Ogunquit Maine?

23 years ago

Can anyone give some information on staying here? There are so may different lodgings I wouldn't know where to begin. We don't want a B&B or a cottage but a really nice hotel type. And the weather in early August late July?Any other information you can give me would sure be appreciated.

They have a chamber of commerce, if you fiddle around with the name you'll probably be able to access it. (I live one town away). Among the nicest hotels is the Anchorage By the Sea. There are several others that are every bit as nice, but even though I drive past them daily I can't recite their names!

Realtors:
ERA Masiello group
Century 21
Anne Irwin
Rivers By the Sea
probably more links by surfing around for the Ogunquit chamber of commerce, or the one for Wells, or better yet, York.

If you go to Ogunquit make sure you use the trolley in the summer. Traffic and parking are a nightmare, the trolleys are reliable, affordable, and convenient since locals always let them into traffic!

I could be off-base, but can't imagine that it costs iVillage much to keep this site going - it's a low-tech site and they obviously don't invest much in administration, maintenance, or improvements for the site. Because it's mostly text, and most of the photos posted here are stored on other servers, it can't even take up much storage space. Also, iVillage probably benefits from economy of scale with its websites, because it has huge web servers with already existing systems in place to back up, etc. On the other hand, GW has pretty good traffic for a gardening site, so they can make money from advertising. I don't know where I'd go if GW closed. I've checked out Dave's and like some features, but it rubs me the wrong way that members have to pay to belong to the site, and meanwhile Dave gets to boast about the site's traffic and make additional money from advertisers. IMO the forums at Dave's are a bit soft - there is greater collective intellect here. Have checked out other Garden forums (communities?) - Garden Guides, Hallson's, Wildlifegardeners.org, etc. and they are okay, but suffer from lower traffic. Anyway the "busyness" of other forums drives me crazy - the avatars, moving smilies, signatures, etc. create a bunch of clutter - leaving not much "meat" to read per web page.

JB's in Ogunquit!

sunnyside, York Co. is very well infested with JBs, probably more so than any other county in ME. I live approx. 20 miles north of Ogunquit and have been dealing with severe infestation of JBs since we bought this garden 8 years ago. I have lived in coastal York Co. for 10 years and there have always been JBs. If you never noticed the JBs in Ogunquit before, maybe they just hadn't "discovered" that particular rose patch. They seem to thrive a little better slightly inland rather than directly on the ocean. Although it's really not pleasant when lounging on the beach to have the dumb things land in your hair, like the other day.

Thanks all! We had DD take the dog and we left the cat with a kitty litter box in the kitchen. Typically the cat doesn't like that, but he did just fine. After raising 3 children (youngest DD is away in college), we really like the freedom of picking up to get away. It wasn't always this way :) Off to look at all the romantic tables.......

I'm here! Our oldest daughter lives in Houston. They are OK but their house has taken a beating. Big oak tree uprooted & on the roof. It's not even their tree! Also lots of large branches stuck in the roof & around the property that don't belong to any trees they had. They've lost all of the landscaping, fence, & the roof is damaged but DSIL hasn't yet been able to get up on the roof to see how bad it is. I'm on standby to fly to Houston to help DD...if I'm here, I'd love to meet you at Abbott's. I'll know a lot more by Monday or Tuesday after they have a couple days to access the damage more. They don't have power or land line phone; but do have a small generator that can keep their frig running for a few days. /tricia

I did email the Chamber of Commerce for a guide. I will check out links for York and Wells, too. Thank you for taking the time to respond and for the info!

The Yellow Monkey is a nice guesthouse - it's on the main drag in town. Summer in New England is wonderful - but o the coast it can be cool at night - bring a light jacket or sweater. Enjoy your visit! It's a beautiful area.

We really enjoyed the Juniper Hill Inn. It is right on Route 1 and a short (5 min) walk through a beautiful neighborhood to the beach. Indoor pool, outdoor pool and jacuzzi. The rooms are very nice as well.

Hope this helps. It is such a wonderful place to go. Make sure to have breakfast at the Omelette Factory. Amazing omelettes (and other stuff, too!).

Hi

We vacation in Maine almost every summer. Last year we rented a cottage through Seaside Rentals in York. Our cottage was in Ogunquit and close to Little Beach. Their catalog is on their website at Seasiderentals.com
I would suggest you book soon, since things fill rather quickly. Have a great vacation.

You will have a lovely vacation for sure! I went there every summer as a kid...my parents owned a summer cottage. There is something for everyone and for all ages. Enjoy!

When you live in a resort community you very often tend to take the beauty around you for granted. It's sad, but true.

It delights me to see how many of you have enjoyed your visits to, "my neck of the woods"! I sometimes get frustrated with slow drivers, but always force myself to SLOW DOWN, relax and take a lesson from visitors. I freely volunteer information and directions, too...

We stayed at the Nellie Littlefield house in September of 2001. It was the first time either of us had ever stayed at a B&B and it was a wonderful experience! We were right in the middle of town. There are so many places to stay in Ogunquit ... I don't think you can go wrong with any choice.

We were fortunate to miss the summer crowds. I know I wouldn't have enjoyed our time there if we had to fight crowds everywhere.

Definitely take the trolleys. Forget driving unless you're traveling beyond the areas the trolleys serve. Plan a visit to Stonewall Kitchen in York ... it's just down the road.
