About the host
Hosted by Marc Gagne
Owners Marc & Martha, both retired high school teachers, with a combined teaching career of 70 years hold Bachelor & Masters Degrees from the University of Southern Maine. He has lived in Old Orchard Beach all his life and she has resided there for the past 20 years. The purchase, remodel and decorating of the SEAGLASS COTTAGE (located adjacent to our home) has been a labor of love. The complete overhaul of the property began in 2004, with the first rental tenants arriving summer 2005. An additional construction project in 2008 added the second bathroom and master bedroom. Successful and rewarding rental seasons (as can be noted by the reviews) have occurred ever since. Marc's remodeling & construction skills combined with Martha's artistic eye and creativity, have helped to create a beautiful, comfortable, welcoming, coastal retreat perfect for making summer memories by the sea. Color choices, bedding, furnishings & decor all add to the coastal feel and provide tenants a "home away from home" easy to acclimate to, and hard to leave. Many tenants have made returned visits summer after summer.
