Family-owned since forever, feels like it

Salt air, cool sheets, & a short walk to the sand.

A no-fuss coastal motel in York Beach, Maine — the kind of place where the day starts with tide reports and ends with a screen door easing shut. Book direct with the family who owns it.

The Rooms

Cool, quiet, and honest.

Rooms are simple on purpose — good beds, thick towels, coffee in the morning, and the sound of the surf where the AC used to be. Pick a layout that fits your crowd; we'll hold the sunset for you.

One Queen

The Sandpiper

Just enough room for two, a windowsill full of shells, and a slow morning. Best light in the building.

Two Doubles

The Rockweed

Made for families, cousins, and the pile of sandy sneakers by the door. Room to spread the towels out.

King · Kitchenette

The Nubble

A little kitchen, a bigger bed, and enough counter space to cut a lime for the porch. Longer stays welcome.

Sample room lineup — we'll swap in your actual room types, layouts, and photos when we go live.

Book Direct

Third-party sites take a cut and answer nothing. Booking with us means the family who runs the place hears from you first — and passes the savings back on the rate.

The Beach & Nearby

York Beach is the small stuff done right.

Two long strands of sand, a working lighthouse, taffy in the window, and a boardwalk that still smells like fried dough. Everything worth doing is a short stroll or a very short drive.

Long Sands Beach

Two miles of hard-packed sand at low tide. Perfect for a walk that turns into an accidental swim.

A short walk

Nubble Light

Maine's most-photographed lighthouse. Bring a coffee at sunrise; you'll understand why.

Just up the coast

Short Sands Village

Taffy, arcade, a Ferris wheel that still creaks, and lobster rolls served in a paper boat.

Around the corner

Cliff Walk & Coves

Tide pools, granite ledges, and quiet coves for a book and a wide-brim hat.

Our Story

A porch, a family, and one very stubborn view.

The Sea Turn has been in the family long enough that the same kids who chased gulls off the railing now check people in at the office. We don't chase trends. We keep the paint fresh, the tide chart current, and the coffee free.

You'll find us on the porch most evenings. If you're new to York Beach, we've got a hand-drawn map of the good spots. If you've been coming for years, we probably remember where you like the towels folded.
