Cozy, clean home

Tee had a grey time with our stay at this home. It was clean, well stocked, had enough space for the 6 of us. The owners came over to check in with us the first day to be sure we were all settled which was sweet. They had plenty of beach towels, chairs, beach cart, grill, books, etc. we will for sure be looking to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful Stay!

My family of 5 just spent the most wonderful week at Marc and Martha’s Old Orchard beach cottage! This home is beautiful, clean, fully stocked with everything you need and in the most ideal location to the beach and pier. My boys (9, 6 and 2) spent hours at the beach enjoying the waves and playing in the sand. The location was the most convenient walk to a beautiful beach—the house is equipped with a beach cart which makes bringing all the beach accessories that much easier! It was an easy walk to the pier (or a quick drive and parking) at night to enjoy the rides, food and fun! We loved every part of this house and location—We look forward to coming back!

Great place!

We loved our stay at OOB. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Everything was very well stocked. There were tons of bath towels, beach towels, linens/blankets, beach blankets, etc. The beach cart was great for getting all of your stuff down to the beach, and they also supplied beach chairs and toys. You really don't need to pack much for your stay because they've covered just about everything. The location was great, too. It was a quiet area, a short walk to the beach, and just a bit further to the downtown tourist area. Recommended!

Incredible Cottage

I always read reviews but take what they say with a grain of salt. This little piece of heaven rec’d wonderful reviews so my sister and I booked it. you just cannot find another place like Seaglass Cottage. Marc and Martha are the best hosts, there is everything you need there and they provide things you do not need to bring with you. We invited two girlfriends to come spend a night with us and they just loved it too. we hope to rebook for another week next summer. It was soooo clean, beautifully decorated, color coordinated, perfect walk to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. It deserves 5 stars!

Classic Beach Cottage

This cottage is extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. The owners thought of everything renters could want. They were very friendly and helpful regarding places to go and things to do. Although OOB town and the beach were a short walk away, we seniors spent our time exploring the sites and surrounding towns. It was a perfect central location to do so. We feel very lucky to have found this vacation rental.

Lots of tips/reviews of surrounding area in the house. Kitchen/bathrooms excellently stocked, comfortable beds and the front porch is an absolute gem and the best place to sit on a summer evening!

About the host

Hosted by Marc Gagne

Host profile image
Owners Marc & Martha, both retired high school teachers, with a combined teaching career of 70 years hold Bachelor & Masters Degrees from the University of Southern Maine. He has lived in Old Orchard Beach all his life and she has resided there for the past 20 years.
The purchase, remodel and decorating of the SEAGLASS COTTAGE (located adjacent to our home) has been a labor of love.The complete overhaul of the property began in 2004, with our first rental tenants arriving summer 2005. An additional construction project in 2008 added the second bathroom and master bedroom. We have had successful and rewarding rental seasons (as can be noted by the reviews) ever since.
Marc's remodeling & construction skills combined with Martha's artistic eye and creativity have helped to create a beautiful, comfortable, welcoming, coastal retreat perfect for making summer memories by the sea. Color choices, bedding, furnishings & decor all add to the coastal feel and provide tenants a "home away from home" easy to acclimate to, and hard to leave. Many tenants have made returned visits summer after summer.
