York Beach Surf Club

"We stayed for one night and it was great for the most. The room was super clean and the location was perfect. There were just a few things that stood out to me. 1. The room didn't look like the photos shown online for the Deluxe 2 Queen Bed, which is not a big deal because it was still nice and clean. It would've just been nice to see pictures of the actual room and layout. 2. The walls were paper thin. We could hear the man next door coughing. 3. $75 pet fee. I wasn't aware that not all rooms were pet friendly. If you have pets, be sure to book a "Fido Friendly" room and don't make the same mistake as I did or you will be charged $75. I just wished that was more clear when booking. 4. There's nothing dividing the room's balcony from the balcony next door which is concerning because the people next door could easily access our balcony if they wanted to."

"We booked this at the start of the summer for Labor Day weekend after seeing it written up in Travel & Leisure (good work, PR team!). I had no idea what to expect as I had not been to York in a long time. This property is a DELIGHT! From the moment we checked in, we felt genuine hospitality. After a long day at work and a long drive - we were welcomed by Taylor - one of the owners - who poured us a much-needed drink and chatted with us. We were put in vacation mode from there on out. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and have everything you need: a mini fridge, coffee maker (although the drip coffee at the coffee bar is SO GOOD!), toiletries including makeup remover wipes, and VERY comfortable pillows. The food & beverage options are perfect - you can get a bite or a drink at almost any time. The cocktails are inventive. The wine list is great. The location for us was perfect. The resort is at the end of Long Sands Beach (south side) and is less chaotic than further north in York. Check the tide as this is not a steep beach, so you have to think of it as going 2x per day -- we went in the am to sit on the beach, left and had lunch, swam in the pool, and then walked the beach as the tide rolled out in the afternoon. It was perfect for us. The pool provides a nice break from the ocean. There are two saltwater pools in one area. It can be a bit of a scene. On one day when I was there, one pool was quieter with couples and friends, and the other had families. The next day, it was like a club... literally something for everyone. I highly recommend a visit to York Surf Club - they know real hospitality, and it was a genuine pleasure to stay there."

"I never leave reviews, EVER. But this was the absolute hotel experience of my life. R.J. from the front desk is RUDE, hangs up on people, and is a liar. “Management” is no better. Glass was shattered all over the pool deck and into the pool and the “managers” did nothing about it. We were told the pool would be closed the following day for cleaning of the glass that was all in the pool. How does that make sense? People and children were allowed to swim and walk on a pool deck that was not cleaned properly. We left immediately. The room was also unfurnished and filthy! We checked out of this motel after being there for 1 hour instead of 4 days later because it was unsafe and unsanitary to be there. I could go on and on. I wish there was an option for zero stars because that’s what they deserve!"

"My husband and I stayed here for a night, and WOW are we impressed! The check-in process was quick and the gentleman helping us was so nice and helpful. He showed us where we can get food, as well as coffee and cocktails, right here on the property! When we got to our room, I was blown away by how pretty it was! The rooms are very modern, and the patios are spacious! We loved that we could see the ocean from our patio! Even the bathroom was beautiful! The beds are SO SO SO comfy. I could have slept all day! I’ve never been so comfortable at any hotel… ever! Although we didn’t try the food, everything looked great. They even have food service at the pool (As well as a bar)!! We cannot wait to come back!! I will be telling everyone about York Beach Surf Club!!"

"My husband and I cannot stop gushing about how much we loved our stay here. I really don't understand most of the negative reviews. Our room was comfortable and clean. We had a great side view of the ocean from our balcony. We climbed up three flights of stairs and didn't complain because we don't need an elevator. The staff was super friendly. We loved hanging by the pool on Saturday! They had the pool bar open and music playing. Everything was so clean..even the poolside bathrooms! We have six kids and this was our first time away from them in two years. It was the perfect atmosphere for us, yet seemed totally family friendly as we saw plenty of parents with their kids. We can't wait to come back here again in the future!"
