Project Reveal: Maine Vacation Home with Panoramic Water Views

I’m so excited to share a project we photographed last spring in Ogunquit, Maine, featured in this month’s Maine Home + Design! We designed this vacation house for a busy family as a weekend/summer retreat for entertaining visiting family and friends.

Shall we start with the view from the side porches? One side of the wraparound deck faces Perkins Cove while the other has a view of the ocean. Hard to choose which one is better!

On to the family room with multiple seating options and a great mix of patterns, featuring both indoor and outdoor grade fabrics.

A set of Palecek chairs done in an outdoor Sister Parish pattern surround a game table by Dunes & Duchess.

The kitchen is long and narrow with a pass through to the bar and two islands – one in the cooking area for prep and the second with stools for seating. We mixed up the materials for the prep island so it felt more like a furniture piece than another run of cabinetry. Beyond the second seating island is a dining table that overlooks the water and the screened in porch.

Off the kitchen is this super fun lounge area – the clients really wanted this space to be fun and bold, so this Peter Dunham paper did the trick! The doors fold back to make the screened porch and lounge one big entertaining space (complete with beer on tap and Frame TV with a custom bezel!)

The sweet powder and laundry rooms are done in a seaglass shade of pale green and white.

The foyer is simple and sweet…

At the top of the stairs is a home office and guest suite.

Followed by the kids bedrooms with a Jack & Jill bath and another full guest bath.

I’m crazy about this bathroom and how we were able to make it fun and interesting but stay neutral.

And, finally, the primary suite, which includes a deck with more seating and incredible views. Again, this is a classic, time tested look for a beach house with watery pale blues, woven textures, washed oak and lots of bright white.

You can read more about the project in the July 2025 issue of Maine Home + Design, which includes interviews with the builder, Richard Moody & Sons Construction, and our gracious clients.
