King Real Estate Grand Beach Inn

Your American Summer Starts on the Sand

Imagine finishing your shift, grabbing your towel, and being on a seven-mile stretch of golden Atlantic beach in under five minutes. That’s daily life at King Real Estate Grand Beach Inn in Old Orchard Beach, Maine – one of New England’s most iconic seaside resort towns and a classic Work & Travel USA destination.

We’re looking for energetic, reliable university students to join our Housekeeping team from summer into fall. If you take pride in doing a job well, enjoy working with an international crew, and want to earn solid money while living the American beach-town experience, this is your placement.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Cleaning and preparing guest rooms to the Inn’s high standards – making beds, changing linens, and refreshing towels
• Vacuuming, dusting, and sanitizing bathrooms and living areas
• Restocking amenities, coffee supplies, and guest essentials
• Managing laundry: washing, drying, folding, and organizing linens
• Reporting maintenance issues and lost-and-found items to supervisors
• Keeping hallways, common areas, and housekeeping carts neat and well-stocked
• Greeting guests with a friendly smile and helping them feel at home

Why Old Orchard Beach?

Old Orchard Beach is pure American summer: a historic pier lined with food stands, the Palace Playland amusement park right on the sand, live music, fireworks every Thursday night, and sunsets over the Atlantic. The town fills with students from around the world every summer, so making friends is effortless. Portland, Maine’s vibrant food and arts city, is just 20 minutes away, and Boston is reachable in under two hours by train – with New York City, the White Mountains, and Acadia National Park all within weekend range.

Pay & Benefits

• $16.50 per hour – a strong wage for the hospitality sector
• Tips included – guests regularly leave room tips, boosting your weekly earnings
• 35 hours per week guaranteed, with a stable, predictable schedule
• Extended season: summer through fall – work longer and save more
• Walking distance to the beach, shops, and nightlife
• Friendly, supportive management experienced with international students

What We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 on a valid J-1 Work & Travel USA visa
• Conversational English – enough to understand instructions and greet guests warmly
• Strong attention to detail and pride in a job well done
• Physical stamina: you’ll be on your feet, bending, and lifting light loads
• Reliability and punctuality – our team counts on each other
• A positive, team-first attitude and willingness to learn
