About this property

Sadie's Place in Old Orchard Beach

This lovely and comfortable beach house is two blocks from the beach. I named it for my grandmother, Sadie, who is part of the four wonderful generations of the Thompson Family. We take great pleasure sharing our home with you and yours.

We know how important time away with your family is. When you pull into our driveway, you'll be welcomed by the smell of the Atlantic Ocean, the wind blowing gently through the air. Across the street sits Memorial Park, with beautifully kept grass that begs you to take your shoes off and walk freely, a playground and library to entertain the kids, and tennis courts just in case you feel the need to work on your backhand. The sounds of summer will be all around you - live music on the gazebo in the park, laughter from the amusement park just down the road, and seagulls singing overhead.

Front enclosed porch to relax on in the morning for breakfast, or after the beach, and a back patio with table and grill for renters use. Beach gear provided (beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, coolers, beach carts).

When you arrive at the house, you step into the entryway equipped with a full-sized washer and dryer, with direct access to a 3/4 bath just in case you want to wash up after a long day at the beach. The kitchen is spacious, equipped with most cooking basics, and even has a speaker in case you want to have a relaxing night listening to music while you cook. Living/dining room has a 60" HDTV with a Roku and Blu-Ray player, as well as board games and books available for you to use.

For sleeping arrangements, there are two bedrooms with a queen bed, a downstairs bedroom with a full bed, and a kid's bedroom with a twin/full bunk and a twin with a trundle underneath.

Linens, bath towels, paper products, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, dishwashing pods are all provided.

Sadie’s place

We had a great week. Lots of beach and amusement park time. Ben was very helpful with letting us know things like where the most convenient grocery store was and anything we needed to know about the house.

The house was far more spacious than we realized from the online photots. The location was perfect. Every we needed was just a short walk away but the house still felt quiet and private.

Best Place to Be!

We spent the 4th of July week at Sadies Place and it was excellent! The house itself hasots of charm, plenty of bedrooms (including one on the first floor which we needed) Two bathrooms with showers. Washer/Dryer, Dishwasher and Grill outside with firepit. The location can't be beat. One block from all tbe amusements and short walk to the beach!!!! our kids and grandkids loved it and hope we stay again. In addition the big front porch is a plus. We got to watch the fireworks from our porch!! Ben was a great host!

Amazing spot!

We had amazing time at the property. The house was so cute and close to everything and exactly as advertised. It's a five minute walk to the beach, shopping, ice cream, pizza, mini golf and you get a great view of the fireworks on Thursday nights from the house.

Wonderful stay

Close to the beach and pier. House is ready for a week of fun. Full kitchen. Washer dryer! Towels! Beach gear! Just bring your clothes, food, and adult beverages. We spent hours on the enclosed front porch people watching but had privacy in the back with patio, grills, fire pit and patio furniture. Ben the host is wonderful. No issues with check-in or check-out. Hoping to come back!

Perfect Location!

Needs a deeper clean, but discussed issues with Ben and he was super apologetic and said he'd talk to the cleaning person. There is one shower only, with very poor water pressure, but the hot water lasts, so you just need to take longer showers to get the shampoo out and sand / sunscreen off. Ask Ben if you need more towels than those that are stocked in bath. Bring toilet paper and paper towels - the ones provided didn’t last the week for our party of 8. Walgreens is super close if you run out! Kitchen is amply stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. There are books & games for rainy days. Wifi is so-so, but you can watch TV with Roku. The screen porch is lovely in the morning and evenings. A/C works great. Ceiling fans too. Owner provides beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and beach towels. Fire pit, too! Would stay here again - the location (and friendly host) trumps all minor inconveniences.

Love Sadie's Place

Everything was great. Location couldn't have been better. We don't drive and everything we could want was in easy walking distance including the train. Beach, amusement park, restaurants, grocery store, lobster/farm stand (had amazing pie!), ice cream, breakfast places - everything. Very relaxing time. Thanks Ben!

Sadie's place is amazing

This is our 2nd summer staying there and everything was great. We didn't need for anything. We were one block from the beach and all the fun OOB has to offer. The house was super clean and stocked with necessities. Even has beach chairs floates etc. I highly recommend Sadie's place.

Perfect in every way

Sadie’s place had enough indoor space that the 6 adults and 4 children in our party weren’t on top of each other all the time. We even had a nearby family member join us for a few nights and he said the couch on the enclosed porch was super comfy. We spent most of our time using the outdoor space for enjoying the ocean breeze and grilling out. Beach toys and chairs galore were available to borrow, which was a huge crowns pleaser for the kids. The fun of palace play land and the pier were just steps away (no more paying to use the restroom) but the smell of fried food did make us break our diets once or twice! The house is full of a ton of amenities we didn’t expect: Bluetooth speakers, games, books. If you need to fill time on a rainy day saidie’s place has you covered. My advice: go ahead and book it! And when you get there, do yourself a favor and spend some time hanging out with Ms. P. You won’t regret it!

Amazing house, owner and property manager

We had an amazing week! The house was everything we hoped for and more. Ben the owner and Pauline the property manager were available for any questions and were very welcoming. We were 2 families and there was plenty of room. Very close to the beach and you can see fireworks from the porch. The sun porch was one of the best features of the house. We can’t wait to go back.

A View

Our favorite spot in the house was the lovely screened-in porch. We sat for hours and people watched. You can also see the Thursday night fireworks from there! Some days we had mostly all windows open bc the breeze was amazing! Our family of 7 fit perfectly in Sadie’s Place. We had everything we needed at the house or within a 5 minute walk.

Phenomenal vacation

This was our second time staying at Sadie’s Place. It was as wonderful as the first time. The house is a great size for a family of 5/6. The location is wonderful - right off the main OOB strip but away from the really loud beach noise. Easy walking distance to the beach (like 2-3 minutes max). The screened in porch is awesome with a light breeze blowing. Communication with the owner was really efficient. We definitely recommend! Thanks for another great stay!

Location is KEY!

Nice two family home. We only saw the occupant of the other unit once the entire week. The owner lives next door and they are super nice. Property manager is very responsive to questions. Bedrooms are spacious, ample closet and dresser space for clothes in each room. Plenty of bath towels. Three boogie boards, a skim board and a small sand cart are at the house for occupants use! Super close to carnival and all of the downtown OOB sights and restaurants! No ice machine in the freezer so maybe bring a bag with you. Hoping to get back in next year!

Very satisfied with property. Clean, spacious. Great location to nearby attractions. Walking distance to beach and Pier. Well equipped kitchen. Beach buggy, blankets, toys, towels all provided.Enjoyed our stay very much. Would recommend all windows on front porch have screens. Also the addition of an outdoor shower option would be an asset. Otherwise no complaints. My family called this property home for the week we stayed. Sad to leave!

This was a great place to stay for our family vacation. It is incredibly conveniently located. The neighborhood was very quiet, the house was phenomenal and clean. This was the best lodging we have had for our family vacation, and we have been traveling to the OOB area annually for the last 16 years. We couldn’t recommend Sadie’s place more. It was/is awesome!

About the host

Hosted by Ben Thompson

Host profile image
The Thompson family grew up in Old Orchard Beach. We have found great pleasure working on The Thompson Family home named after my grandmother, Sadie. We are a happy family, active in our community, and well-known for our sense of good humor and passion for the environment. The care we have for our home, and ensuring it is clean and comfortable for the wonderful families that entrust their summer memories to us is of the highest importance.

We are happy to help with making your stay here in our hometown the best it can be.

Thank you for considering our home.

Why they chose this property

This home sits across the street from the Town Library and the Veteran's Memorial Park. You are right near the heart of downtown, 2 blocks from the beach, and walking or biking distance to the local grocery store and pharmacy. The sounds of the summer town are all around you, from the floating sounds of music to the cheers of fellow vacationers as the rides lift them up into beach air.

What makes this property unique

The house is 135 years old. Unlike some more modern builds, the solid standing of this house through the course of time is a marvel. Tended to with care by Ben, 3rd generation Thompson, and his loving partner and boys, the home will be here for many more years to come.
