950000/33947100/33947095/54474074.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### GREAT FOR FAMILY REUNIONS!

There was plenty of room to be, both inside and out. Loved all the bedrooms & bathrooms options.Had a good amount of things for the kiddos, from a pack n play to a room full of toys and beach toys.Close to the beach and town, although town was small. ##### Ellen K.

Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had an amazing long weekend staying at The Briars! We were a large group of four families with many kids between us and the house was perfect for accommodating all the space we needed. It was so charming and had all sorts of features that enhanced our experience, such as the well stocked playroom and plenty of beach gear. The location was perfect! Short walk to the beach and several walking paths kept the kids busy and made life easy. Lance was an excellent host and was available for any help we needed or suggestions for things to incorporate into our trip. We loved our time in York and will certainly be back to The Briars again!! ##### Kristine R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney P.

A group of 9 girls and I stayed at Lance’s property this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From Lance’s willingness to provide expert recommendations about activities in the area and where to eat etc., his thorough communication about everything we needed to know about the property, and the amazing property itself - I couldn’t recommend staying here more. Lance provided many thoughtful touches and even dropped off a bottle of wine and an amazing pie, we all commented how rare this type of hospitality is when renting homes these days! The house was immaculately clean and comfortable with plenty of space for 10 girls to spread out. The neighborhood was beautiful, we were able to walk to the beach and were just a quick drive to some delicious restaurants. Our group couldn’t say enough great things about the house, and we’re already discussing future opportunities to return! ##### Courtney P.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica R. Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy First off, this house and location are incredible. It’s centrally located to multiple walking paths, the beach, restaurants, shopping, you name it. Second, Lance (the host) was phenomenal. He was very detailed and super friendly. He provided information on the area and the house, including giving us a gift of wine and giftcard to the local ice cream shop (which was superb). He went above and beyond what a host should need to do but it made our experience that much better. One downfall was the heat - the house is very hot, especially on the third floor but there were fans and AC units that we could install and put around which made it a lot more comfortable. Don’t let this deter you from the property because it’s truly a gem!! We would absolutely go there again and if Lance has any other properties, he would be our go-to host. He was THAT good. Highly, highly recommend! ##### Jessica R. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maureen Y.

Plenty of nice bedrooms and living spaces. The area was great - lots of places to walk. It was November, but a few of our group were daring and jumped in the ocean which was a quick walk away. The owner was very responsive. We had a minor issue (couldn't figure out how to turn on the porch light) which I messaged him about. He showed up in person at the house right away.

We could all pack into the front room to watch football at night. We enjoyed time on the front porch and also on the little roof deck. There are a bunch of Adirondack chairs out back so we could sit in the sun and chat during the day. We could walk to Foster's and The Ship's Cellar for dinner. The walking path down by the water was also fantastic. We wish this was our permanent home! ##### Lisa A. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia V.

This home was perfectly situated to afford all these opportunities AND family/friend bonds were fermented here. ##### Alicia V. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madison S.

The location and size of the house was perfect. We had a bunch of people stay there and never felt like we were running into each other. The house was very clean, spacious and plenty of parking. We would rent this property again in a heartbeat! ##### Madison S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenny D.

Tons of space for relaxing, cozying up with friends, and simply unwinding. Easy walk/drive to local attractions. We rented this home for a leadership conference and were so impressed with it! Excellent work by the owners to keep it clean and functional!! ##### Kenny D. ### 8/10 Good #### Geoff P.

It was perfect for the entire family to have plenty of space to spread out in the common areas. Each couple had their own private bedroom and some even their own bathroom. It was perfect for the 16 adults and 3 children staying here. Great location. Walking distance to York Harbor Inn, and conveniently located a short drive from all York has to offer. ##### Geoff P.
