What matters most for a York Hospital assignment?
For a 13-week assignment, the biggest housing questions are usually commute time, sleep quality, laundry, parking, reliable Wi-Fi, kitchen access, pet rules, and whether the home feels stable enough for real life between shifts. Captain and the Kiwi is designed around those practical needs rather than a short hotel-style stay.
| Hospital commute | Approximately 7 minutes by car to York Hospital. |
|---|---|
| Minimum stay | 30 days for extended stay bookings. |
| Availability | Monthly stays are available October through May, depending on the calendar. |
| Included | Furniture, linens, towels, kitchen essentials, Wi-Fi, parking, washer and dryer, heat, air conditioning, and outdoor space. |

Why choose a whole house instead of a room or studio?
A whole house gives travel professionals more flexibility: a real kitchen, separate bedrooms, private laundry, and enough space for a partner, visiting family member, or another clinician sharing the assignment. Three full bathrooms also make roommate arrangements easier than a typical one-bath apartment.
Can an agency or staffing firm be involved?
Yes. Captain and the Kiwi is open to working with travel nursing agencies and staffing firms on billing and documentation. Because assignment dates and employer rules can shift, direct communication is the best way to confirm dates, paperwork needs, and final pricing.
What is nearby after a shift?
Long Sands Beach is a short walk from the house, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire is about 18 minutes away for restaurants, breweries, and waterfront time. Ogunquit and Marginal Way are also nearby for days off.
