Great service and excellent breakfast. It was a pleasure visiting with Andy again.Nearby activities: Although it was late in the season, shopping and food in Ogunquit and Wells was enjoyable as always.

We absolutely loved staying here. Our room had great ocean views. It was so close to the Marginal Way and right in between Perkins Cove and downtown. Andy, our host, cooked us lovely breakfasts each morning and he was a great storyteller and had a great sense of humor. We will definitely be back!

had to cancel our reservation because of injury. I did not expect my intial deposit back because we were outside of the cancellation period for the deposit to be refunded. However, we were within the cancellation period for not being charged for the entire stay. We were charged for the entire stay. I called the Rockmere to discuss the matter. The person from the Rockmere would not discuss the matter. As a matter of fact, he hung up on me. He continued to hang up when I called back. This not a place to stay. I have never been treated so rudely by an Innkeeper.

BOOKING BEWARE - terrible booking experience, rude and unhelpful staff, SCAM.I booked a stay with Rockmere for a babymoon for my wife and I. We had to reschedule so I rebooked for the following week. And living several states away, I noted that we would be arriving later than 5 p.m..Everything seemed fine until I received an email stating that Rockmere was canceling my reservation as they do not take arrival times after 5 p.m., though while booking, the website states that they will take such arrivals and that you call weeks prior to arrival to discuss expected an arrival time, etc, so they can accommodate. This was not the case. My booking was canceled without any sort of warning AND I was told that they would be charging me a cancelation fee "because they had to work double time for me". And this was several months outside of our intended travel date.Furthermore, I never received my deposit back and have attempted to contact Rockmere several times on the matter. Got through via the contact us field on the website but got no further response. There was no indication on whether a cancelation fee would be for the entire deposit or for a fraction of that - and I've received no word on that either.While it's a nice location, you're better off staying somewhere that will put the needs of the customer above the needs of the staff.

Loved my stay at the Rockmere, great location to the Marginal way.Andy the owner was super, very friendly and accommodating.I arrived around 10 a.m. and just wanted to park my car there until 2pm check in time.He not only let me park there, he had an early check-out and when I arrived he had cleaned my room and had it ready for me to check in.Breakfeast each morning was excellent and it was great talking to the other guests at breakfeast-I looked forwar each morning to speaking with the other guests and Andy would always offer friendly and entertaing stories.And each morning Andy would set the tables with different place settings, you see a beautiful and different setting eack morning.I could not ask for a more gracious host.

This was our first time staying in a Bed and Breakfast. We had a wonderful experience. Andy was an excellent host. The location was perfect. Very close to the Marginal Way and very central to both Perkins Pier and Downtown Ogunquit.

I called to make a reservation for this coming Saturday night and was told there was one room available for cash only. I clarified that I heard him right because it broke up a bit, and he said yes cash only and hung up the phone. Figured it was dropped due to bad service, called back an hour later and he said this is why we don't do one night anymore too many questions and hung up on me again. I called back and he picked up, hung up. I was ready to book then and there upon the second time calling back but now, boy am I glad I didn't. I see others on here have had the same experience. Unbelievable!

What a good time! Andy, the Innkepper, is a throwback personality and with 33 years in business has stories to entertain while you eat your breakfast. The environment is quaint and eclectic. If you're looking for a typical Hilton experience this isn't your spot. If you want different and fun situated right next to the Ocean, go visit!

Innkeeper was very nice. Breakfast was very nice. House needs work. Front steps and porch need painting and updating. Bedrooms need painting and updating. Location was great.

I loved our stay so much. We were in the Ann Marie and the ocean view from the bed was amazing. I adore Andy, the innkeeper, and his stories so much. He also has fantastic recommendations for everything from restaurants, to entertainment and shopping. It is an old house but Andy did a beautiful job decorating the rooms.

My Husband and borther-in-law just spent 5 wonderful days at the Rockmere Lodge in Ogunquit Maine. From the moment we arrived the service was perfect and so friendly. The breakfast part was most delicious from the blueberry pancakes to the English Muffin egg and sausage samwich. The coffee always gives my husband a memory of growing up.Bob and Andy always give the best suggestions of 'where to go for dinner'.This time they added a wonderful spot.. their porch. Along with the suggestion of the best place for picking up boiled lobsters and steamers to 'sides' and dessert! Bob thanks for the loan of the nut crackers.Over the years Andy and Bob have never failed in the hospitality, and now have become lasting friends. As always, many thanks. See ya'll next time.

Rotten floorboards, rotted empty window boxes along the porch, a recycling bin that hadn't been emptied in weeks and peeling paint greet guests at this "Bed & Breakfast".Once inside it was evident that the floors had not been cleaned in some time. The coffee station was still dirty from the morning even though it was 2:00 p.m. Leading up the stairs the carpets were just as dirty. Once inside the room, the outside temp was 92 degrees, the windows were open and no AC was running. The windows in the whole Inn were filthy. I knew I could not stay here.When I informed the Inn Keeper that I could not stay he became extremely defensive. After discussion he passive aggressively went to his computer and then stated "there I have now charged you for the second night as well".He stated he was a business man and that was his reasoning. I decided it was time to leave but took pictures as I left. He was rude, unprofessional and by no means a business man. A good business man would have come to a resolution.In my 40 years of visiting Ogunquit, I have stayed in many Inns and B&B's and never had a bad experience. In all my travels in the US and Europe I have never felt I needed to vacate a place that I had reserved and find other lodging.

Andy & Bob were amazing! Had a great conversation with my husband and bob over breakfast. Omlettes, english muffins, yogurt with fruit and a glass of juice was served restaurant style and we were so appreciative. We stayed in the Barbara Sue room which was clean and had everything we needed. Does everything in the bed and breakfast match? Is everything perfectly dusted? Is this a 5 star hotel? No! It's a unique and beautiful home on the beach that has been opened up to guests. That being said-- I would eat cheese and drink wine on the porch despite some old window boxes or tools that may be around. If you're into something a little different, a place off the beaten path and are okay in a home away from home, Rockmere is for you! Beautiful gardens and many little outside nooks to sit in. My husband & I will be back.

Location is 11/10. Sense of Humor Required, Avoid if You Have Five Star ExpectationsMy husband and I had a perfectly pleasant experience at the Rockmere. You simply can not beat the stunning location! There are definitely a few caveats to consider before staying.Andy and Bob seem like nice enough guys who have been doing things a certain way for 30 years, are proud of their Inn, but have no patience for complaints and are absolutely not open to criticism. Having read the negative reviews (AFTER booking our stay, whoops,) we knew that we should avoid making any special requests, and decided to just make the most of it. We were in the next room when another guest was not-so-quielty asked to leave, and decided that the drama is just part of the Inn's charm. Like dinner and a show!If you can have a chuckle to yourself about the maximalist decór and the muzak playing in the hallway, and just appreciate this place for what it is, you'll have a fine stay. Your room is not going to pass a white glove test, and you will not receive five star customer service. If you have dietary restrictions, just skip breakfast (but please for the love of god let them know first!) I don't eat meat, but I quietly slid the sausage that came with breakfast over to my husband so as not to cause a stir.We absolutely LOVED the location, and walked along the Marginal Way multiple times a day to the beach, to dinner, to the shops, to Perkin's Cove, etc. If you want a decent place to sleep in a beautiful location, and don't require crisp white sheets in a five star accommodation, this place will suit you just fine.
