About this property

Sassafras Surf beach bungalow, steps to the beach!

Sassafras Surf has everything you need! Tucked away in a small, quiet, residential neighborhood, you'll instantly feel right at home. The short walk to Moody Beach will instantly put you in vacation mode. Note, Moody Beach is private, but Footprint Beach is just 0.2 mile further. Relax in the backyard to the sounds and smell of the ocean. The house offers lots of great space to settle in and unwind. Dine in or dine out, the world is your oyster! Its less than 0.7 mile to Footprint Beach (Public)! A 6 minute drive to downtown Ogunquit and the nearby beaches! And 20 minutes to Kennebunkport. The location offers a multitude of dining options, hiking trails, and beaches! I am thrilled to share my little piece of southern Maine with you!

Sassafras Surf House

My family stayed and enjoyed the proximity to the beach and all the shops and restaurants around wells and ogunquit. We’ve stayed here two years in a row and will be back again next year!

We had a great stay, the location is perfect, short walk to Moddy beach ( private beach with small public section ), and very short drive to Footbridge beach, we even walked to Footbridge beach from the house ( about 20-25 minutes ). The house is bigger than il looks, with a large living area. Comfortable beds, well furnished.

Weekend Getaway

We stayed at Kate’s place in celebration of my husband’s birthday & had a wonderful time. The house is clean & bigger than expected, the neighbors are friendly & the walk to the beach is both easy & lovely. Kate is a great host and has taken time to ensure beach supplies are available & the stay is as easy as possible.

Wells Getaway

We enjoyed our stay and can’t beat the location with a short walk to the beach. The house had all the accommodations we needed as a family with young children and we had easy communication with the owner. Would love to come back and stay again next year.

Feels like home!

Our family of 5 had the best time here. Beautiful house, amazing host, and great location. We were able to check off many of our must-see spots and then come back to our home base of Sassafras. We made memories that will last a lifetime and we couldn't be more thankful for the opportunity to do so in this house!

Worked for us

We stayed here for a long weekend and the house worked perfectly for us. A short walk to the beach and a short drive to Ogunquit and Kennebunk/Kennebunkport. It’s nothing glamorous but a perfectly functional place to stay that served our purposes well.

I rented this property for my son, my daughter in law and my two granddaughters. The outside of the property doesn’t look like much but the inside is adorable. The house is much more spacious inside than it looks like it would be. The inside was clean and the rooms are all decorated with a modern boho feel, very nice decor, the furnishings are very nice also, the bedrooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked but the coffee maker could use an upgrade. They were unable to sit outside because of the mosquitoes, even unloading their car they were attacked by mosquitoes, it’s is very close to the marsh so that could be why there were such a large amount of mosquitoes.

Hi Deborah, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. The house is very deceiving from the outside :) I'm so sorry to hear about the mosquitos. I will inquire with my lawn service if there are any treatments I could apply to reduce the bugs. And I've put a new coffee maker on my list of upgrades for next summer. Thanks for your feedback. It is very much appreciated.
