This small cottage is at the heart of it all. It is located on the main stretch of East Grand avenue with the 7 miles beach in the back of the cottage. A walk of 7 minutes right down the road will bring you to the famous OOB Palace Playland (New Englands ONLY beachfront amusement!). Why doing circles and circles with your car trying to find parking and then paying for parking when you can just walk down so nearby. The cottage also is located near 2 local convenience stores which features your basic groceries needs or your middle of the night craving for ice cream! A newly built deck for your family enjoyment . New stainless steel appliances ( fridge and stove) have been replaced. You have everything your family need for comfortable vacationing. Min days of rentals is 2 days . The 1 day rental is not sufficient time for the cleaning crew to turn over. We pride in getting the cottage ready and in top shape. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note: please read the enclosed contract as a signed contract . Please take care of the cottage as you would do at home. An extremely dirty conditions to the premises may incur extra cleaning fees ($50-100). Thank you for your understanding.

The picture on VRBO leads you to believe you just go down the pathway shown to get to the beach when you are actually in a neighborhood and have to walk down the street to get to the beach. The house was very clean and both beds were very comfortable. The host was very fast to respond to my messages. Needs clean shower liner. We enjoyed our stay.
The cottage was very comfortable, clean, well equipped and near to the beach, close to all amenities. Host was very responsive to our needs. Lovely visit!!
It was the perfect little cottage for my family of 5. The kids loved the back yard and the toys. Perfect location right near the beach and not too far from the pier.
It was around the corner from the beach and within walking distance to pier, etc. The house was very clean and well stocked with dishes, etc. I would stay there again.
The house was just as we expected. It was roomy and cery close to everything. We would definitely stay there again.

Slept great, convenient location
Luckily I brought my own washclothes, just tons and tons of towels. Microwave doesnt work, shower needs fresh caulking, new inner li er, it was slippery and moldy looking. The dryer went , noone was able to find, we googled it, upon cleaning, it was chucked full of lint. Not enough silverware, pots and pans were scaped up, but overall, it was clean, beds and pillows were very comfortable, slept great, knowing now what i would need to bring, i would stay again.
Certainly not complaining as it may seem, just saying a little more attention is needed for those couple things.
Thank you very much
, that was it
La plage est tellement proche de la maison, c’est génial! On n’a pas à trouver un stationnement. On peut revenir dîner à la fraîcheur et retourner à la plage. Il y a plein de choses à distance de marche et des spectacles gratuits dans le parc adjacent au Palace Playland. J’avais lu d’autres avis avant de louer, alors on était prêts avec des masques de sommeil (en raison des stores qui ne sont pas très opaques) et des bouchons, au cas où le bruit nous empêcherait de dormir. Oui il y a un train qui passe à proximité, mais c’est genre vers 23h et 5h du matin. On a tous très bien dormi! La cuisine offre un frigo, un poêle et le nécessaire pour cuisiner. Je recommande chaudement la beach house de Lana!
This cute place was within walking distance to the beach and pier. Parking was easy. We enjoyed a nice sitting area in the back. It was clean and the host was responsive.
Stayed here for a few days with my family and had a great time. Location was excellent - steps to the beach, short walk to the pier, and set back just enough from the road to not be bothered by traffic/noise. It's an older place with plenty of quirks, but worked great for what we wanted in a weekend beach house. Discovering the old Disney vhs tapes was a nice surprise as well! The only thing to note is be prepared for poor cell service on a busy weekend, it can make check in a bit tricky if you can't get any messages! Luckily I found a public wifi hotspot nearby so it all worked out.
If you want a nice place in Old Orchard Beach that is close to everything, you'll be very happy if you go with this one. Like I said, it's close to everything, it''s clean and comfortable, and has plenty of parking. My family and I were very pleased with this place and plan to rent it again.
We enjoyed our stay at the fabulous cottage. Once we arrived, we didnt use our car because everything is near of the location by walk (2 min to the beach, 8 min to the pier). The cottage was clean and pretty. It’s small but do the job for four people. The host Lanah was perfect. Good communication, very polite. We loved our experience. Thanks again for everything.
In the hustle and bustle of the main strip with many hotels/multi unit buildings, this single family residence is set back further off the road minimizing road noise and leaving room for multiple cars to park in front. It was a very short walk to the beach to go for a morning/evening walk/run or spend a good part of the day out in the sun while able to come back to the house for a meal or to use the restroom. Great communication with host. Everything was easy and no issues. Short walk to dining, amusement park, and other attractions as well.
The property was as listed and worked very well for our stay. The owner was extremely responsive! The property was close enough to the ‘action’ that we had a short walk, but far enough away that we didn’t hear ALL the guests at OOB . It is on the main road, so you can expect to hear cars and traffic, but it wasn’t overwhelming. If we plan on coming back, I would seek out this property again.
Location was good. The house was clean.The beds were very uncomfortable. The lights around the neighbors house that stayed on all night were very bothersome. Better blackout curtains would help with that.The kitchen could use a spatula and better pans. We had a two night stay and only stayed one night.
Very good location. Walked everywhere and very close to the beach. The owner was super receptive when there was an understandable appliance problem. I would definitely return.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Very outdated and rundown
It needs some attention and repairs and to have the supplies restocked. There was only one spoon and one bowl.
The beach house is very clean, about 3 houses from the beach and close to many restaurants and shops.
We stayed on a Mon - Wed short visit in late Sept. The weather and beach were perfect.Sunny, warm and no crowds. Although the pier, most shops and many restaurants are closed either for the season or until the Thurs -Sun weekend, there was still much to do and great places to eat. We enjoyed The Shack very much and loved Ken's place.
Unit has pretty much all you need. It has plenty of bath and beach towels, but does not have wash cloths, hand towels or shower mat. Eating utensils are disposable only. Room for 4 at the kitchen table and 4 more at the picnic bench outside the bedroom door. We didn't have any neighbors on our visit, but if we did, it may have felt uncomfortable as the small deck with picnic table is the end of this property.
Good place for 2 - 4 adults. Sleeps more, but with 2 small bedrooms and a small living room/kitchen it could feel crowded if there were more.
We would happily stay here again.

Quiet, comfortable and homey cottage. Far enough from the action to get a good night sleep yet so close to walk!
