Vacation in the Heart of Ogunquit

The location is unbeatable! Walkable from beach, shopping and restaurants. Fast response from property manager when needed. 5 queen bedrooms, all with attached full bathrooms and window a/c units (some are a bit loud). Multiple spaces for gathering, watching TV. House is on a main street with slow traffic during busy summer days. Street noise was tolerable except for occasional loud motorcycles or trucks. Rear roof deck has a little view of Main St. and can be sunny. Ground level outdoor area is paved and has a grill, table and outdoor sofa, surrounded on 3 sides by buildings and open side is along neighbor's driveway. No other real outdoor space or yard to speak of. We stayed for a week in August and it worked well for our family.

House was great.

Please keep in mind that that this our first Vrbo experience . Communication with the rental manager was good, but the messages were quick to assume we had done something wrong. These issues involved parking and check out. The house was lovely with a very well stocked kitchen. Beach towels were provided which was a nice touch. The downstairs shower had a bad smell but one of our family members realized that the shower simply needed to be run. We did that and the stink was resolved. Shouldn’t that have been done ahead of time? The decks were not as they seemed. The “deck” close to the kitchen was a former parking space made over with bbq, furniture and an outdoor carpet. The second floor deck was reached through a converted window and the single step up was homemade and its safety was questionable. The third floor was reached by going through the house and using an incredibly narrow depth, steep staircase. Alternately there was an exterior staircase which was good and safer. Keys were not available to lock the third floor apartment.

I recently stayed at this property and overall, I really liked the place; however, cleanliness was an issue. The gas grill had mold growing on it, the kitchen floors were dirty, and everything needed a wipe down. All of these issues could have been corrected within an hour. I would have rated this property a 5 if these issues were not there. That being said, this property is all about the great location. It's centrally located to town, beaches, and restaurants, making it very convenient for exploring the area. Note to the owners: Please don't let the Property Manager inform the guest that she will be on vacation during their stay without providing a point of contact for the guest. It would be much better to have someone available to address any issues that may arise.
