The Dunes on the Waterfront

Picturesque Waterfront Cottages

This collection of white clapboard cottages with green shutters fronts onto a tidal river and one of Maine's best beaches. No rocky shoreline here; instead, white sands slope gradually into the ocean making it an ideal place for children to play in the water. A trolley or a short walk takes you from the cottages to town, where shops, restaurants, galleries, and the local theater provide holiday entertainment. 

Rowboats to cross the tidal river to the white sand beach, classic white cottages for cozy nights 

What it's like

All the elements of a classic Maine summer are here: croquet on the lawns, rowboats for guests to cross the tidal river at high tide, and a dock for launching kayaks, paddleboards, or canoes. Some cottages have fireplaces, all come with free high-speed WiFi and Keurig coffee makers.
