My stay at the cottage was exactly what I needed, it’s an updated beachy vibe and excellent use of every space including some rainy day puzzles and books! The small fenced in yard was perfect for the furry family members, and you cant beat the location, such a close walk to the beach, and just far enough away from the busy OOB hustle! Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful little cottage! Great location. Could be 5 stars but when we checked in the shower had a massive stain in the bathroom. After scrubbing we were able to get rid of it but I’m guessing the cleaner never cleaned the bathroom and other appliances around the house such a the shower vent and AC. For a late check in and early check out time I expect the a cleaner cottage.
Dust and dirt all over the AC
Tons of dust and dirt in the shower fan.
Stain in the bathroom when we checked in.
After an hour of scrubbing the stain was removed.

Very nice property to stay at in Old Orchard Beach! It’s a very quiet neighborhood with a fully enclosed backyard, which was nice for my dog. It’s only a 15 minute walk to the beach, which is very convenient as well. Only thing that I would have liked was to have access to regular cable on the tv, since I couldn’t watch NESN with Roku. But still would give this place 5 stars! We had a lovely time. 😊

Lovely place to visit

This was my first trip to Maine, and we stayed in Old Orchard beach. Our lodging was close to the beach, amusement park, restaurants, arcade and shopping. We even enjoyed a drive-in movie! Food was excellent and the people were friendly. Definitely a place I'd visit again.

Chris and Sue’s place is clean and quiet, a short walk to the beach, and best of all, it’s dog-friendly! We returned in 2025 after a great experience the year before.Dog bed and elevated food dishes were a nice touch. Loved taking our pup to the beach in the evenings, and down the road a few miles to Bayview Beach which allows dogs all day!Bathroom was very clean, with white towels provided for guest use. The tub with flexible shower head made rinsing off paws - and our kid - at the end of a beach day a breeze. (If you bathe your dog, be a kind guest and bring a dog towel and a pet hair catcher for the drain!) An in-unit washer/dryer kept our beach laundry clean and ready for the next day and gave the option to head home with clean clothes at the end of our trip.Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Both fridge and freezer were equipped with thermometers.Living space was comfortable, with air conditioning units downstairs and up. We had a hot week and the place stayed cool. Backyard was quiet, and a safe place to store our bicycles locked together.We traveled with our elementary schooler who isn’t quite ready to sleep downstairs on the sofa bed alone. The bedroom had space for our brought-from-home twin-sized air mattress to go alongside the bed.Chris and Sue were great hosts - we had some questions about the area the first year we stayed in OOB and Chris answered several messages quickly with lots of information and recommendations.
