About this property

Walk to the beach and town! 5+ BR, 4 BA luxury home

Nestled in a charming private community and just a short stroll to both the beach and town center, Windhaven Cottage is ideally located in the beautiful seaside village of Ogunquit, Maine.

Once you arrive, park your car and leave your worries (and car keys) behind! The home’s location means there is no need to fight traffic or look for parking during your stay. Walk to the shops and restaurants in the town center in 7 minutes, or walk to the beautiful beach in only 10 minutes. You can also travel around town on the Ogunquit trolley, with a stop conveniently located just outside the entrance of the home’s private community.

Situated at the end of a quaint street and backing up to a wooded landscape, Windhaven Cottage offers a private retreat for you and your guests. With hardwood floors and well-appointed furnishings, you will feel right at home the moment you step inside. This property has 5 bedrooms (+ den with sofa bed) and 4 full bathrooms. With more than 3,000 square feet of living space, up to 12 guests can spread out comfortably. The fully stocked chef's kitchen includes a large island with stools for gathering, and the living room is the perfect place to relax with its serene wooded views. There is also a separate dining room, den, and a 2nd living room on the lower level with large sectional sofa and big screen TV.

Amenities include free Wi-Fi, cable TV with Netflix access, a movie library, games, children’s toys, and books to enjoy while relaxing inside the home. Outside you will find a patio and yard area with lounge chairs, dining table, and a Weber gas grill. The home also includes a beach cart, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and toys (boogie boards, etc.) for your trips to the beach. You will not find a more perfectly located and appointed home for a relaxing and enjoyable beach vacation.

I believe this is our fourth year staying in this house in Ogunquit! It is perfect for our extended family. We have big family dinners in the dining room. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. Beds are comfortable and there is plenty of room for all. We can walk into town and go the beach without using our car which is so convenient. We’ve grown fond of this house and its location and look forward to coming back every year! The owners are very helpful and respond quickly to any questions you may have.

Perfect family House

We enjoyed every minute of our four nights at this home. The house is well appointed and immaculate. Super comfy beds, great kitchen, and spacious family room to hang out. It is a 10 minute walk to the beach from the very quiet cul-de-sac. Would highly recommend this property.

Great stay!

We were so happy with our stay, would 100% recommend and stay again. Everything was clean, kitchen was fully equipped, beach gear was all provided so less to pack. Doug and Kevin were great, they were responsive and handled a small issue with the bathroom faucet that was repaired quickly. The only negative comment is that you have to bring your own sheets and towels, otherwise you can rent. We loved our stay and couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Our third stay at Windhaven!

Windhaven has the perfect setup for our three college age/young adult kids to have friends to visit during our stay. There’s plenty of sleeping and hang out space inside, and the back patio is nice for when we want to eat meals outside. Kevin and Doug are fabulous hosts, the house is always clean and well-stocked, and it’s an easy 10 minute walk to town and Ogunquit Beach. One of our favorite features is that it’s so close go town center yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. We love Windhaven so much that it’s become the only place we’ll book when our family spends a summer week in Ogunquit!

BEST house in Ogunquit

Had a wonderful week in Ogunquit. Stayed with our adult children ages 27, 25 and 24 and had plenty of bedrooms , seating for dinner and gathering space. House is spotless and well appointed with everything you would need from kitchen utensils to games to beach chairs /wagon . Location is perfect. Short 10 min walk to beach and restaurants in town. We loved the afternoon walks to dinner where we could choose a different spot each night. Owners were quick to reply if we had any questions. HIGHLY recommend this home nestled in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything. We hope to return in the near future.

Heaven in Ogunquit

We've stayed at VRBOs in a few states but this was the pinnacle of comfort. The beds: better than any luxury hotel in our experience. The decor, kitchen appointments, lighting, shower heads, kitchen island, everything all worked together for a magic and luxurious stay. Honestly, this home was simultaneously luxurious and comforting. The Binder! Honest, accurate and helpful. Thank you Doug and Kevin for accommodating our diverse group. We had a few days of reprieve and comfort.

Beautiful Home and Town

We booked this house for a multi-generational family vacation. It was perfect for our group of 11! We had grandparents, middle aged adults, and kids 4 to 13. Everyone loved the house! The owners of the house went above and beyond with communication and a sweet welcome gift. There were instructions placed throughout the house with directions and how to's (like how to run the coffee pot). The house had umbrellas, beach equipment, toys, and a perfectly stocked kitchen for cooking in. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the large dining room tables and comfy couched and beds. It is also worth noting that you do have to rent linens but it was easy and the owners provide a company for this. The linens were on the front porch when we arrived. When we booked we were not familiar with Ogunquit, we lucked out big time with this town and house. The cutest shops, restaurants, and beaches. The proximity to town / beach was wonderful. We had a great family vacation and would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful House- Close to All the Action

I traveled with a group of eight women (ages 67-82) who have been vacationing together for over forty years. We chose this house for its proximity to Ogunquit Center and had a wonderful five days exploring the area. The house was immaculate, well-equipped, and very comfortable for the eight of us to visit or spread out for a little private time. The stairs were a little daunting to us at first (getting luggage and groceries inside), but we managed all right. Although we were unable to walk to town or the beach (given our ages), younger people could easily do it. We had fun just driving around seeing the sights from Kittery to Portland, walking the Marginal Way and exploring the shops in Perkins Cove, attending the Cape Arundel Playhouse, and taking the mailboat run to the islands in Casco Bay out of Portland. Then returning "home" to Greywind after a busy day was a pleasure. The owners, Kate & Jonathan, were very courteous and easy to work with, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a fabulous "home base" in the Ogunquit area.

Best VRBO we have ever found

We returned for the second year to this wonderful home, with our three generations. It is so comfy, clean, and has a great layout with plenty of space to spread out. Comfy beds, excellent quiet AC. We like to cook dinners “at home” and the kitchen is so inviting and well-organized. I love the soft beautiful hardwood floors underfoot. Check in and out was easy! Gorgeous quiet neighborhood walking distance to town/beach.

Favorite beach rental

Our multigenerational group has rented this property for three consecutive years, and it remains a favorite for all. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, fully stocked and beautifully decorated. The location is absolutely ideal— an easy walk to downtown and a very quick drive to our favorite beach, Footbridge Beach. We cannot wait to return!

Perfect for multigenerational family!

We stayed the week with my multigenerational family (10 people, infant to seniors). Home was very clean and organized- kitchen had everything we needed. Doug and Kevin were excellent hosts- we truly appreciated the children's items (step stools, toys, gates, highchair, dishes, pack and play). We traveled a long distance and it was so wonderful to come in to a home that was completely ready for us! We also loved the little nightlights for the back patio area- a small thing, but reflected such attention to detail. Thank you!!

Location, location, location

This house is located in a quiet wooded development with small trails for walking. The setting is lovely. And, you can easily walk to the beach or into town - a real bonus. It is a perfect vacation house for families or groups. There are multiple rooms for people to gather or to find some solitude. And, enough bathrooms that no one is ever waiting to take a shower. The kitchen is well-outfitted even for families like ours that like to cook. If you have young children, you will appreciate the fact that the hosts provide a stroller, booster seat, pack and play, toys, and children's books and movies. The hosts are helpful; check-in was a breeze. I cannot imagine anyone staying here and not wanting to return.

The house itself is very clean with well appointed bedrooms and decor, games for the family and a downstairs separate area with lots of toys for kids. A great spot for a family vacay!

About the host

Hosted by Doug and Kevin

Host profile image
We’re Doug and Kevin, and we’re the owners of Windhaven Cottage. We currently reside in Boston, MA, but we enjoy traveling and exploring new places whenever possible. Many years ago, in our travels around New England, we stumbled upon Ogunquit and immediately fell in love with the charming village and beautiful beaches. We were also intrigued to learn that we could escape from the city to an amazing seaside village in less than 1.5 hours. After vacationing in Ogunquit for several years and spending countless weekends exploring the Marginal Way, singing along at the Front Porch piano bar, and relaxing on the sand, we finally decided we wanted a home there to call our own.

Windhaven Cottage is more than just a vacation rental. It’s our second home, and we enjoy spending as much time there as possible. As a result, the property is well-loved and feels like home, which we believe will be evident during your stay. We hope you love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. You get a quiet neighborhood atmosphere with only a short walk to town. The layout of the house is also perfect for a large family or group!
