The Sparhawk Oceanfront Resort

Our favorite place in Maine, the Sparhawk is a very special place. Providing the setting for a wonderful family vacation, the staff is so accommodating and welcoming. Serving a lovely continental breakfast in a beautiful dining room from 7:00 to 10:00 in the morning. The room is available all day for games and fun, serving coffee and tea all day. The rooms come in a wide variety of choices, from suites to smaller rooms overlooking the ocean. All of them are beautifully appointed and comfortable. You will love it here too.

Best place to stay in ogunquit. It is the trailhead for the marginal way and the grounds are beautiful!

We spent our 16^th year at this warm, friendly and relaxing resort in June, 2012. We wouldn’t keep coming back all these years if this wasn’t, truly, a wonderful place to stay. The rooms and beautiful grounds (especially the flower beds on the Marginal Way) are always well-​maintained and impeccably clean. There is a continental breakfast, a tennis court and a heated pool (my guesstimate is eighty Fahrenheit in mid-​June). The staff and management are as unfailingly cheerful and helpful and our few minor requests over the years have always been promptly handled.
One is right in the middle of Ogunquit. It is a six or seven minute walk to Perkin’s Cove and in three or four minutes you are in the town. The Marginal Way runs unobstruively through the property so you can always take that alternate route to Perkins Cove. You will enjoy your stay at the Sparhawk!

If you love oceanfront and the marginal way, the Sparhawk is THE place to stay. It’s right on the marginal way, and the rooms all have direct ocean views and a balcony literally feet from the water’s edge. Sure the Anchorage next door has their nice adirondack chairs on the lawn, but it does not have the direct oceanfront rooms– and its almost twice the price of the Sparhawk! We stay here in the off-​season (in season requires 7 night minimum) usually in April, and pay 105 – 110 a night. That includes a decent continental breakfast. The rooms are a little dated but spotless, with comfy chairs facing the ocean. You seriously could sit in your room and enjoy the view all day. The staff was great, even letting me check out a room before booking. If you can, get top floor, you will get the most sun. Even then the sun is gone by early afternoon. The decks are not private, but that did not seem to be a problem. Older people seem to stay here, and thats fine with me– they tend to be good neighbors. There is an outdoor pool and a tennis court, books and games in the breakfast room. Its really close to the center of town, right at the entrance to the marginal way. It’s simply a really nice place for an off-​season Ogunquit getaway.
