Your blue bungalow by the sea awaits at the charming Seacastles Resort in the globally acclaimed coastal oasis of Ogunquit, Maine.
Part of The Original Ogunquit Collection, this standout property offers a quintessential stay in the heart of Ogunquit. Just steps from all of the action, Seacastles Resort is conveniently situated just a few steps from all of Ogunquit’s main (or should we say Maine) attractions—from the beach (ranked among the top in the nation) to the scenic ocean overlook path of Marginal Way, downtown shops, and a home sandwiched between two of the town’s museums.
A cozy stay at the heart of Ogunquit
The cozy blue shutter property is one you’ll instantly feel at home in and is perfect for groups or families ready to explore southern Maine.
Stay in one of the oceanview lofted suites and get used to enjoying an ocean sunrise from your private outdoor balcony while sipping on fresh-brewed coffee or tea prepared in the kitchen.
Watching the Maine sunrise over the ocean will call you to it, and luckily, it’s just a short ten-minute stroll from the property. Take the Ogunquit Beach Footpath to get there among hydrangeas and arched trees, or travel via Shore Road and Beach Street to enjoy the energy of Downtown Ogunquit.
The perfect early autumn escape in Ogunquit, Maine
The prime location of Seacastles Resort makes it convenient to mark everything off of your Ogunquit bucket list. Open year-round, late summer and fall are some of the best times to visit the charming town. The property is adjacent to the famous 2.5-mile-long Marginal Way path, which overlooks surfers, rose bushes, and the Atlantic. Take it all the way to Perkins Cove and enjoy fresh Maine seafood at one of the waterfront shacks.
Seacastles Resort is sandwiched between two of Ogunquit’s favorite museums, both free. With the resort open year-round, the Fire Museum and Ogunquit Heritage Museum are the perfect excursion on a chilly fall day.
On the same road as Seacastles Resort, you’ll find the many shops of Downtown Ogunquit, brimming with souvenirs, local art, quirky Maine goodies, and, of course, lots of blueberry and lobster-themed trinkets. Grab an acai bowl from Loveshack (less than 500 feet from Seacastles), or if you prefer a beach sandwich, head to Backyard Eatery or Pinsa—for Roman-style sandwiches. Fia Fia is off the main street but makes an equally amazing açaí, matcha, and coffee!
Spanning over 3 miles, Main Beach is the closest to the property and most popular in town. For something quieter or to take a surfing lesson, head to Footbridge Beach, where you’ll find the same clear waters, fewer crowds, and can even take a lesson with Liquid Dreams.
Unique to Ogunquit is the tidal river that forms at high tide, making the beach friendly to kayakers, paddleboarders, families wanting tidal pools for small children, and fishing. At low tide, the expanse of sand makes for a spectacular strolling stretch as day rolls into afternoon. After all that exploring, visit Splash Restaurant at Norseman Resort, a sister property of Seacastles, where you’ll find a delicious menu of homemade items served right on Main Beach. Dine-in and takeout are both available.
Cap the night with a mandatory scoop of blueberry pie ice cream from Big Daddy’s on Main Street.
The leaves will soon transform into magical autumnal hues in Ogunquit, just in time for the annual OgunquitFest—a top-rated fall festival taking over the town from October 23-25.
Your home by the sea
While Seacastles puts you in the prime spot to enjoy all of Ogunquit, the resort itself makes you feel instantly at home. The expansive lawn lends itself to post-beach afternoons spent playing whiffle ball, enjoying a people-watching picnic under a shaded willow tree, or grilling your fresh catch out back on the property’s two charcoal grills.
Guests can stock up in the office on towels, toothpaste, or any other toiletries you might have forgotten. No matter what time of year you decide to visit, Seacastles Resorts’ 6-foot-deep indoor pool and adjacent hot tub make it easy to indulge in that summer energy. There’s also an outdoor hot tub to get the best of both worlds.
The apartment-style guestrooms are perfect for groups. Select from a wide assortment of room types, from a double-decker loft with ocean views to a studio, apartment, or penthouse, all equipped with Gilchrist & Soames bath products, a kitchen, a television, and communal guest laundry.
Traveling to Ogunquit, Maine from Boston
Ogunquit is just over an hour from Boston by car or a short rideshare from the Wells Amtrak stop, making it the perfect escape any time of year. While Ogunquit is the idyllic coastal New England summer getaway, the town is also known for its over-the-top fall decorations. Book your next getaway at Seacastles Resort to experience its magic!
