On a whim, wife and I decided to stay over night in Ogunquit. Great price on a great room. Simple and home-like accomodations and friendly staff added to the charm of our visit. Looking forward to going back.

I love this place. They treat you like family. They go above and beyond a simple B & B. You can walk to the beach, lots of restaurants within walking distance. The clients are very outgoing and friendly. My rooms have always been spotless. I look forward to going back, year after year.

I've stayed at the Monkey for years. The owners are very friendly and usually book your room themselves. I've stayed in all of the houses, and the rooms have been clean and comfortable. There is a little bit of a mothball smell though, which I don't mind. Sometimes if you pay cash, the rooms are even cheaper. You cannot beat the location or the price.
