We had a trip to Europe planned for this summer, but Corona had other ideas. As soon as people from NH were allowed to rent in Maine, I started looking at houses in Ogunquit just so we could get away! We only live 30 minutes from there, but it was just far enough away that the week there was rejuvenating!
This house is a very easy walk to what is now my favorite beach! You simply go down the street and around the corner and there you are ready to cross the Footbridge. This saves on parking, so that’s another convenience! The neighborhood is great! House are close to each other, but that’s the way it is at the beach!
There are 3 parking spots at the house, which worked well for us as our children came back and forth from their summer jobs and we needed to have multiple cars. You can also get to town very easily. We brought our bikes, so we would ride the one mile there in the am for coffee and one morning stayed down there and walked The Marginal Way (we’ve done it so many times but it’s so gorgeous!). If you have bikes, I suggest you bring them. We rode the beach, too, on visits when we didn’t have all to our gear (a la just there for a walk). Speaking of walks, there is a community farm right in the backyard of the house, and we took walks there as well.
We cooked about half of our meals there. The kitchen has a small oven and stovetop, but we did fine. There is also a grill that we used for some meals. There are restaurants across from the house in both directions and several in the mile between the house and downtown. Laura was a great communicator and sent me a whole list of places to eat and things to do. As I said, I live close by, so I now have some new favorites I can visit even when not on vacation!
One tip: As described, there is no washer/dryer, but there is a laundromat very close by. I brought a rack and then visited midweek to refresh my towels.
I can’t say it enough - this house was just what we needed! Everything was as described and the communication with Laura was top notch. Thank you for rescuing our summer!!
