Beautiful home. The beds are very comfortable but my 87 year old mother-in-law had trouble getting into bed because of the height. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 children. We look forward to returning next year.

Great house, with an amazing view. The kitchen was fully stocked and we had everything we needed. Plenty of room for our family. Amazing views from both floors, and you can hear the waves when the windows are open. Short walk to the Nubble light house. Amazing stay, would recommend.

We loved our stay at Grand Welcome York! It was cost effective (instead of getting a bunch of hotel rooms) and a great place to all gather together. The view was amazing! The house was in great condition and everything listed was as is… just a wonderful home that is worth it! The hosts were super helpful and communicated right away with all the information and anything we needed. Highly recommend this home!

This place is a gem! Exactly like their descriptions and photos, stunning ocean views from both upstairs and downstairs ocean windows, lots of space for large groups/families to be together as well as space of their own. Relaxing for the adults and plenty of fun things for kiddos as well. You can’t beat being a few steps from Nubble Lighthouse, Short Sands beach, and Dunne’s Ice cream! The hosts were always communicative, so we really felt their hospitality! Our family will most definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay we were looking for rest and relaxation and this was a perfect place. Enjoying our morning coffee just looking at the view was perfect. The home was very comfortable and clean. Frannie was welcoming and reached out to make sure we were all set.

My goodness we are so happy to have found this place. The home is neat as a pin and the pictures are totally deceiving!! The downstairs bedroom was a must for our older family members. Upstairs the living space is honestly huge and SPACIOUS. The views are lovely. Foxs lobster is .4 miles down the road along with Nubble lighthouse. Such a cute quiet neighborhood. So convenient to long sands and short sands. It was rainy but that didn’t stop us from enjoying this beautiful home. Franny and Luke texted every single day to check in and see if we needed anything. Just a wonderful experience, home, and location. 10/10

Fully enjoyed our multi-generational family stay. The location was great - just a short walk to Short Sands Beach. If you walk the other way, you get to Dunne's for ice cream. And the house has lots of beach chairs!

Management was very helpful and made our stay extremely comfortable. The accommodations were exceptionally clean and included everything you’d need—just like being at home. We had a wonderful time. The area is beautiful, and the views from the house overlook the coast—absolutely stunning!
