York Beach · Maine

Wake up to the
first light on the Atlantic.

A small, sunrise-facing motel a short walk from Long Sands Beach. Quiet rooms, warm coffee before the horizon lights, and a coast that still remembers how to slow down.

Steps from Long Sands East-facing rooms Family-run feel
The rooms

Simple, sunlit, and made for the coast.

Every room is turned toward the water. Linens washed on the line-day, ceiling fans that actually work, and a small carafe for the coffee we set out before sunrise.

Ocean-facing

The Dawn Room

Our east-facing kings. You'll be awake before the alarm, and you'll be glad about it.

  • King bed
  • Private balcony or patio
  • Direct sunrise view
  • Fresh coffee at 5:00 am
Family suite

The Cove Suite

Two rooms, one door between. Kids sleep in, parents get the balcony. Everyone's happy.

  • Queen + twin bunks
  • Kitchenette
  • Sleeps four
  • Beach towels & sand buckets
Two queens

The Nubble Room

Toward the point. A little quieter, a little tucked-away. The room the returning guests ask for.

  • Two queen beds
  • Corner-of-the-property calm
  • Adirondack chairs outside
  • Charging station & fast Wi-Fi

Sample room lineup for preview — we'll swap in your real rooms, rates, and photos before launch.

Small things done right

The comforts that actually matter on a coast trip.

No lobby gimmicks. No resort fees. Just the handful of things that make a morning easier and a beach day better.

Sunrise coffee

Fresh pot on by 5:00 am. Mugs are the real ceramic kind.

Beach kit

Towels, chairs, and a rinse-off hose by the door for sandy feet.

Steady Wi-Fi

Fast enough to send back-home photos without waiting.

Local map

A hand-marked guide to breakfast spots, tide pools, and the good ice cream.

Book direct

Skip the middleman. Save the fee. Get the corner room.

Every booking that goes through a big travel site takes a bite out of a small motel. When you book with us directly, that bite comes back to you as a better room, a longer stay, or a warmer welcome.

Book direct
  • Best available rate, always. We won't be undersold on our own rooms.
  • First pick of east-facing rooms when you tell us you're chasing the sunrise.
  • Flexible changes, honestly handled. Life happens on the coast.
  • A real human at the front desk — the one who'll remember your dog's name next year.
Around us

York Beach in an easy walk.

Long Sands stretches out just past our lot line. The rest of the good stuff is a short amble in either direction — no car keys, no parking meters, no missed sunsets.

  1. 01

    Long Sands Beach

    Wide, flat, and long enough that a walk clears any week. Best just after sunrise.

  2. 02

    Nubble Light

    The postcard lighthouse on the point. Worth the short drive or the longer walk.

  3. 03

    York Beach village

    Ice cream, arcade lights, and a couple of chowder places worth arguing over.

  4. 04

    Cape Neddick tide pools

    Low-tide worlds you can lose an hour in. Bring shoes with grip.

Our small promise
"We keep the lights low, the coffee on, and the room ready before the sun is. You bring the alarm you probably won't need."
