The owners of this sweet BnB are helpful, kind, and attentive. Bittersweet offers a lovely homemade breakfast and easy walk into town and the beach. Find yourself a comfy seat indoors, out on the lawn, or in a rocking chair on the porch. Welcome to the good life in coastal Maine.

Enjoyable Stay at a Cozy B & B

We enjoyed our stay at the Bittersweet B & B. The property is kept beautifully and is very clean. Outside grounds are landscaped with beautifully kept flowers and bushes. The front porch is welcoming with rocking chairs and other furniture for relaxing outdoors. The owners made us feel welcomed and were very friendly. We enjoyed the home cooked breakfast with plentiful juice and coffee. The B & B is located close to Short Sands and it’s an easy, short ride to Ogunquit.
