About this property

Two remaining '24 summer weeks: Jun 22-29 and Aug 17-24 for 375 dollars/night

Two remaining peak summer weeks: Jun 22-29 and Aug 17-24 are $200 off. Regular price of $2825/wk is discounted to $2625/wk. Window AC units now added to the house for additional comfort. We had a safe, successful summer seasons in 2020-23 as we worked hard to keep our guests safe and comfortable.

Please note: we do not rent this property via FaceBook Messenger. If you receive this listing via FaceBook or FaceBook messenger, you are not talking with the owners.

For over 18 years, we have been consistently rented all summer long and into September. One of the most consistent comments is how close we are to the beach and how extremely clean the house is upon arrival. Comfortable, relaxing 4 bedroom cottage on quiet street in one of Maine's most family-friendly ocean-side resorts. Short three-minute walk to the beach close to the town and world famous Pier (ten-minutes walk) with great access to golf, boating and the historic attractions of Portland, just 15 minutes away. The house has been recently painted, renovated upstairs bathroom, new porch windows, new carpeting and with many updates, including a dishwasher and is suitable for families up to 8 people. Outdoor private patio, perfect oasis! Also has two full bathrooms, laundry, dining room, living room, wonderful front porch, off-street parking, WiFi, and a back yard patio all make this the perfect vacation getaway by the sea. Only 90 minutes from Boston, there are five daily trains between Old Orchard and Boston. See previous renter comments below:

Comments from previous renters: "Location and neighborhood are excellent. Comfortable furnishings. Backyard great for dining al fresco. Large front porch extra bonus space. Owners were easy to communicate with and very organized. " Mary C.

'Just wanted to let you and your brother know that we had a wonderful trip and enjoyed our stay at your house. I guess we picked the right week to be at the beach because it was hot! The ocean water was very refreshing. We spent just about every day at the beach and loved the fact that the house was walking distance to the beach, pier and miniature golf. We also enjoyed watching a Raging Tides baseball game (the stadium is just up the street from the house). We did venture out to Acadia National Park for a day. We got the kids up at 6:00 am and returned around 11:00 pm. We were only able to see the highlights because of time constraints, but did stop and eat at the Jordan House.
All in all, a great vacation. Thank you for sharing your house. We rarely vacation in the same spot twice, but definitely would consider a return trip.' Laura, S. 2013

'First of all, we want to Thank You for providing such a nice home to spend our vacation. Your home far exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to rent again if it were available. We have already told some of our friends about
the home and some do visit there, so you may get some correspondence. The house was very clean and well kept up and spacious enough for the whole family. It was located close enough to the beach and everything else going on. The neighbors were great and a nice neighborhood.' Gary B., 2013

'This is our second visit to your home in OOB. We absolutely love this home and the owners. The owners truly care about their renters and are responsive to any issues. We love the location and the cleanliness.We have never had a problem that could not be easily resolved, so there is NOTHING that we don't like. We look forward to enjoying this house each year.'

'Our stay was excellent -- loved the location, close enough to the beach but away from the beach traffic
loved the porch, spent many afternoons reading & sipping wine........ Your kitchen was great, everything we needed;
having a washer & dryer was also a big plus. My family, friends and I wanted a vacation on the beach to just chill.
Your house was so comfortable, even the teenagers commented on how nice it was (kids never notice anything!). We were close enough to the attractions to walk and far enough away to enjoy the peace & quiet. I will keep your email address for future vacations and will definitely recommend to anyone I know. Gail H., 2010

Our family enjoyed your place and our stay there. Most of all, we are thankful for the memories that our family now has because of our stay there. The house was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The set up and space was nice. Having the house stocked with almost EVERYTHING was great! Joyce D. and family, 2010

We had a wonderful time at your house. The location is great, a nice easy walk and we were loving the quietness of the street! Your house is really nice and it fit us perfectly. Michelle V., 2009

The location and hosts were great. However the place is in need of updates and a good cleaning especially the showers and front porch. The house is advertised to sleep 9 we had 5 and it was challenging. The bedrooms are small with little room to maneuver around.

Quality Family Time
The beach was a short distance away and while we planned to spend most of our time at the beach, the weather didn't cooperate! We spent time with each other in the house and on the screened in porch enjoying the cool, wet rainy days. Nearby family would pop in for visits. We did a day trip to Boston and when the sun made an appearance we enjoyed the pier, the beach, and a day at Fun Town. We created many lasting memories at this cozy cottage.

Annual Family Beach Vacation
David's home was perfect for our family vacation. I stayed with my daughters, son-in-laws, and grandchildren, ages 1 -9. Everyone had a great time. This home is in a quiet, safe neighborhood, but an easy walk to the beautiful beach and Pier area.. The train goes through several times a day but was not disruptive at all, in fact it was a big hit with the little boys! OOB has a fantastic family atmosphere. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable for the week and David is extremely responsive to any questions. I would love to stay here again.

Beautiful Beach Vacation
This was a lovely house for my family of 4 to call home for a week. Cozy and comfortable, with all of the cooking and dining tools you would need available. The hosts were communicative about town construction that was taking place (and was of course beyond their control). An easy short walk to a beautiful beach and a nice walk into the downtown area. The Amtrak line is close by and the train whistle is hard to ignore, day and night.

Fern Avenue was perfect!
This property had everything we as a family could have needed and wanted. The location was perfect for a family. A short walk to the beach (which was beautiful) made it easy to go to without driving. The house is also just far enough away from the car and pedestrian traffic that was on the main roads. We were able to walk to the pier, downtown and attractions with no effort. The house was extremely clean and very well stocked with the comforts of home. We were able to have family dinners around the table and able to cook a meal easily with the grill and fully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were small, but enough room to be comfortable and very functional. The living room provided us a great place to congregate on the one day we had rain and we were able to sign into our Hulu and relax comfortably. The owners had excellent communication with us. I cant say enough about Fern Avenue. We would definitely stay here again for all of the conveniences it provided along with the quiet that we were able to experience. It's a great place for families that want to be close to everything, but just off the beaten path. Tha is for an incredible vacation!

Pleasant last minute Maine vacation
After cancelling our plans to travel south this year we booked David and Steven’s house. They were really communicative and helpful from the start. The house was in a perfect location close to the beach but a little bit away from the pier so that we weren’t constantly dealing with crowds and noise. There was one problem during the week which David took care of super quickly and we were really happy with the response. Some updates to the house would be nice but overall it was clean and comfortable, the owners were fabulous and we had a great vacation.

2020 OOB Vacation
The location of this property was great - no more than five minutes to the beach! We had a wonderful time while in Old Orchard Beach. The house was comfortable and clean. The rooms are all rather small - difficult for a larger group of people to assemble in one room (We had six adults and two young children with us). The front porch was a favorite place to be - lots of windows and a nice breeze. The yard space is also limited. Overall, we had a terrific time!

Quiet street and nice location
Everything about the house was great and exactly as described. The bedrooms are small but we didn’t find that to be a problem at all. Plenty of room for my husband and I and our 4 children. Unfortunately there was a mouse which the owners were very quick to remedy. It’s an old charming home and things like that happen! Otherwise we were very happy with the home.
