A Little Extra Shine:
Celebrating Our BusinessRate Best of 2026 Award
Locally rooted hospitality, thoughtful stays, and a community worth celebrating.
We have some exciting news to share with our Salty Family! Salt & Shine Vacation Rental Properties, LLC has been recognized as a BusinessRate Best of 2026 Award Winner in the Vacation Home Rental Agency category for York, Maine.
We’re proud of this recognition and grateful to the guests, homeowners, and team members who make our work so meaningful. This award joins our BusinessRate Best of 2024 recognition, giving us another wonderful reason to pause and say thank you.
A Local Business with a Personal Connection
As a family-run vacation rental and property management company, Salt & Shine grew from a love for coastal Maine and a desire to help others experience it with ease.
We know how much goes into a vacation. Families coordinate schedules, friends plan long-awaited reunions, and couples set aside time to reconnect. Choosing a home is an important part of that experience, and we take the trust behind that decision seriously.
From helping guests find a home that fits their plans to answering questions and sharing local favorites, we want each stay to feel thoughtfully supported.
And a whole lot of gratitude.
To Our Guests: Thank You
When you take the time to share your experience, you help future travelers picture their own Maine getaway. You also help our team understand which details make the biggest difference.
We love hearing about morning coffee overlooking the ocean, family dinners around the table, and children asking when they can come back. Welcoming returning guests and becoming part of those traditions is one of the greatest joys of our work.
To everyone who has stayed with us, recommended us, or written a review: thank you for being part of our story.
A Shared Celebration
To our homeowners, thank you for trusting us with your homes. Each property has its own character, history, and connection to the people who own it. We appreciate the opportunity to care for those homes and welcome guests who will make memories of their own.
And to our Salt & Shine team and local service partners: this recognition belongs to you, too. Your work preparing homes, responding to questions, coordinating repairs, and caring for the details helps make every stay possible.
More Maine Memories Ahead
As we celebrate this award, we’re looking forward to continuing the work we love: caring for homes, supporting our homeowners, and welcoming guests to this beautiful stretch of coast.
Whether your ideal Maine escape means summer days at Long Sands, a quiet fall weekend, or watching winter waves from a cozy living room, we would love to help you find your place here.
Thank you for being part of our Salty Family. Here’s to more coastal stays and memories made together.
With gratitude,
The Salt & Shine Family
