Absolutely heavenly view the home is so very cute and clean. Easy walk to moody beach. Walk along the shore all the way to Ogunquit was my favorite. Packing the car for a day at the beach with kids not fun but small price to pay for the 24/7 beach environment the house gives you

All appliances were accessible and clean…easy to use. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless. Amy was always very quick with replies to any question, even providing extra helpful information. Many places were within walking distance which we loved. The view from the deck was lovely and on cool evenings we could close the sliding door and still enjoy the view!We highly recommend the Sunshine Shack.

This well-cared for cottage is absolutely beautiful & was definitely more spacious than the pictures depicted. The hosts are very gracious and responsive to any questions we had. A great mini vacation was had by all and we plan to revisit this diamond in the rough again sometime. Thank you.

The Sunshine Shack did not disappoint! What a precious and charming property that made for a memorable stay. We were celebrating a friend of 30 years 65th birthday with 7 friends. We all loved the comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated and well-appointed cottage and the relaxing and convenient location.The host was very responsive and attentive. Everything was as explained, and the cottage had everything we needed to enjoy a few days together with ease. We enjoyed a few walks on the beach, visits to Wells and Ogunquit and a play at the historic Ogunquit Playhouse. The location was perfect and the outdoor deck was lovely to sit out on and enjoy the sound and view of the Atlantic Ocean. Absolutely perfect escape, we highly recommend!

Great stay at Sunshine Shack!

Stayed with family for a week. House was very spacious for 8 adults. Bedrooms were good for families or multiple couples. House was well equipped for cooking Great deck with ocean views with the sounds of the waves crashing. Easy drive to Wells and Ogunquit beaches. Owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive. I would recommend without hesitation.

Sunshine Shack Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the Sunshine Shack even though the sunshine was rare. The house is beautiful & spacious enough for the six adults in our group. The house is close to everything we wanted to do. We had one little hiccup when we arrived, but Amy responded immediately with the information that we needed! We will definitely return again!

Loved the location. Disappointed there was not a screen for the sliding door to enjoy the ocean breeze and sounds. More wear and tear than depicted in the pictures.

Sunshine Shack in October

Wonderful stay at the Sunshine Shack! The pictures don’t do it justice! We had 5 adults and one 4yo. Lots of room to gather for meals and games. Cozy gas fireplace, Kitchen and house, clean, modern and well stocked! Beautiful location looking out over Gulf of Maine. 10 minute walk to the beach and easy drive into Ogunquit center. Amy was very responsive and checked in on us to make sure we settled in and had any questions. We would all highly recommend this home for a family getaway! Thank you Amy!

The place is lovely and very close to the beach. There was a snafu with the password/wifi that was resolved. Couldn't watch TV because the remotes were not with the correct televisions, and the television settings had been changed. After all the activities, it would have been great to watch a movie with friends. The owners resolved this after our stay, and I doubt it will happen in the future. Just an FYI to future renters. -The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had what we needed. The fireplace outside was lovely. Great upper deck. Directions and entry instructions were clear. I would recommend this place.

4th July family getaway

Amy and Ned were so accommodating and let my family checked in early so can unload our refrigerated food in such a hot day. They also responded to my questions so timely. I felt in love with this cute beach house the moment we stepped in. The house is spotless, bright and equipped with all the necessities. The best part, it’s walking distance to both the Moody Beach and Crescent Beach. I actually like the fact the the sliding door was missing the screen because I can leave it open to feel the ocean breeze and listen to the wave crashing the nearby shore, and surprisingly no bugs at all. We love this place and hope to return in the near future.

Great location and great communication

The house is on a nice quiet street, with a longer walk than we wanted, but still only around 7 minutes to the first public access walkway for Moody Beach. The listing stated there was a hot tub - that was a mistake, but nothing we would have used anyway. If you’re looking for one though, it’s worth noting here that the listing is inaccurate. Our only complaint are regarding the quality of the beds - they were very cheap and thin.

Perfect spot!

We needed a place to accommodate our family with 5 adults and two teens and it was just right! It has a nice yard for activities and games. The upstairs bathroom has a tiny shower and a small sink. Great for the guys in the group that don’t have to shave their legs or blow dry their hair. There are also a lot of stairs to climb to get to the main level, so I would not recommend this place for people that have a hard time getting around. Other other than that it was all wonderful! 😊 We could walk to Ogunquit Beach and to the Wells Lobster Pound. I highly recommend their fish sandwich. We hope to go back again….we loved it there!
