Enjoy quiet seaside living at this newly renovated 1BR, 1 BA cottage just a quarter mile from the heart of Old Orchard Beach. Relax (or sleep) on the enclosed front porch, cycle the Eastern Trail, head into town to discover the historic pier and boardwalk, or use the bridge in the backyard as a shortcut to the beach. Sleeps 4.

ABOUT THE COTTAGE

Step up to an enclosed front porch with a queen-size futon and wicker seating—perfect for sipping morning coffee or evening cocktails.

Inside the quaint coastal cottage, a queen sleeper sofa invites you to kick back in the open living area and watch a 48” wall-mounted flat-screen TV. Charming nautical décor adorns the light-blue paneled walls.

The all-white kitchen with full-size appliances is stocked with all the cookware and dishes you’ll need to dine in. Gather the group to enjoy home-cooked meals around a wood dining table set for 4.

Retreat to a master bedroom with a queen bed, calming blue-and-white decor, and an en suite bath with standing shower. Unpack your bags in the bedroom closet, and make yourself at home.

THE LOCATION

You are in the heart of Old Orchard Beach. Stroll along the shops and cafés that line Old Orchard Street. Bring the kids to the beachfront boardwalk, amusement park, or historic pier extending nearly 500 feet out over the Atlantic Ocean.

Cycling enthusiasts will love the proximity to the Eastern Trail, a 65-mile section of the East Coast Greenway connecting Casco Bay and Kittery.

Looking for a day trip? Drive 25 minutes to meander through the cobblestone streets of Portland’s Old Harbor, and discover the cutting-edge culinary scene that makes Portland “America's Foodiest Small Town.”

Intimate home in a very quiet neighborhood, 11 minute walk to the ocean
Very lovely place. It wasn't cleaned to our desires, but the management company was fabulous in taking care of it. We had a great time, nice walk to the beach for exercise. We would stay again.

Great stay close to Portland!
We had a fabulous time here, it was the perfect place to stay for our mini getaway. It had everything you’d want/need for a weekend trip - kitchen, fridge, living room with cable TV, a queen size bed, bathroom. Everything was clean, however our only complaint was that we left food on the counter and work up to ants, which wasn’t warmer to us prior to our stay. We contacted TurnKey and they couldn’t have been more helpful, not only did they immediately respond but they came to clean/fix the issue by the time we got back. Overall we had a fantastic stay, would absolutely stay here again!!!

Awesome spot, quiet and great location!
We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this cottage. I would have rated it a 5 for cleanliness but discovered quite a bit of dust and dirt under and behind the master bed. As someone with super bad allergies this affected me a bit. We were also hoping for a bit more kitchen ware to cook during the week. Otherwise everything else was excellent . The property is quaint and very quiet. Can also walk down to OOB pier from the house or hop in the car and head to the beach in minutes. Would highly recommend!

Great location - needs to be updated
Very nice little cottage in quiet, private setting, but kitchen, bathroom and furnishings are all in poor condition. The shower and porch futon were gross - my wife wouldn't use either. This property really needs updating. Like other reviews, the wifi name/password info texted to me the day before was wrong. Luckily, someone left the correct info on the kitchen table.

Pleasant Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family loves staying at this cottage. We've stayed here multiple times and always have a wonderful time. The cottage is very cute an has plenty of room for us to stay comfortably. Theirs a nice patio outdoors to have family dinner at. I'm only giving it four starts this time because of the lack of cleanliness. The tote of cleaning supplies where left out in the bedroom for us to put away. Both closets where left unlocked.The pullout couch had food crumbs on it. Luckily they left the closet unlocked and everything out. Otherwise we wouldn't of had a sheets for the couch. With this being said we love staying here but the cleaners need a refresh in how to properly clean.

Beach cottage
The cottage is in a good location, central to Scarborough and Portland. That being said, the cottage itself is dated and could use some updating. There is heat but no air, and I would suggest putting a fan in the bedroom, as it gets stuffy at night. The bed is not very comfortable and neither are the pillows. I feel like it was overpriced for the value. The cottage was clean and in a quiet neighborhood with approximately a 5 min drive to the beach.

Old Orchard Beach
nice unit, good location, laid out well. Some hard to reach surfaces (under couch, floor near furniture, drawers, etc.) were not 100% cleaned. Turnkey was apologetic about this and offered to have someone come and re-clean. However, TurnKey was not flexible when we requested other things like changing our reservation dates.

Cute little cottage close to everything
The cottage is small, cozy and was a perfect place for our weekend getaway. The place was spotless upon our arrival and had a freshly clean smell. There is a beautiful fountain on the property that the owners light up at night. We live in central Maine and had tickets to the Kirk Minihane show at the Saco drive in. We wanted to stay in a place that was close to the show and close to many of the other amenities since we were staying for the weekend. This place did not disappoint. About a 3 min drive to the beach 10 min drive to the drive in and 15 min from the Maine mall. For being so close to everything this place is also very private. Would definitely stay here again.

Ants everywhere and not enough sheets
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Believe the previous reviews that have negative things to say - I thought they'd be resolved prior to my stay but they weren't. For the rate of this place, I expected a lot more. Is it a cute little cottage? Yes. It is close enough to be the beach to make it work? Yes. But...The ants were bad and before we realized their presence, so many of them had infested some of our food we had to throw away several grocery items we'd just purchased. They were in every section of the house and required vigilance to keep at bay; it was gross. Additionally, we planned to use all three beds, and there were only two sets of sheets. We finally got them to bring sheets on night two of our two night stay, but the sheets they brought smelled like mildew. Finally, the bed sags in the middle and the sofa bed is one of the worst I've slept on - in the middle of the night I folded it up and just slept on the couch itself with the mildew-y sheets. Of much lesser importance - you'll find only two wine glasses and one regular glass along with plenty of mugs. We obviously made do with the bad nights of sleep and the ant nonsense, but I wouldn't stay here again or ever recommend it as an enjoyable place. Possibly my worst AirBNB stay ever.

This was a first visit to Maine. The beach was great, the cottage was perfect, and the seafood was fresh - well worth the 6 hour drive from NYC. The pictures capture the place well. The property and outside space was clean and orderly. I recommend this property.

We had a great time at this cottage. There were 3 of us and it was tight but we all managed to fit! My only advice would be to have more towels. We only had 4 for the entire week. Other than that great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying at the cottage for a long weekend. The enclosed front porch was so clutch during our stay. It rained a lot over the weekend so it was a perfect place to hang out. Super Zen. Everything was clean and we fit 4 adults relatively comfortably. The pull out sofa was surprisingly comfortable enough.

On a Moose & Lobster Hunt
We have wanted to go to Maine for sometime now! Love lobster, chowder, oysters and the one thing that was on our BUCKET LIST WAS to see a Moose! Checkmark done! We selected this quite, simple home for location and simplicity. We was very clean, comfortable, and easy to book and stay informed of my responsibilities as a vacationer in their home. I would stay here again and would recommend it!

Cute little cottage
It was a very cute little cottage and was very cleaned. It was on a nice piece of property and a good location. My only complaint was that they only gave us two rolls of TP and told us that they couldn't provide more when we ran out with a day left in the trip. Also as a heads up, the futon is really more for summer use as its in the screened porch and would get too cold in the other seasons. Thanks for a great stay!
