About this property

Oceanfront Home |1 1/2 acre beachfront |7 mi Sandy Beach | 3 Wrap-around Porches

Picture yourself on our beautiful porches for the most relaxing moments of your day...  the sun porch with a hot cup of coffee and a direct ocean view, the breezy open porch for cocktail hour and a cotton candy sky, or the screened porch at the huge hand-carved table with your family and friends for a fresh-caught lobster dinner.

With panoramic ocean views throughout most of the home, a large oceanside yard perfect for family play, a private path to the quietest section of Maine's longest sandy beach, and all the amenities you require... ours is the perfect home for your next vacation.
Our family home's location is perfect. We are around the corner from fresh lobster and local restaurants and just a couple of miles from Old Orchard Beach and multiple grocery stores including the gourmet "On the Vine" in Scarborough. We are a short drive to Portland, Kennebunkport, and other charming destinations. But even with every modern convenience nearby, you will feel like you arrived at a quiet retreat the minute you walk up the path and catch your first breath of ocean air.

The kitchen is fully stocked with pantry staples, plentiful glasses for your happy hours, a propane grill in the gazebo, and two indoor and two outdoor dining areas. Kids are welcome in our home and we provide a pack-n-play, high chair, children's books, and family games. You are also set for the beach with 10 beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie boards, and sand toys!

This home has been in our family since 1895 and is very special to us.  My husband grew up spending many happy summers here and our children and grandchildren have made made countless special memories in this house as well. We hope you will enjoy it as we do and care for it like it is your own family's home.

Great memories
Our daughter got married during our stay so it was a destination wedding for us. We had 7 adults plus a 2 yr old and the house served us very well! It was quaint with an old-time charm, but the kitchen had modern appliances. The large porch looking at the ocean was great for our morning coffee! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will always have great memories of our daughter's wedding thanks, in part, to the beautiful location.

A Week to Remember
Great house! Communication with property manager was amazing and very transparent. Gorgeous views from two of the three porches. Home has a lot of traditional character and is located on a great area of the beach between Pine Point jetty and OOB pier. Private beach path was fantastic! Our family included 8 adults,1 teenager, and 1 younger child. Enough room for quiet time but enough space for us all to be together!

the perfect vacation beach house
We loved this house so much! THREE porches -- open, screened, glassed-in! Great kitchen. I wish it were air-conditioned (climate change has, alas, reached Maine), but there were fans in every room. We've already reserved a week for next year

Host profile image
This special home has been an important part of our family story since 1895, providing generation upon generation with incomparable summer memories. We, our children and grandchildren continue to make special memories at this wonderful house on this beautiful beach.

Why they chose this property

Our private beach path leads from the large ocean side yard where many a game of touch football, wiffle ball, croquet and spike ball have been played.
Our three porches, gazebo and outdoor seating give lots of spaces to be alone or be together, all with gorgeous ocean views.

What makes this property unique

We provide many extras that other vacation homes do not - beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, games, puzzles, DVDs, children's books, high chair, travel crib, pantry staples and more. We are a family who loves this house and we want you to have an exceptional time here as well.
