Sand and Surf

For more than a century, the Sand and Surf in York, Maine has welcomed summer guests to a magnificent setting. The Sand and Surf retains many of its charming 1900's features such as the original bead board and hardwood floors but it has been beautifully renovated and boasts a modern kitchen, bathrooms, and more. The home sits majestically above the ocean. Go back to those gentler times of summers on the rugged coast of Maine: relaxing afternoons on the porch, strolling the beach or savoring the local attractions. You'll enjoy spectacular views from the enclosed and open porches.
Just yards away, Short Sands Beach and downtown York Beach Village offers a sandy beach, quaint shops, ice cream, restaurants, entertainment and more--perfect for the young at heart! Looking to adventure beyond Short Sands? We are located less than 1/4 mile from Long Sands Beach, a short walk to the Nubble Lighthouse and a short bike ride to York Village.
One Long Beach Vacation Rental Properties also owns the Sea View located next door. In addition, we have five properties located down the street at our One Long Beach address. These include three charming cottages (Goose Rocks, Heron Neck, and Owls Head) as well as the Main House and the Carriage House.
Renters must read and acknowledge the Renters Information and Agreement Letter for the property.

We chose this property for our family reunion. I am one of 29 first cousins on my father's side. We get together every few years to cherish and honor our heritage. This venue is one of the best we have ever stayed in. The views are stunning. The front porch is to die for. The entire facility was very clean. On the first floor, there are three sitting rooms appointed with comfortable leather couches and chairs. The open dining space was large enough for all of us. The large modern kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dinnerware. It has two refrigerators and two dishwashers. Upstairs the bedrooms were more than sufficient for a good night's sleep. it is close (walking distance) to eateries and souvenir shops. It was not inexpensive, but worth every penny to our group from all over the country. And did I mention the spectacular front porch?

Wonderful home in an ideal spot!

Totally top notch stay. Property is among the best we’ve visited for 20-member family reunion. Super clean - very well maintained with great balance of modernized and historic. Absolutely amazing site with big porch, great ocean and sunset views. Comfy bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and lots of spaces to gather. Excellent location - walk to beaches and Nubble Light, walk to restaurants/shops/ice cream and easy drives to a range of villages and activities. Excellent!

Great place for family reunion

Great house -- loved it! Our group of 19 really enjoyed our stay here. Lots of room for family dinners and playing board games. It was nice to have 2 refrigerators with such a large group of people. Great view from the spacious front porch. Short walk to the beach, shops, lighthouse. House was very clean and the hosts were easy to communicate with.

Fantastic Home for our Family Reunion

Our stay at the Sun & Surf was magnificent! It was the perfect house & location for our family reunion. The various gathering spaces in the home were perfect. The spacious porch and cozy sunroom were perfect spots to admire the beautiful view of the ocean. Ed was so accommodating to all of our requests. We loved every minute of our stay!

Family Reunion ~ Dad's 100th B-Day

It was a perfect setting, perfect size, and excellent spaces for all of us to be together, outside & in. The water was perfect for short "swims", short because it was too cold to be in for long, but ideal for starting the day. Only one request, as we may be back another year, and that is to provide more pillows. Thank you Ed, this was just the perfect spot for our family! Tristam

Fantastic!

This house is amazing - very clean and well cared for home. The views are fantastic, short walk to the beach, plenty of room for a large group yet also space for people to have private conversations and some peace and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back!
