Sandy Castle,sleeps 14. Renting for 2019

We had 15-18 people staying here for a week, and all of us were impressed with the house and the location.

With 5 kids, we loved how the basement became the "Kid Cave" where the kids could sleep and have fun. The adults enjoyed the jacuzzi tub, outdoor seating area + fireplace and the large living room was perfect for the family talent show. We also really appreciated the owners leaving bikes and beach equipment for us to use.

The house was about a 15-minute walk or 4-minute drive to the beach and convenient to local stores (and a 5-minute walk from an ice cream shop and playgrounds).

We are a large diverse family and we all agreed that we'd love to stay here again!

We loved the house , plenty of room and parking . We had anywhere from 9-11 people and there was room for more . Bikes ,beach chairs , outdoor eating area with 2 tables , at least 1 shaded as the sun rotates. Laundry machines plus clothes lines out the side door. A/C in every room , ceiling fans , beautiful ceiling lightings, wall insert dressers , yes they make the room quite awesomely ! Loved it!

We had an awesome week with anywhere from 11 -14 of us there at any one time with still sleeping space to spare. Clean and nicely decorated, large rooms and comfy beds. Plenty of seating for meals both inside and out. Suitable supply of dishes and cookware. AC and fans in all rooms. Owner is very responsive to all needs. Large round table in the basement suitable for playing cards and board games with the family. A 10 minute walk to the beach, maybe 20 minute walk to the pier but who doesn't need the exercise? You can always drive and pay the parking fee if need be which is fairly reasonable. We did make use of the wagon provided which was a big help. I would certainly recommend this rental property to anyone and would consider renting this again if we revisit Old Orchard Beach in the future.

This was a great house and honestly the photos here don't do it justice. We had a group of about 10 and then had a few other people come up for a few days at a time and it was perfect for that. All of the rooms upstairs were comfortable and a nice get away from the rest of the people downstairs. There are about 6 beds i believe in the basement but realistically its hard to sleep down there. But this issue could be fixed! The basement had a tendency to be a bit humid, hot and musty so everyone who slept in the basement the first few nights ended up sleeping upstairs on the couches for the second half of the week which was a bit disappointing. There was some sort of ventilation unit in the basement but it didnt seem to work as it would only push out more humid air. Other than that the only other issue we had was the trash situation. With a house that holds well over 10-12 people one recycling bin and one barrel wasnt nearly enough. These are issues that can easily be taken care of and hopefully when we start looking into OOB houses again this winter for next summer these issues will have been addressed and we would gladly rent here again. Our group has already been talking and we really want to rent again next year but we've all come to the conclusion that itd be best to only rent again if these issues are addressed. Other than these small issues this house is great. Mike is a great guy to do business with, he's always around to answer calls and texts and is very professional. The location is decent with a 10 minute walk to the beach and about 20 minutes to the pier which is a bit of a hike back after a night at the pier but we made it work. Theres a hannafords grocery store about 7 minutes away in Saco, but since were more familiar with it we chose to drive 20 minutes to Biddeford to go to Market Basket instead for our groceries (their prices are the best anywhere) OOB is a great little town and this how was great but with a few changes i really think it could be wonderful! P.S. the cleaning lady was a sweetheart. We made sure the house was spotless for her as the house is very large for one person to clean in the short period of time before the next renters arrived.

This house is amazing with lots of extras! We had 13 people in our party but you could easily sleep 16. It is beautiful home, in a good neighboorhood, it was very clean. However it was a bit of a jaunt to the beach and the pier and other attractions but the walk was good exercise and there is plenty of parking areas to choose from. I would highly recommend this rental to my friends and family.
