Seaside stay .Within a 15-minute walk of the vacation home, you'll find Perkins Cove and Marginal Way. Ogunquit Beach and Ogunquit Museum of American Art are also within 2 miles (3 km).
10-minute walk to Marginal Way, Perkins Cove. 25 mins walk or 15 min bike ride to Ogunquit beach. Several of the best restaurants in Ogunquit are at the bottom of our road.
WINTER RENTAL (Sept - May): $3000 a month including everything except snowplowing.
This cozy house sleeps up to 12 in 5 bedrooms and 3 full, renovated bathrooms. We have window air conditioners all over the house for your comfort. The large driveway can accommodate 4 vehicles, and there is nowhere else in the Oguniquit area where you will find a house this size at this reasonable price and this close to the water.
Our 1930s 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. Two 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. One of the original owners of this property was an owner of several Boston sports teams in the 1930s including the Boston Braves and Bruins and the hockey team so you can enjoy the custom-built Mahogony trophy shelves he had lining a wall in this room.
Board games, books, and outdoor games are available to keep your family entertained. 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.
Outside our guests can experience the yard in a variety areas, from the hammock in the shade, a full circle fire pit, and the propane BBQ grilling area right off the sunroom of the house, as well as a front porch with cushioned chairs and rockers. With the equipment for exercise and 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.
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 OF $250 per pet. Because this is Maine, we strongly encourage our guests to give your pet a flea and tick treatment before arrival.
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. Fresh linens are delivered to your door by a linen service the day you arrive.
This property offers absolute quiet, a feeling of sanctuary, while still being just 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.
Note the offer above 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.
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.
Lisa and Mike
