This Ogunquit, Maine Hotel Was The Perfect Spot For My Family’s Beach Getaway

Many years ago, my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary by taking a road trip to coastal Maine. Along the way, we decided to stop in the little town of Ogunquit. We stayed only a few hours, eating a delicious lunch at a local breakfast spot and taking a scenic walk along the breathtaking Marginal Way. However, these few hours were more than enough time for us to both fall in love with the town. Our quick stop paved the path for many future summer vacations in this beautiful coastal community.

We have stayed in many Ogunquit hotels and rentals over the years and most have been fantastic. As our family grew from two to three, and then four, we realized that we needed a place with more space. About 10 years ago, we booked a weekend at the Sea Rose Suites, and we found it so perfect that we have been returning here year after year.

The Sea Rose Suites is a beautiful Ogunquit resort that is perfect for families and small groups. The hotel has a variety of rooms to choose from, including one and two-bedroom suites and a three-bedroom house.

The one-bedroom townhouses in the River Terrace portion of the hotel are perfect for our family of four. These multi-level suites offer plenty of room for us to hang out together, as well as for all of us to have our own space.

The suites in this section of the resort contain a bathroom and bedroom (with two queen-sized beds) on the upper level and a living area on the lower level.

The living area features a queen-sized pull-out couch, a dining area, and a kitchenette with a full-sized refrigerator, small appliances, dishes, and cutlery. There is also another bathroom on this level.

We love that we are able to bring food, store our leftovers, and mix up some cocktails to enjoy on the townhouse porch.

While we are visiting, we always take advantage of the amenities. There are two pools - one inside and one outside. There is also a fitness room and a grassy outside area where you can grill.

The pools are a great place to relax at the end of the day.

Sea Rose Suites is also a winner in our book because of its location. Nestled halfway between downtown Ogunquit and the Perkins Cove area, the hotel is within walking distance of so many great restaurants, shops, the public beach, and the Marginal Way.

When we don’t feel like walking, we sometimes take the trolley (there is a stop down the road) or use the local shuttle cart service.

The only bad thing about vacationing in Ogunquit is that these trips always fly by way too fast. With so much to do in the area, we always run out of time to do it.

Until next year, Ogunquit!
