Very nice, quiet and clean property. Our room was on the smaller side so would be ideal for a couple or small family. The pool was also very nice for the times we weren’t at the beach!

Très bien.
Le condo est bien, comme sur les photos. Il aurait pu être un peu plus propre mais c’était quand même bien en général. La piscine était appréciée après une journée de plage! Juste assez d’équipements culinaires pour se débrouiller en cuisine. À considérer : trop loin de la plage pour y aller à pied, donc prévoir qu’il faut toujours payer du stationnement très cher pour aller à la plage.

Don’t stay here!
Our room was filthy. The bed was uncomfortable. The blinds were broken in the bathroom and we had to put towels up over the window. The tv didn’t work because the Wi-Fi was very poor. We left exhausted because of not sleeping well. I would recommend putting some money back into the property. We will never stay here again!

Magnifique séjour à Ogunquit !!!
Nous avons apprécié la propreté des lieux et l’ emplacement. Très bien équipé. La piscine est un atout. Par contre, les matelas sont usés ils ont besoin d’être changé.

Good home base
This property was sufficient for us because we mostly just needed a place to sleep. It would be small for anyone who planned on spending a lot of time here, but if you plan on going out a lot, it is a good place to sleep. Plenty of towels and other linens, easy to “check in”.

Nice, but
The cottage was very clean and welcoming. It was a bit cramped though- tough to open the door to leave the cottage and the cooking surface was very small. But the part that leaves a lasting impression, was the noise level of the shower from the room next door. The noise was so loud I was jolted awake thinking that pipes must have burst in the bathroom.

Small condo outside of Ogunquit
Great deal for a last minute trip. Clean property with most of the bare essentials. Easy check in and entry processes. However, room was much smaller than expected and wasn't really within walking distance to much as expected with younger children in tow. Not enough bathroom amenities left on-site (no replacement toilet paper so had to buy extra).

Great location!
Great location if you are looking to venture out and see Wells, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport. Only down fall was the okay cleaning but we went through the place before we settled in.

Perfect Little Getaway
Very true to the pictures. Cute little place to stay, clean, quiet, great location - minutes from the beach as well as restaurants and shops. The room had everything we needed with many of the comforts of home. (You may want to bring extra toilet paper and coffee filters.) Check-in & check-out was the easiest I've experienced. I only wish we could have stayed longer, but we will definitely return!

Kitchen lights and ceiling fan not working properly. Desk lamp flickering on and off. Room with couch and chair too crowded. Couldn’t walk around the bed without banging your leg.
