Great spot!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay here immensely! Valancy and Steve communicated with us perfectly prior to our arrival and upon our departure. The house had everything we needed and more and we loved all of the suggestions of things to do and places to eat! It was a wonderful way to celebrate her college graduation and my birthday!!

Literally not a single complaint. We go to Maine (usually Wells) and the Cape. We tried this and it was a good choice. No bathtub for our 15 month old was a little challenging but we made it work. It’s also in the more quiet part of the main avenue which for us was preferred. Was very clean and organized. Owners have excellent communication.

Wonderful place to stay in OOB!

Our family of four (two adults, kids aged 6 and 12) just spent a fantastic vacation at this perfect little house in Old Orchard Beach. We had never been to New England, and this house could not have been a better fit for us. The location was wonderful - so close to the beach and away from the busier section of OOB - but still easy to get to. The hosts were some of the most accommodating we've ever had through Vrbo. They truly want their guests to enjoy and embrace the area - and we took many of their recommendations! Also, easily one of the more well-appointed Vrbos we've stayed in. Quaint, cozy, clean...a great place to unwind and enjoy Maine! Highly recommend.

Beautiful summer beach week!

Great Stay!

My Wife and I had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. It is short walk (2-3 minutes) to the beach and a 20 minute walk to Old Orchard Beach. The roof deck was fantastic for morning coffee, reading and romantic dinners with view of the water. The cottage is recommended for families with small children. It would not be suitable for 2 couples as one of the bedrooms is within the other with an open half bath.

Quaint cottage located close to the beach and downtown.

Spent a week at this beautiful, little cottage. Our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter joined us for the first two nights. There was enough room for everyone. The rooftop deck was a big plus. The weather was nice and we enjoyed the beach, walking downtown to eat and shop. We played mini golf and walked the eastern trail. We also had time to relax and enjoy the views.

A fun escape

Charming beach getaway, tastefully decorated, and fully equipped and stocked for all our needs. Quick and easy access to the beach, stores, and restaurants. Old Orchard Beach has an Amtrak station and our son in Boston joined us. Fix a cup of coffee and enjoy the roof deck or the cute yard. The hosts are very good communicators, no surprises. Thanks for sharing your home for a restful weekend!

Charming, cozy and very clean!!!

My best friend and I arrived in Old Orchard Beach from a very busy job in California, in need of "rest and relaxation". Old Orchard Beach is perfect. First of all it has one of the few sandy beaches in Maine. The town is a mile from the house and the house is footsteps away from the beach. The house has everything you need and was so clean and inviting. The owners are so kind and responsive. Steve actually called us to see if we wanted the window air conditioning put in. Our only very minor disappointment was that the fireplace is a nonworking fire place.....we didn't even notice. This is a perfect Maine coast getaway....close to Portland if you need a little city "fix"

A small piece of Paradise!!

First I would like to say that the pictures shown are true to reality. This small chalet was very quaint, extremely well kept, and clean. The bar has been set very high for my next VRBO Rental..the organization, attention to details (extra AA Batteries for the TV remote), overall appeal is just adorable. Valancy and Steve the owners take pride in this little place, not a scratch on any walls...you would think that it is painted between guests, LOL... It is approximately 50 feet to the beach with a another house between this chalet and the morning sunrise. There is a Captains ladder in the bedroom which gives access to the rooftop deck which was enjoyed on several occasions. Overall we loved our stay. It was close enough to the centre of OOB to walk, yet far enough to have tranquility and peace. Cant wait to return to this gorgeous Beach and to lovely dinners in Portland.

Wonderful house near the beach

My family of four stayed here for several days in late August 2018. It's a terrific property and we'll definitely return when we can fit in another trip to Maine. The term "charming" really fits the bill as the house features all sorts of adorable touches inside and out. The house is quiet, cozy, comfortable, and exceptionally clean with new appliances. Our 6'3" teen found the sofa bed a pleasant surprise, our tween daughter loved the snug second bedroom, and my wife and I were plenty comfortable in the master. The deck on top of the house is a great place to hang out with a partial view of the beach. Speaking of the beach, it's an easy 100ish foot walk from the house. The area is far enough away from central OOB to avoid the noise but close enough to bike or drive or long walk (along the beach if you like) for restaurants and such. Plus Portland is perhaps a 20-minute drive northeast and Kennebunkport about a 25-minute drive southwest, so the house is well situated for day trips around the area. .

Steps from the beach

Our family of 5 stayed in this cute cottage at the end of August. We very much enjoyed the close proximity to the beach; we made several trips back and forth between the beach and cottage during the day. The cottage itself is well maintained and has just about every amenity covered, including things like cooking oil and spices. The owner was extremely friendly and communicative. She responded quickly to any questions I had and was very helpful. One aspect of the cottage to be aware of is that the master bedroom is open concept. There is no door. The stairs from the 1st level open to the master and the toilet/sink are in the same room, separated by a curtain. You must also pass through the master to get to the 2nd bedroom. This limits privacy, if that's important to you. Overall, it is a great option for OOB and I would recommend to friends.

Beau et bon temps!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Ce coquet chalet avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour passer un beau séjour entre amis. Le seul détail qu’il faut savoir c’est qu’il faut passer par la chambre principale pour aller dans la 2e chambre. Ce qui peut enlever un peu d’intimité selon avec qui vous partagez le chalet. À seulement quelques pas de la plage, nous pouvions aller et venir à notre guise sans se soucier d’avoir oublier quelque chose. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié prendre l’apéro sur le patio situé sur le toit . Ce petit plus a su agrémenter nos fins de journées. Très propre et bien équipé, nous allons assurément y retourner. La communication avec Steve et Valancy a été très facile et agréable. Merci!

Great little beach house

We had a great week. The house worked well for my family of four with two small children (4 & 8) sharing the second bedroom. It was very easy to get back and forth from the beach. The rooftop was a nice place to sit in the evening after my kids went to bed. It was well appointed with everything you would need. The only downside is it gets bright and sunny early in the morning, so not ideal if you’re looking to sleep in. We were able to darken the kids room by covering the windows though, so that helped with the early morning awakenings. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Perfect Spot

The cottage was a great spot for our visit to the beach. I would not suggest it being a perfect place for two couples. As referenced the second bedroom is smaller and is a pass-through from the first bedroom with an open restroom area.. With that said the cottage is adorable, the neighbors are super friendly, It is centrally located and highly recommended

About the host

Hosted by Valancy and Steve Harlow

Host profile image
Steve is a Chartered Financial Consultant and Valancy is a dental hygienist and a certified group exercise /aqua fitness instructor.

Steve is a native Mainer and Valancy grew up in New Brunswick, Canada.

We have one son, who is local Civil Engineer. We have our very first grandbaby and we are smitten! Our son played hockey since age 4 and we still enjoy watching him play as an adult.

We love skiing and we love the beach.

Why they chose this property

Steve's connection to Old Orchard Beach began before he was even born. His parents met and fell in love at the end of the old world famous Old Orchard Beach pier dancing the night away to the sounds of Benny Goodman.

Growing up, Steve and his large extended French Canadian family from Lewiston, Maine did day trips to Old Orchard nearly ever summer weekend.

When the opportunity to purchase a beach house here came up it was an easy decision. He has owned the property at Beachwalk Four since 1985 and, with Valancy's help, continues to improve it every year.

What makes this property unique

Our beach house is located on a section of the 7 mile beach called 'Grand Beach'. It is thought by all of the real estate gurus to be the most desirable location because of the fine sand, the gentle slope with no steep drop off and the wide expanse of beach available at low and high tide.

The roof top deck addition is our favorite place to enjoy morning coffee and happy hour. It's always 5 o'clock somewhere!
