Splendid vac that lingers long after it's done

The first thing that struck me was that the write-up about the place matched what we found at the vacation home. It sort of set the stage for us to feel comfortable - as if we'd been there before.
The property agent was very friendly and professional, and the place showed that a high quality of maintenance was kept. The rooms were clean, the amenities were good, and the location was perfect.
The only item that was not as anticipated was that we were told that the Trolley car would serve the Shore Road up to the property. On closer examination it turned out not to be the case. The Trolley car only goes to the Perkins Cove area. However, you don't need a car to get around if you choose. We found a short cut that took us over the bridge to the Cove and beyond and we took several long walks (we are walkers) to the main drag to go to the town center or go to the Marginal way over to the beach area.
The Museum and the local galleries (including the Barn) were a delightful diversion for a day. The restaurants, a list was provided, were great, especially the french 98 Provence. The local plays make for a great entertainment evening. We didn't get a chance to try out a night club but may do that next time. The atmosphere is nice and enjoys a great deal of european flair with predominantly tourists coming from the Quebec area. As you can imagine, Ogunquit is a great area for kids but it also suits romantic getaways.
We also enjoyed taking a boat trip which starts with the opening of the draw bridge to allow the masts to get through and going to the ocean, beautiful at dusk.
Unfortunately due to business issues, we had to leave to go back to MA for a little while and get back again. The place is close enough that this was done without taking a big chunk out of the vacation time.
Waking up to the sound of the ocean, the spectacular views and the wonderful deck with the views of the Perkins Cove and the inlet to the Ocean will stay with me for a while. This was exactly what we needed - we hope to be back next year.
