Welcome to Candleshop Inn
Tranquil Atmosphere, Warm Hospitality, and Hearty Vegetarian Breakfasts
York Beach is truly a family destination in the beautiful southern Maine coast area. The quaint "downtown" area of York Beach offers seasonal gift shops, restaurants, a family arcade and more ... all within walking distance. It is also a wonderful seaside destination in which to simply come and be in peace at the ocean's edge.
The Candleshop Inn B&B is just a short walk to Short Sands Beach in York Beach, Maine. Each of our 10 guest rooms is unique and comfortably decorated, accommodating one to five people in twin, double and/or king beds (Select Your Guest Room). Five of our B&B guest rooms offer stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to a range of bedding options, we offer rooms with private full, 3/4 or half bathrooms, as well as rooms with shared bathrooms.
Each morning you'll be treated to a sumptuous homemade buffet style vegetarian breakfast prepared by Innkeeper Barbara Sheff and her staff. We are happy to tailor breakfast to meet special dietary needs (including gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan diets) with advanced notice. We even have our own seasonal garden (read more).
Wake up early to enjoy the sunrise at York Beach. If you like to practice Yoga, you may borrow a mat do so on our large outdoor deck or at the beach. If you like to meditate, center yourself in the Japanese Meditation Garden or ask Barbara for directions to the "secret beach". After your vegetarian breakfast (vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free accommodated with advanced notice), relax on the front porch or take the short walk to York Beach's downtown Main Street with its many shops and restaurants. Or spend the day at Short Sands Beach with its adjacent playground and Bandstand. Nearby are a number of other beaches.
We welcome families, children of all ages, solo travelers, and couples looking for a beach-side adventure or a quiet escape. For information about our Anniversary or Babymoon Celebrations, click here. Consider treating yourself to a body treatment (massage, aromatherapy, or Reiki) or taking a yoga class. What better way to nourish your soul! Please discuss your preferences with Barbara in advance of your arrival so she can help with the arrangements.
Enjoy a totally smoke-free environment at Candleshop B&B Inn. Here you can nourish your entire being amid our tranquil small-inn atmosphere and fuel your body with our hearty vegetarian breakfasts (please be sure to mention any special dietary needs when making your reservations).
