Whether you’re looking for a family vacation, a friends’ getaway, or simply a peaceful retreat by the sea, Beach Pit at Short Sands is the perfect blend of relaxation and fun. It’s more than a vacation rental—it’s a place where happy memories are made.

Our stay at the Beach Pit was amazing. We were adequately prepared prior to visit with the description of the rental. The space is so cozy yet modern. Location is to die for! Walking distance to the beach and shops and quick drive to Ogunquit. Also, very comfy beds. Would stay again any time of the year!

Perfect location
Have stayed here in summer and in the off season. Very comfortable, always clean with everything you need. It’s a quick less than 10 minute walk to Short Sands beach, restaurants and shops. Look forward to returning again!
