The beach is even better in October.

Less rushing. More wandering.

Hot coffee and tea by the ocean. A walk on Short Sands. It's not so hot so walk to Long Sands too :) Sit by the lighthouse. Dinner somewhere cozy. Comfy aweathirts all day.

Summer gets all the attention — but October in York Beach is pretty darn good. ❤️

Come spend the long weekend with us.

There's nothing like the feeling of rounding this bend into Short Sands, York Beach. .. .a mix of exhilaration, relief, freedom, and hope maybe? All I know is it makes me smile and blast my music every time. 😁✨😍

Looking for a quiet place to put down everything you've been carrying?

We know a bench. 🌊

September you get the quiet getaway you've been looking for.

Come take a walk. Sit by the water. Stay a night or two.

We have plenty of rooms available and some seriously good end-of-season rates.

Your bench is waiting.

(We can't guarantee it will solve all your problems. But staring at the Atlantic for an hour has a pretty respectable track record. 😂)

Some views are even better when the weather rolls in.

From the Starfish Suite, you can watch the sky change, the waves roll in, and a storm come and go — all without leaving the living room.

Sunny morning, foggy afternoon, wild Maine sky… there’s always something happening outside these windows.

Front-row seats to Short Sands, no matter what the weather decides to do. 💙

End-of-season deal that feels a little too good to be true. 👀

Welcome to the Sea Glass Suite — your own little perch above Short Sands Beach.

Wake up to the ocean. Have coffee on the rooftop deck. Walk across the street to the beach. Come home, spread out, and do absolutely nothing for a while.

We have more availability than usual as York Beach slips into its quieter season — which means this might be the perfect time to snag one of our most special stays for a whole lot less than peak summer.

Call us for our end-of-season Sea Glass Suite special.

📍 Short Sands Beach • York, Maine
🌊 Ocean views • Private deck • Full kitchen • Room to actually relax

Sometimes being on top of the world is surprisingly affordable. 😉
