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.

There were 15 of us, from age 10 to 82 and it was spectacular. Time to be with family members in an environment of peaceful settings and outstanding views can easily be achieved in this gorgeous home. We are looking forward to returning next year.

Magnificent views in York
Our family stayed at Steve and Desni’s place in York for a week this summer. The home was exactly as described and the pictures didn’t do justice to the views and the thoughtful layout of this home. The three primary bedrooms on the second floor share a sitting area with coffee station, laundry and mini fridge. There is also a balcony. It was a perfect retreat for the 3 couples to start their day away from the rush of teens and kids in our family. The first floor bedroom was perfect for the guest who brought his dog. On the topic of pets, the home had a great fenced side yard so we never worried about him getting lost. It is rare to have a house of this caliber that accepts pets, and even more rare to have a house that accepts pets be as clean as this one was! You would never know he was there. The location of the house is perfect - a short walk to the action of Short Sands Beach or a longer walk to Long Sands Beach. We enjoyed both places throughout our stay, in addition to side trips up and down the stunning Maine coast. I’d highly recommend this home for families or groups of families.

Stunning!
Upon arrival, the mood is set for the week. Amazing views, large rooms, lots of outdoor seating and firewood at the fire pit, plenty of bath and pool towels, and first day provisions of soap and shampoo are included as well. There was also plenty of paper towels, toilet paper and even detergent for laundry and dishwashing. Everyone in my family of 15 had an amazing time in York Beach at this beautifully located home.

Perfect wedding venue and weekend
The house absolutely blew us away as we entered for the first time, it’s even better and bigger in person!! And the views actually took our breath away. We had a couple minor issues but hosts were very easy to communicate with and resolve immediately. We had our wedding here and hosted about half our guests at the house and everyone fell in love with it. It made for the perfect backdrop for our big day(s). Hosts were also very helpful leading up to our stay with all of our questions and had helpful suggestions. Wish we could come back immediately!

Winter fun!
Perfect for a large group. Stunning views, massive bedrooms, so many bathrooms! Loved this property. Perfect for a winter stay since there’s so much space you don’t need to go out too much. Only problem was the firewood isn’t covered, so when it rained on Friday we couldn’t use the fire pit Saturday, so move some aside if you see rain in your forecast!
