We liked how close we were to the beach and that we could walk everywhere. Shirley was wonderful. What we didn't like was the coffee in the room and we thought someone would come in to make the bed and change the towels while we were out but no one did. That's ok but we just didn't know. All in all we had a pleasant visit, would stay here again and already recommended On The Beach to another couple. Thank you.

Awesome stay. We were greeted by Shirley who was the Sargent of Hospitality, she made you feel welcomed and made sure your room was perfect for you after you checked in. She went above & beyond to accommodate parking of our car, my husband right now has a bad hip. She held our spot so he did not have too much walking to do. Room was clean and had a wonderful view. The beach was clean and beautiful in the area. Wonderful Clean Motel with old school charm. It was in a reasonable distance to Kinneybunkport and Freeport. It was a great value for the money.
