Cute and Spacious home close to town !

Judy's home was a great choice for our family. We were able to walk to the "boardwalk" area and the kids loved the rides and games. It was easy and quick to get to other great Maine destinations from the house as well. Judy was easy to communicate with and very quick to respond. Would recommend this home to friends and family.

Great time. House was perfect

It was a perfect getaway location and house. The house was very clean and stalked with everything we would ever need. Hot Tub was amazing. Fire pit was stalked with enough wood. The owner was there to meet us and show us around. We will definitely love to come again

Wonderful Long Weekend Stay!

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the property owner, who gave us a tour of this classic New England shore house. The accommodations were excellent: the beds were comfy; the window a/c units did their job, and the place just had an overall feel of warmth and comfort. It was a relatively short walk to the beach and the amusement area: about 4/10 of a mile. Lobster restaurants abound. We had our fill.

Enjoyed Orchard Beach

Judy is an excellent, helpful host. Her home is very clean and well-maintained. The kitchen, in particular, is well outfitted, the neighborhood is quiet, while close to the beach/amusement zone. The Backyard is a nice evening retreat. We had a wonderful time.

Nice time at the beach

Had a great time in Old Orchard. Quick walk to town, stores, pier and beach. several nights had live music at the pier and/ or local parks. House worked well with our family and indoor and outdoor spaces were good for us. Kids also used the hot tub which was nice.

Old Orchard Getaway

True to description- the house has everything you could possibly need. Note that there are lots of rugs and breakables and a fairly steep staircase, so not ideal for older people who may have some mobility issues. Judy was super responsive to our questions along the way and provided some good suggestions.

Maine Road Trip

This property was especially close Portland which made day trips so easy. The home was comfy but definitely not for young children as there are too many breakables everywhere. The backyard was great as it had a grill, firepit and hot tub to use after a long day.

NOT a place for children

If you’re a family with children and expect to socialize with anyone while you’re in OOB, then this is NOT the place for you. My husband & I have a 2 & 5 year old daughters and were looking to have a relaxing vacation, enjoying the beach, amusement park and local scene. The house itself is nice, with a hot tub (that she doesn’t allow children in), about 20 extra chairs cluttering the backyard (but no guests are allowed), seating for 15 in the kitchen (again - NO guests!!) and many, many fragile, breakable trinkets scattered throughout the house. Upon arrival, I needed to ‘kid proof’ the interior for two hours while my husband took the kids into town. There were elaborate displays of crystal glasses and family heirloom pictures from the early 1900’s- engaging, but NOT rental-friendly! We noticed two wicker chairs were damaged upon arrival & put them in the shed. When she came over to water her lawn for almost two hours, (during a drought) she brought the chairs back out from the shed and rudely accused us of ruining them in front of our kids. She later deducted money from our deposit (we're not allowed to disclose the amount, but it was too much). My husband was very diligent about cleaning the hot tub. My parents and sister own a hot tub, our children are in them all the time. We know how to clean hot tubs and use them properly. She accused us of “letting our children use it as a play pool” and “trashing” it. My parents stopped by for lunch (they’re pushing 80 and one of them is going through chemo, and therefore I can only see them certain days of the month.) She cited the rental agreement and threatened to KICK US ALL OUT due to them sitting on the porch for a few hours, they never even went inside. On the surface, Judy is a very thoughtful woman who welcomes her guests with s’mores set-ups, dish soap and a full spice rack. But, after a day, it felt like a trap as she was clearly very nervous about children in her fragile house. Coupled by texts, calls and visits to “water her lawn” and to “check on the hot tub,” Judy made it very difficult to relax. If you have children with you for this vacation, choose another place to enjoy OOB!!

Family Fun Homebase

We went up with our 3 kids ages 8-20 and they ALL had a blast. The house was very clean, extremely comfortable, and had everything we needed. So close to the beach we only used our car to go get groceries. The hot tub at night after the youngest went down was so relaxing after a full beach day. And the back yard is so beautifully gardened and private. It’s so homey and welcoming we didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to get back again! Thank you Judy for allowing my family tradition to live on by sharing your lovely space with us!

Great location -

Judy was a great host. Very prompt communication, easy check in process. The unit was fully equipped with everything you’d need - towels, cooking dishes/utensils, etc. The best part was the outside fire pit/hot tub. Perfect place to relax with friends for the weekend. Only a short drive to the main part of OOB with bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.
