This Maine Resort Won Good Housekeeping 2026 Travel Award for Favorite Vacation Spot
Ogunquit, Maine has always been a beautiful place to vacation. Now, more people are going to discover the quaint New England charm of the OGT that we all know and love.
Recently, The Dunes on the Waterfront in Ogunquit has been given an award from Good Housekeeping for one of the Best Beach Villas for Big Groups in the entire U.S.
Good Housekeeping recognized how perfect the Dunes would be if you have a lot of people in your crew that want to vacation in this beautiful spot. The Dunes has about 12 acres of land and they recently renovated the cottages. There's room for everyone here.
The service at the Dunes is "delightful," according to Good Housekeeping. They say that the staff delivers coffee and fresh baked goods to you. You can also borrow a bike to ride along the Ogunquit River.
Here's what Good Housekeeping said about The Dunes on the Waterfront:
We enjoyed the on-property heated pool, which was the perfect temperature and had two tubes to float around in and the yellow umbrellas and seating were so aesthetic.
Downtown Ogunquit is the Best Part of the Whole Town
Yes, the scenery is beautiful, but everywhere on the Maine coast has scenery. What I love most about Ogunquit is Downtown. The shops, restaurants and bars are just the perfect place to take you out of your life and into happiness. (I told you, I REALLY love Ogunquit.) I have spent many nights in The Piano Bar - not singing, but encouraging the other fabulous people who do.
You can also take in a show that will leave you laughing and loving life with the Dueling Drag Divas Competition at Mainestreet in Ogunquit. That's just one of the choices for entertainment. Check out the calendar of things to do here.
