About this property

Tiny home steps from the beach.

This home has everything you need for a week at the beach. Free standing small ( think tiny house) condo cottage, one of seven known as Moody Sands Villas. This cottage is 3 back from the beach. The loft area is tucked up under the roof, ceiling is low. You reach the loft via a library ladder. Best suited for older child or small adult, I love to go up there to read. Open the skylight and see hear and smell the ocean. Lay under the stars at night. There is a small soaking tub and hand held shower. Larger out door showers are also available. This home has only one parking spot, and early check in is not allowed without prior approval.

The location and beach are amazing! To have your own private beach (share with only a few parties) is a dream! The cottage was adorable and just what I needed as I stayed there on my own for most of the trip. Highly recommend!

Awesome cottage!

We had a wonderful time. The cottage is super cute and right on Moody’s beach. It was very quiet and relaxing. Outdoor showers were awesome to clean off salt and sand. Highly recommend.

Tiny House with a great location. The cabin was filled with everything you could need for a sandy time at the beach. A true throwback to my childhood beach vacations. Steps to the ocean and what a great town at the end of the beach!

Perfection

It's tight quarters, but what a spot! To get up, grab a cup of coffee, and walk right out my door and watch the sunrise over the ocean? Magical. Peaceful. Divine.

Cozy cabin steps away from the beach

We loved our short stay and the only complaint is that we wished it were longer! So awesome to walk outside and down the stairs right to the beach (especially at sunrise). We will be back!

Great little beach cottage

The cottage is tiny, so best for a couple alone or with one child. Cheerful, beachy design, about 20 feet from a private beach. Beach towels and chairs provided, along with kitchen items. Great location, quick drive or long walk to Ogunquit with miles of beach to meander.

Prime location

We absolutely loved this location. Cabin is small but works ok for 2 people.We spent so much time outside on the beach walking daily, and sitting on the Adirondack chairs every morning for coffee and beautiful ocean views.All neighbors were friendly and it was very quiet.we loved the outdoor showers.

Tiny Cottage

Very cute place, steps to lovely beach. Useful kitchen. Full bed takes up most of the space. Would benefit from a futon to make room to move & sit.

“Steps from the Beach”

The place is clean, communication with owner was good, but this little house hasn’t a single window from which you can see the beach. In hot summer weather, when you’re outside all the time, it might not matter as much, but we were there in the fall and would have preferred to see something other than the parking lot.

Perfect location for quality beach time

This rental perfectly suited my needs. I can't say enough positive things about it! The location is perfect for some quality beach time. The ocean is only steps away. The cottage is cozy, clean and bright. Trust the host's description! It is a tiny space (if you are a plus-sized person, you might want to verify details with the host) but it has everything you need. The host was an excellent communicator and gave me all the info I needed to have an enjoyable stay. This is a gem of a place, and I am so glad I found it. I would happily stay at this cottage again in the future!
