About this property

Charming Victorian beach house. Quiet nhbrhd

Having accumulated 15+ years of experience with high end, short term rental beach properties in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, our focus is providing you and your family with the most mermorable getaway/vacation. The location of this property is sublime. Situated in a quiet neighborhood of Old Orchard Beach, known as Ocean Park. Our newest beach property sits just 3 houses in from the Beach. With wrap around porches to sit out on and relax either alone or in good company with your coffee in the early morning or glass of wine in the evening, there is ample space and rocking chairs to enjoy around the outside of the home, and on mulitple levels! So if you wish to really hideaway we recommend hanging out on the 2nd floor, outdoor balcony! Upon your arrival, assuming you have already stopped at exit 32 Market Basket in Biddeford and picked up all your necessary supplies for the weekend/week there is little need for your vehicle. Unless you wish to explore the awesome restaurants just 20 minutes away in Portland, especially the Old Port section. The Downtown area of Old Orchard Beach is a comfortable 15 minute walk (to the Pier) where you have your choice of breakfast restaurants such as JJ's, Cafe 64, Good Thyme Cafe or Beach Bagels. Alternatively walk the family down to the Soda Fountain in "sleepy" Ocean Park, just 10 blocks South of the house. They open at 7am and offer a nice, simplistic menu, extremely family friendly!! Alternatively across the road at Ocean Park Subs & Grocery you may find yourselves standing in line to pick up World famous Cinnamon rolls, muffins and coffee to go!
Back to the house... there is plenty of space to sit and lounge inside, whether you choose to sit in the kitchen area by the beautiful bay windows overlooking the property, the sun room that is filled with childrens board games etc... or the living room that has an awesome gas fire place right underneath a XL flat screen TV. There is no cable TV at the house. We removed that and installed Amazon Fire Sticks so you can watch your sports, TV shows & movies on your own Streaming network, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc..... The house has WIFI internet service. To ensure maximum WIFI reach throughout the house WIFI extenders have been installed. Very comfortable bedding has recently been purchased, including mattresses, linens, pillows & bath towels.
The house has parking for up to 4 vehicles on site. There is free parking directly in front of the house if additional parking space are needed. One can park their vehicle on the street for the entire week without any restrictions or charges. Of course the beach house comes with an awesome grill for your outdoor grilling needs. The kitchen is stocked with all the necessary dishware, silverware, glasses, mugs, pots & pans etc. Both a regular coffee maker and a brand new Keurig coffee maker is available (Keurig coffee maker makes both a pot as well as individual cups). We start all our guests off with the basic necessities including paper towel in the Kitchen, toilet paper in the bathrooms, body wash soap, shampoo & conditioner, hair dryer. You have your own washer & dryer so no need to wear the same bathing suit / swimming costume, pajamas and sweat pants every day of your stay unless of course you prefer to! If you need anything during your stay we ask guests to call or text us. We are more than happy to assist you to ensure the very best vacation experience is had by all!
Recommendations of things to do / places to visit:
Palace Playland (Old Orchard Beach) small / medium sized theme park with amusements, video games, etc... Less than 1 mile away
Fun Town / Splash Town: Large theme park / water park located in Saco - approx. 1 mile awy Aquaboggan is another water park located approx. 1.5 miles from Fun Town, also in Saco. This is a smaller theme park, more for younger families.
There are numerous golf courses close by, mini golf too! Tennis courts & a fun playground for the kids to enjoy across the road from the train station - 1 mile walk from the house.
A day trip to Portland is always fun - especially in the old port. Great gift shops, clothing stores & restaurants to visit.
The Eastern trail is a great trail to walk on. My family have walked and ridden our bikes along this trail numerous times over the years... But most impressive is the long walk you can take on the beach. Over 7.5 miles of mostly flat sandy beach. We highly recommend getting up early and getting your exercise in. And watching the beautiful sunrise over the ocean, spectacular views!!
Freeport, Maine, Kennebunk/Kennebunkport Maine, Ogunquit & Kittery are all really nice towns to visit.
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!!!

Awesome house - didn’t appreciate surprise request for extra $$ morning of check in
Planned for our wedding with family members. House doesn’t sleep 20 as advertised. Futon in kitchen/back entrance was not a sleeping option for us. Day of Checkin an additional $600 was requested when I thought we were paid in full. Was charged even for infant same as adult VRBO customer service was excellent negotiated - just didn’t like the last minute surprise the day of Checkin - I was upfront at booking with the numbers of children -but wasn’t invoiced for them initially is what appears to have been the issue

About the host

Host profile image
Short term / high end rental business has quickly become my focal point over the past 10 years. Old Orchard Beach, Maine is where you will find our family checking guests in, making sure our cleaners have done a thorough job throughout the property and to ensure complete satisfaction from our arriving guests regardless of the season! We are open year round!

Why they chose this property

Why this property? We have been eyeing this property for years. We have another property right around the corner from this property, so as soon as it went on the market we scooped it up. Old Orchard Beach, Maine is our favorite place to vacation. It truely has all 4 seasons. And guests do enjoy coming up for a long weekend in the middle of winter as well as Spring, summer & fall.

What makes this property unique

The house and grounds has so much character. It really stands out from the rest.
The property was once a farm and stretched approximately 200 feet to the sandy beach. Over the past 150 years the farm has since disappeared and two lots were divided and sold. We plan to oversee this property well into retirement - if there still is such a thing!
Very ornate workmanship around the outside of the house. Just an awesome looking home that will be well looked after for many years to come. We hope you will enjoy your stay here.
