About this property

This property is no longer available. However, Vrbo won't let me remove it.

Thank you so much for your interest in our beach cottage. Our cottage is fully booked for the 2024 season, except possibly the first week of June (June 1-8).

Original 1940’s beach cottage located directly on the seashore at the quiet, southern end of Moody Beach. One of only 2 beach-front homes on Moody offering both full ocean views in front and unobstructed sunset views over the Ogunquit Tidal River in back. The home was completely renovated in 1999 to include modern kitchen, more spacious bedrooms, finished bathrooms on all floors and back deck. Interior furnishings were replaced and updated in 2022. Most recently, we replaced the back deck in May 2023. We have rented our cottage for just a few weeks July - September starting in 2021.

LOCATION
Our cottage is an hour and 20 minutes north of Boston at the southerly end of sandy, private Moody Beach. We are 10-20 steps out the front door to the beach and ocean waves.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS:
Ogunquit town center is easily reached on foot via the beach. Perkins Cove, featuring more retail shops and restaurants, is a short trolley ride, or drive, down Shore Rd southeast of Ogunquit center. "Finest Kind" lobster boat tours start there. Also the scenic Marginal Way coastal walking trail leads back to Ogunquit center. The Ogunquit Playhouse on Route 1 shows Broadway musicals and other performances throughout the summer. The Ogunquit Museum of American Art is also worthwhile.

Accessible by Car in the northbound direction: Wells Beach Lobster Pound (2 miles north on Ocean Ave) -- best steamed lobster (eat there or order for pick up and enjoy at the cottage), New England House Seafood & Sports Bar (1 mile up Bourne Ave) -- terrific Haddock sandwich, Congdon's Doughnuts (3.2 miles north on Rt 1), Borealis Breads (3.4 miles north on Rt 1), Chase Farms (7 Miles inland on Rt 9B to 9).

THE PROPERTY
Bedrooms: Bedroom 1 - Queen Bed; Bedroom 2 - Queen Bed. Additionally, 2 Twin Beds (best for young children) are located in the open upstairs hallway.

Kitchen: Fully-equipped (stove-top, oven, refrigerator), kitchen basics (pots, pans, dishware, silverware), microwave, coffee-maker, toaster, full spice-rack.

Outdoor Living: Front lawn with sun umbrella, table, 4 chairs, 2 chaises; Back deck with table, 4 chairs; Small garage stores additional beach chairs and beach umbrella; Clothes-line for beach towels and bathing suits.

Indoor Living: Open living/dining room, children's play corner, Internet/Streaming TV, washer/dryer, shower & tub, hair-dryer.

The Perfect Beach Cottage

We could not have been happier. Our week at this beach cottage was absolutely magical. The owners have thought of everything to assure your vacation is perfect and stress-free. And the views...sunrises and sunsets...you truly cannot ask for a better location or a more perfect place to relax and just spend quality time with your family.

Moody beach gem

We loved our stay at Chelsey’s beach front cottage. You cannot beat the location and the space the house has to offer on beautiful Moody Beach. The kitchen was a dream to cook dinners during our stay and beds were comfortable. By the end of our stay, our children did not want to leave so safe to say they were comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed their stay too!

Idyllic week at the beach!

This was an absolutely perfect family vacation for us! Immaculately clean, comfortable beds, stocked kitchen, steps away to the most beautiful beach in Maine; ocean air and sounds providing the backdrop for a wonderful time. Absolutely everything we needed was provided and Chelsey could not have been more accommodating. We had big plans to do other activities away from the house but we simply could not tear ourselves away! Congdon's doughnuts, Billy's Chowder House, and Big Daddy's ice cream are not to be missed. This rental was worth every penny!

Perfect in every way!

How do you describe a vacation property and experience that exceeds all your expectations? You can’t …so I’ll just say that this is the most adorable beach cottage on a beautiful stretch of Moody beach, the owner was wonderful, the cottage was immaculate inside and out and we had every thing we needed for one of the best Maine beach vacations we have ever had!! Highly recommend…I’d give more stars if I could 😉.

Quintessential Beach House in Perfect Location

We stayed at this beach home for the first time. It is a classic New England beach home that has been well maintained and cared for. Both the front and back of this home provide amazing views- beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The location was perfect. The owner was responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved it!

Classic Moody Cottage

We had a perfect week’s vacation at this lovely cottage at the quiet end of Moody. The cottage was immaculate and has all the amenities you need. Owner provides very helpful, detailed instructions and information. Right on the beach with a large lot—and a sunset view of the marsh as well. Met and exceeded all expectations.

Beach front relaxation

We had a fabulous time! The cottage is well taken care of, very clean, comfortable, and ideally situated right on the sandy beach. Great place to walk but not overly crowded . It is convenient to town but in a quiet area.
