We booked a guest cottage for two to celebrate a milestone birthday in October and found The Dunes to be an absolute treasure. The manager marked our special occasion with small gifts and a heartfelt note, rounding out the beautiful location with exemplary service. We stayed for three nights and would have stayed longer if we could. The peaceful setting,... More

After spending two weeks in comfortable but large hotels this was a wonderful find. As has been said before the grounds are so well maintained and with the cottages spread out it is very relaxing. Being right on the beach was an added bonus even thorough we stayed in October and it was getting cold the beach always adds to... More

A great place to stay, something different than a "usual" hotel. We chose a room in one of the cottages without the kitchenette. Stayed off season 10/2011. So clean and cozy, plenty of room and definately charming. If you have the ability to look at the rooms before you choose, it is a plus as the setups vary. The grounds... More

Great location....we walked to the Lobster Pound for dinner and the Egg and I for breakfast. We had our wine on the lawn and watched the Atlantic at sunset. Fairly close to town. Rooms were clean, but without charm. More

We stayed in the old hotel part of the dunes and were very pleased with our stay, The place knows how to stay charming with subtle updates to ensure they are staying with the times as well. We went in early October and loved everything about the location and look forward to staying here again in the future as the... More

Quiet setting right in the midst of Ogunquit. There are multiple options for accommodations, we stayed in a hotel room that was right near the water. Room 23. It was very clean and bright with well maintained furnishings. I liked the touch of a single brew Keurig coffee maker. A small frig helped keep beverages cold. Each cottage or room... More

I've stayed here a number of times. I always come back because it's such a peaceful and quiet place to relax, with a wonderful nostelgic atmosphere. The grounds are situated right across from the ocean dunes, well beyond the busy street. I look forward to my yearly visits. More

You can't beat the location! It is on the Tidal River, can see the dunes across from the river, and there's the ocean. There are rowboats that you can take across the river to get to the dunes and ocean! How cool is that?! The cottage that we stayed in (5B I believe) was attached to another room but didnt... More

I have stayed in several places in Ogunquit, ME over the years, and this place is the best. Wonderful cabins right on the tidal river, clean, quaint and quiet. Grounds are beautiful, outdoor pool and little playground for kids. Boats are provided on a first come first served basis to use to go across the river to Footbridge Beach or... More

Check in was pleasant and helpful, location is awesome, accomodations great, great place to kick back, and Ogunquit, curiously enough, has it all, from restaurants to scenery to art. More
