Experience the rich history of Old Orchard Beach at this five-bedroom Maine escape, a century-old home with a gracious front porch and a wonderful location within walking distance of the beach. Come inside to find a living space fit for a large family, with hardwood floors, abundant seating, and a ceiling fan to circulate the ocean breezes. Flip through a novel in the rocking chair, pile on the sofa as you browse on your phone, and throw a few logs on the fire to stay warm and cozy at night. Pick up your favorite snacks and ingredients at the nearby Hannaford Supermarket and prepare meals with ease in the full kitchen. Sizzle bacon each morning on the stainless steel stove, use the slow cooker to get a head start on dinner and leave the dishwasher running as you sit down for breakfast at the six-person dining table.

When you've had your fill of sand and surf, you can lounge in the rocking chairs on the wrap-around porch and light the gas grill for a seafood feast. As your bathing suits and beach towels spin in the private washer/dryer, the whole family can gather for movie night on the first of seven flatscreen TVs and a Roku with Netflix. With five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, The Hoxie House will sleep a total of 11 guests. You'll find one bedroom with two twin beds, three bedrooms with a queen bed each, and one room offering a twin and queen bed. Each of the bedrooms is outfitted with a flatscreen TV, and four of them even offer an in-room sink to eliminate any lines at the bathroom doors. Make your next Maine vacation an unforgettable one - spend quality time with your loved ones at this historic Old Orchard Beach home!

What's nearby:
Ideal for swimmers, sunbathers, and beach-goers of all ages, this classic home has stood in the heart of Old Orchard Beach since 1930. You'll be just five blocks from the town's famous stretch of sand, half a mile from the Amtrak station, one mile south of the Old Orchard Pier and Palace Playland, and two miles from the Dunegrass Golf Club. Whether you're a first-time visitor or an annual vacationer on the shores of Maine, you'll find a wealth of family-friendly activity in Old Orchard Beach. Spend your days lounging on the town's seven-mile beach, grab a few afternoon snacks on the Old Orchard Pier, and reserve the evenings for rides at Palace Playland and rounds of putt-putt at Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf half a mile up the road. Make a summer tee time at the Dunegrass Golf Club two miles north, or hop in the car for a ride to Scarborough Beach State Park, Crescent Beach State Park, or Cape Elizabeth to the north of Saco Bay. You'll also be just 18 miles south of downtown Portland, where you can stroll through the historic Old Port and enjoy scrumptious lobster rolls at Eventide Oyster Co.

fantastic!
Hoxie House was clean and roomy with a kitchen filled with any utensil or pan you desire! The wrap around porch and rocking chairs were the highlight! The sinks in each room were so helpful to eleviate traffic in the 2 bathrooms! Location great!

Great house!
Had a great time here. The house itself could use some maintenance (ie: cracks in ceiling and walls, broken sink in one room) but the amenities and location couldn’t be beat!

Such a great house for a big group!
Perfect perfect house and location!! We had such a nice time here. Paper products could be a little more stocked, and the trash bin outside was full when we got there, but those were tiny little hiccups in an overall perfect weekend. Thank you so much, the house made our stay wonderful.

Good layout and location
The house was well set up for a group of couples with equally sized rooms and a couple of bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked. It was also a short, easy walk to get down to the beach. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the house - floors clearly had not been thoroughly cleaned in a long time as evidenced by black soles of our feet after walking around barefoot. The upstairs shower liner was completely moldy and lamps also were full of dust. If not for those things we would have only had minor complaints.

Great vacation house could use some improvements
Our overall experience was good. We rented the house for 12 people and there were plenty of bedrooms to accommodate the three couples and the rest of the kids. I will say that the kitchen was smaller than anticipated and the table was somewhat broken. The deck also posed a few problems as there were many of us that tripped from uneven deck boards. We also had to clean some of the surfaces when we arrived as they were covered in grime and the floors had sand on them.., perhaps the cleaning companies are lacking personnel? We also noticed that there was sand on top of the covers and in between the sheets before we even slept in the beds. The bedrooms could also use some room darkening shades since the rooms are illuminated bright and early! And if you are a light sleeper, the sound of the trains in the night and early hours of the morning might get to you. We did appreciate the air conditioners in each room as they did block out some of the noise. Also, if anyone plans on renting this house plan on bringing your own beach chairs and towels. Overall, We did have a great time and would consider renting out this property again.
