Wonderful house with gracious and enthusiastic hosts

The Kearns have built this house with guests in mind. The new construction is very well equipped for living, cooking and dining. The house is a short and easy walk to both the beach and the center of town but off the main traffic route, making it a quiet place to stay. We heartily recommend staying here and we plan to be back!

It was a pleasure to have you stay at our home. So lovely to hear your enjoyed the quietness of our area. We are close to the heart of Ogunquit but tucked away just off Route One. I am happy you were able to take many strolls down to the beach, visit the restaurants, go shopping, get ice cream and enjoy lobster rolls at Perkins Cove. We look forward to your return.

We had a fabulous experience - Clara's Cottage is well appointed, clean, comfortable and conveniently located to lots of shops and restaurants. We had our own car, but actually walked to dinner one night. We especially enjoyed the The Fire Pit on one of the cooler evenings and roasted marshmellows out there for our S'mores! Jennifer and Robert are excellent hosts quite accommodating and responsive. We would not hesitate to stay again at their delightful property.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer & Robert Kearns

Host profile image
Robert and I are both locals who want to share a little piece of Maine with your family and friends. We strive to provide everything you need to settle in for a lovely vacation.

Why they chose this property

Our property has been in the family for over 100 years. Robert and I decided the original house could not be renovated to what we wanted it to be. We built the new house in 2000. It is not handicapped accessible due to the stairs.

What makes this property unique

Close walk to all that Ogunquit has to offer. We offer a list of wonderful shops and restaurants in town.
