Stage Neck Inn, York Harbor Maine

Don't feel like driving a zillion miles up the Maine coast to vacation in luxury by the sea? Don't worry, York Harbor, Maine, is only a 15-minute drive from the New Hampshire border.

In this quaint, picturesque section of York, the Stage Neck Inn resides as a ideal spa resort hotel where the Atlantic Ocean, town beach, cliffs and harbor all come together. The beach is secluded and beautiful and The Cliff Path rises majestically above the ocean for a magnificent scenic walk -- weather permitting. The story doesn't end there, however, as The Stage Neck Inn has myriad amenities like indoor and outdoor pools, a jacuzzi tub, tennis courts, spa services, year round and seasonal restaurants (with lobster on the menu, of course!) and access to a private golf club (additional charge).

What's more, you are minutes to Long Sands Beach and Short Sands Beach in York Beach -- the former a mile and a half and the latter a quarter mile stretch) -- both beautiful beaches walkable to the amusements, shops and restaurants in this section of York. Oh, and the Kittery Outlets are about 10 minutes away for you shopping fanatics looking for a good deal!
