    Our 4th. visit in as many years and it just keeps getting better! Bob the Innkeeper is the type of person that can't do enough to make your stay exactly what you want it to be. He starts you off with a wonderful breakfast everyday then it's off to the beach or golf or sightseeing and shopping. The four o'clock wine and cheese is the perfect time to chat with other guests or just relax and soak in the beautiful grounds. There are more varieties of flowers at Distant Sands than there are at the botanical gardens in our town. We have met so many interesting and pleasant people here but no one nicer than Bob!

    Due to a power outage in parts of Ogunquit, we happened upon Distant Sands through the recommendation of another innkeeper. We were truly floored by Bob's optimistic personality and friendliness. Rooms and amenities are relaxing as well as refreshing, and breakfast is not bad either! A short walk to the ocean and town is a real plus for this quaint B & B. Put it on your list next time you are visiting the Maine coastline.

    Distant Sands is a beautiful, small B&B in a great location in Ogunquit, ME. It offers a comfortable backyard (with an ocean view) and easy beach access. The rooms are small (and the bathrooms too), but comfortable and clean. Bob serves a great breakfast and is interesting and knowledgeable. We would stay here again.

    We were greeted warmly by Bob, the innkeeper. He gave us a tour and showed us our room, The Christopher. The room was smaller than we usually like to have; however, the bed was comfy, and a well appointed bathroom made up for the inconvenience. We enjoyed the wine, cheese, and fruit in the afternoon. The breakfast was a gourmet delight. Thanks for making our trip a memorable experience! Diane & Bill, Sparks, NV

    My wife and I stayed at the Distant Sands for a weekend in October and what a great time we had. Bob our inn keeper was a delight, such a great personality and very informative about Ogunquit, the food that he made for breakfast was excellent, The B&B itself was cozy in a convenient area of Ogunquit not to far from the shops or Perkins Cove and the Marginal Way. I just loved my time at The Distant Sands and would definitley return.
