We had a fabulous experience - Clara's Cottage is well appointed, clean, comfortable and conveniently located to lots of shops and restaurants. We had our own car, but actually walked to dinner one night. We especially enjoyed the The Fire Pit on one of the cooler evenings and roasted marshmellows out there for our S'mores! Jennifer and Robert are excellent hosts quite accommodating and responsive. We would not hesitate to stay again at their delightful property.

Celebration of Life

Five of us gathered for a celebration of life. This space was perfect for us! Kitchen had everything we needed, including condiments. There was plenty to entertain us from board games to an outdoor putting green to YouTube TV access. Robert and Jennifer were quick to respond to any of our questions and were incredibly kind. Very comfy beds.

A very beautiful, cozy and clean home!

This home was so nice! It was very clean and had several extra amenities that I am not used to, I.e. extra towels, bedding, soap, etc. The host was very kind and kept checking to be sure everything was ok. I would highly recommend this house!

Another great week in Ogunquit!

The house and location are great! It’s a short walk to the beach and there is plenty of space in the house for 6 adults. Jennifer is the best - friendly, easy to communicate with and makes the check in and check out easy. We’ve stayed here 3 years in a row and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Wonderful house with gracious and enthusiastic hosts

The Kearns have built this house with guests in mind. The new construction is very well equipped for living, cooking and dining. The house is a short and easy walk to both the beach and the center of town but off the main traffic route, making it a quiet place to stay. We heartily recommend staying here and we plan to be back!

Fabulous house in a great location!

We had a wonderful week in Clara's Cottage. Owner Jennifer met us when we arrived and showed us everything, and she gave us lots of great tips about what to do as well. The house was immaculate and so well-appointed. From beach towels and chairs, to paper goods, to abundant bath towels--the owners thought of everything we needed to have a great stay. The house was super comfortable for our family of 5 adults, with ample space to hang out together and cook, BBQ, or just relax. We walked to the beach in under 15 minutes--a great bonus on the busy 4th of July weekend. It's very close to all the restaurants and shops in Ogunquit, too. We hope to come back again!

Wonderful from booking to checking out!

The hosts Jennifer and Robert were quick to reply to any questions I had before booking. After booking they were just as quick to answer. They met us at the property right on time. The pictures in the listing are very accurate. As Jennifer was giving us a tour when we arrived, I commented that there were so many thoughtful touches throughout the house. She said we think about what we would want and we do that. How wonderful. It is just off the main road so easy to walk to town but much quieter. Plenty of room to spread out, plenty of towels and dishes. I cannot say enough good about Jennifer and Robert except I felt like family when we left. Thank you so much.

Beautiful/Comfortable Home

We had a fantastic week in this beautiful home that was conveniently located near Footbridge Beach and downtown Ogunquit. The house itself was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with absolutely everything you may need during your stay. The outdoor space including the picnic table and fire pit area was also nice after a day at the beach. The owners were great to work with and very responsive throughout our stay, highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer & Robert Kearns

Host profile image
Robert and I are both locals who want to share a little piece of Maine with your family and friends. We strive to provide everything you need to settle in for a lovely vacation.

Why they chose this property

Our property has been in the family for over 100 years. Robert and I decided the original house could not be renovated to what we wanted it to be. We built the new house in 2000. It is not handicapped accessible due to the stairs.

What makes this property unique

Close walk to all that Ogunquit has to offer. We offer a list of wonderful shops and restaurants in town.
