The Willow: Cozy, Sleeps 6, Fenced-In Yard, Ample Parking, Walk to the Beach!

The Willow House got its name from the 300 year old weeping Willow tree that drapes over the backyard. The house is an 1850 spacious 6 room, 2 bedroom, Cape Cod style home. Sleeps 6 comfortably with an additional pull-out couch in the den. The house is centrally located in Southern Maine in Wells/Moody Beach, at the Ogunquit-Wells line. The Ogunquit and Wells Trolley stops are two doors from the house and will take you to fine and casual dining, Perkins Cove, Ogunquit Village, Ogunquit Beach, Footbridge Beach, Wells Beach, Miniature golf, go karts, and ice cream shops all around town, starting with Spinnakers conveniently located just steps away!

Build your family’s memories here at the beach with a private fenced-in backyard, parking for up to 5 cars, and close proximity to all of the fan favorites.

The Willow House is walking distance to Moody Beach (10 minute walk, less than a mile!), Footbridge and Ogunquit Beach: a scenic 15 minute walk or 2 minute drive. There are 5 restaurants within a 5 minute walk.

The Willow has a large eat-in kitchen with a fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, coffee makers (K-cup and traditional), all of the dishes, pots, cups, silverware you’ll need across ample counter and cabinet space for your goodies.

There is a living/dining room with a large flat screen TV and comfortable furniture, a den with a TV and a pull-out sofa (great for kids), a full bathroom on the first floor, and a screened in all-season porch with wicker furniture to enjoy in both sunny/rainy weather!

There are 2 bedrooms upstairs: a bedroom with a king sized bed and another containing 2 twin sized beds. Both rooms have dressers. (The Den makes a “third” sleeping space).

Central air conditioning keeps things cool and comfortable in the summer for you and your family.

The Willow is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between renters and we accommodate contactless check-in’s!

Great house and yard especially with dogs
The only things I could say about the home that could use improvement were that the upstairs tv didn’t work/was missing a power cord and that there was no soap provided for the bath. Everything else was wonderful. Would totally come back (and bring soap):)

Charming Cottage
The cottage was charming, very clean, beautifully decorated and fully equipped, but when we first pulled in, we were a bit disappointed at how close to the road and an intersection it was located. The photos on VRBO led us to believe the front of this property was set back farther from the road than actual. However, it was so convenient to the beach, restaurants, grocery stores and shops. We also appreciated that it was dog/family friendly and so clean and fully equipped. Overall, our experience was wonderful and we had everything we needed to make our vacation enjoyable and memorable!

Nice clean home
Lovely home with well stocked kitchen for cooking (but no large frying pan!). Comfy furniture and beds. Clean and spacious with great backyard for lounging, eating outside, and playing games. It was located directly on busy main road with longer hike to the beach than we anticipated (just under a mile along road with no sidewalks). That was our only drawback. Otherwise had a nice stay. Plenty of delicious restaurants very close also.

Amazing pet friendly house in Ogunquit
Everything about this house was as described, it was spacious, had a large, fully stocked kitchen, a huge back yard, easy parking, a nice living room with a big TV (for late night movies). The four of us spent most of our time in the large screened in porch, which is perfect for cocktail hour and playing cards. It is an easy walk from the house straight down to a great public beach, and there are many more awesome beaches in the area. It is on the north side of town makes it easy to get up to Kennebunkport for Whale Watching and Portland, but makes it a 35 min walk into the center of Ogunquit. We had hoped to take the Ogunquit trolley service into town as their website says service is every 15 mins. It is not. We (and others we met) waited far longer. We switched to driving into town for dinner and always found parking. A great house in a great town with great food. If you have a dog - the huge, fully fenced back yard is a massive bonus.

10 day getaway
This was a spacious house that answered our needs for my family and our golden doodle. We stayed here so I could rest after having a medical intervention. Having the option to cancel up to 14 days in advance was very important to us, fortunately we didn’t have to!

Quick trip!
We had a fantastic stay at the “Willow”! The house was tidy and had everything needed for our long weekend away. The yard was sizable, private, and entirely fenced in, which our two dogs loved! Our host and property manager were easy to communicate with and allowed us an early check-in. We definitely plan to come back!
