You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
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.

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!
