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!

Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ##### Heather M.

We really enjoyed our stay and if we go back to OOB next year, we surely rent this cottage. ##### Claudette Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather M. Aug 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Quiet Corner of Old Orchard Beach This is a clean, well-maintained rental in a residential neighborhood, with a dedicated parking spot and fenced backyard area. There were ring-style cameras at the front and back entrances and secure locks on the doors The rental is located in a residential area, less than a 10 minute walk downhill to the beach. There is easy and reasonably-priced parking in the downtown area if you choose to drive, and there is also a trolley with a nearby stop. When we invariably locked ourselves out Chris was quick to respond via the Vrbo app. He touched base with us soon after booking, and several times before, during, and after our stay. All of the interactions were very friendly. Chris went out of his way to share some information about places for our family to ride bicycles (bring yours if you can, we definitely enjoyed having them!) and where to safely store them. The unit was well-cooled with air conditioning units both upstairs and down. As other reviewers have mentioned, the stairs to the bedroom are steep and slippery - be sure to not take the stairs in socks! If you’re traveling in a group, be aware there is no door to the bedroom area upstairs. This was a pet-friendly rental but it is preferred that pets stay off furniture/beds - be sure to bring your crate for when you head out and a sheet or blanket to keep things fur-free! Our family of two adults, a first-grader, and a small dog enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent from Chris and Sue again. ##### Heather M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024
