Stop... Relax... And take in the invigorating salt air at our tastefully remodeled and expanded beach house. Enjoy all the comforts of home in a clean, fully-equipped, two-story, two bedroom, one and a half bath unit. The beach house is a stand alone unit. We are situated only 50 steps from Old Orchard's famous seven mile white sand beach.

Beachwalk Four boasts an open kitchen and a corner coffee/blender station. Pleasing beach-themed decor with a light, airy color scheme enhances the charm of this beach-lovers paradise. The master bedroom suite has a vaulted ceiling with fan and windows galore.

After a fun-filled day, treat yourself to a cool, tropical drink on the spacious rooftop deck. A unique ships ladder leads up to the 200 square foot deck, complete with its own wet bar and refrigerator. The teak patio set makes rooftop entertaining a possibility.

Beachwalk sports an enclosed grassy courtyard and is one of the only properties you will find on the Oceanside with green space. The courtyard has picnic tables, gas grill, a clothesline and the perfect spot for the children to play safely while you are grilling the perfect sirloin.

Enjoy soft ocean breezes while relaxing in the second floor reading nook with large windows that invite the sun and offer breathtaking views of the beautiful blue Atlantic Ocean.

Choose from an amazing variety of activities at this renowned beachside community. The famous Old Orchard Pier that extends nearly 500 feet over the ocean is only three-quarters of a mile from Beachwalk Four.

The Pier area features gift shops, arcades, an amusement park, restaurants and nightclubs. Old Orchard Beach is seasonally serviced by the Amtrak Downeaster from the newly renovated downtown train station.

Stroll the cobblestone streets of Portland's Old Port or experience the passion of Red Sox Nation firsthand at a Portland Sea Dogs baseball game. Tickets can sell out quickly, so order yours early!

The bustling factory outlet town of Freeport, home of the famous LL Bean store is only 35 minutes North.

Only 25 minutes South is the town of Kennebunkport, famous for Walker's Point, still the summertime home of our 41st President, George Bush.

Fall is a perfect, peaceful time of year to recharge at the beach and get some of our best pricing of the entire season.

House is located on the beach side of East Grand Avenue and the entry to our beach house is on Ladd Avenue.

Come and enjoy a little piece of Paradise at Beachwalk Four.

Great spot!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay here immensely! Valancy and Steve communicated with us perfectly prior to our arrival and upon our departure. The house had everything we needed and more and we loved all of the suggestions of things to do and places to eat! It was a wonderful way to celebrate her college graduation and my birthday!!

Wonderful place to stay in OOB!

Our family of four (two adults, kids aged 6 and 12) just spent a fantastic vacation at this perfect little house in Old Orchard Beach. We had never been to New England, and this house could not have been a better fit for us. The location was wonderful - so close to the beach and away from the busier section of OOB - but still easy to get to. The hosts were some of the most accommodating we've ever had through Vrbo. They truly want their guests to enjoy and embrace the area - and we took many of their recommendations! Also, easily one of the more well-appointed Vrbos we've stayed in. Quaint, cozy, clean...a great place to unwind and enjoy Maine! Highly recommend.

Steps from the beach

Our family of 5 stayed in this cute cottage at the end of August. We very much enjoyed the close proximity to the beach; we made several trips back and forth between the beach and cottage during the day. The cottage itself is well maintained and has just about every amenity covered, including things like cooking oil and spices. The owner was extremely friendly and communicative. She responded quickly to any questions I had and was very helpful. One aspect of the cottage to be aware of is that the master bedroom is open concept. There is no door. The stairs from the 1st level open to the master and the toilet/sink are in the same room, separated by a curtain. You must also pass through the master to get to the 2nd bedroom. This limits privacy, if that's important to you. Overall, it is a great option for OOB and I would recommend to friends.

A fun escape

Charming beach getaway, tastefully decorated, and fully equipped and stocked for all our needs. Quick and easy access to the beach, stores, and restaurants. Old Orchard Beach has an Amtrak station and our son in Boston joined us. Fix a cup of coffee and enjoy the roof deck or the cute yard. The hosts are very good communicators, no surprises. Thanks for sharing your home for a restful weekend!

Beau et bon temps!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour. Ce coquet chalet avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour passer un beau séjour entre amis. Le seul détail qu’il faut savoir c’est qu’il faut passer par la chambre principale pour aller dans la 2e chambre. Ce qui peut enlever un peu d’intimité selon avec qui vous partagez le chalet. À seulement quelques pas de la plage, nous pouvions aller et venir à notre guise sans se soucier d’avoir oublier quelque chose. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié prendre l’apéro sur le patio situé sur le toit . Ce petit plus a su agrémenter nos fins de journées. Très propre et bien équipé, nous allons assurément y retourner. La communication avec Steve et Valancy a été très facile et agréable. Merci!

Great little beach house

We had a great week. The house worked well for my family of four with two small children (4 & 8) sharing the second bedroom. It was very easy to get back and forth from the beach. The rooftop was a nice place to sit in the evening after my kids went to bed. It was well appointed with everything you would need. The only downside is it gets bright and sunny early in the morning, so not ideal if you’re looking to sleep in. We were able to darken the kids room by covering the windows though, so that helped with the early morning awakenings. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Great Stay!

My Wife and I had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. It is short walk (2-3 minutes) to the beach and a 20 minute walk to Old Orchard Beach. The roof deck was fantastic for morning coffee, reading and romantic dinners with view of the water. The cottage is recommended for families with small children. It would not be suitable for 2 couples as one of the bedrooms is within the other with an open half bath.

Perfect Spot

The cottage was a great spot for our visit to the beach. I would not suggest it being a perfect place for two couples. As referenced the second bedroom is smaller and is a pass-through from the first bedroom with an open restroom area.. With that said the cottage is adorable, the neighbors are super friendly, It is centrally located and highly recommended

Wonderful Family Location

The Old Orchard Beach rental was fantastic! The rental was in a great location to fun summer time events, and the hosts were more than generous with additional activity information. Or family would definitely stay again when we are in the area. The beach is extraordinarily close and was never overly populated while we were present.

About the host

Hosted by Valancy and Steve Harlow

Steve is a Chartered Financial Consultant and Valancy is a dental hygienist and a certified group exercise /aqua fitness instructor.

Steve is a native Mainer and Valancy grew up in New Brunswick, Canada.

We have one son, who is local Civil Engineer. We have our very first grandbaby and we are smitten! Our son played hockey since age 4 and we still enjoy watching him play as an adult.

We love skiing and we love the beach.

Why they chose this property

Steve's connection to Old Orchard Beach began before he was even born. His parents met and fell in love at the end of the old world famous Old Orchard Beach pier dancing the night away to the sounds of Benny Goodman.

Growing up, Steve and his large extended French Canadian family from Lewiston, Maine did day trips to Old Orchard nearly ever summer weekend.

When the opportunity to purchase a beach house here came up it was an easy decision. He has owned the property at Beachwalk Four since 1985 and, with Valancy's help, continues to improve it every year.

What makes this property unique

Our beach house is located on a section of the 7 mile beach called 'Grand Beach'. It is thought by all of the real estate gurus to be the most desirable location because of the fine sand, the gentle slope with no steep drop off and the wide expanse of beach available at low and high tide.

The roof top deck addition is our favorite place to enjoy morning coffee and happy hour. It's always 5 o'clock somewhere!
