About this property

Oceanside cottage home with wraparound porch

Welcome to your Summer getaway, just steps from the beach! View the ocean from the large wraparound porch and make new memories with your family and friends. This is the downstairs apartment of a classic Maine cottage, built in 1900 as the second house back from the beach, with hardwood floors and ocean views. The unit has a bright, spacious living room and a well-equipped kitchen. There are four bedrooms (3 full, 1 with 2 twins), each with air conditioning. The bathroom has a shower. The backyard has a grill and an outdoor shower, for a quick rinse after visiting the beach. The ocean is just a few steps from your door, and the 7 miles of beach are beautiful throughout the year.
During the Summer, bookings are Saturday to Saturday. You will need to bring your own sheets and towels. You can park one car in a designated parking space next to the house.

Union Ave is a quiet road with beautiful beach houses. The best sandwich place in town is down the street and many other shops and restaurants and a laundromat are around the corner. It is a 10-minute walk to the pier of Old Orchard Beach. The quaint village of Ocean Park, with its ice cream parlor, shuffleboards, and tennis courts, is also a short stroll. It is a 20-minute drive to Portland, with its many restaurants, art and culture, and the mall. You can walk to the Amtrak station in Old Orchard Beach where the Downeaster stops regularly from mid-May to September, and head to Portland, Freeport, or Boston. The train also stops year-round at the Amtrak station in Saco, which is a 10-minute drive from the house. In the off-season, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of Old Orchard Beach and its beautiful coastline. It is a 20-minute drive to the University of New England’s Biddeford Campus and 25 minutes to the University of Southern Maine.
