Help! Beachmere or Meadowmere for family vaca?

Which one would you recommend for a week. Me, hubby, and 3 year old twins.



Help! Beachmere or Meadowmere for family vaca?


Hi Nicoli,





OUR 1st choice would be either the Anchorage By The Sea, or the Gazeebo Inn. The Anchorage is right ON THE OCEAN next to the Marginal Way.





The owner of the Gazeebo happens to be friends with the owner of Rochmere.





If your family loves the ocean, ya can%26#39;t get any better than Anchorage. Rochmere is more pricey.





Good Luck %26amp; Happy Travelling!



Help! Beachmere or Meadowmere for family vaca?


Hi nicoli,





I can%26#39;t speak for the Meadowmere as I%26#39;ve never stayed there. But I have stayed at the Beachmere several times and it%26#39;s my favorite accomodation (I%26#39;ve also stayed at the Anchorage which is nice but doesn%26#39;t have the ambience and old Maine feel to it).





Anyway, the Beachmere is located right on the Marginal Way with stunning views of the open ocean; has a wonderful selection of accomodations, including a motel wing w/one bedroom units (where I%26#39;ve stayed with my sons when they were in the 8 to 15 age bracket), kitchenette, a nice eating area in front of a picture window with those beautiful ocean views, and decorated in a beachy/light and airy way as compared to the usual motel/hotel sameness.





There%26#39;s also easy access to a small beach that%26#39;s rarely crowded and has all the benefits of the main beaches in Ogunquit without the hassles.





The Beachmere is the type of place that couples and families return to year after year after year. The family who run it are wonderful, breakfast is included and the location is excellent with a short walk to all the restaurants, shops, and galleries. But while there, it feels a million miles away from it all and all you hear is the sound of the waves and maybe people in the distance walking the Marginal Way or kids playing on the green lawn that leads down to the water.





Good luck and let us know what you decide :).

Hi



I have stayed at both although it%26#39;s been a while. Beachmere right near water on Marginal Way while Meadowmere is on Route 1, but easy walk to all of Ogunquit. The main plus for the Meadowmere is it has more extensive facilities, 2 pools a great fitness center, etc... if this is important to you , it is to us so my choice would be the Meadowmwere. Also has a breakfast included, expanded in-season, very basic off-season. Either place you%26#39;ll be happy, we love Ogunquit.
