About this property

Large 5 Bedroom Home. 5-7 Minute Walk to the Beach. No Cleaning Fee.

Welcome to 78 Union Ave - at the top of the hill overlooking the ocean. Our home is recently renovated, fresh paint, brand new beds and furniture.

All the original hardwood floors have been refinished, there is absolutely no carpeting, only a few area rugs.

The house features five bedrooms, one on the first floor and and four on the second. A large family room, a living room and a large kitchen fully stocked with a 12 cup coffee maker, Keurig, four piece toaster, brand new LG oven, ice maker, microwave and plate and glassware. Kitchen table for 6 and plenty of seating outside as well. There shouldn’t be anything you need.

The 300+sqft patio has a five burner gas grill with a back up propane tank. Ouside seating includes a conversation patio set, bean bags, stools and a picnic tables, a 10 ft articulating shade umbrella with LED lighting. In addition to the 8 seat fire pit…there are corn hole boards and bags for your use.

The family room has a 50” television and each bedroom has a wall mounted 50” television, all tv’s have Roku built in. The house also features a very strong WiFi network with a mesh relay transmitter on each floor. Very strong signal. Two work spaces at the home as well. One in a bedroom upstairs and one in the living room.

Each bedroom has a ceiling fan and large windows (all windows in the house are brand new). Three bedrooms have AC Units and there is also one in the living room downstairs. All bedrooms feature a queen bed.

All linens are included, as well as bath and beach towels. Also there is a beach wagon, beach chairs and wake boards for your use and enjoyment. There is a pack n’ play and high chair if you need them. Brand new (unopened) full size bottles of hand soap, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash are included (in each bathroom and the kitchen).

There are two full bathrooms, one on each floor. The upstairs bathroom has been completely remodeled and features a walk-in shower. The bathroom downstairs is very large and features a new large capacity Samsung washer and dryer.

There is also an outdoor shower located behind the home.

There is absolutely no cleaning fee for this property. We have always been fortunate to have guests that take care of the property, and our new cleaning company is very thorough…as a result there is no additional charge for cleaning.

We have off street parking for 6 cars and a good size yard to spend time outside with your family and friends. 78 Union Ave is right up the road from the Beach; easy walk. And a 10-15 minute walk to the pier and downtown OOB. Although it’s a very convenient location…it’s important to mention that Union Ave can be a busy road. Traffic noise isn’t necessarily a concern, but it might not be the best option if you have young children and are looking for a home on a road with little to no traffic.

For your convenience the following payments terms have been set up on VRBO:
50% at time of booking.
50% 60 days before arrival.
Cancelation allowed 60 days prior to arrival.

Thank you for considering our home for your vacation in Maine. Let us know if you have any questions, we would be happy to answer them.

Thank you.

Colin.

We loved the house and the owners were very thoughtful. We had a wonderful time and we would definitely come again. We loved that towels and laundry supplies were provided and the dishwasher was a lifesaver.

A Week at OOB

Nice location for walking to the beach and the Pier. It’s an easy drive to Portland too. We had plenty of room for 5 adults and 2 young children. The outdoor deck was nice. Didn’t get to use the fire pit due to some rainy weather. 2 full bathrooms made getting ready in the morning easy.

Beautiful Home close to the beach

What a wonderful place to stay! There were 9 adults and an infant in our party and we worried that things would seem crowded. Actually, there was plenty of room and the walls and ceilings must be really thick because no one (aside from his parents) was disturbed when the toddler had a rough night. Easy walk downhill to the beach (consequently an uphill walk back, but that wasn't bad either) We are already looking into when we can come back!

Fantastic Experience

We found this to be a clean spacious house that easily accommodates two families with teenage children. Kitchen includes large family style refrigerator, plenty of storage space and large kitchen table. The two living rooms allowed for board games in one and TV watching in the other. Beds and sofas were quite comfortable. Outdoor area was equally amazing with outdoor shower, large patio, picnic table, fire pit, etc. We had an amazing week! Highly recommend!

Vacances en famille à Old Orchard

Belle résidence très bien rénovée à environ 10 minutes de marche à la plage. Les chambres sont grandes et confortables. Les salles de bain sont très belles et fonctionnelles. Places de stationnements suffisantes. Le seul point négatif de cette maison est que la cuisine n'est pas équipée pour recevoir 10 personnes en même temps (table et chaises pour 6 personnes).

Family Vacation

This was the perfect vacation. The house fit our needs perfectly. We had 7 adults and 3 children. Plenty of room, convenient to walk to the beach and shops. Colin responded immediately to any request. We loved the house. The BBQ and the fire pit were a big hit. We will definitely be back!

Perfect family vacations

Our family of 10 had a great time in this house. It was beautiful! With 5 large bedrooms and 2 living rooms, we all had more than enough space. Walking distance from the beach and from the pier, it was perfect. The owner was very helpful and quickly answered all of my messages. We would recommend this house to anybody.

Best Beach house rental yet.!

This beach house was beyond PERFECT.! We were a family of 4 adults and 2 kids, We all walked in and immediately felt at home… The cleanliness and care to every detail was apparent as soon as we walked in..! Colin thought of every detail even the small ones.!, to make this house feel like our home for a week. He was so easy to communicate with, he sent us so much info even before we stepped foot in his house. We were fortunate enough to be able meet his brother Adrian and he made us feel very welcomed and my 2 sons really took a liking to him immediately. With Adrian’s recommendation we took surfing lessons right down the street at Mocean. I highly recommend giving it a try, they were just as welcoming and cool to chat with.. The beach was a quick 5 min walk down the street be sure to keep a look out for the adorable bear looking dog he was always sleeping and so cute.! We walked to the pier a few nights and it only took about 15 mins and there was plenty to see and check out while we walked. The location of this beach house was perfect for us. Being so close to the water we were able to sit out on the front porch swing and see the ocean. My 12 year old son fell in love with the Basketball hoops that are basically 2 streets over we were able to walk to those 94 Atlantic ave any basketball players be sure to check them out the nets were fantastic.! Bath towels were amazing, the quality was better then most hotels we’ve stayed in, ALL the beds were super comfortable and the furniture inside and out was in great shape and well Maintained.. Really I can’t say enough wonderful things about this rental.. we have rented many beach houses and other homes through VRBO this by far had ZERO disappointment..

Great location

The house was great for our stay at old orchard beach, just a few block from the beach and centrally located to Portland and Kennebunkport. House was great, road in front was a little busier than anticipated for a beach town. Would highly recommend for a large group of adult or older children

It’s true, 5 stars!!

My wife joked about leaving one-star ratings, so no one else would rent it on us! Everything was there and then some! All I needed was the shirt on my back, literally!! Very family friendly, with room to spare. Everything you’d want within walking distance, and great sightseeing a short drive in any direction. We will be back to OOB soon !

Wonderful OOB stay

Colin's home is beautiful, well located, and very well appointed. The beds are comfortable and plenty. The linens were lovely. Colin went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed (including coffee and even cream for our coffee!) and made sure we knew to contact him if there was anything we needed before or during our stay (there was nothing lacking!). He also provided excellent restaurant recommendations and when we asked for help in figuring out where to go to see the best sights, he provided 2 wonderful drive suggestions. This was one of the best vacation rental we've ever experienced!
