Hotel overview

Located within a quiet gated community, Cottages at Summer Village offers a casual and welcoming atmosphere well-suited for families and laid-back travelers. Its quaint cottages feature covered porches and kitchenettes, giving guests the flexibility to prepare meals and relax comfortably after a day exploring the nearby coast.

The resort sits just across from the Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, providing easy access to nature trails and bird-watching opportunities. Moody Beach is just a mile away, perfect for seaside days and coastal strolls. Guests can enjoy multiple outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and a hot tub, creating a variety of activities within the resort grounds.

While the cottages are set close to one another, the overall vibe remains peaceful with minimal car traffic and an on-site trolley that keeps things convenient. The property maintains a smoke-free environment and is kid-friendly, making it an appealing option for multi-generational families or solo travelers seeking safety and comfort.

Nearby attractions include the Ogunquit Museum of American Art and Footbridge Beach, both easily accessible for day trips. Public transportation options and regional airports provide reasonable access, though an airport shuttle is not available on property.

“Have stayed at this property many times and usually like to stay in #225. Great location on the property for easy walking to adult pool area. Have stayed in different months (May, June, Sept, Oct) and have loved each season. I usually travel with my husband but have made several Solo trips to SV. As a solo, female traveler I feel completely safe on the property. Because I have returned to the same cottage several times I have seen improvements each visit that have been made by the owner. I love having the option of cooking meals myself when desired. I have found the cottage well equipped and comfortable. Love the surrounding area and will return over and over.”

“This was our 3rd time coming to Summer Village. It's a lovely community and the location is perfect. The amenities are great for families. We used 2 of the 3 pools (there's a 3rd in the middle of the complex but it was further from our cottage), the tennis & pickle ball courts - all very well maintained. The cottages are close together but it somehow it feels quiet and peaceful. There's not a lot of car traffic and there's a trolley (my kids were obsessed!) that comes by frequently on a loop. The location is really convenient to Ogunquit, Wells Beach and Kennebunk so there are good options for both beach days and cooler/overcast days. I'm leaving this review because I just read some of the bad reviews that were left since our stay in August and I had to double check that I was looking at the right Summer Village. My experience was very different from those who are slamming it so I want to offer a different opinion. II cannot say my experience was any different last month from the first two visits (in 2022 & 2023). Our cottage was very clean and we were able to check in on time. Our check-in was completely straightforward, no issue. I definitely recommend Summer Village and we plan to return again next August.”

“We were lucky to get a very last minute rental, and I can’t speak highly enough about the staff of Summer Village and our overall experience there. They are responsive and accommodating, kind, and maintain an impeccable property. It is a great place to stay with family and friends. Thank you for a great vacation!”
