A Coastal Kind of Cozy: The Holidays with Salt & Shine

There’s something about the holidays on the Maine coast that feels a little different — quieter, cozier, and grounded in the simple things.

The beaches are still here, of course. The tide still rolls in and out. But instead of beach chairs and flip flops, you’ll find bundled walks along the shore, salt air that clears your head, and that unmistakable feeling of slowing down after a busy year.

At Salt & Shine, the holiday season always invites us to pause and reflect. It’s a time to be grateful — for our homeowners who trust us with their cherished homes, for our guests who return year after year, and for this beautiful stretch of coastline we’re lucky enough to call “work.”

Slower Days, Sweeter Moments

Winter on the coast isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing less, better.

It’s morning coffee with an ocean view.
It’s long walks at low tide.
It’s home-cooked meals, board games, and fires crackling after dark.

Whether you’re spending the holidays here or planning a quiet winter escape, our homes offer a place to truly settle in. No packed schedules. No rush. Just room to breathe.

Gratitude Looks Good on the Coast

This year has reminded us how important home really is — a place to gather, to rest, and to reconnect. We’re endlessly grateful for the relationships we’ve built with our homeowners, our repeat guests, and our local partners who help keep everything running smoothly year-round.

Salt & Shine has always been about more than vacation rentals. It’s about care, connection, and creating spaces that feel welcoming in every season — not just summer.

Looking Ahead

As the year winds down, we’re looking ahead with excitement and intention. New homes, thoughtful updates, and a continued commitment to doing things the right way — with transparency, heart, and a whole lot of coastal charm.

If the holidays find you dreaming of quiet mornings, ocean air, and a slower pace, know that the coast is still here — and so are we.

From all of us at Salt & Shine, we wish you a season filled with warmth, rest, and a little extra shine ✨
