Welcome to Splice The Maine Brace, a newly built, custom-designed home (completed in 2021) that captures the essence of coastal Maine living. Thoughtfully decorated in timeless New England style, this beautiful retreat blends modern comfort, elegant gathering spaces, and exceptional outdoor living — all just a 5-minute stroll from York Beach, shops, and restaurants.

✨ Bright, Beautiful Interiors
Step inside to a cheerful, sunlit living area with warm wood flooring, cozy seating, and a gas fireplace that creates a welcoming atmosphere year-round. A large flatscreen Smart TV sets the stage for movie nights or lazy mornings, while central A/C ensures perfect comfort on warm summer days.

Beyond the deck, a spacious patio oasis awaits — the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or soak in the brand-new private hot tub. Slip into the warm bubbles under the open sky after a beach day, stargaze with a glass of wine, or let the jets melt away any lingering stress. This hot tub retreat transforms your evenings into something truly special.

After a day of sun and surf, the outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse, while the private washer + dryer keeps sandy towels and swimsuits in check.

🌊 The Perfect Beach Location

This was our 2nd time staying at this home; it’s a nice, airy. stylish, comfortable space. Everything is well done, there are adequate amounts of everything (kitchen equipment, towels etc); the towels were so good my husband went and ordered the same ones. The location is good. I don’t love a main road but it’s not too busy and it’s a very close and easy walk to town and Short Sands; we walked to the Nubble a few times too. And the hot tub is a nice plus!

Wonderful week at Splice the Maine brace!

Splice the Maine Brace was truly a pleasure to stay at. The owners thought of pretty much everything you would need for a successful stay and Salt & Shine didn’t disappoint either. The trip to Short Sands was quick and easy with everything in walking distance. We will certainly return next year.

Can't wait to do it again next year!

We stayed at a lovely, new, and spacious home just a short walk from both the beach and downtown. Everything was within walking distance, which made it super convenient. The home had all the amenities we needed—especially the hot tub and fire pit, which really made the vacation special. The staff at Salt & Shine—Danielle, Stephanie, Hannah, and others—went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Their hospitality made a big difference and added a personal touch to our trip. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Home!

We had the best stay at Splice the Maine Brace! Pictures don't do this home justice! It was beautifully decorated, spacious, and well equipped. The home offers everything you would need on a vacation and more and is an easy walk to Short Sands beach. I could not be more happy with the home and our vacation. My only complaint is that I couldn't stay longer. Will definitely re-book in the future!

York Treasure

We had an amazing stay for a Ladies weekend. The home was spacious, clean, and fully equipped. We enjoyed the hot tub, comfortable beds, and location to town and the Nubble lighthouse. We also loved spending time together in the living room with the fireplace going. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Perfect York Beach house

This a super clean, new and well stocked home. Easy walk to the beach/town/shops, etc. Garage parking. Hot tub and fire pit were perfect. But be prepared for lots of stairs, all bedrooms on third floor.

Beautiful Home

The house was enormous for a 3 bedroom, with a private back yard, a large top-end hot tub and a gas fired firepit. The kitchen was very clean, spacious, modern and fully equipped. In short, everything was top-notch. But examine the "fees" closely, as they increased the cost of our stay over 20%!

Falling in love with Short Sands

Wow! My family of five just wrapped up one of our best York vacations ever at Splice the Mainebrace! We normally spend our annual vacation off Long Sands but ended up here due to renovations at our go-to house. What a wonderful surprise! The house is a 5-star property, offering everything you would ever need for an enjoyable long weekend (or more) in York. The kitchen is fully stocked and complemented by a huge kitchen table and island with tools. The bedrooms are immaculate with super comfy beds. The hot tub and fireplace ended up being the centerpiece of our stay. The hot tub is resort-quality and spacious, easily fitting our entire family. The garage is packed with kid and adult outdoor games and more than enough beach gear. With the exception of an initial trip to Hannaford's and a drive to Nubble lighthouse (5 minutes), our car sat in the driveway the entire stay because we were able to walk to everything - York Beach Brewery, Short Sands beach, restaurants, shops - all within 5-10 minute walk WITH the kids. We have been Long Sands vacationers for 20+ years, but our stay at this home has made us rethink our York vacations. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful house in a great location!

This house was very easy. Let me qualify that- very easy if you’re ok with a lot of stairs. Fortunately, that was fine for us. Everything is easy to use, good quality, the house is spacious and super clean. The location was perfect for us with older kids too- we loved walking to town and the beach every morning. And the hot tub and fire pit were good fun at night. A great house for a family with kids beyond the toddler years. Enjoy!

York stay

This was a very nice property, but was on a main road with a fair amount of traffic. The photos of the back yard make it look like it was out by its self. The only issue was the oven did not work which really changed our plans of cooking a lot at the house. There was a sticker on the oven about it not working so I assume it has been like this for a while. Overall great location to town and the beaches.
