The Captain James Winn House was built in the 18th century and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This would be reason enough to visit, but it’s also the home of the Ogunquit Heritage Museum, which houses artifacts and exhibits about the town’s past as a fishing port, its architecture, and the famous art colony. Open Tuesday through Saturday between June and October, the museum is well worth a stopover for history buffs. Art-lovers should check out the Ogunquit Museum of American Art, which showcases early-20th-century works from local artists between May and October.
The quaint streets of Ogunquit are lined with boutiques and stores that offer shopping experiences unique to this seaside town. Retailers sell art and antiquities designed in the area, as well as custom-designed and handcrafted jewelry, and regional wines and produce. After a long day of retail therapy, unwind at one of Ogunquit’s many spas. Here, you can enjoy massages, facials, body wraps, and acupuncture, among countless other treatments, before ending the day watching the stars from the patio of your Ogunquit vacation rental. Most of the spas are unisex and all are LGBT-friendly; Ogunquit prides itself on its inclusive outlook and forward-thinking spirit.
Maine has a humid continental climate, which typically brings great seasonal variations in temperature. Ogunquit’s coastal location, however, moderates these shifts, meaning winters are warmer and summers are cooler than in inland destinations. As such, booking a cheap Ogunquit vacation rental during the winter months can be an appealing option. Many of the town’s top attractions are suitable for a rainy day, and you probably won't have to wait in line. If your heart is set on a vacation rental in Ogunquit during the summer months, book early for your best chance of a bargain.
