Despite the house’s wooded privacy, occupants can enjoy a short walk (4-5 mins) to Perkins Cove and Ogunquit Beach, named one of the top ten 2023 beaches in the U.S. by Tripadvisor. Perkins Cove also marks the start of the famous Marginal Way, which is the pedestrian cliff walk on the ocean’s edge that leads you past several small beaches and stops at Main Beach in the center of Ogunquit. The famous Ogunquit Art Museum is also a half mile walk from the house. The house is ideally situated if you want to leave the car at home and have a few rum punches with your dinner at Barnacle Billy’s, the best rum punch you will ever have!

The Cape Neddick Country Club abuts the property, and non-members are welcome.Anywhere you cannot walk, you can simply hop on a trolley or drive. The Ogunquit Playhouse offers rotating musicals and the Ogunquit Movie Theatre offers evening events ranging from free movies to live comedy shows to drag queen competitions.The cabin was originally built to serve as a sanctuary for the wife of George Conarroe (Nannie Conarroe), while he designed and built several historic buildings around town. Charles M. Burns designed the cabin and York contractor Edward B. Blaisdell was the contractor in the late 1800s. In 1897 this same duo built the Ogunquit Memorial Library and St. Peter’s By the Sea Episcopal Church on Shore Road (both commissioned by Nannie Conarroe to honor her late husband). The location of the Episcopal church was carefully selected by Burns to be on Christian Hill so sailors could see the steeple cross from their boats in the Ocean.The cabin has a long list of famous tenants, including celebrated artists George Kunkel and Edward H. Betts. A young Bette Davis also stayed in the cabin while working as a lifeguard in Ogunquit.The cabin offers plenty of parking, certainly enough for four cars, plus!
