The Pitch
A whole coastal house for the length of your assignment.
York, Maine is one of the most livable towns on the New England coast, and Captain and the Kiwi puts you right in the middle of it. You're minutes from York Hospital, walking distance from Long Sands Beach, and close enough to Portsmouth for a real night out when your shift is done.
This is a whole house, not a studio apartment or a spare bedroom. Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a full kitchen, a private yard, a fire pit, fast Wi-Fi, and a washer and dryer in the unit. Everything you need to decompress between shifts and actually feel settled for the duration of your assignment.

Location
Seven minutes to York Hospital. Ten minutes on foot to Long Sands.

Beyond the commute, York puts you in one of the most restorative settings on the East Coast. Long Sands Beach is a 10-minute walk.

Ogunquit and its art galleries, Marginal Way walking trail, and dining scene are in the same direction.

First-Hand Proof
A home chosen by people who chose York first.
Captain and the Kiwi is owned by a U.S. Army combat veteran and his wife from New Zealand. They first came to York while dating, loved it enough to get married here, and later bought this house so they could return every year with their growing family and build the same kind of coastal memories they wanted guests to have.
The home is not just an investment property on a map. It is a place the owners know personally: the beach walks, the quiet lane, the practical value of real bedrooms and bathrooms, and the difference a full house makes when you are away from home for more than a weekend.
The owners came to York while dating, married here, and now bring their growing family back each year.
Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, laundry, 5 parking spots, and a full kitchen make the house practical beyond a quick weekend.
The home is near Long Sands Beach, about 7 minutes from York Hospital, and about 18 minutes from Portsmouth.
