Last Sept. we signed a rental agreement for The Beach House also run by same owners for use in August of this year. Finally !!! go through to some one so we could put down our deposit. We were told we do not show a reservation, they had some glitches with their computer system. Ridiculous! So much for contracts and communication. Be careful dealing with these guys.
We had 8 rooms for 3 nights ($300/night for a motel), some families in our group stayed longer. We have been having our family reunion at the Footbridge Beach Motel for 17 years. We have never had any trouble with the previous owners. This owner has treated us like we are invading his backyard and we had to walk on eggshells around him. I understand that with 27 people, 11 being kids ranging in ages from 1-16, we are not a quiet group, although we really do try. A couple kids ran up the stairs, the owner yelled at them, we spoke with our children and it didn’t happen again. During dinner each night, the owner would pop his head over the wall while we were eating, which was a bit creepy. The owner said we were inconsiderate because we took up the 3 tables by the grill for dinner. However, in the past we always left an extra table, but this year there were only 3 tables instead of 4. Again we had 27 people, and we even brought some of our own chairs to accommodate our group. The owner asked us to bag up our own garbage after dinner, which we did. A few years back, my brother was asked to break down cardboard boxes in a recycling pile that was under the property stairs. Most of the cardboard boxes were not ours, but my brother did it anyway because my mother loved staying there and my brother didn’t want to make any waves. This year my sister even skimmed the debris and bugs from the pool, which wasn’t heated while we were there. Our family is very inclusive, we offered other guests and the owner cake when we celebrated birthdays. We had extra lobsters one night and gave them to the owner, which he gladly took. We are not at all “the family from hell,” “entitled” nor “trashy,” which we were called by the owner. The name calling was hurtful and inexcusable. When we arrived, there wasn’t even a “Hello, Welcome to the Footbridge Beach Motel!” Instead, the owner started complaining about a previous guest, mother and son, which I thought was a bit unprofessional. I should not have been surprised to hear that he bad-mouthed my family to other guests when we left. There were lies and exaggerations from the owner. He said that we left broken glass, which was a lie. My mother picked up glass from a previous guest by the grilling area the first night we were there, but we were blamed for this too. The owner even said that 3 rooms complained about us, but one of the rooms he spoke of, Room 11, was actually one of our rooms. Now that I look back, it seemed like the owner was trying to push us out and maybe we should have changed venues when the last owners left. Our family has gotten larger over the years and I believe we just outgrew the small motel.…
Great, clean motel that is close to the beach. The rooms are decent sized and very clean. The grounds are well kept. Pool is beautiful. The flowers all around are gorgeous. You can tell the owners take great care. 5 minutes walk to the beach. I’d definitely go back.
Decent but limited. Better properties available for similar prices in Ogunquit. Rooms are clean but small, typical motel with a little more decor. All in all, if it was at a better price I would give four stars. Inn seasons resort across the street is more bang for you buck.
This is such an outstanding place to stay in Ogunquit! The owners have worked so hard to make every guest happy with their lodging. The attention to detail is impressive and everything about this place is extraordinary! It is about a 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach and a 1 mile walk to the center of Ogunquit. There is a fun pool area where you will meet the other happy guests and exchange stories about how much you love this place. We can't wait to go back. We will see you at the pool.
This little motel was wonderful. It is within walking distance of the Footbridge Beach and just outside of town. We really appreciated that because it was not as loud or crowded. The person checking us into the hotel gave great restaurant recommendations. There was coffee in the AM and checkout consisted of putting a key back a locked box by the front desk. We had some issues with the shower curtain rod not staying up and the bathroom door did not shut all the way. That said, the beds were very comfortable and the place was very clean. We will definitely stay here again.
If you are looking for that place to stay to just relax but in a place you feel completely safe and familiar. This is the place to go. A walk away from the beach, literally right down the street from one of the best beaches in Maine. Not in the mood for the beach take a dip in the pool at the awesomely inviting pool and patio. Want a meal The amazing restaurant Beachfire is right across the street with great food, drinks and a nice fire pit serving lunch and dinner. Great owners, Mark and Scott are awesome they mingle with the people around the pool during the day and are extremely helpful. CLEAN!!!! The rooms are so amazing pictures on the wall of sunsets and beaches all taking by Mark one of the owners. the rooms are scrubbed clean by amazing cleaning ladies. Have a fur baby bring them along to this pet friendly motel. By the way the owners have such adorable dogs! If you want a place to stay that is inviting, comfortable, clean and laid back. Search no more this is the place to go. Already booked our extremely vacation!!…
Had a great girls weekend up at this hidden gem of a place, with hosts that made our trip such a memorable experience. Scott greeting us with a warm welcome, we had a room on the second floor and he brought our suitcases up to the room for us. The room had a great layout with 2 queen beds, sparkling clean, plenty of towels, small refrigerator, along with a microwave. The a/c unit was easy to use, cooled the room down very quickly, and was very quite to run , so we slept soundly. The view from this room overlooked the pool area with all their beautiful flowers. We also got to meet their fur babies Brady and Brandi who were such love bugs. Scott and Mark thank you for such a great weekend, we will be back. Joanne and Nanci
Scott and Mark are the best hosts! We have been coming to Ogunquit for a few years and have stayed in different places. We will definitely be staying at Footbridge Beach Motel again and again. They not only take great pride in the property but are also very attentively and friendly. They even took time out of their busy day to give us a ride to town when we could not get an uber. Above and beyond what any other host would even consider. The pool area is spectacular and welcoming. My only disappointment is that I didn't get to spend more time playing with their gorgeous puppies! See you next year! Lauren Martin
This hotel was very clean! The pool area is beautiful with gorgeous well cared for flowers. The beds were really nice (I wish I had the bed at home hahaha) - rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated. I wish it was located a little closer to the beach and town. We had to drive everywhere and park which can be a pain. I would definitely stay here again.
