About Me

Welcome to Shore Vibes by Maria

Hi, I'm Maria — and if you've ever felt that pull toward the ocean, that itch to pack up and head to the shore the second the weather turns warm, then you already understand exactly why Shore Vibes exists.

I founded ShoreSummerRentals.com back in 2004 — that's 22 years ago now. It's the kind of work that gets into your bones — mornings on the beach before the crowds arrive, watching families make the same memories year after year, and falling more in love with coastal life with every season. On the side, I've always loved designing coastal homes, just for myself, my family, and friends — it's never been more than a hobby, but it's where I first realized how much I love turning a feeling like "beach house in July" into something you can actually see.

Shore Vibes is that same love, just wearable. I design every graphic myself — the waves, the sunsets, the little bits of salt-air humor — and I'm still fairly new to this. I won't pretend to be some seasoned apparel designer. What I do have is an obsession with getting the details right, because I want every design to be the kind of thing that catches your eye and makes you smile every time you throw it on.

I'm just as particular about what I put those designs on. I choose higher-end blanks like Comfort Colors and Bella+Canvas — soft, well-made pieces that feel as easy as a day at the beach — and I'm always on the lookout for more great brands to add. Every piece is something I'd actually want to wear myself.

I'm also taking custom orders — bachelorette parties, family reunions, restaurants, sports teams, and more. And I've got fun new designs in the works, including some Irish Weekend pieces and Philly sports-inspired apparel, so stay tuned for those.

Thank you for being here. I'd love for you to check out the shop, and if you have a design idea or a custom order in mind, please don't hesitate to reach out — I'd love to hear from you.
