This place was wonderful to stay in for a couple nights on our trip through Maine. It’s just steps from the beach and nice and quiet. I was worried about the train that others mentioned in their reviews, but we didn’t even notice it. We enjoyed our stay and will again next time we are in the area.

We had a wonderful week there! The home owner was great, very helpful and even gave us toys for our one year to play with. The house was well stocked, clean and very close to the beach which was also beautiful, just far enough away from the chaos of the center. We will definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable cottage! Just a short walk down a private path to the beach, it was the perfect spot for our girls’ trip. Lena was an amazing host — so thoughtful, accommodating, and attentive to every detail. The cottage was spotless and so close to the water; we could hear the ocean from inside, which made it wonderfully relaxing. We also loved that it was an easy, pleasant walk into town for shopping and dining. It was exactly what we needed to unwind and enjoy each other’s company. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Best vacation we have ever had. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. There is a private path to the beach, we were able to watch the sunrise almost every day. Beach view was beautiful from the deck off the property as well. We opened the windows and fell asleep to the sound of the ocean each night. Host was amazing, so attentive and made sure our stay was great! The cabin had all our needs there for cooking and eating. The host has carefully put together a book of local attractions and eating. It was such a helpful addition. We can’t wait until our next trip and will be booking with Lena again!

Amazing vacation ❤️

We had a great vacation in Old Orchard Beach. This Property is in perfect location, right on the beach with private patio and parking lot. The owner is amazing, constantly checking if there was anything we need and was showering our kids with gifts. The house is well maintained with plenty of sleeping beds. It is a bit smaller than it looks on pictures but we had enough space for 5 adults and 2 kids. Thank you so much for unforgettable family vacation! We will definitely consider OOB Maine for our next beach trip.

Perfect Beach Getaway

Our kids and family loved this cottage right on Old Orchard Beach! The proximity to the beach is unmatched and made it so easy to spend long fun days at the beach just steps away from home. The cottage had ample space four our family of five. We made great use of the fantastic kitchen to eat in for many meals so we could spend more time on the beach. Lena was a great host who made sure we had everything we needed and even had some fun surprises for our two little ones. This property really is an OOB gem!

Perfect Vacation Location!!

With breathtaking views of the ocean, this cottage has everything for an incredible family vacation. The cottage is thoughtfully "ocean themed" designed to make one relax upon entry. With a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom, you'll have everything you need to prepare scrumptious meals while only steps from the ocean. One of our favorite features of the cottage is the large outside deck area to enjoy the sounds of the waves while visiting with family. Even though you are enjoying the ocean life, there were native birds signing in the morning while morarch butterflies passed by. Highly recommend this property!!!

Cute, cozy house steps away from the beach with an amazing view...loved it!!

We had such an amazing time in Old Orchard Beach! This property was super clean and well maintained. The owner did such a good job with this house...we had a group of 8 and we all fit comfortably in it. The view of the ocean is beautiful and being able to sit out on the balcony and enjoy my morning coffee watching the waves crash was awesome! The house was close enough to the pier to enjoy the fun activities, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. The owner was so helpful, kind, and available if needed. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy this amazing beach and looking for a great place to stay.

the best location at OOB

This cottage is in the perfect location, just far enough from the crowd, but not too far of a walk to downtown. The cottage is clean and cozy, it worked well for 8 of us, even with one bathroom we didn't have any issues. The view of the ocean from the balcony and the sitting area on the patio were my favorite places to be along with having dinners on the patio, it was perfect! We had the best location on the beach, very private not having others on top of you, we had plenty of room for our group and we bring a lot with us! A quick 2 minute walk and you were on the beautiful soft sand! The owner was next door, available if needed, she was very helpful and so friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Cottage Steps From The Beach

We totally lucked out with this property. There was a cancellation and Bam!! ; Serendipity found us!! Spent Fourth of July week here and it was amazing. Just steps from the best stretch of beach in OOB. A ten minute walk to the pier and Palace Playland. We grilled most nights and enjoyed dinner on our private patio watching the spectacular sunsets. The owners are right next door and that was very helpful not to mention how friendly they are. There was six of us so the one bathroom was tricky. We managed, so not a real biggie. Not having a washer and dryer was inconvenient but by all means not a deal breaker. We would definitely recommend this rental and we can't wait to come back.

Beautiful private cottage with such ease of access to beach. The sand was much more pleasant to walk on than the sand directly in town which is about a 5-10 minute walk depending on if you’re distracted looking for sand dollars and shells. The owner Lena was so accommodating to my wild children, my anniversary and daughter’s birthday was celebrated during our stay, and Lena brought a small cake & gift to my daughter on her special day. Additionally, she had asked about children’s ages and upon arrival of stay each had a gift waiting for them. I loved falling asleep to the sound of waves right outside our windows on the cooler nights of our stay. Of course that is once we were accustomed to the sound of the train passing by. However, do not let this deter your stay! As someone who lives in a quiet area of upstate NY (we can sleep with our doors unlocked at night and live just 3- 4 minutes off the highway/town with no concerns of intruders to give an idea) as after one night we had become accustomed to the sound of train passing through and enjoy the sounds. We will be returning in 2 years and looking forward to our stay again!

Simply the best!

We've been coming to Maine every summer for about 8 years but there was something special about this summer's visit! You just can't beat being literal steps away from the ocean!! Worth every dollar! Those rentals of my past that said "a short walk to the beach" must not have ever experienced how exhausting it is to haul all the beach supplies, with multiple kids in tow, only to get to the beach to realize that you forgot something or someone has to go to the bathroom! But not at this rental... I could just send my kids (youngest just turned 9) to the house to get what they needed or go to the bathroom by themselves while I laid on the beautiful and spacious beach relaxing and actually enjoying a vacation!!! It was pure bliss. Not to mention the owner is amazingly helpful and sweet! The house is quaint but has everything you'll need for a rejuvenating getaway. We've never stayed in the same place twice, but we hope to come back here again next summer!

#relaxing#bestlocation#besthost

We happened upon this property by chance, but serendipity was truly serendipitous for us. The cottage was clean, honestly the cleanest I ever rented in my 30 years of renting. From almost every room you can here the ocean, which is just 39 steps away, yes we counted. Wherever we stay (my family) we always find our spot the hub of our vacation ( obviously other than the beach), well at Serendipity it’s the patio area outside the cottage 😊. With it’s inviting furniture that provides comfort and convenience it’s a great place to unwind and relax and that would be enough but that’s not the best part from this spot you can see, hear and experience the beach without the sand. I had a few morning and afternoon snoozes there, it was so quiet and relaxing. The hosts of the property are awesome wonderful folks, they thought of everything if you need it, it’s there, if you forgot it, just ask they have extra you couldn’t find better more enjoyable people to rent from. For those who don’t know, on this end of the beach the sand is like powder, the surf is pretty clam and it’s not crowded because there’s no public parking or bathrooms. I highly recommend

Family Paradise Found at Old Orchard Beach !

We treated our family to what turned out to be our best family getaway ever. Firstly, the location of the property is ideal. You arrive to a private parking lot with space enough for you to park 4 cqrs. Steps away a private sand beach path opens up to the most beautiful section of OOB. You are away from the crowds, but can easily walk down the beach to the pier area. No worries about finding parking or having to cross the street to get to the beach. Our grandchildren, ages 3 & 5, thought this was the best place to play and we had no worries about their safety. They were even treated to gifts of beach toys by the owner. She was wonderful. She was so personable, acommadating, easy to contact, and she made sure everything was just right and ready for us. The house was immaculate with very comfortable furnishings, beautiful new flooring, and well supplied kitchen needs. Outside was a large patio table and chairs complete with a barbecue grill. This was a gem of a rental. We have never rented a house before or used Verbo. Must have been beginner's luck. We are looking no further and plan to bring the family back again next summer!
