This home is lovely and well located near the beach and downtown Saco. The weather in September was so nice we slept with the windows open and could hear the sound of the waves all night. Very relaxing. I would book again.

Amazing Stay

We’ve been coming to the area for decades and this is, by far, the best place we have stayed. The home is in a great location, steps from the beach, and is very clean & spacious with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There was even a high chair and beach toys for our 9mo old grandson! Lauri was very responsive to any questions we had. We look forward to returning!

Beautiful location

Fantastic location with very short walk to the beach. The rental included a beach umbrella, beach chairs, toys and boogie boards, which was a huge perk for us since we flew in and couldn’t pack that sort of thing. The owner was very quick to respond and I would love to stay there again some time.

Good spot for 8 or less including guests

We just spent a week in Old Orchard. The home is listed well and a great location. We were visiting family in Maine so had some folks coming and going. We stayed within the 8 people allowed to stay on property as per the listing and additional lease agreement. However, we were put off by a text by the owners, who live next door, asking how many people had stayed there the night before. I responded with “8” but received no response. The rest of the week it felt like we were being watched.

Great location and host

Truly steps away from the beach! A very convenient home base to combine beach days with ability to explore Saco/Biddeford and even Portland. Beach felt private and was dog-friendly. Home was cozy and clean, and had everything we needed. Worth noting that to get to the two bedrooms downstairs, the stairs are pretty steep and narrow, so not good for the elderly or young kids (not an issue for our group).

Graduation Stay!

We had a wonderful long weekend at the property to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. The property was very well equipped, clean and the owners were very nice and accommodating. The yard was beautiful. Great view of the ocean from the porch, and very short walk to the beach! We hope to come back and stay when it is warmer! Thank you!

I had such a wonderful stay: the location was perfectly situated to the beach; the host were ever accomodating; the home was just that, a beautiful home away from home. It was very clean, had all the neccesities and was difficult to leave. On a scale of 1-10, it was a 12. (Would love to return!)

Fabulous beach property

My family and I stayed for a four day weekend and had a wonderful time. The house is located right across from the beach and has a lovely view of the ocean from the comfy leather chair on the closed in porch. The house fits 8 (we were 7) comfortably and is well appointed with beautiful decor, fully stocked kitchen, and beach items and games. Communication with the owner was very easy and they are close by for emergencies (like locking yourself out the first night!) We had a splendid time and recommend this location. Would love to come back again!

Great stay in on an amazing beach!

We had a great stay in Kinney Shores at Lauri's property. It had everything you could possibly need and more - including items for small children (2 years and 8 months -high chair, pack n play, kids plates/cups, extra blankets, beach toys, a beach wagon, floats) and our dog (water/food bowls). The location was incredible - being less than a minute walk away from the beach, you're basically on it which was so helpful if we forget items, needed to nap the kids at home, or make multiple easy trips with beach gear. The beach is big with plenty of sand during high tide, and amazing shallow sandbars during low tide - perfect for little ones (plus dog friendly). Having Lauri live right next door was helpful for last minute needs, and her and her husband were super kind and respectful of space. The main bedroom and living room has an AC unit, which along with the many fans they provide, helps to circulate air throughout the rest of the upstairs and main floor. The neighborhood was a classic beach neighborhood - quiet and cute with a little downtown near by that had an icecream shop/diner, coffee shop, and shuffleboard court. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Vacation Spot!

Our family absolutely loved this vacation spot. Our house was spotless and very roomy for all 8 of us. It was steps from the beach (which was our favorite aspect) and had a great lawn for the kids to toss the ball. We also loved the roomy deck or porch area for eating. The beach was perfect...pristine and sandy (no rocks to hurt your feet!). Overall, a wonderful, relaxing vacation at this home!

Perfect location

The location of this home is perfect. Quite location away from the craziness of old orchard beach. So convenient and easy to get to Portland. The home is steps from the beach. The beach is endless and the kids had fun with all the tide changes. The house has everything you need for beach: chairs, tubes, and boogie boards. It is an old home with the quirks that come with an old home. Occasionally we did not have hot water in the shower. The owner was great with community and very helpful.

Seamless Stay in Saco

This property was just what we needed for our long weekend in Maine to celebrate a graduation. It was comfortable for our entire family, including grandparents in their 80's. Those who wanted to walk the beach, need only walk a few paces up the street; Portland was only a 20-minute drive away and there was plenty to do in Saco and Biddeford.

The house was pristine and in the perfect location with amazing sunrises!

I rented this house as a place for my sister, brother in law, and myself to stay for my daughter’s wedding. It was very clean, decorated nicely, and had everything we needed. I do feel the check out time of 9:00am was a little early to get the check out expectations completed, for example unloading the dishwasher. It was fine for just us adults, but to get children breakfast and dishes washed and put away, 10:00am would be a more reasonable hour. This house would be perfect for a small group who do not plan on having company, but if you plan on having visitors, keeping to an 8 person limit, including who is staying there, would be difficult. We had another property rented that allowed more visitors so it wasn’t a problem for us, but for our normal vacations, with daily family visitors, it wouldn’t work.
