The Dunes On The Waterfront

What We Think

The Dunes on the Waterfront feels like a hidden slice of coastal calm, where understated comfort meets postcard-worthy views. The property is made up of private cottages and suites, each thoughtfully spaced to create a sense of seclusion while still feeling warm and welcoming. Interiors lean toward classic, cozy coastal design—nothing overly flashy, but everything intentional and relaxing. The real magic lies outdoors: gentle river views, lush greenery, and easy access to Ogunquit Beach via a scenic footbridge make every moment feel slow and restorative. There’s no over-the-top dining scene here, but that’s part of the appeal—you’re encouraged to explore nearby restaurants or simply enjoy the quiet. Service is friendly and personal, adding to the feeling of a laid-back escape that prioritizes peace over pomp.

What It Is

The Dunes on the Waterfront is a charming, cottage-style waterfront retreat set along the Ogunquit River, offering a peaceful blend of coastal simplicity and scenic New England beauty.

What It Isn't

A polished five-star luxury resort or a high-energy beachfront hotel. The Dunes is more about quiet charm and nature than upscale extravagance or bustling nightlife.

You're Here Because

You want a serene waterfront getaway where nature, privacy, and simplicity take center stage—perfect for unwinding, reconnecting, and escaping the noise.

The Moment

Picture yourself gliding across the calm river in a kayak at golden hour, the sky reflecting on the water as the coastal breeze drifts by—quiet, soft, and completely unhurried.
