Perfect for Families & friends re-unions! Outdoor Hot Tub, 50 yards to the beach!

This has to be the Best looking house in Old Orchard Beach! Our Beach house is so close to the Ocean you can smell the salty air off the water and you can see and hear the waves crashing. This 3 story home is ideal for families and friends reuniting and spending either a long weekend together off-season or a week together during the height of the summer season. Located on a quiet, serene cul-de-sac street that leads on to Maine's best hidden treasure The beach! Only 15 Minutes from Downtown Portland, and 90-120 minutes from Downtown Boston! It is extremely easy to get to. Our Open floor plan makes for a very relaxing visit. I highly recommend watching the video we recently uploaded so you can take a tour of the house, the patio, back yard. and the main living area inside the house on the ground floor. The Living room leads out to a large patio and garden. It comfortably seats 6-8 people. Alongside the living room is the open Kitchen. It looks out to the spacious living room and dining room areas. It offers state of the art appliances with a large, long island for 8 or more people to sit around. The new dining room table sits 10 people. There is an additional seating area off of the dining room with a comfortable couch and chairs with a large gas fireplace making this area very cozy! Newly installed, Italian, country style outdoor dining table with pergola awning above offering afternoon shade. Beautiful, large balcony on the 2nd floor offers a gorgeous sea view, while the quaint 3rd floor balcony has a more intimate feeling for two chosing to star gaze over a glass of wine. From here you can clearly see all of Old Orchard Beach, Ocean Park, Biddeford Pool, Pine Point, Scarborough Beach, & Cape Elizabeth. Our beautiful fenced-in yard faces the quiet road - A landscaped stone pathway leads from the large patio to the gate that you access for the Beach. Outdoor patio furniture includes sun beds and table and chairs, gas fireplace & grill with comfortable sofa and chairs. Built-in hot tub - seats 10 & private, outdoor shower. Comfortably sleeps at least 24 guests with 1 master suite bedroom on the first floor - King Size Bed (memory foam mattress); 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor - 2 Queen Size Beds, plus a dorm-like bedroom with 9 single bunks beds, plus a bonus living room area with a queen size bed and three additional couches; a large master bedroom suite on the 3rd floor with King Size Bed, additional bedroom offers 3 single beds, plus bonus living room on 3rd floor. 6 bedrooms in total.

Common questions:

Can I walk into town from this property?
Yes, of course. The downtown area of Old Orchard Beach is only 1/3 mile. One can easily walk along the beach to the pier and up the main street. Or one can walk along West Grand Ave. It too is a nice walk with safe sidewalks on either side of the street.

Do you rent in the off-season? fall, winter and early Spring time?
Yes. We rent our property year round. Popular off-season dates include Columbus day weekend, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years' Eve, Valentine's day, Easter, Memorial Day weekend.

June: mid to high 70's
July: mid 80's
August: low to mid 80's
September: mid to high 70's

Is it too cold to enter the sea in the summertime?
Absolutley not! beach goers are in the ocean throughout the summer. In mid July 2021 the ocean temperature reached 74 degrees!

Can I book this property to host an event?
Over the years we have hosted weddings, memorial services, graduations & Big birthday celebrations, reunions, & Work / group retreats.
Feel free to liaise with us about your desire to host an event at our property.

I am not sure what the final number of guests will be. I understand above 12 guests you charge $50 per person per night. Can I let you know what the final number will be closer to the date of my booking?
Yes, absolutely. This is very common. As soon as friends or family members see photos of the beachfront property their busy schedule often times opens up, and they wish to come along.

I am trying to book for next summer but I cannot locate any available dates why is this?
We have opened our calendar to accept new bookings for the summer of 2026. We accept Saturday to Saturday reservations only from the middle of June through the beginning of September with a 7 night minimum stay. If these dates do not work for you and your guests we recommend booking alternative dates in May, June, September or October as Old Orchard Beach is just as beautiful in the late Spring / early summer / late summer & early fall, or booking one of our other beach properties


If there are any issues on the property, who do I contact and how quickly are you able to resolve these issues? All guests are given my personal cell phone. Should there be any major problem inside the house I ask guests to contact me right away. I will be sure to address any issue as expeditiously as possible.

GORGEOUS house

Nearly 20 adults stayed in this house over a rainy Maine weekend for a work retreat, and we had a spectacular time! The downstairs kitchen + dining room + living space was large enough for massive amounts of food and mingling about, and to play games after. The fire pit + hot tub were a huge hit, and there was more than enough space for every to sleep comfortably and then some. Its just moments to the beach or a quick walk into town. When I had low-stakes problems ("where are the extra garbage bags?"), the hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. Can't recommend staying here enough.

As large as this house was, it still had an intimate home-feeling atmosphere. It was clean, comfortable, and right on the beach. I recently visited with a bunch of friends and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. There were nights that we canceled reservations just to stay in and enjoy the house. I fully recommend this property to anyone looking. It’s especially great for larger parties.

We lucked out with a beautiful beach sunset, and some gorgeous sunrises. The hot tub and fire pit were wonderful ways to enjoy the outside and relax together. Fully stocked kitchen with more than enough plates and glasses, and even decorative platters to serve up delicious dishes. Highly recommend!!

Old Orchard in April

Lovely stay at this gorgeous property- a real treat! So close to the ocean, we could hear the waves. The one full day we were there was a big storm- we were all impressed with the ocean! Excellent communication. The area, as expected, is pretty closed up during this time of year. But we loved hunkering down and enjoying the house. Lots of board games, tea, family meals, fireplace stories, and hot tub time. Thank you for a memorable stay with our family!

We are a family of 6, four children ages 14 on up. We have been coming to Old Orchard Beach for the past 18 summers. Our children absolutely love playing on the large beach. This past summer they took up surfing lessons with the Corner Surf Shop. Blake was a fantastic instructor! He took videos and photos throughout their daily surfing lessons and posted them on his website each day. We take long walks at sunrise, 4-5 miles! If the kids are for it they join us for an early evening walk once the tide has gone back out.

My wife grew up in the next town over from Old Orchard Beach. She spent her summers as a child on this beach and dreamed of owning a property nearby. We have 4 children who have spent their summers here at our beach house. They absolutely love coming up to Old Orchard Beach, each summer. We all have fond memories. Enjoying the beach, walking into town - either Old Orchard Beach or Ocean Park. Two polar opposite towns; one loud and busy, the other a sleepy, dry town. Our property is located just 2 or 3 blocks from Ocean Park, just 50 yards in from the beach!

Events on site:
Over the years we have hosted weddings, memorial services, graduations & Big birthday celebrations, reunions, & Work / group retreats.
Feel free to liaise with us about your desire to host an event at our property.

Lastly, the very best trip was had last summer when I packed my family in the car and drove up to Kennebek river and went white water rafting at Crab Apple White Water company. The guides are awesome, funny & attentive. The water ride itself is quite thrilling. You can jump out of the boat and coast down the river for 10 minutes toward the very end of the ride. Ideal for adults, teenagers and pre-teens, ages 10+. It is a 2.5 hour drive but so worth it! Don't leave there without bringing photos home with you as cameras are set up on the banks of the river. The photos are just priceless!!!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

Most tourists who come to Maine in the summer return each year. The beaches are breath-taking. You can walk for miles and really let your mind wonder! While the water is not comparable to the temperatures of the water in the Caribbean, the wake is mild and child-friendly, most of the time...
The beaches are wide enough and long enough that you're not trampled on by other tourists. They are clean and easy to walk on. We enjoy this part of town, as it is quiet, residential, and little, to no traffic, whatsoever!

You really don't need a vehicle if you're staying at one of our properties, with the beach right in front of us, and the Downtown area, a pleasant 15 minute walk, it makes this vacation so relaxing, not having to sit in traffic.

If there is one thing we highly recommend all of our guests do at least once, is to wake up early and walk along the beach toward the pier at Sunrise. Take your coffee, your phone and your sunglasses with you, kids too, if you can get them up, you will see the most amazing sunrise!! It is truly an amazing experience.

We enjoy this section of town as we are so close to Ocean Park. The Soda Fountain is one of our favorite breakfast places to visit. We typically sit outside, on their veranda, and watch people walk on by. The owner & staff are all extremely kind & very friendly.

Other things to do with the kids:
Fun Town USA - theme park
Splash Town USA - water park (they are attached to each other. The park is located in Saco, the town next door.

Aquaboggan theme park. More suitable for younger children. Also located in Saco.

Palace Playland - you can walk to. It is a fun themepark with amusements. It is located in front of the pier. A very pleasant 15 minute walk!

Pirates Cove - mini golf. This place is a fun favorite for my family. It is an easy 10 minute walk, it is open in the day & at night.

The Memorial Park has basketball & tennis courts and a fun playground for your younger children.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Our beach house is the 3rd house in from the beach. It sits on a sleepy, cul-de-sac, street that has only 5 houses on it, as such, we have allowed our children to walk back and forth from the beach to the house by themselves. If you're standing at the edge of the beach you can watch them walk into the yard, and into the house. We are that close to the beach! The ocean views are spectacular, especially from either the 2nd floor bedrooms, porch & third floor bedrooms. The garden / yard is so formidable that there are days where you won't want to leave it to go to the beach. Our outdoor, stone-built hot tub was one of the best investments we ever made! We keep it open year-round, we love to sit in it in the middle of winter! We installed a gas fire-place on the other side of our stone patio and have comfortable couches that surround it, making it an awesome place to gather and socialize. There is also a huge sun umbrella that covers most of that sitting area. An enclosed, outdoor shower sits beside the hot tub, a long outdoor, dining table with bench seating sits underneath a pergola, and a large, Weber grill stands right beside it. It has a gas line connected to it, so no propane tank issues, ever! Our driveway, beside the house can comfortably park 6 - 8 vehicles, depending on their size of course. There is additional, free parking on the opposite side of the street. Inside our beach house, it is so comfortable & relaxing. With the French windows open you can smell the salty, sea air, and hear the waves crashing. The open plan style throughout the house is just so family friendly - you always know where your kids are playing. We built a fun basement for kids to play table tennis, skee-ball, foosball, etc. We supply our guests with 10 beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas, boogy boards, wake boards, kayaks, kids bicycles, beach toys, balls & more. We hope you will enjoy staing at our beach house and will treat it as if it were your own.
