Family beach home within a 15 minute walk of Maine's nicest beaches

Come for a relaxing getaway at Birch Perch in Old Orchard Beach, Maine! This charming single family home in a quiet residential neighborhood is a short 15-minute walk to the beach or into town and all the delights of the pier. Our home sleeps 8 and comes fully stocked with all the dishes, pots, pans, and tools you need to grill a steak in the backyard or boil up a lobster feast. Our beach chairs and sturdy cart make your trek down to the water easy and you can end the day with a glass of wine on the side patio. And for those rainy days, there are books, games, and TVs to entertain the whole family. Come make memories at Birch!

Birch Perch is rented with a 7 night minimum stay renting Saturday to Saturday during peak summer weeks (July 4th - Labor Day). Check in is at 4pm and check out is 11am. Occasionally, we'll open up on less night minimums depending on availability...please email if interested. Off Season, we rent with a 3-4 night minimum stay during the Spring and Fall (pre-July 4th and after Labor Day). Note...linens and towels are not provided in this rental due to difficulty guaranteeing delivery and service.

Driving In? - we have off street parking for 4 cars
Flying? Don't have room in your luggage for linens? No worries! Bed linens and towels can be rented from an outside provider for an additional fee.
Taking the train? Birch is a short walk or car share from the train station.
Your vacation stay will be worry-free.

Loved it!
Eric and Jen were super helpful with everything! Very quick and efficient to respond. The only thing is that there was no grill. Super clean, cute, and perfect for a group of 6-8! Highly recommend! And very close to the beach, we walked frequently. Lots of shopping and food options nearby as well.

VERY NICE HOUSE!
Our family and friend absolutely enjoyed our stay! Not used to a stocked house with everything you need! Close to beach and shops but far enough away to go relax after all the chaos and noise! Never had to reach out to the owners. Everything was perfect and comfortable! They do a wonderful job of providing you with everything! Only downer was tvs is not cable and we are not familiar with surfing through roku. But honestly who cares....we played games so not much TV needed! If your looking for a nice place this is it! I could go on and on! THANK YOU SHOUT OUT TO THE OWNERS!

Great place
The owners are great, the place is new and clean. Very nice home feeling. The only downside was that we were not aware until after booking that we had to bring our own linens. This made travelling a lot harder with 8 people but it wasn’t a deal breaker, we still enjoyed it very much.
