Pine Point-Old Orchard Beach / Scarborough

A dozen of us rented this place for my sister's 40th birthday weekend, and we had a wonderful time. The house is laid out beautifully, with a bathroom, nice big livingroom, the hot tub, and most of the bedrooms upstairs. Downstairs is a large open layout with the pool table, another living room, the kitchen, dining area, and bathroom with another bedroom off of it. The kitchen was small but well supplied, and we made good use of the long bar off of the kitchen!

We were able to spread out throughout the house, with ample room for relaxing, playing games, playing pool, or just sitting and chatting. We had plenty of space to enjoy several different games and puzzles at the same time. The only disappointment was that the motor in the hot tub was not working, so we were not able to use it.

The only thing that kept us from giving the property a 5 star rating is that the cleaning was not very thorough. We were the first guests staying at the property after the winter, so I know that the first clean was a big job, but there were quite a few things that were missed. That said, the management was very attentive to any requests that we had, and even let us check in early and check out late because it was still the off season.

The surrounding area is very beautiful - you are on the beach, and there are small stores within walking distance. I think it would be a great place to stay in the summer - it was still on the cold side when we were there, so we staying inside most of the time.

I would definitely stay at this property again. It would be perfect for a family gathering or a girls' weekend. Thanks to the stair lift that goes upstairs and down, my grandmother was even able to join us for a few hours.
