Second time staying here

We had a nice stay. Location is 5-10 min walk to all that OOB has to offer. The fenced in yard is a great area for dog & grilling out, with both shady & sunny areas. My only suggestion would be to get a pull out couch in basement area as there are only cots there to sleep.

OOB 70th B-day

Great stay. House very functional. We had as many as 6 adults and a 1 and half year old and house never felt crowded. Great location for beach walks and putt-putt golf! Owner Steve super friendly and very responsive to questions and trouble shooting (wifi down after thunderstorm, and disoosal stopped... magic switchs to flip!) Will be back.

Perfect Location!

The house was the perfect size for my husband and I and our two friends. The location was great. Neighborhood was quiet but walking distance to the beach. House was close to lots of activities in Old Orchard Beach but also for our day trip to Freeport, South Portland and Cape Elizabeth but also there was great restaurants when we wanted a break from cooking. House was very near to Hannafords to pick up items for meals. Definitely would consider staying there again.

Fantastic home and location

Myself my husband, our adult children, 4 yr old granddaughter and our dog stayed at this rental. It was the perfect spot, spacious with a wonderful fenced in yard. My granddaughter loved the swing that was hung on the big shady tree. We spent a lot of time in the yard and also on the screened in porch. We are hoping to make this a yearly family trip and would love to rent this home again.

A Peaceful Place!

We highly recommend renting this home from Steven and Lyn. They are so nice and communication was wonderful, and their place is so peaceful! It’s a five minute walk to the beach and a ten minute walk to the OOB pier. Their fenced-in yard was perfect for our dog to play! The fireplace added a lovely touch to their beautiful home! We had take-out from The Clambake, Ken’s Place, The Front Porch, and Taqueria 207. We enjoyed a short walk around Cascade Falls and enjoyed a day trip to Oqunquit (walked Marginal Way). You will not be disappointed with this rental and there is so much to do/enjoy! We will be back to enjoy the summer and look forward to this home being a part of our vacation experience for years to come. Thank you Steven and Lyn for welcoming us into your home!

This was the first time we have ever rented a house. I am so glad we did!!!

This property is in a great location. We were able to walk to most places and there are many food options close by. The weather wasn’t so great The week we were there, but we had fun playing games, watching movies and playing outside. A huge plus that we were able to bring our little dog with us. The front porch was his favorite place to sit and watch people walk by. We will be back!

Great place to stay!

This is our second summer staying at this property, and we couldn't love it more. Its clean and spacious, and gives a home away from home feel. You are able to walk to the beach, the shops, and pier within minutes, and when you return to the house, it is quiet and peaceful.

Perfect family beach vacation

My husband and I could have easily spent the week without leaving the house, except for a daily walk on the beach, but our kids kept us busy. Steve’s recommendations for food and entertainment were spot on. We had hot weather during our stay which prompted several days of air quality alerts. We had the air conditioner running most of the time. The fans were very helpful upstairs at night, but can only do so much with extreme heat. We loved the various seating options for being outside in the evenings. The patio set was perfect for us to all be together when one was grilling and the kids were playing in the yard. We spent most mornings and nights on the porch. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening drink and conversation. The kids loved playing cards at the table out there. It tended to be our gathering place before we would go out for the day. You can see the fireworks show from the porch, as mentioned in one review, but you will miss about a third of the show which falls below the tree line/is obstructed by houses. We opted to stay at the house for the fireworks as we had already walked down to the pier and the beach on two separate occasions that day, and we were fine with what we saw. It was the perfect family beach vacation!

Charming, homey, perfectly located!

The neighborhood was nice, the beach is close. Lots of good restaurants to try, shopping not far. Loved the porch, and the big casement windows next to bed in master bedroom. Only drawback was no upstairs bathroom. We did not have good weather, but still a relaxing time!

About the host

Hosted by Steven Nielsen

I grew up in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, two towns over from OOB. Graduated from CEHS 1974. Live in Connecticut now, but still love the whole Portland area and the ocean especially. Salt air is good for the soul.

Why they chose this property

There's just something about this house. Warm, cozy, it just says 'relax.' The porch is great -- always a breeze. As a musician, for me the term 'adagio' perfectly decribes this place: in a leisurely manner.

What makes this property unique

Lots of interesting built-ins. Corner lot provides plenty of parking.
