My family and I had a great time visiting OOB at this excellently located comfortable VRBO. The back yard was fabulous wish we had more time to hang out at grill.

Owner Kevin was responsive to questions and accommodating when we requested a later checkout. The living room/bonus bed area was hot when temps were 90°+. ACs are only located in the 2 bedrooms. House was comfortable when the heat wave passed. 15 mins walk to the pier and 5 mins walk to the beach. We could hear the upstairs family/children walking around, we didn’t mind as we also had small children on the trip. House was as advertised. Would stay again in the future. Great option, close to the beach.

Stayed for the Ironman 70.3 race. The location was under 10-15 min walk to the beach, pier and all our race activities. Plenty of space within the home for our family of 7 adults, was nice to have the extra single bed tucked in a corner.
Bought fish at The Bait Shed to grill a few nights and with the great kitchen was able to eat in most of our meals. No storage containers for leftovers, so may want to bring your own.
Had a wonderful time, didn't need to contact the host as all was explained in prior email.
Would stay again if back in the area.

Good location and very well equipped house. However, it is on a very noisy street and there’s a lot of noise coming from the unit upstairs. Other than that, the property is excellent. 3 blocks away from the beach.

We stayed in the first floor of this 2 family home. It was very well equipped and located very conveniently to the beach and local attractions. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals for the entire family. The backyard was very spacious with a gas BBQ grill and outdoor seating for six. The Roku TV and internet access was great for the days we couldn't make it to the beach. The onsite washer and dryer was very convenient. The only complaint we had, was the large couch in the living room. It was old pleather and was flaking everywhere. Each time we sat down and got up it would stick to our clothes. We ended up using the extra sheets to cover the couch during the stay. Other than that, we had a great time and would consider staying here again.

Beach getaway successful!
We had a great time here. The property was just as listed, loved the backyard and things already here for kids to play with. Close walk to the beach and close by anything else we needed or wanted. Kevin was wonderful and quick to respond to any questions before we came, and we didn't need anything once we got here. We will definitely be back again!
Thanks for making this little getaway possible for us!

Beautiful Beach home
We are originally from Maine but now live in Florida. We had to go back to Maine as my mother recently passed away. It was easier to get a house for the whole family then to do a hotel. There were 7 of us traveling, myself, hubby, adult son, adult daughter, her hubby, and two grandson's (2yrs and 4 yrs) The house fit all of us comfortably, even with just one bathroom it worked nicely. It has been beautifully remodeled. I loved all the windows and the big comfy chair for reading. Unfortunately the weather was typical of Maine and we had a lot of rainy days so I did a lot of reading. The fenced in back yard complete with outdoor toys was great for the grands, they loved it out there. Everything was very child friendly which was extremely nice, there was even a stool for them in the bathroom. :) Everything we needed was there. The only thing I found missing was a hairdryer and some more wash cloths would have been nice. You could hear the people walking around upstairs (They were there just for the week-end) but it wasn't too bad. I read some complaining about the train, yes you could hear it but it was very quick and after awhile you didn't even notice it. The boys loved running out onto the front porch to watch it. The beach is an easy walk from the house, too chilly for us to enjoy but it was close. Palace Playland and the pier was a little bit of a walk but we enjoy walking so it was fine. There is even a two seater wagon in the back yard that we used. The neighborhood seemed very nice, we never felt uncomfortable walking at night. A lot of other rentals so some times there was a lot of talking on the porches, but nothing that was a problem. We loved staying in this beautiful home!!! Thank you so much or making a difficult visit much nicer than I had imagined it would be. :)

Comfortable and great location.
We visited in the off season, not much going on in October. This was our first time staying in a VRBO property - very good experience! This place was a great location - very close to the beach. Besides a few minor things, this was a clean and very good place to stay. Old Orchard Beach is a charming resort town - cute shops and restaurants. Only negative - the street in front was a little loud (a lot of traffic - even now). We went to Joseph's (great food and beautiful view) and Sea Salt Lobster - both were wonderful! I can only imagine how fun it is here in the middle of summer!

I thought it was closer to the beach than it actually is
It was a very beautiful house, I guess the pictures were a little
deceiving as far as the beach goes. It looked like the path to
the water was off of our deck. Also, every time someone walked
upstairs or talked, we could hear them. And the neighbors were
partying across the street all night. I guess it was just not what I
had expected. But it worked out just fine

The ideal home with a perfect location!
We stayed at Kevin’s house from August 11th-18th. Despite the bad weather, we had a fantastic time in Old Orchard beach! The beds were so comfortable and the bedding equally so - Refreshing to not have to bring our own bedding and towels as most other rentals require. The photos do not do the house justice - the space was so much larger than expected! The kitchen had everything we needed! Josephs’s by the Sea was a lovely place for drinks and dinner! Would definitely go back again! I rate this property a 5 star out of 5 - Kevin responded to our queries in a very short time and the reading area in the house was part of our favorites! Thank you Kevin, the proximity to the beach was absolutely fabulous! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! An unforgettable summer holiday, conveniently located between Ocean Park and Old Orchard Pier!

Better than the pictures! Super Clean. Very spacious. Had everything you could need.
We were very happy to arrive and find the property bigger, cleaner and more updated than we expected. Online pictures don’t usually show the whole truth when you are viewing a rental property....usually turns out not as good- BUT NOT THIS TIME!! We found everything about this rental far exceeded our expectations. Plenty of onsite and on street parking. Truly walking distance to the beach Also- free street parking very close to the beach. Plenty of yard space. Inside was clean and up-dated. Plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, necessities like soaps and paper goods. Roomy, so many windows, comfy beds, kitchen stocked very well for all cooking/serving needs including lobster equipment! Would definately stay here again.

Great place at a good price
What a beautiful cottage this is! We had plenty of room for everyone and it's just a short walk to the beach. I could not have asked for a better place to spend our vacation. Knowing we had this place to come home to everyday made our stay that much more enjoyable!
Sincerely,
Kevin

Worked well for our family!
This property is 1 unit in a 2 unit home. Our neighbors renting Unit 2 were a little noisy for us because we have two children we wanted to get to bed early, but that's not something the owner or VRBO could have done differently! The location is good with a short walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to a small market/cafe with great coffee and breakfast options - Tami Lyn's. Property was well-equipped with all you need for a stay in OOB. They even had all of the proper tools for an at-home lobster feast! The kitchen was particularly good with all of the gadgetsyou could possibly need. They also had a selection of board games, which was fun. Just bring beach towels and you won't need anything else!! The property was clean when we arrived and the access was very easy/owner was helpful! Would definitely return.

Great little house. Very cozy. My family and I felt very comfortable there. Short walk to beach and a great little convenience store on the way. Union Ave is a little busy but overall a great place. We would go back again! I

Wall to wall windows and a short walk to the beach
We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The rental was clean, well equipped, and the location was perfect. The house advertised coming with towel and blankets, but we were also happy to find it had laundry detergent, dish soap,and hand soap. It even comes with a large assortment of books and board games. We were a short walk from the beach, could see the ocean peaking between houses and even caught the Thursday night firework show from the deck. The newly-renovated historic house boasts endless views in the kitchen and living room with wall to wall windows. The house is well laid out and great for family gatherings. The bathroom was spacious and the washer and dryer were so convenient. We even cooked out on the propane grill in the roomy backyard one evening. The property owner was also very accommodating. He made sure that we had all the information we needed prior to our arrival and that he would be available if needed. He even had a welcome binder with interesting information about the house, the area, and local restaurants.
My only critique is the TV service was intermittent, which is the fault of the service provider, not the property owner.
