The pictures of the cottage were beautiful, but from the moment you pull into the driveway you realize they didn’t adequately describe the perfectly landscaped setting! The inside of the cottage was even better! The attention to detail, craftsmanship & beauty of the furnishings made our stay wonderful. We especially loved the beautiful back deck in the woods. On top of all this Kristen was the most attentive & best host of any we’ve ever had is all of our VRBO accommodations!

Loved our stay! The home is beautiful, very well appointed and Kristen was a wonderful host from check-in to check-out. The location is walking distance to the town center, beach, restaurants and Marginal Way, and a short drive to many other attractions (e.g., Ogunquit Playhouse and Perkins Cove). It is perfect for a couple or a small family. Looking forward to our next vacation in Ogunquit!

We had a wonderful week in Ogunquit staying at this guest cottage. Great location! We were able to walk to the beach, downtown, Marginal Way, and Perkins Cove easily. The cottage is beautiful and well-equipped and just the right size for the four of us. It’s very quiet and has a lovely private deck off the living space. Looking forward to our next visit in Ogunquit!

We loved staying here! I wasn’t super familiar about the area, but the descriptions don’t lie - location is AMAZING! Such an easy, pretty walk into the heart of the town and only a few more minutes down to the beach. Everything was wonderful from check in to check out when the host greeted us. We are looking forward to returning sometime soon.

We had a wonderful stay- The cottage was so beautiful, and sparkled. It was so tastefully done, and the photos don't do justice to how it feels to be in the space. Spacious, airy, comfortable. It felt like it was brand new, although I read guest comments from 2 years ago who also loved it. We used it as a home base and walked everywhere, Perkins Cove, Marginal Way, and shopping. Will hopefully return, and Kristen was the perfect host

The property was exactly as advertised. The host Kristen could not have been more accommodating. It was only a few minutes walk to Main Street and the beach beyond. In spite of the endless rain, we certainly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Arnold

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in LOVE with Ogunquit 20 years ago. Once our girls went off to school, we moved to Ogunquit full time. We bought this property in 2018 and starting building our dream home in 2020. We are excited to share our guest cottage.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of the location, location, location and that it sits on over 1/2 acre. I walk the Marginal Way to Perkins Cove everyday and feel extremely blessed to live in Ogunquit. We look forward to sharing the best of everything with you.

What makes this property unique

The larger lot size allowed us to make the guest house and a main home. The entertaining spaces were designed to allow for privacy both homes. The fact that you can walk to all the restaurants, beach and marginal way without driving is so GREAT!
