Just stayed 4 nights at Ocean Sands Hotel. This is a beautiful spot directly across the street from the beach. The room was clean and well maintained. It was enjoyable going to the beach during the day and then have a swim in their clean pool before getting ready for dinner. There are nearby restaurants in walking distance and many options locally if driving. I highly recommend this hotel.

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!

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!

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!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Good overall, had noisy upstairs neighbors and our deadbolt on the door didn't work. But the place was very clean and the staff was very kind and helpful.

Parking was odd but we figured it out. Nice girl named May checked us in. No cream/sugar left for am coffee. Nice that we got.bottled water left in room. Room was fine but a desk and chair would.have been helpful. Great location!
