Great holiday house

Our family (two adults and two teenagers) had a lovely relaxing time here for a week in July. The house was really nicely decorated and equipped to a high standard. We enjoyed the table tennis and BBQ area of the back garden and sitting on the deck at the front. The house had a great location, close to the beach, and a short drive to Portland. Would recommend a holiday here.

Very nice newly renovated house in a nice neighborhood. Easy walk to beach and pier/town. Some lights were out and others the switches didn’t work well. Other than that, excellent.

Beautiful home!!

Very spacious with all amenities needed; TV, Wi Fi, books, ping-pong table, large backyard with bbq and designated eating area. Beautifully renovated, open concept kitchen able to accommodate large groups comfortably. The cottage is less than 5 minutes walk to the beach and also very close to downtown OOB (restaurants, shops, carnival, and pier). We would definitely rent this home again and recommend it to friends.

Family Summer Vacation

Owner Kevin was responsive to questions and accommodating when we requested a later checkout. The living room/bonus bed area was hot when temps were 90°+. ACs are only located in the 2 bedrooms. House was comfortable when the heat wave passed. 15 mins walk to the pier and 5 mins walk to the beach. We could hear the upstairs family/children walking around, we didn’t mind as we also had small children on the trip. House was as advertised. Would stay again in the future. Great option, close to the beach.

Great location

Stayed for the Ironman 70.3 race. The location was under 10-15 min walk to the beach, pier and all our race activities. Plenty of space within the home for our family of 7 adults, was nice to have the extra single bed tucked in a corner. Bought fish at The Bait Shed to grill a few nights and with the great kitchen was able to eat in most of our meals. No storage containers for leftovers, so may want to bring your own. Had a wonderful time, didn't need to contact the host as all was explained in prior email. Would stay again if back in the area.

Nice property

Good location and very well equipped house. However, it is on a very noisy street and there’s a lot of noise coming from the unit upstairs. Other than that, the property is excellent. 3 blocks away from the beach.

COVID Escape

We stayed in the first floor of this 2 family home. It was very well equipped and located very conveniently to the beach and local attractions. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for the entire family. The backyard was very spacious with a gas BBQ grill and outdoor seating for six. The Roku TV and internet access was great for the days we couldn't make it to the beach. The onsite washer and dryer was very convenient. The only complaint we had, was the large couch in the living room. It was old pleather and was flaking everywhere. Each time we sat down and got up it would stick to our clothes. We ended up using the extra sheets to cover the couch during the stay. Other than that, we had a great time and would consider staying here again.

Beach getaway successful!

We had a great time here. The property was just as listed, loved the backyard and things already here for kids to play with. Close walk to the beach and close by anything else we needed or wanted. Kevin was wonderful and quick to respond to any questions before we came, and we didn't need anything once we got here. We will definitely be back again! Thanks for making this little getaway possible for us!

Beautiful Beach home

We are originally from Maine but now live in Florida. We had to go back to Maine as my mother recently passed away. It was easier to get a house for the whole family then to do a hotel. There were 7 of us traveling, myself, hubby, adult son, adult daughter, her hubby, and two grandson's (2yrs and 4 yrs) The house fit all of us comfortably, even with just one bathroom it worked nicely. It has been beautifully remodeled. I loved all the windows and the big comfy chair for reading. Unfortunately the weather was typical of Maine and we had a lot of rainy days so I did a lot of reading. The fenced in back yard complete with outdoor toys was great for the grands, they loved it out there. Everything was very child friendly which was extremely nice, there was even a stool for them in the bathroom. :) Everything we needed was there. The only thing I found missing was a hairdryer and some more wash cloths would have been nice. You could hear the people walking around upstairs (They were there just for the week-end) but it wasn't too bad. I read some complaining about the train, yes you could hear it but it was very quick and after awhile you didn't even notice it. The boys loved running out onto the front porch to watch it. The beach is an easy walk from the house, too chilly for us to enjoy but it was close. Palace Playland and the pier was a little bit of a walk but we enjoy walking so it was fine. There is even a two seater wagon in the back yard that we used. The neighborhood seemed very nice, we never felt uncomfortable walking at night. A lot of other rentals so some times there was a lot of talking on the porches, but nothing that was a problem. We loved staying in this beautiful home!!! Thank you so much or making a difficult visit much nicer than I had imagined it would be. :)

Thank you for your interest in renting the first floor unit of our cottage for your vacation! This house is very special to us and we are excited to share it with you.

Whether it's refinishing an antique chair, restoring a classic Chevy, or bringing an Oceanside cottage back to life, I love making things new once again! I live in Conway, New Hampshire with my wife Susie and our two young sons. We have spent many days enjoying the sun, sand and surf of Old Orchard Beach, and look forward to providing you with a great summer spot for the same!
