About this property

OCEAN PARK-Cozy Cottage~Ocean Breezes~Set in the Pines

CREATE FAMILY MEMORIES TO LAST FOR A LIFETIME/FOR GENERATIONS!

Cozy cottage set in the pines of Ocean Park with a private deck facing a brook. There is out door seating for 6 on the deck, with a gas grill for your barbecues. An inside dining room has additional seating for 6-8. You will love the up-dated features that maintain respect for the historic qualities of the cottage and setting. The bath features an original footed tub (with shower added)... and a pedestal sink complements the era. Two upstairs bedrooms feel open and airy. The front bedroom is connected to a sunny sleeping porch that now serves as a separate reading nook. This room has 2 twins that may be used separately, or maintained as a king bed. The second bedroom is smaller, and is usually kept as twin beds. A sofa bed in the living room adds space for two more guests.

You will love the old 1950s feel of the community, the privacy of this setting, yet you will still be in the midst of it all. The cottage is conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, tennis courts, shuffle board, and local charm. Ocean Park is in southern, coastal Maine where 7 miles of sandy beaches are at the end of the street. Opportunities for riding the waves, kayaking to a light house, hiking, walking, surfing, biking, Ferry Beach State Park, and cultural and educational programs are all right at your finger tips. Enjoy Southern Coastal Maine. 15 minutes by car to Portland International Jetport, 1 1/2 hours to Boston/Logan.

This is our second year staying with Lin. The house had the wood floors refinished, new carpeting and a new paint job. Lin is responsive and pleasant to talk to. We will be back next year for sure..

Quiet end of street house 5 blocks from Beach

House was very clean. Nice furniture. Beds were nice. Kitchen could use a few more pans/griddle. The bathroom could use some work. The tub was hard to get in/out of. No space to put things like a counter. All in all, We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Our Vacation

Everything was as advertised. We loved the cottage and felt right at home. Our 8 year old Granddaughter said she wanted to stay forever. It was a wonderful time of making memories with her.

Fantastic cottage, only 7 min walk to the beach

Ocean Park is a cute village right on the ocean. This property is exactly as listed and perfect for a family. The walk to the beach is only 7 min or if you bring a bike it is much quicker. The owners are responsive and the property is clean with nice touches around the house. The only downside is that there are aggressive mosquitos outside so be sure to bring some bug spray (note: this is not unique to this property, it is generally the case around Ocean Park).

Great little house in awesome Ocean Park

The house worked great for our family of four. We slept well in the king size bed and also did our daughters in the twin beds. Luckily, we didn't have to use the fold out couch that seems to be at the end of it's life. The carpet upstairs is quite old too but overal all, we didn't mind too much. The water pressure was great and the dishwasher and the washer and dryer worked really well! The kitchen could be better equipped (no salt, pepper, coffee or oil) and the two pans where small. Other than that, the location is perfect and we really enjoyed our stay!! :)

Cute cottage close to beach

We always enjoy visiting Ocean Park. The beach there is terrific. This house is about three blocks from the beach, so a pretty easy walk. It’s a pretty quiet street and our kids were able to ride bikes and skateboard up and down it as well. The house itself was small, but accommodated our family of five ok. We used the pull out couch to make it work. The house was a bit musty, but turning the air conditioning on helped and I’m sure running a dehumidifier would help too. The owners were very accommodating and responded to our communications promptly.

Cute little cottage

Very cute cottage on nice quiet street. Nice to have Washer/dryer and dishwasher even though we didn't use them. Wi-Fi and air conditioning definitely came in handy. Back deck was nice to sit on and relax after being at the beach all day.

Vacation of Mold and Mildew

This cottage sits on an earthen basement and next to a swampy area. This combination results in the cottage have mold and mildew problems, to which my family has sever allergies. We stayed one horrible night in the cottage, and escaped at 5 AM the next morning. We were forced to seek other accommodations. The owners were notified and brought a new air conditioner for the upstairs, but this did not resolve the problems. In addition, the old clawfoot tub does not drain well and you will stand in ankle deep water, the floor boards have lots of gaps and dirt is trapped in those spaces, so it is impossible to clean them. It was more like a camping then a nice cottage. VRBO will not let you submit without stars, this is the only reason I gave this property ANY stars - very disappointing.

Perfect Summerhouse for a walk to the beach

We enjoyed our stay. We were there with 3 kids. That worked perfect. The kitchen is in a good shape and everything to cook is there.The bathtube works and the waterpressure is excellent. We enjoyed that we could walk to the beach and drive in a short time to Portland and other Places.

REVEIW UP-DATES

REVIEW UP-DATES: We realize that people rely on reviews to make vacation decisions. We have had no reviews for a while because we have been enjoying the cottage for personal use. The cottage is also occupied off season by families in transition. I will be up-dating the listing to show improvements, that we have added a washer/dryer and have cable and internet for everyone's additional convenience. Please feel free to send us a message if you have additional questions or concerns.

Decent cottage near beautiful beach

We have stayed here for the last 2 summers. It is a cute cottage that is nicely decorated in a beachy theme. Great location about 2 blocks near beautiful Ocean Park beach. Nice little ice cream shop and gift store nearby. It is also a short drive to the busy Old Orchard area which is a fun place to walk around but it is nice not being in the thick of it all week. Funtown / Splashtown is always a hit with the kids and is just a few minutes away. Movie theater nearby as well. Lots to do! The cottage is a small, quaint place. The bedrooms upstairs were ok though they were very hot for sleeping. We mentioned it to the owner before renting a second time and she was very responsive and purchased an air conditioner the second year after we mentioned it and it made it more comfortable. The bath/shower isn't ideal. Nice looking claw tub but not very practical. Priced right to account for the pros and cons! Owner was responsive and nice to work with.

nice cottage

Potentially nice little property. There was no brook and the back lot was all grown in. We were really disappointed that the deck was unusable due to so much mold and mildew. The shower was very difficult to use withou flooding the floor and the carpets were not clean. Overall, this could be a very nice little getaway with just a bit of owner attention to it. It's location is wonderful.

June 2010, 2011

I stayed here a couple of summers. Nice peaceful location about 5 minute walk to quiet ocean beach and about 30-45 minute walk to OOB pier. The two upstairs bedrooms are twins, one of them with the ability to push beds together. Neither room has a door on it, although the first year I did buy curtains that I hung in the doorway. The shower is not big and the water temp kept changing on me. Something kept getting in the trash outside, so I was having to clean that up. Cute little cottage though. Town has tennis courts, post office, deli, ice cream, gifts, and couple of restaurants.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I love southern Maine for its beauty... for the many opportunities for 4 season recreation, and for the convenient access to cultural and historic activities in Portland/Boston.

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful setting in the privacy of the pines, yet within walking distance to 7 miles of beautiful sandy beaches. You can visit for hours with friendly folks at the Soda Fountain, browse for gifts, visit the library, attend worship, play tennis, golf, shuffleboard, or participate in numerous educational, musical, or cultural activities, kayak, go hiking, visit Ferry Beach State Park. It's a wonderful place to be in the summer!

What makes this property unique

Great family oriented community where memories are made!
In addition to the beach, (at the end of the street), the rec hall, tennis courts, shuffle board courts, post office, deli, soda fountain, gift shops, children's play area, and library are all within walking distance
