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.

Bittersweet Bed and Breakfast was absolutely perfect!! The grounds and building was meticulously maintained with care. The room was adorable and our chats with Victor (the owner) were great!! It is about a 2 minute drive to York Beach, a short walk to Neddick beach and about 10 minutes from Ogunquit. We had a fabulous stay and highly recommend this sweet B&B!!

Victor and Ray have a beautiful, comfortable and immaculate B & B with surrounding property and perfect porches to relax and visit on, as well as eat a delicious breakfast on! They are kind, humorous and most welcoming. We cannot wait to return.

Relaxing time in Maine

Met and exceeded our expectations. Victor and Ray have a top notch b&b. Blast was good and as all the reviews say the blueberry muffins are amazing. Easy walk to short sands and quick trips to long sands, ogun quit or wells beaches by car.

A wonderful stay at the Bittersweet B&B

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Bittersweet Bed & Breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Check-in was easy and our room was excellent! We enjoyed our breakfast outside on the covered porch, so relaxing! Our hosts were gracious, professional and welcoming, offering good suggestions for dinner in nearby restaurants and friendly conversation. The location of the B&B was excellent, just south of Ogunquit and just north of York. The outlet shopping at Kittery was a short drive away. We highly recommend a stay here, without question!

Beautiful place!

Victor and Ray have a spotless, beautiful place. The grounds are kept up nicely! The room was very comfortable - had both a ceiling fan and air conditioner. The breakfast was very good with coffee or tea, juice, homemade muffins every morning, fruit, yogurt, eggs, and bacon - plenty to get you going in the morning! Our stay was fantastic!
Judyth, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very relaxing

Our room was clean and beautifully decorated. Our hosts were friendly, gracious and interesting to chat with. Breakfast was the same each day. A bit of variety and/or creativity could improve that. The photos in the listing were a bit misleading regarding proximity to the beach. There was no ocean or bay view and a beach day would require a car. Overall our stay was relaxing and pleasant.

Victor and Ray were awesome hosts!! The breakfast was delicious, they helped with all needs... They were quick to offer a hose to help wash a wound off outside, they were a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area (including great places to eat!). A great great GREAT place to stay, what a wonderful experience! We travel all the time, but not normally to the same place. However should we ever come back to the York area, well be staying here! Thank you Victor and Ray, your hospitality was wonderful!

Would highly recommend!!! (: Bittersweet B&B,Cape Neddick,ME My youngest granddaughter Rebecka booked a room for us at this lovely B&B for 2 nights. The accommodations were beyond my expectations since I had never been to a B&B before. Our hosts were such wonderful people and made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home. The grounds and gardens were beautiful,you could tell they loved their home and outside areas. We were provided with a tasty breakfast each morning of fresh blueberry muffins, toast or English muffins, scrambled eggs,bacon,coffee,tea, juice and more It was to die for!! If I could I would rate this as 10 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Victor and Ray for your hospitality. Gail Grace…. Nana to Rebecka Grace 07/06/2024-07/08/2024

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.
