Fabulous Location

The house was exactly as listed, perfect for 5 adults. We could easily walk anywhere- beaches, reataurants, etc. Could use some darkening curtains as a few outside lights shine right into a couple windows at night but otherwise this house was great. Had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. My father is 73 and the stairs were no Issue for him, just mentioning this as others had brought it up. Thanks for letting us use your home!

Cute house at 3 minutes from the beach. All was fine the thing I will say is the tap water smelling bad so we use bottled water and with the feeling to live at someone’s place. (Used sponge and open food in the fridge)

Nice cottage, a bit on the funky side but pleasant. 2 blocks from the beach. Could definitely use a new couch, fix the front door, and better bedside lighting. Note that the damage deposit was 1500 which was actually charged to my credit card before we arrived and I didn’t get the money back for more than 2 weeks later. A nice float for someone but I had to cover it because of my cards billing cycle. VRBO says this is their policy. Seems wrong to me. Anyway, a nice place.

This is a quaint, cost-effective 2 BR property that is walking distance to the beach, decent food options and conveniently located to explore the surrounding area including Portland up to Boothbay Harbor, or down to Kennebunkport. If you have issues w/ stairs, this might not be the place for you (we were fine). The owner was very nice and helpful.

The house was all the good things I read about but we had to leave after 2 nights. On our third day while making coffee and toast at the same time, the fuses were blown & we learned the electrical panel needed to be updated. We couldn’t get the electricity back & with much warmer temps coming & no AC, we opted to leave. The owner refunded our money for the days we were going to miss which was exactly what she needed to do. She apologized for the trouble via text. We had spoken several times on the phone prior to this happening & I thought it would’ve been nice if she called me to discuss it but she did not. We spent half the day packing everything back up & etc then of course it took time to find a new place that fit our budget so I feel like we lost a whole day by the time we found a new place & unpacked etc. This was only my 2nd experience using VRBO, & the first one interestingly enough there were plumbing issues & they needed to bring in a plumber to fix it, so just bad luck?? Or are properties not being accurately represented. If the price seems reasonable or a good deal maybe things are not up to snuff???

Belles vacances au Maine

Excellente expérience. Bien situé. Endroit calme. Près de la plage et du centre-ville. Équipement complet dans la maison. Je suggérerais d’ajouter des stores dans la chambre au 1er étage ainsi qu’une quatrième chaise à la table à dîner. Communication très claire avec l’hôtesse. Nous a même proposé d’utiliser les planches de plage. Flexible dans l’heure de départ pour répondre à nos besoins.

Emplacement idéal!!

Nous avons bien apprécié notre premier séjour à Old Orchard Beach. Points forts: L'emplacement est excellent! Pas trop près de l'action pour entendre les bruits mais tout se fait à pied! Nous n'avons pas utilisé la voiture durant tout notre séjour. Matelas très confortables, draps et serviettes propres. Climatisation récente et performante. Communications faciles avec Jan qui s'est montré accomodante. Points faibles: L'entretien ménager laissait à désirer... j'ai écrit à la propriétaire à ce sujet afin que ce point soit amélioré pour les futures locations. NB Il est vrai que les marches sont abruptes, mais nous n'y avons pas vu d'inconvénient, même avec nos enfants (4-6 ans).

Great Place to Stay at Old Orchard Beach- close to everything!

We stayed here for a long weekend in June and just loved it! There is a large full kitchen with 2 large bedrooms and plenty of storage space, and having 2 bathrooms was awesome. It's just a short walk to the beach and all the attractions and restaurants, yet quiet and away from all the chaos. Jan is the best, and quick to answer any questions that come up. We are definitely coming back!

Perfect weekend in fall

The place is cozy, well decorated and makes you feel right at home. On a very calm street, it's a 5 minutes walk to the beach and to the superb memorial park, the perfect place for our energic Frenchie. We totally recommend this place!

About the host

My name is Jan. I own and live in the house. I am working in North Carolina currently so I have opened my house to share as a rental. I ask all that come to stay to take care of the house as it has my personal things in it.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property as my retirement home. It has a cottage in the backyard.

What makes this property unique

The house is unique because it is not set up as a rental. It has high-quality mattresses, appliances, and decorations.
