Beautiful home. Can’t say enough about the location and cleanliness of this house. We went off season early May so can’t say it was busy but love the beach views and open large first floor for hanging out and having meals with friends. Pretty much everything you need is there.

This was our first stay at The Pioneer on York Beach, and it was perfect for our family. There was plenty of room for the adults and our 7 grandchildren, and everyone had a great time. Much of our time was spent on the beach each day, which was just a short walk from the house. We’ve stayed at 4 different GVC properties for the past 5 years, and each one has been excellent - they all have a consistent feel and provide all the necessary amenities for a wonderful experience. The Game room was a special space, providing a separate area to enjoy game time. Our hosts from GVC were easy to work with and accessible as needed.

Brought back childhood memories!

We have just returned from a week at York Beach and enjoyed every minute of our vacation .. there were 11 of us ranging from 6 years to 76 years ! Location cannot be beat .. short drive to Nubble lighthouse, Fox’s, Dunne’s ice cream, or short walk to the Goldenrod, Wicked Good Ice Cream, the Fun o Rama, bowling , shops and restaurants ! Easy access to beach … a beach wagon is available for guest use… beds were comfortable .. house was immaculately clean.. plenty of towels and beach towels …views are amazing and I miss the view while enjoying my morning coffee ! We hope to return again ! I used to go to York Beach with my grandparents and I’m glad I could introduce my boys, their wives and my grandchildren to a place that is so special to me ! Be sure to check out Anthony’s on route 1 for great pizza/ sandwiches / Italian dishes to go… nice Hannafords nearby and Stonewall kitchen is a short drive !

Our May Vacay

This was our third year renting this house. Once again, it did not disappoint! Communication with the owners was easy. They were very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. It was a pleasure dealing with them. The ocean view from the first floor (and deck) is spectacular! The house is spacious, comfortable, and well maintained. The bonus game room was a plus to have for down time or chilly nights/mornings. Looking forward to a return stay!

New Year’s Vacation

Our stay was wonderful! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the items needed for cooking, bathing, etc. My only comment from people in our group was the WiFi was not strong enough to support all of our devices and some of the mattresses were not comfortable and should be replaced.
