We stayed for two nights in August and we booked it last minute. We had a great time. The pool is great and our room was directly accross from the beach. We had a great time and our kids could walk everywhere. Staff was also very friendly an accomodating. Next summer we are going to stay for a week. more

Stayed in the 2 bedroom suite - sweet!! Very modern and vey clean. Great view from sliding doors onto large balcony - town, ocean etc. Do not need your car for anything - you are literally downtown - but in a beautiful suite above a convenience store. Teens love it because they can walk around town or across the street... more

This motel is directly across the street from Short Sands Beach, you can't beat the location! All of the staff were extremly friendly and made our stay even better. The room was extremely clean, but it is obviously and old motel. The hangers in the closet were crappy old wire hangers, so that could be improved. Be prepared because this... more

I stayed at Sands by the Sea in July with my husband and 26 month old.

This is a great spot to stay with teens. The location is so convenient, they can go off on thier own without us worrying. We just park the car and walk everywhere. Relaxing by the pool is perfect after a long day on the beach!! more

The staff is amazing. The hotel is perfect location for all activities. We parked our car and only got in it a week later to leave. My two boys wanted Sands by the Sea over Disney this year. The room types vary, but are all very clean. I have been coming here for over 30 years. I went every summer... more

We traveled to York from NH on annual summer trip with our grandkids. The staff at the Sands couldn't have been more helpful.
