About this property
Between The Sands - Heart of the Nubble
Welcome to Between the Sands — a bright, coastal retreat perfectly positioned so you can walk to both Short Sands and Long Sands Beach, spend the afternoon in the sun, and come back home to relax in comfort. Whether you’re here for beach days, local dining, or a classic York getaway, you’ll love being close to it all while still tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood setting.
Step inside and you’re greeted by an open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area filled with natural light — the kind of space that instantly feels easy and welcoming after a day at the beach. Just off the dining area, the screened-in sunporch is a guest favorite: sip your morning coffee with the ocean breeze, read a book in the shade, and take in that fresh coastal air as the day winds down.
The main level offers comfortable sleeping for everyone with a spacious king master bedroom, a cozy queen bedroom, and a charming double twin room. Downstairs, you’ll find an additional living area that’s perfect for kids to hang out, adults to enjoy some quiet time, or two families traveling together who want a little breathing room. There’s also an alcove with two twin beds for flexible extra sleeping space.
Outside, enjoy your own backyard oasis — ideal for yard games, grilling, and laid-back summer evenings. It’s the perfect place to come home to after a beach day: casual, private, and made for making memories.
Love the beach without the peak-season crowds? June and September are some of the best-kept secrets on the Southern Maine coast. Enjoy warm beach days, quieter mornings, and easy walks to both Short Sands and Long Sands without July traffic. Between the Sands is perfectly located for relaxed coastal living — spend your days by the water and your evenings unwinding at home in a peaceful neighborhood setting. Ideal for couples, small families, girls’ getaways, or even a remote-work escape by the sea.
Between the Sands sleeps up to 8 guests and offers parking for 3 compact cars. You’ll also enjoy two full bathrooms, central air conditioning, washer/dryer in-unit, linens and towels included, and Salt & Shine concierge services to help make your stay effortless.
Don’t miss your chance to experience York the way it’s meant to be — beachy, walkable, and unforgettable. We can’t wait to host you at Between the Sands.
