Cabin at the Beach
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Cute, comfortable, and just three easy blocks from the soft sand of Old Orchard Beach, this cottage is full of the simple pleasures of coastal living. It's a place to stroll home to after beautiful days of swimming and beachcombing, light the grill on the deck out back, and spend your evenings relaxing in fragrant ocean air.
This cottage sits half a mile south of downtown Old Orchard Beach, well within walking distance of the Old Orchard Pier, Palace Playland, the Amtrak station, and all sorts of shops and eateries. Yet it's also just removed enough to be relaxing and quiet - where you can unwind in a recliner on the glassed-in front porch, glimpsing the Atlantic Ocean at the end of the road.
Walk home from the beach to find a living space that's cool, breezy, and full of sunlight (with window AC in the living room and bedrooms). As fresh local seafood sizzles on the gas grill out back, get started on your favorite side dishes in the well-equipped kitchen and set the windowside dining table for dinner. In the evenings, you can watch your favorite movies on cable or streaming, use the high-speed WiFi to check tomorrow's surf report, and leave the day's swimsuits and towels to spin in the washer/dryer downstairs.

Small quaint cottage with everything we needed. Close to the beach and plenty of places to eat and shop. Quiet street could hear the ocean from the house.

Beautiful Property close to the beach!
5 min walk from the beach and how easy it was to get around to grocery stores. I'm very thankful that my family I were able to stay at this property and experience Maine for the first time! Highly recommend!
Nice size living area and kitchen. Good location, easy walk to beach. Bedrooms are small and cramped, small bathroom, and the beds are noisy. No dishwasher

Overall, we enjoyed the stay in the house. Excellent location and a short 5 minute walk to the ocean. Lots to do in the area and easy peasy jump on the interstate to Portland and Kittery Outlets. The front porch has some comfy reclining chairs to read a good book. The kitchen i

Adorable Cottage close to beach with fenced yard for you dog
Absolutely adorable quaint little cottage, and highly recommend. Very clean, and had everything we needed for a short stay for my dog and I. The fenced in yard is huge bonus and we both enjoyed the enclosed front sunroom each morning having coffee while she watched anyone who walked by.
Location is perfect, being so close to the beach and we met some very friendly neighbors.
Very happy with our stay and will return.

Comfortable cabin
We were 2 adults with a dog, the cabin was perfect for our 3 days stay ! The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds comfortable, the 5 minute walk to the beach perfect for us. Neighborhood very quiet. And the fenced yard for the dog just what we needed !

Cozy & convenient
Compact, but with everything we needed! Lovely sitting area in the 3 season front porch. Quiet neighborhood but close to beach & downtown. Highly recommend the new Asian House restaurant/shop just a few minutes walk away—food & bubble tea were delicious!

As advertised
The house is cute. The space is well used. Bathroom and bedrooms are dated and have an unfinished feel. The linens are THE WORST. The stay would have been fine if the towels and sheets weren’t so rough and cheap. The kitchen was nice and well stocked (except no corkscrew).

Very clean, functional space in a great location
This house was great for our family of four. The check in process was very easy and the house was very clean. The front porch was great as a second living area so the kids could play in one room and adults could read or talk in the other. Our only concern would be the front porch had nails that stick out of the wall and an exposed outlet. It wasn’t that troublesome because our kids are old enough to stay away from them, but if you have any children under 4, I would think twice before renting or using this area with them. Also, the bathroom had no functioning light. There was a note left on the whiteboard letting us know when we arrived. A battery source of light (flashlight, lantern) would have been nice to have. We had to leave the door open or use the bathroom in the dark at night. The location is great! Short walk to all the boardwalk activities and far enough away that it was quiet and relaxing. Overall, a great stay.

Thank you for your detailed review, Julie! We’re thrilled to hear that our home was a great fit for your family and that you found the check-in process easy and the house very clean. It’s wonderful to know that the front porch served as a perfect second living area for both kids and adults.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the nails and exposed outlet on the front porch. Safety is a top priority for us, and we will address these concerns to ensure a safer environment for all our guests, especially those with younger children.
We also apologize for the inconvenience caused by the non-functioning light in the bathroom. Your suggestion for a battery-operated light source is a great idea, and we will consider providing that for future guests.
We’re glad you enjoyed the location and found it both convenient and relaxing. Thank you for your valuable insights, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Loved it!
The kitchen and dining room areas were very spacious and made it easy to cook, make drinks and play cards with 7 adults, a baby and a large dog! We had dishes and pots to make all we needed. The grill was all ready to go, but we ran out of time to use it. We even had access to a brand new washer/dryer in the basement with laundry soap for a quick load. The home was very clean, warm and cozy. The 3 couches and beds were very comfy. We spent our downtime reading and chatting on the sun porch. During the day, the sun made it toasty warm (we visited in April). at night we put on the decorative Christmas lights and throw blankets for a relaxing wind down before bed.
We loved our walks to the beach. Our large senior dog was relaxed with his bed in the living room where he could keep an eye on everyone. The added bonus for him was the small fenced in backyard. He was able to sun himself on the deck and take his time on potty breaks.
We absolutely loved this little place and highly recommend it. It felt like being at home! We will absolutely be back!

Small old cottage away from the ocean
I had a good time despite that I was expecting a better place. The cottage is a few blocks from the ocean by car but in a good neighborhood. I was disappointed not to have a closet to hang up my clothes or some furniture where to put my luggage. I had to leave them on the floor. One of the rooms had an empty opening which could potentially be a closet with no door and a rail to hang up my clothes. Also, the entrance to the room was uneven which could cause an accident. I was not happy about the basement not having a lock. I think the place needs some more TLC before being rented again. On top of that, we were a family of four who stayed for four days and we were given only 2 rolls of toilet paper. I had to buy my own. And, the bathtub did not even have a rubber mat so I spent my first day shopping for things for the cottage. Next time I will stay in a hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Pros: It is an older house, but was as clean as you can get an older house. Check in process was easy. About a 5-6 minute walk to the beach, but beach chairs, umbrella, and a buggy were available. CONS: The house reeked of stale cigarette smoke when we arrived. I am not sure if the previous guest smoked, but the smell was embedded in the curtains and even the walls. The basement was incredibly musty/moldy smelling. I understand about the water table and that basements are musty, but this was really bad. I think it was unhealthy and probably needs to be checked for mold. When we contacted Vacasa about the cigarette smell, an after hours person ( because we got there after 5:00) responded and said we would be contacted first thing in the morning by the local company and they would bring an air purifier or move us and would compensate us bc this was advertised as smoke free. BUT- no one contacted us until 5:30 pm the next day and just left a voicemail saying that they can’t do anything about the smell but we can have 10 percent off our next visit. I tried multiple times to reach Vacasa again, but no response. Why would we want yo stay at another of their properties? Poor responses to issues, for sure. I would not recommend staying here bc I truly think the smell in the basement is unhealthy and it reeks of old cigarette smoke. We left early. The place needs to be thoroughly repainted with KILLZ and all rugs/carpets/curtains thrown away and the basement checked for mold.
