We just got home from spending the last week in this unit and are already counting the days until we go back (next year). We had never been to Old Orchard Beach before and boy were we surprised at what a great vacation spot this was, especially with our kids (ages 2 and 5). Our first impression as we were driving to the unit was we couldn't believe how close this unit is to the strip. You are literally one street to the left of the strip that has tons and tons of gift shops, places to get food (pizza, ice cream, fries, seafood, etc.) and restaurants. Each place had happy hour specials and there was live music. There are so many bars so if you have a babysitter there is plenty to do as far as the nightlife. You are only a 5 minute walk to a carnival with a large arcade and then the beach. We brought a beach buggy so we piled everything in (cooler, toys, towels, beach boards - even our 2 year old). it was very convenient to walk to and from the unit to the beach which we did multiple times a day. Breakfast and dinner we ate in the room. They have everything you need - I actually over packed because I didn't think they would have things such as vegetable peelers, pasta strainers, can openers, measuring cups/spoons. They even had containers for left overs. They have a very large island (big enough to seat 10 comfortably). We enjoyed our meals looking out the window at a playground directly below the unit, the carnival rides but most importantly the beautiful ocean. It was as if you were on a cruise - all you saw going out was beautiful ocean. You are so close to where everything is that you hear the screams on the roller coasters. You are also only a short walk to Pirates Cove mini golf and the trolley stop (only $2 for adults for 1/2 ride which the kids loved). We had perfect view of the fireworks on Thursday (absolutely no obstructions). Although this unit is on the 3rd floor the stairs are not bad (both my kids walked up and down them). The beds were very comfy, the unit was a lot bigger than it appears in the pictures and the couches were also very comfortable. We loved the bar stools (we are actually going to purchase them). If you have never been to OOB we strongly encourage it, but most importantly, we recommend this rental property. it was very clean and we definitely felt at home. My kids also loved the train which we saw/heard from the unit. Thank you to Karen for opening your home up to us and we will definitely be going back next year.
