Top notch luxury

What a beautiful spot and amazing find. I thoroughly enjoyed a beach escape and the house did not disappoint. It is spacious, spotlessly clean, and fabulously decorated. From the moment I stepped inside I felt like I was at a luxury resort. There are so many spots to sit and read a book and enjoy the amazing views. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at the Marais Salant! The house is beautiful, bright and comfortable. We could not stop commenting on how well stocked the house was--anything and everything we needed was available! The owners/Salt and Shine really did everything to make our stay pleasant and special. Communication was great. Location was also lovely with great views of the marsh and a short walk to the beautiful North Beach. Thank you again for making this a fantastic family trip that we will remember forever!

Girls getaway dream come true

I can’t begin to express how perfect this home is. A blissful location just steps from the ocean and within walking distance of downtown Ogunquit, this is a rare find. The owner has thought through everything one could wish for in a top rated vacation property. The decor is flawless, sunset view is stunning and all the amenities you could dream of from the kitchen to the bedroom. This is a treasured retreat environment. We will be booking for next year! My heartfelt thanks.

Peaceful oasis

My stay at Marais Salant was amazing! Peaceful oasis, serene and relaxing are the words that come to mind. There are water views from every window in the house and the decor is beachy and beautiful. Indoor/outdoor living with a spacious balcony overlooking the beautiful marsh with breathtaking sunsets. The furniture is comfortable and the linens are 5 star hotel quality! Warm lighting throughout. Quick walk to the gorgeous public beach with beach chairs from the garage. Easy walk along the beach into charming Ogunquit. I will definitely be returning for another stay!
