Ocean Curve - the best of both beaches

INQUIRE WITHIN ABOUT LONG-TERM WINTER RENTAL STAYS

Step into Ocean Curve, a bright, airy, and coastal-inspired retreat that captures the true essence of York Beach living. From the moment you arrive, this cheerful beach house will have you dreaming of endless summer days and salty sea breezes for years to come.
Just steps from Long Sands Beach, this home invites you to open the windows and sliding doors to let in the sound of crashing waves. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee in the living room or unwinding on the spacious deck, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Maine coast.

🏡 Open & Inviting Coastal Living
Upon entering, you’re greeted by a sunlit open-concept living space, where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly together — perfect for gathering with family and friends.
The chef’s kitchen is fully stocked and ready for anything from a classic Maine lobster bake to a simple cup of coffee from the Keurig or drip coffee maker. Every detail has been thoughtfully prepared so you can focus on making memories, not packing kitchenware.

🛏️ Comfortable Bedrooms & Relaxing Spaces
Ocean Curve offers three charming bedrooms, each designed with a light and breezy coastal touch. A beautifully updated full bathroom features a walk-in glass shower, adding a spa-like feel to your stay.
Downstairs, the finished lower level is a perfect bonus hangout zone with a ping pong and foosball table—a favorite spot for kids (and kids at heart!). You’ll also find a half bathroom and convenient washer & dryer.

☀️ Unbeatable Location & Classic Maine Vibes
Immerse yourself in vacation mode with the shared acre of lush green lawn, ideal for lawn games or relaxing in the sun. Enjoy quick walks for ice cream, stroll across the street to Long Sands, or take a ten-minute walk to Short Sands for shops, dining, and entertainment. Ocean Curve places you right at the heart of everything York Beach has to offer.

Whether you're planning a summer getaway or seeking a peaceful winter retreat, this home is the perfect place to settle in and experience coastal Maine at its finest.

Great location, walking distance to the beach.

Location was great, enjoyed our stay, all the essentials included. Very clean, happy to have basement area for pingpong and bike storage. Great deck! One critique, two of the bedrooms were very small, limited storage for clothing. Could use a big bed in the basement for more guests! Overall great stay!

Wonderful Family Vacation at Ocean Curve

Ocean Curve was a very comfortable, extremely clean, well-supplied vacation rental with convenient location within walking distance to both Long Sands beach and downtown York. We enjoyed grilling outside and using the deck furniture for meals. Plus we used the extra beach chairs and toys located under the spacious deck in addition to housing our own beach items. The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing, and we enjoyed playing ping pong and foosball in the downstairs game room. This house was well-stocked with consumable items such as toiletries, beach and bath towels, kitchen appliances and utensils, plus cookware and dinnerware etc. It was also very handy to have a washer and dryer to use. Walking into this beautiful ultra clean rental to find a ‘Welcome’ gift bag with thoughtful items was a surprise bonus! When we had an issue with the sliding door lock, Salt & Shine responded and resolved this matter in a timely manner; this shows that their attention to detail and safety of their renters is of utmost importance to them. In addition, Salt & Shine’s communication from pre-booking through to the end of our stay was impeccable. This is a perfect summer vacation rental for our family that we look forward to renting again in the future.

What a wonderful week! The property is so nice and well situated between Long and Short Sand beaches, so its easy to walk to either! Kitchen is a dream and well stocked for your needs and the little patio was perfect for early morning coffee or a late night cocktail. We definitely used the game room downstairs and enjoyed having laundry onsite as well.

Awesome!

Everything was just as advertised. It was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. The location was just right in between Short and Long Sands. Will definitely consider returning for another vacation.

Super bright and airy vacation home!

We stayed at Ocean Curve with our family of six adults for one week. The house had everything we needed for the week and had a large washer and dryer so we didn’t have to take home dirty clothes. Beds were comfy, table sat six comfortable as did the living room. It was close to the beach, so we could easily walk and could come back during the day if necessary for lunch. I highly recommend this home as a vacation home!

Perfect location to relax and unwind

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return! The rental was the perfect size for our needs—comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. We especially loved the peace and quiet it offered, making it a relaxing escape, while still being just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and everything we needed. It truly offers the best of both worlds: a tranquil retreat with a convenient location. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation!
