We just got back from our first visit to Old Orchard Beach. My husband and I and our 5 kids stayed at this cute house during our stay. It was awesome! The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen has everything you need. They have a great beach cart and chairs there for you, so you dont have to pack all that. You can walk to the pier and the beach. We would drive to the beach just bc it was easier with 5 kids and all our gear, but in the evening we would walk to the pier and it was an easy 5-10 minute walk. The house is in a quiet neighborhood that we enjoyed walking around looking at all the different little beach cottages. The hosts were great. The backyard was beautiful with cornhole and other yard games. Additonal outdoor shower was a bonus with 7 of us trying to shower after the beach. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Spacious home with plenty of room for family dinners, inside or outside. Games for adults and kids. Grill for burgers and plenty of dish ware (with a dishwasher if you forget paper goods). 7 months pregnant and the 15 minute walk to the beach was manageable, thanks to the wagon they provide. Would definitely recommend and will be back in the future.

Our family of 9 vacationed here for a week and had a great time! Plenty of room in the common areas for playing games, eating, hanging out… we even got everyone to watch the presidential debate on tv in the living room. What a joke - Haha! The walk to the pier was fine (we range from very fit on down to your “average” American body types) and had no problems. We walked back and forth numerous times to go grab some Bill’s pizza & fries, and play arcade games, ride rides, etc. Also convenient to the beach and we used the beach cart to pull our cooler and chairs down with no issues. There is a nice big back yard where we spent a few afternoons grilling out and playing badminton, corn hole, etc. Jeff is an awesome host who was easily reachable and responsive. While visiting, he brought us extra beach & Adirondack chairs, badminton & volley ball net, etc. The cottage has all the items you need to prepare meals, and has bath towels, linens and blankets. And I thought having only a bath and a half may be an issue with 9 adults but went surprisingly smooth. You know… your vacation is only as great as the people you vacation with. Blessed to have an amazing family of my own to do life with!!! God bless!

We booked this place because we needed a pet-friendly house with lots of space close to the beach. It was absolutely ideal! The yard is huge and fenced in which allowed for stress-free relaxing outside without having to exclude the dog! The yard alone is worth the short walk to the beach and the fold up beach cart was a huge bonus! We brought beach chairs and found that there were plenty already provided. Most days we loaded up our vehicle with all our beach gear and unloaded everything in the 10 minute parking spots right next to the pier. Then my husband would drive back to the house and by the time we’d set everything up he had already walked back to join us. This saved us having to lug everything we needed for 8 people, but a group of fit adults could easily carry their gear from the house. The host was very friendly and responsive. Photos of the listing are accurate. I read a lot of reviews complaining about the upstairs bathroom sink lacking pressure which I thought was an odd complaint. Yes, that specific sink does lack pressure but I don’t need a fire hose to wash my hands and brush my teeth and the shower had plenty of pressure so we were all happy. Our entire group agreed that we should book the place every year!

Plenty of room for the 10 of us.No frills cottage style.We are all in good shape,but the walking back and forth from the beachfront would be a lot for others.

My family and I recently stayed at this property and enjoyed our annual OOB vacation with lots rest and relaxation. The house itself it spacious, very family friendly (plenty of games and backyard fun for everyone). There was plenty of parking in the driveway (which initially made us nervous with no on-street parking — because our teens have their license now, so they brought their own car). We barely used our cars (yes, even the teens left the cars and opted to walk to town instead). We enjoyed a cut through a small park/dog park to the beach each day, with the beach cart provided by the owner of the property. Our teens chose the direct route towards Walgreens and the beginning of the shops and made it to the beach must faster than we did. Mornings were nice and peaceful! We enjoyed a cup of coffee in the sun and a daily visit from the neighborhood cat, Riley, the sweetest, friendliest cat we’d ever met. Cornhole and volleyball in the backyard were one of the highlights of our family fun in the backyard. BYOVB if you’d like to use the net, as we were not able to find one for ourselves in the storage box (though, we were able to purchase one out of town). Jeff, the owner/property contact was immediately responsive to any inquiries we had, the check-in/check-out process was as smooth as possible, with plenty of information included with instructions for the property.

This house was perfect for our family week away! We had a few rainy days so the large living room and dining room were great for everyone to hangout and play games in. The outside space was awesome for dinners and lounging after the kiddos went to bed. I would highly recommend this house for families!

We had a wonderful stay in this home and really enjoyed our summer vacation in Maine. The property itself was just what we needed for a home base while we were at the beach or exploring Maine. The neighborhood was just ok, but we weren't really around enough to have it bother us. The water pressure upstairs in the half bath made the sink basically unusable, but we just used the bathroom on the first floor and loved the outdoor shower too! My only other issue is that two of the four bedrooms did not have air conditioning and it was hot. There were a few nights that one of the bedrooms was not usable because of this. I just wish that was made clear upfront. Other than those few minor things, the place was great! There was plenty of beach stuff - chairs and wagon that we would've used if we walked to the beach. Thanks for a great week in your home!
