    Location was beautiful, very nice views. Access to beach a little tricky. No breakfast but coffee service and packaged snack bar were nice, much better than room coffee. Beautiful walk-in shower and new bathroom

Aaron & Cindy Perkins and their Son
For three generations, our family has worked to create and maintain the experience you’ll find at The Dunes on the Waterfront today. We continue to appreciate and nurture what we have inherited, adding modern comfort and convenience while preserving the original charm of the buildings.
Growing up here, I’ve gotten to know families who have returned to see the sunrise over the dunes for generations. My goal is to maintain the integrity of this place as a retreat from the commotion of daily life, where families, friends, couples, and anyone else can come to connect, refresh, and unwind by the sea for years to come.
We’re located at 518 Maine St. on Ogunquit’s tidal river, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and an uncrowded middle section of Ogunquit Beach. Just .75 miles from downtown and Perkins Cove, we’re within easy walking distance of fine shops and restaurants frequented by locals and visitors alike. You’ll see our sign on Route 1 at the end of our driveway, which leads away from the bustle of the road onto 12 acres of seaside greenery.
