I wrote a whole long review on Vacasa's website that you should check out but now I am tired. The point is, there is not a washer/dryer/dishwasher at this house and the kitchen had ants. I wasn't bothered by the ants as it is an older home and they are a pain to get rid of, it was not due to lack of cleanliness. The property management company and Vacasa clearly do not communicate as they left dishwasher tabs even though there isn't a dishwasher? House itself was older but charming with a great outdoor space. Do with this what you will.

Vacasa sucks
property was great - great location, very clean, had all we needed; it has very creaky floors upstairs and only one bathroom in each house - the one in the guest house is in the downstairs room, so the upstairs party has to go into the bedroom downstairs Worst was the management company. They said we could extend the stay or late check out, but I needed to decide 2 days in advance, since we only stayed 3 days, we really had no idea yet. Quite annoying to provide so little flexibility. They clearly had no one staying the day we left.

Fun Trip, Beautiful Beach, Some Cons…
We rented this property for 4 nights in August. There were 4 couples, and 2 kids. Overall we had a wonderful family vacation and enjoyed the beautiful beach! Pros: - Plenty of places to sleep for all of us - Short (lees than 5 min) walk to beach - Beach was beautiful and clean - Water was warm for being in Maine! - Bikes were provided making the trip to the beach even more fun - We spent a lot of time on the deck - The kids LOVED the outdoor shower! - Close to Funtown Splashtown which we did one day that was cool and overcast Cons: - We were only provided enough gas to grill for one night. That was a major bummer. We ended up getting pizza (no delivery we could find) and cooking hot dogs on the stove - There’s really only one bathroom. The second is through a bedroom. So one couple had their own bathroom and the other 3 had to share. - The bedroom on the first floor of the main house hears everything!! Warning if you choose that one! - Based on listing and reviews we thought there would be a corner store, ice cream, and seafood within walking distance. We finally found the corner store on our bikes (not walking distance) but never found ice cream or seafood so assume you’d have to drive - IT WAS HOT! They provide fans but recommend bringing your own as well - No communication or info on check out like what to do with linens or towels - A dryer would have been a plus to dry wet towels and bathing suits! But not necessary

Great for families
This was my first vacation for my young family (two little boys 2 and under) and it was absolutely perfect. The separate cottage was great for my husband's family to stay in and have some privacy and the yard was perfect for my 2 year old to run around in. I loved the neighborhood, it was walking distance to the beach and in such a beautiful area. While the house doesn't have AC, we didn't miss it, the owner had fans available and we found it very comfortable. We will book again!

Great Get Away
We enjoyed our long weekend at Y Go By. A little further from the beach than we usually stay, but still a reasonable walk. House had plenty of space for 3 generations. The fans in the home kept us comfortable during the heat wave. Just a few tweaks would make the home perfect. It really needs more coat hangers. 10 for a house that sleeps 12 was not adequate. Also the first floor bedroom in the main house would benefit form window shades. The light from sign on the housing complex across the street made sleeping a challenge. We woudl definitely ocnsider staying at U go By again.

We had a great stay at Y Go By! The house was very clean and stocked with everything you could need. Plenty of beds between the two cottages adjoined with the deck , one bathroom in each cottage and an outdoor shower. The beach was a short walk away and there were plenty of beach chairs in good condition to use . The deck was a perfect spot for coffee; probably even better in fall with no leaves to be able to see the view of the marsh behind. There weren't alot of tv channels available (my kids wanted Red Sox!) but then again , you are on vacation. It was a bit dated, and a couple of simple fixes like a new curtain would be nice , yet again not a complaint with the location and cleanliness. The GRB Market nearby with homemade muffins and any necessities is great, as is the nearby lobster shack and ice cream (cash only! ) . We like to go to the Pier and drive into Kennebunkport, or head the other way to Biddeford Pool to walk Timber Point or Fortunes Rocks. The neighborhood is very friendly, and morning walks on Goose Rocks Beach will be missed ! Just FYI if you want a firepit you need to get a permit from the town first. I did not see any washer or dryer , but new towels were provided by Vacasa. Wr will be back!

Fabulous family home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the separate ‘coach house’ offered a quiet place to escape to after a lively day at the beach. We enjoyed lobster dinners and marathon Scrabble tournaments at the large dining table. It was the perfect accommodation for our family!

Perfect location!
Y Go By is just perfect! The house met all our needs and was very clean, the beds are comfortable and the bedding was very cozy. The two houses were perfect for our group (6 adults and 4 children). Very centrally located, 10 mins to Kennebunkport and a 5 min walk to Goose Rocks Beach. Highly reccomend staying here.
