I needed a restorative weekend getaway and this was certainly it! In early May,The Dunes had some of its charming cottages occupied ... the one nearest me was wafting fragrant wood smoke from its fireplace, which I loved ... but for my stay, I occupied a room in the six-unit, two-story guest room building. On the second floor in an... More

Our experience started with friendly hospitality, cute cottages that the staff keep spotless. Take a short walk to the beach and dunes and take a rowboat ride. Over all a great stay that we wish to enjoy again.

Just returned from a 2 night stay. We stayed in motel room #5B which is right on the waterfront. What beautiful views all around. Very peaceful and serene setting. The room was done in knotty pine with 2 beds in one room and a twin in the other. It had a fridge and a coffee maker. Very nice layout of... More

We stayed off season. Though we would have liked to stay in their adorable cabins, we stayed in a "classic" room, which is set up more like a traditional motel room. But, wow, the view out our window, and from the seats on the balcony was million dollar. We watched the tide change in the estuary, saw the light change... More

We (older couple) stayed 3 nights last May. The whitewashed cottages are set among mature trees and shrubs, immaculately maintained, something out of a film. No, it's not the Marriot, but the fireplace was a treat, wood replenished each day, clean linens from front each day in a "housekeeping" 1-bdrm unit with small, well-equipped kitchen. Front, screen porch w/ rockers... More

We usually stay at the Dunes for a week every Fall. We love the location, which is quiet and beautiful. I wish they provided peddle boats along with the option of taking out a row boat. My dealings with the helpful staff have always been very pleasant. I look forward to returning.

Ogunquit was our last stop on our coastal Maine vacation, and The Dunes topped off the trip with grace. This gorgeous piece of property on the ocean [with a tide pool in between], was built in 1936. Although it has been updated, it retains it warmth, charm and appeal from an earlier and simpler time. There is a huge lawn,... More

We had a wonderful time at the Dunes. Unfortunately, for those that stay only for a few days, the choice is limited to the motel unit and the primary reason I say unfortunately is that the cottages looks great. While the unit was small, it was very clean and we spent such little time in the unit, it really didn't... More

My 3 teenaged daughters, my husband and I stayed for 5 days. Wished it was longer but during high season you have to reserve for 2 weeks and this just worked out as they had a break between 2 previously booked reservations and we booked late in June. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage. It had 1 bathroom, a... More
