We stumbled upon 15 Outlook Avenue when looking for a reasonably priced house to rent in southern…read moreMaine...and we couldn't have been happier. It's only steps to one of the most beautiful beaches in the northeast, and the oceanview from the screened-in porch is simply stunning. The house is light and bright and yet still very cozy. It's tastefully decorated with a beach theme and the kitchen is newly redone. It has a huge wrap around porch that is the perfect place to relax and unwind and listen to the sound of the waves. We lived there for ten months and literally walked our dog on the beach every single day...even in the snow! Aside from the house and location being exceptional, the landlords are wonderful and make sure everything is taken care of during your stay. If you are looking to rent a beautiful house in a great neighborhood that is a stone's throw from the beach, you won't be disappointed!

My husband and I stayed at the Sea View Motel a few years back in autumn and we were pleasantly…read moresurprised at how nice the room was. This year, we wanted to get away for a few days with our infant daughter and we found out at the Sea View opened a cottage on the property, so we went with my in-laws. The cottage was perfect with a baby because there was a full kitchen (microwave, stove/oven and sink). We unfortunately ran into a few day of rain, but if the weather is nice, there is a beautiful deck with a gas grill and patio furniture. The cottage is equipped with AC units, as well as radiator heat which came in handy a few chilly nights. There are TVs in the living room and bedroom (the living room has a pull down murphy bed in addition to the couch). While we fit 4 adults and a baby comfortably, I think this cottage would be perfect for a family of 4 (two adults in the bedroom and two children on the murphy bed). Everything looked clean and new. The continental breakfast which is offered with both the regular rooms and the cottage is really nice. There's a variety of tea, coffee, milk, orange juice and water for drinks. They also offer yogurts, bagels, fruit and other items - everyone can find something. We enjoyed taking some food back to the cottage and eating at the dining room table. If you want to relax one day without heading into town or the beach, there is a very nice heated pool with tables and chairs, lounge chairs, and umbrellas. The price of the rooms has been reasonable each time we have stayed. Location is on point - there is a trolly stop directly in front of the motel, and it only takes about 7 minutes to walk into the center of town, about 15 minutes to walk to the beach, and a longer leisurely stroll to Perkins cove.

I dont understand peoples perception of exceptional because this place is NOT. The shower curtain…read morehad sooooo many stains, it was gross. Water pressure sucked. Room never got cool. There was a humid, musty feeling in the room. AC is out of date. There was also a load of dirt all over the counter from the AC unit.

Management or whoever was there decided the best thing to do was to blame the guests (stop placing blame on others).

Sea-Ward on the ocean is a place out of time. I came here because my wife came here as a child with…read moremy Father-in-Law, and I believe her when she says it hasn't changed. Right by the ocean in Scarborough, you can hear the waves as you go to sleep. The beach is available for walking just over the sand dunes, and you can still find an occasional sand dollar. Orchard Beach is also lovely, a quick walk or drive takes you to Bayley's lobster pound, pick up a lobster they will steam it and crack it, and eat it on the porch. Walking in here you can feel the tension wash off. The fireplace has a burns quote on it, and there is a scrabble set and other board games if you have had enough of watching the Atlantic Ocean out the windows. There are no televisions, there is no wi-fi, The proprietor makes coffee in the morning. And she will loan you lobster forks and crackers if you forget to get your lobsters cracked at the pound.

I have just read the horrible review that somebody left for the Footbridge Beach Motel and had to…read moresay something. I have been going to the Footbridge for years and have only found the motel to be extremely clean and the owners extremely friendly. When I went, they didn't have housekeeping services either, but I'm really not that much of a pig that I would need housekeeping services for five days and I do know how to make a bed or not. I had plenty of fresh towels. The room was immaculate. The decor is beachy and wonderful. The owners do not advertise the motel as a hotel. Their pricing is in line with all the other places in Ogunquit, the temperature of the water in the pool I think is like artwork. It depends on the persons preference. I personally find the pool refreshing. The beds I find extremely comfortable but again I think that's a preference. As far as the dogs go how dare you????THEY ARE NOT SNIPPY AT ALL. Both Brandy and Brady are so full of love if anything they will lick you to death. As far as them being shaved, you have no idea what you're talking about. They are not shaved down to the skin. They have at least 2 inches of fur still left on them. It is a lot cooler for them and much better in the summer. I can only assume that this they person was on some mind altering product while they were there because their review was so so so far off. Love the Footbridge, love the Owners and I Especially love those Pups.

Notwithstanding their social media postings, here's what this place is - 4 walls and an…read moreuncomfortable bed. That's it. If that is what you are looking for then this is it, though this is one of about 50 versions of that in a 5 mile radius. Here's what this place is not - it's definitely not a hotel despite its $300 a night room charge - and it's not really a "beach motel" either. It happens to be down the street from a pretty beach. There is no beach equipment to borrow - you need to rent that from a third party. There's not even housekeeping service - we were causally told during an awkward check in (not a "welcome" or anything, no hotel or beach or area information provided with our key) that due to "shortage on staff" we would not have housekeeping for our entire multi day stay. Cool. We did get a lot of towels in our room to cover our entire stay though! This place isn't a bed and breakfast either - despite the owners always being present at the pool, seemingly on vacation themselves. If you want to spend the day with guests, at least do some wine and cheese and have some entertainment other than cheesy music blasting all day long. Complete the bed and breakfast vibe, cause if you don't, you just appear to be intruding on the guests' experience. Actually, they had some family reunion during our stay and honestly, it felt like we were intruding during their own families pool time. Instead of spending the day lounging on a floaty with us in the freezing cold pool with the hazardous steps, how about you spend the time housekeeping so that your guests have the clean rooms they signed up and paid for? Apparently, "short staffed" means that the owners are on vacation too. Can't have it both way, gentlemen! If what you promised on your site is now what you can't deliver, you should modify the price accordingly especially with something as basic and expected as housekeeping services. Would have stayed somewhere else even for the same price just based on that fact alone had we knew in advance that this was something that wasn't accurate and going to be delivered on when we arrived. Also charged us twice for a pet fee due to "changing computer systems" - nice touch! We had to course correct them on that, so watch the charges if you do decide to stay cause everywhere else is filled and you'd like to spend some time with their cute but snippy dogs whose coat they shaved cause it's the summer time and they are "much cooler" this way (that's cruel - their fur keeps them cool in the summer because it protects their skin from the sun - everybody knows this, duh). We should have listened to the golden rule of yelp - if the owners have a history of vicious replies to previous honest reviews of their business by other yelpers (especially at a $300+ nightly premium for this dump), you stay clear. Wait... I feel it coming now - a nasty and misspelled reply coming my way right now, replete with bad grammar in an immediate response to my review - or at least as soon as these guys can put their alcohol down and get off their pool floaties to get to their phones to type a reply. Pass this one by and go to a place where the business actually lives up to their social media snapshots.

The owner Susanne is an amazing chef and her warm/welcoming personality was so much appreciated, she went out of her way to make our stay wonderful (she even put a candle in my scone on my birthday which was so thoughtful).

We enjoyed the fire pit out front, which we relaxed by each evening, and Susanne sat & chatted with one evening in the sitting room as we sat with drinks & played a board game ( Susanne is a gem and we both adored her). We will definitely be returning soon, if you are in the Kennebunk area, you MUST stay here, you won't be disappointed.

We were fortunate to have been able to book the same room Neptuen, (Lower level, in the back, right next to the hot tub) we were surprised to see that the room had been enlarged. The room has its own private entrance, private bath and a king sized bed. Add in a nice couch and a few chairs, it's a good sized room for the price. The grounds are well kept, and the Inn is just a short 2 minute walk from the center of town. Rick, one of the Innkeepers was always around to give great suggestions for restaurants, or things to do, not to mention, his scones that he makes daily for breakfast are delicious. It's a great place that's right off of Main St, but it's a great place that's pretty quiet. They offer complimentary WiFi, and parking. Hopefully, it won't take us another 19 years to go back to Ogunquit, it was a relaxing 4 days that were used to de-stress. Rick & Bill.
