Property was wonderful. Spacious modern and clean. Close to York Beach, Kittery, and Portsmouth. Had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Host was great and very supportive.
Very clean, great location. They provided more consumable supplies than expected. They provided a good offering of toys, and board games. Having sound machines in the rooms was also an excellent touch.The jacuzzi was great and the washer and dryer worked well. We did have a consistent problem with the WiFi which was not resolved during our stay. It was otherwise an amazing place to stay, I highly recommend it.
This home was a beautiful place for our friends to gather! There were lots of sleeping configurations, plenty of bathrooms, and the proximity to town was unmatched. We also LOVED the outdoor shower and hot tub!
This is a beautiful home with everything we needed for a wonderful family getaway.

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.
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!
We came from Missouri and loved the Maine Coast and this house!

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!
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.
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.
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%!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
clean, short supplies
Very clean and almost brand new. The only shortcoming was lack of supplies (washer/dish washer detergent, etc.)

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!

What a beautiful home. We could not have had a better time.
Everything was as promised, and everything worked. Hot tub was a lot of fun in the cool evenings.
I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you,

Great home in York!
Awesome family house. Clean. New. Everything worked. Great wifi/ Internet speed. Kids loved the hot tub. Great house. Close to the lighthouse and beech areas.
Great location and beautiful space! The house had everything we needed and a lot of amenities for the kids- a portable high chair and even bath toys! We loved the outdoor space and the interior decor was just beautiful!

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!
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.
