About this property

Welcome to The Bodensee, a hidden gem tucked away on a private, dead-end lane, overlooking the tranquil marsh of the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge. This fabulous coastal home is eagerly awaiting your arrival for a memorable Maine getaway!

Step inside this spacious two-bedroom, three-bathroom home, just a short stroll—300 steps or 0.03 miles—to Public Access Way #1 of Moody Beach, where you can spend your days soaking up the summer sun or frolicking in the waves of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean.

Upon entering, you're greeted by the sunroom, offering ample space to savor your morning cup of coffee with views of the marsh in the distance, or to unwind in the evening gazing at the stars. The sunroom leads to your beach storage area, complete with beach chairs and a wagon for easy transportation of all your beach essentials. This area also houses the washer and dryer, along with a convenient three-quarter bathroom with a walk-in shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

Continue into the dining room area, featuring a table large enough for the whole family, an open-concept kitchen, and a living area with a kitchen island and family space for relaxing evenings.

On this main level, you'll find a full bathroom and a twin bedroom with two twins for the kids (or request in advance to have them converted into a King for a second King bedroom).

Head upstairs to discover the King Primary Bedroom with lovely marsh views and an en-suite full bathroom!

Outside, your living space includes a firepit and plenty of room for yard games, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze and outdoor fun.

Conveniently located near all of our coastal town's amenities, The Bodensee is your ideal home away from home!

A very pleasurable week at Bodensee, superb location !

My wife and I had a truly pleasurable 1 week stay at Bodensee in early July, 2023. The house was in immaculate condition, and is a very well equipped vacation home ! The fantastic location provides perfect access to Ogunquit, Wells & Kennebunkport. Hannah, Daniele & the Salt and Shine Team are total professionals. Rent one of their properties, you'll be glad you did !!

Lovely house and great spot

The house was perfect for our family - it was clean, bright and comfortable. Loved the decor. We spent a lot of time sitting on the porch outside reading and then moving into sun room after dark. The house is located on a quiet street which was an extra bonus. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. The only down side was that the Public Access Way #1 is a private beach that you can not use. Meaning you can walk the private beach but you can not sit on the beach. The PUBLIC beach is farther down but isn't really walking distance if you are carrying a bunch of beach stuff.

WaR

Upon entering the house, we immediately felt relaxed. The home was warm, bright and welcoming. Love is in the details, which the owners obviously understood when decorating and supplying the home with the necessities. Just drop your bags and take the short walk to Moody Beach. The neighborhood is secluded and quiet. We loved sitting by the fire pit at night. The location of the house is perfect…far enough away from the crowds…yet close enough to enjoy all Ogunquit has to offer. We can’t wait to return again next year.
