Wonderful stay! The room was perfect for our family. We stayed in the suite and had a view of the ocean. Very clean and recently updated. Staff was very friendly and the little store had what we needed. We’ve stayed in Maine many times. Will definitely return to this hotel! Highly recommend

Across the street from a great section of the beach- staff here were fantastic. Little hiccup with the reservation through expedia, but it got sorted right out with no stress. Rooms are clean, bed was suoer comfortable, and honestly of all things the shower was a family favorite! Will absolutely book here anytime we come to York again in the future!

Location is perfect, the view is everything. Our 1 bedroom was very spacious and modern. I wish there was a mirror other than just in the bathroom. I stayed with my husband and our kids age 3,9,11. Everyone enjoyed their time. Definitely eat at sun and surf. Highly recommend, will be returning next year!

This was my first time in York Maine. There were a lot of hotels/motels and took my shot with Ocean Sand. It looks like the rooms were renovated and it was nice! The staff were very nice and helpful! Would definitely stay there again. Only struggle we had was parking, but it was the Fourth of July weekend. So definitely the reason it was busy!

We had a really good stay here with our pet. The place was clean and had all the amenities for a good stay. There was a food truck and an ice cream truck on the premise as they have no restaurant. The trucks were very pricey for the food served to us though it was tasty.The best part was that the beach was right in front and it was a beautiful beach. the water was amazing and dogs are allowed in the morning and in the evening. We had a blast and will probably go every year.

We stayed for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July. Can’t beat the location, directly across from the south side of Long Sands beach… nice seasonal outdoor pool, and green space with food and ice cream trucks. Also a small Starbucks in the office which made morning coffee runs extremely convenient and delicious! We even walked 1.5 miles to and from Short Sands beach for fireworks and candy/taffee. All around an excellent stay with our two little kids (2.5 and 1). Would definitely recommend for young families, especially if you’re looking for convenience.

The hotel was lovely, the room was beautiful the front office staff was very sweet and helpful Loved the pool The only flaw was 1 which was a glitch crap happens and they fixed it immediately but we had no hot water the first full day of being there, and the elevator went down for our entire stay thankfully only on the 2nd floor Bigger issue was the parking, no other way to put it it sucked but we made due Definitely would stay again but not over a holiday

Place looks like it opened to early, they still setting the place up. Our first room the door did not close properly, it would not lock. We moved to another room and the keys did not work, had to wait for Manager to try and fix the sensors on the door lock. It still took 15-20 swipes for key to open. 3rd night we had a dam dog barking for most of the night, we got no sleep. Only good thing was the staff was extremely helpful and tried to fix everything thing, I think they are facing an uphill battle as this place needs work.

place is still under heavy construction, room was not ready until 5 and i had to follow up she forgot to text me when it was ready. there were construction items and random furniture on our balcony. the small indoor couch was absolutely covered in dog hair, no way we could sit on it. the pool gates were locked every morning and we needed to remind the staff, with a response each time "oh yeah let me unlock the. the rates were higher than comparable places near by. the parking was lousy due to construction trailer and other work trucks. no full length mirror in our room and i paid extra for a deluxe suite but was far from deluxe. the room was new and clean so was the pool, but these two factors are why i gave 2 stars vs 1 or no stars. i may email the owner and debating a claim to the BBB

We recently stayed here and overall had a very positive experience. The rooms have been recently renovated, and the upgrades are beautiful. The space felt modern, clean, and fresh. While there was still quite a bit of construction happening around the property, it did not disrupt our stay at all. One thing we really appreciated was being allowed to park onsite before check-in. That gave us the opportunity to spend the entire day exploring the area without worrying about parking. When we arrived at our room, housekeeping was still finishing up. The team was extremely apologetic and worked quickly to get everything ready for us. We appreciated their professionalism and friendly attitude. Our only disappointment was the balcony upgrade. We paid extra for an ocean-view balcony, but the view was primarily of the parking lot, and we would have needed to lean over the railing to see the water. That said, the beach is literally right across the street, so you’re never far from the ocean. My recommendation: save your money and skip the balcony upgrade. One final tip: make sure you eat at Wharf 24, the food truck onsite. The food was absolutely amazing and ended up being one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, a great location, comfortable updated rooms, and a team that genuinely cares about guest experience.
