Less than a 10 minute walk to Marginal Way / Perkins Cove and several of the best restaurants in Ogunquit, this cozy house sleeps 12 (5 bedrooms). The large driveway can accommodate 5 vehicles and there is no where else in the Oguniquit area that you will find a house this size at this reasonable price and this close to the water. With its 3 fully renovated bathrooms, 5 window air conditions, we work to assure our guests comfort throughout the summer season. Our1930s cottage has a designer kitchen with double ovens, a quiet as a mouse dishwasher and a fully outfitted coffee bar with a variety of mixers for your beverages. Outside our guests can experience the yard in a variety areas, from the hammock in the shade, a full circle fire pit, the propane BBQ grilling area right off the sunroom of the house as well as a front porch with cushioned chairs and rockers. Board games, books, and badminton are available to keep your family entertained and for our families traveling with small children we offer a toddler bed, portable crib, high chair, infant / toddler carrier backpack and a wagon to bring everything down to the beach. All linens are provided within the listing price from Memorial Day to Labor Day. At all other times of the year there is an additional fee for linens. We welcome guests with a dog and are working on putting in a small fenced area for your furry friend for when you go out to the beach or dinner. Guests traveling with a dog will pay a non-refundable pet deposit and because this is Maine - we strongly encourage our guests to give your pet a flea / tick treatment before arrival. 2 smart TVs are available and from our 3 season family room you may see the turkeys and other critters that come wandering through the 1 acre yard. And if you are a sports fan, you will be staying in a home once owned by Charles Adams, original founder of the Boston Bruins back in in 1924, the Boston Braves, and former President of the Boston Hockey Association. "Adams occupies a singular place in Boston sports as having been the owner and partner of two local pro franchises simultaneously while also building one of America’s legendary thoroughbred tracks" (referring to Suffolk Downs). In this room you can imagine the trophies which once lined the custom built mahogony shelves. For more information about Charles Adams go to: https://www.sportsmuseum.org/curators-corner/charles-f-adams/ We offer a $50 a day discount to families who choose to bring all of their own linens otherwise you will find new linens delivered to the property on the day you arrive and then picked up the day you leave. Yoga under the trees (we provide a yoga mat, kettle bells, and hand weights) our home is the perfect summer place for you and your family to relax, recharge and reconnect with each other, nature, and your soul. This property offers absolute quiet, a feeling or sanctuary, while still just being 700 steps to Perkin's Cove. You can walk to “That Place" for a romantic meal or to The Cove restaurant for breakfast. You can go for a stroll on Marginal Way or get in the car and drive to Cape Neddick Lighthouse in 10 minutes. What most people tell us and write in their reviews is that the location of this property is really ideal since you can get into town without the challenge of trying to find parking for your car. Please note this is house is multilevel and therefore, has a lot of STAIRS, both inside and outside of the house which could pose a challenge to those that require assistance or have limited mobility. We offer a discount for people wanting to rent the property from Fall to Spring. Generally there are no discounts given during this period of time since you will already see a significantly reduced rate reflected on the website but send us a note through the platform and we are happy to discuss your offers. Due to the potential for freezing pipes if a house is left unattended - as this is Maine - we do not rent the house during this period of time for anything less than 3 months. Our guests are responsible for paying for their own snowplowing and heating fuel. This is an older home and it is extremely comfortable from April to November, but guests should anticipate paying $500 a month on heating fuel during the winter months. There is an unattached guest house on the property that is not rented. It is attached to the garage so the garage is also not included in renting this property. Finally, we do encourage dialog regarding the property, but do not ask us to call or e mail you separate from this website since this is the safest way for both of us to communicate. Warm wishes from our favorite place and we look forward to meeting you soon.

Really enjoyed this house and the location is great being so close to Perkins Cove. Easy access to go back and forth from Ogunquit to places like Portland or Portsmouth. Lisa was very easy to communicate with and the price was more than fair for the size of the house. Would stay here again without a doubt.

This home was perfect for our three generations of family gathering in Ogunquit for a wedding. The location was awesome and we enjoyed days at the beach and walks on the Marginal Way. The house was lovely, well stocked and so much more than the pictures show. Lisa and Mike were wonderful hosts. High recommend this property.

The house was truly lovely, old but updated and maintained. The property was gorgeous. Wild turkeys passed through on a daily basis. Beautiful tree coverage. It was truly a short walk to Perkins Cove and the rest of Ogunquit. We highly recommend this rental.

Lisa’s home was perfectly suited for six adults, one infant, and our pet. It was as described on her listing, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The house was clean, the location was perfect, and the amenities were nice. We’d come back again.

We enjoyed this home. We came with multi generations, everyone loved the home. Plenty of room and beds. Our children (ages ranged from 11-16) and grandparents had places to go for a little quite time away from everyone. Beautiful yard!
Easy check in and very clean. Kitchen completely equipped. 3 full bathrooms! We enjoyed having our coffee outside on the patio in the morning.
Homeowners were very nice and helpful. Many cute little touches. Even a welcome gift upon arrival!
We enjoyed walks to Perkins cove. The location is perfect! We were able to enjoy not just Ogunquit beach but Wells Beach too (another great beach to visit).
Would definitely stay again!
Thank you Lisa for a wonderful and memorable stay.

The rental was more than adequate for 4 adults and 2 children ages 4 and 2. The hosts, Lisa and Mike were very accessible and responsive to our needs and questions. The facility was updated ( kitchen and bathrooms). Location was excellent with East access to beach, Ogunquit and neighboring towns. Had a great time

This is an outstanding home for anyone, but especially a family. The property is beautiful, large and so accommodating. Easy walking distance to Perkins cove/ogunquit, ogunquit beach, marginal way and just so much. Location is so good and easy for traveling anywhere. Communication with Lisa was so easy and quick. My family certainly plans to come back and likely make this spot a yearly destination for us.

We had a perfect Thanksgiving week in this home. The location, house and property can't be beat. We walked to the cute downtown for pastries and coffee and to Perkins Cove. The kitchen was well appointed for lots of cooking and baking. We had three generations for the week and everyone loved the home and being together. We hope to be back next year!

This property can't be beat. Privacy, beauty, spaciousness, functionability, and so much more. This property is well maintained and looked after and has a very welcoming feel making you feel at home instantly. There is strong internet which was important for us, as all 4 of us were schooling or working online. We had a wonderful stay and felt that we landed on our feet staying here. I would highly recommend this house and the owners are wonderful caring people.

We enjoyed everything about this property. The entrance through the mud room was a plus especially with the fall weather. The layout of the multiple rooms was spot on giving everyone some privacy when needed. The grounds were as attractive as we had expected. The location was perfect for us as we like to take long walks with our dog. Perkins Cove, Marginal Way and Ogunquit were all easily accessible on foot. The same applies to driving with the house being just off Shore Road. We found everything we needed in the house for our stay. We really loved every minute of our stay here and will definitely return.
