About this property

Cute House -2 Blocks from Beach

Small clean and quiet 2-bedroom 2-bath house on a hill within walking distance to the beach. 2 blocks to beach. There is a small porch overlooking the street, a large TV w/ streaming, comfortable beds, grill, beach chairs, linens, towels, and new appliances. All within a half mile of the pier.
Note: The house has stairs leading up to the main living area. Humans and dogs have to be able to navigate stairs. The master bedroom is downstairs. The house is small, but the upstairs is light and sunny. It was built in the 1940s, so it's not brand new. It has hardwood floors, and it is built into a hill. There is a side yard up the hill. Easy parking for 2 cars.
Definitely not a party house, as the neighborhood is quiet.

Great location - very short walk to the beach, plenty of natural light - and beautiful artwork and houseplants decorate the space. Perfect for our short Thanksgiving “getaway” - had everything we needed - would definitely stay here again!

For a smaller house, it met all our needs. We stayed busy every day sightseeing and came back to sleep. Beds were comfortable and we rested well. The upstairs bathroom was small but it took care of our needs. The area was very quaint and close to the beach which was beautiful in the early morning and before sunset. We had a pleasant stay.

The house was in a quiet area less than a 5min walk to the beach. The bed in the basement was very comfortable (I definitely needed the sleep).

This is a quaint, cost-effective 2 BR property that is walking distance to the beach, decent food options and conveniently located to explore the surrounding area including Portland up to Boothbay Harbor, or down to Kennebunkport. If you have issues w/ stairs, this might not be the place for you (we were fine). The owner was very nice and helpful.

Perfect weekend in fall

The place is cozy, well decorated and makes you feel right at home. On a very calm street, it's a 5 minutes walk to the beach and to the superb memorial park, the perfect place for our energic Frenchie. We totally recommend this place!

Great Place to Stay at Old Orchard Beach- close to everything!

We stayed here for a long weekend in June and just loved it! There is a large full kitchen with 2 large bedrooms and plenty of storage space, and having 2 bathrooms was awesome. It's just a short walk to the beach and all the attractions and restaurants, yet quiet and away from all the chaos. Jan is the best, and quick to answer any questions that come up. We are definitely coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Jan Veinot

Host profile image
My name is Jan. I own and live in the house. I am working in North Carolina currently so I have opened my house to share as a rental. I ask all that come to stay to take care of the house as it has my personal things in it.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property as my retirement home. It has a cottage in the backyard.

What makes this property unique

The house is unique because it is not set up as a rental. It has high-quality mattresses, appliances, and decorations.
