The property is spacious, cozy and on a quiet street. The screened in porch is large with plenty of seating and probably our favorite spot. The beach and town is walkable even with kids but the hills do give you a great work out coming home. Bernie is sweet, friendly and very responsive if needed. We loved our stay.

Bernie’s house in Ogunquit was such a great place to call home for a week. It is roomy, cozy, and located close to downtown. The porch was a great place to enjoy your morning coffee and wind down from a busy day. The outdoor shower is handy for rinsing off after a day at the beach. My family and I had a great stay.

Perfect Maine Vacation

We just returned from our family vacation in Bernie and Mark’s beach house! It was a wonderful week of sun and sand! The cottage decorated with a beach theme and has everything you need (linens included!), including wicker furniture on the great enclosed wrap around porch. We played games on the front porch and had family dinners. And there were so many great spots to sit and read a book. Great outdoor shower out back...perfect at the end of a beach day! The kitchen is well equipped and so pretty. It was great having our morning coffee on the porch in the wonderful neighborhood. We loved watching people walk by on morning walks with their dogs. The house is in a perfect spot. We would walk to the beach during the day and downtown or to the Marginal Way at night for dinner. I would definitely recommend the house. Bernie was so great to work with and very responsive to any questions that we had!

Great stay in Ogunquit

Cois Farraige was exactly as described. The wrap around porch was so comfortable, and we had all our meals there as well. We drove to the beach and parked at the first lot - $20 all day fee - because we had so much to carry, including our 6 year old granddaughter's gear. She managed to carry her boogie board. You can walk to the beach and my daughter, who was working from the house, usually walked down later to meet us. The ocean was unexpectedly warm. Bernie was an excellent host and responded immediately to any questions we had. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues and Bernie came by within minutes and fixed it. The outdoor shower is refreshing and the grill is excellent. With limited restaurant seating, due to the pandemic, and many visitors in the area, we were thrilled to have a comfortable, safe house in which to cook and enjoy takeout.

Perfect Getaway

Everything about our stay, from the booking, to the accommodations, to the location was perfect. The house is exactly as advertised, fully stocked and more than comfortable for my husband and I to both work for a few days and also enjoy vacation time. We were close enough to walk to the beautiful beach, wonderful restaurants and shops but also tucked away for a quiet and peaceful stay. Bernie was a perfect host, providing a social distance walk through and a contactless check out. We will most definitely be back!

Cozy, quiet and close to town!

We had a lovely time at The Irish Cottage during our week in Ogunquit. The house was more than well-equipped and we all had space to spread out. The jewel is the porch where we enjoyed a few meals, some cocktails and one of our teen sons enjoyed it as his “sleeping porch.” It was a hot week, but the ceiling fans and AC units helped to quickly cool things down. The outdoor shower was a huge plus for a post beach rinse-off. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and a 5-minute all down hill walk to downtown. We would recommend this spot for sure!

Family of five from NY visits Maine

This was our first visit to Maine. We loved Ogunquit and this quaint house. Bernie is a terrific host. She personally greeted us on day one and walked us through the property. There is an updated kitchen and bathroom with all modern amenities like a dishwasher and enough kitchen gadgets to host a dinner party . The bathroom has a great tub/shower and there is also an outdoor shower. I loved the wide plank original floors and original door knobs to give it that authentic historical feel. The screened in porch is where we had breakfast everyday and the sun just pours in. Let’s talk about the walk to town. The walk to town is lovely and only 5 minutes about depending where you want to go. The walk there is down hill. The walk home is uphill and was hard for my five year old but the rest of us enjoyed the walk. The Walk yo the beach is a bit further so I would recommend (and Bernie will too) that you drop off kids and beach stuff and drive back to walk without it. One day we did pay $15 to park down at the beach because we got lazy. Prices at beach vary from 10-$30 for parking. We absolutely loved our stay. If I had to offer some constructive criticism I would say maybe the pillows could use some updating... but I like a fluffy feather pillow. Easily solved by bringing your own! Bernie was also very very responsive to any question we had during our stay. She is lovely to work with. Tip for families: bring all your own beach gear including boogie boards and big tube like floats to float down the river at the tide changes. We wished we knew that. Or they sell them at the beach and will blow them up for you. Can’t wait to come back to Ogunquit!!

Irish Cottage By The Sea

It is not often that you come across such a warm, calm and charming place to call home for a short period of time. That is what we found as we spent The week in Bernie’s Irish Cottage by The Sea. It was all that a small family could have asked for. Impeccably clean, close to the shore, quiet, and a place that felt like home. Our family gives it five stars… And we look forward to returning in the future.
