The Corsair and Cross Rip Oceanfront Resort

Work & Travel USA: Houseperson / Maintenance at The Corsair and Cross Rip Oceanfront Resort

Imagine waking up to salty ocean air, spending your workday with a friendly resort team, and finishing your shift with a walk straight onto a warm sandy beach. That’s daily life at The Corsair and Cross Rip Oceanfront Resort in Dennis Port, Massachusetts – one of Cape Cod’s most beloved family resorts, right on Nantucket Sound.

We’re looking for energetic, reliable university students to join our Houseperson/Maintenance team for the Summer to Fall season. If you like staying active, working with your hands, and being part of a team that keeps a beautiful property running smoothly, this is your American summer.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the housekeeping team by delivering fresh linens, towels, and supplies to guest rooms
• Removing trash and laundry from guest floors and maintaining clean, organized storage areas
• Keeping public spaces spotless – lobbies, hallways, pool decks, patios, and walkways
• Setting up and arranging pool furniture, beach chairs, and outdoor areas
• Assisting with light maintenance tasks such as changing light bulbs, minor repairs, and reporting issues to the maintenance manager
• Helping with grounds upkeep and general property presentation
• Responding to guest requests quickly and with a friendly smile

Why Dennis Port, Cape Cod?

Cape Cod is the classic New England summer destination – think lighthouses, lobster rolls, ice cream shops, bike trails, and mile after mile of golden beaches. Dennis Port sits on the warm-water south side of the Cape, perfect for swimming after work. In your free time you can explore Hyannis, take a ferry to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket, catch a Cape Cod Baseball League game, or hop on a bus to Boston (about 1.5–2 hours away) for a big-city weekend.

What You’ll Get

• $19.25 per hour – one of the strongest Work & Travel wages on the Cape
• 40 hours per week guaranteed schedule
• Opportunity for additional hours during peak season (subject to business needs)
• Beachfront workplace and a supportive, international team
• Real hospitality experience at a well-known American resort for your CV
• Daily English practice with guests and colleagues

What We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 on a valid J-1 Work & Travel visa
• Conversational English – enough to understand instructions and greet guests
• Good physical condition; the role involves standing, walking, lifting, and being on your feet all shift
• Reliability, punctuality, and a positive attitude
• Willingness to work weekends, holidays, and flexible shifts
• Availability from summer through fall – late-season workers are especially welcome
