I loved my stay and felt at home from the moment I arrived. The house was impeccably clean with lots of little details that made the stay extra comfortable. It was clear the host put a lot of care into making guests feel welcomed.The home was truly pet‑friendly! (My dog Ellie says thank you for the comfy dog bed!) It is close to the beach and in a quiet area and most important for me— made me feel completely safe and at ease throughout our stay. The host was wonderful: responsive, kind, and easy to communicate with, which also was comforting.Everything was exactly as described, thoughtfully arranged, and designed to make guests feel comfortable and relaxed. I enjoyed every minute and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the comfy doggie bed!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
We received a very warm welcome—complete with a half-eaten bag of candy thoughtfully displayed on top of the bedroom dresser. Nothing says “welcome” quite like mystery snacks left behind by previous guests.The bed also came with an unexpected complimentary feature: enough pet hair to let us know we weren’t the first ones to enjoy it. Wearing a black shirt to bed turned out to be the perfect way to appreciate the housekeeping details.The coffee maker seemed to have its own unique brewing technique. It generously shared coffee with the countertop, pouring more outside the coffee pot than inside it. If you’re looking for an artistic coffee experience, this machine delivers.Finally, although the property accommodates multiple guests, there weren’t any extra blankets available for a third adult. Apparently, staying warm was intended to be a team-building exercise.On a positive note, these are all issues that are easily fixable. With a more thorough cleaning, a working coffee maker, fresh supplies, and a few extra blankets, this property could provide a much better experience for future guests.

I have a hard time with your application. Everything was perfect. my quote is excellent on each of the above questions. Super neat appartment. Well located on a quiet street. the appartment was newly painted and well furnished. Nothing was missing. a big WOW. The host was communicating with us to make sure everything was ok. We really enjoyed our stay and if we go back to OOB next year, we surely rent this cottage.

The house was great! Overall a 5/5 or . Check in was easy- I love the programmable key pads. The house was clean, airy, comfortable. Communication with the hosts was easy. My only 3 comments:1) From the provided pics and the listing, it was hard to tell the rental was attached to another residence. I was looking specifically for a stand-alone rental so if my dogs barked, they wouldn’t annoy anyone. They were quiet to my knowledge, and there were no issues with the tenant on the other side, I just wish it was more clearly communicated in the listing. 2) the backyard is very small and butts up against a business parking lot. It served its purpose, just know it’s a small yard.3) the stairs leading upstairs are steeper and the steps are narrower than standard contemporary homes. The carpet on them is also very slippery. My barefoot slipped off a step as I was coming down to the landing and I fell about 4-5 steps wrenching my back, hit my knee, and overextended my wrist. I’m ok but for someone less sure-footed, older, etc. it could be dangerous. I think a grippy type runner and a mat at the bottom that won’t slide around would help.
We did use the red comforter to cover the couch, this picture was taken as we were packing up the car! The dogs very much liked their stay as well ☺️🐾

A Quiet Corner of Old Orchard Beach

This is a clean, well-maintained rental in a residential neighborhood, with a dedicated parking spot and fenced backyard area. There were ring-style cameras at the front and back entrances and secure locks on the doors The rental is located in a residential area, less than a 10 minute walk downhill to the beach. There is easy and reasonably-priced parking in the downtown area if you choose to drive, and there is also a trolley with a nearby stop. When we invariably locked ourselves out Chris was quick to respond via the Vrbo app. He touched base with us soon after booking, and several times before, during, and after our stay. All of the interactions were very friendly. Chris went out of his way to share some information about places for our family to ride bicycles (bring yours if you can, we definitely enjoyed having them!) and where to safely store them. The unit was well-cooled with air conditioning units both upstairs and down. As other reviewers have mentioned, the stairs to the bedroom are steep and slippery - be sure to not take the stairs in socks! If you’re traveling in a group, be aware there is no door to the bedroom area upstairs. This was a pet-friendly rental but it is preferred that pets stay off furniture/beds - be sure to bring your crate for when you head out and a sheet or blanket to keep things fur-free! Our family of two adults, a first-grader, and a small dog enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent from Chris and Sue again.

The house is comfortable and has everything you need. It was clean and inviting and has a great location. Fab coffee shop/cafe right around the corner. About 15 min walk to the beach and 20-25min walk to the pier. On our last day, we drove around and found a nature preserve that was just stunning - we hope to visit it next time as it's so close! Chris & Sue were very friendly and communicative before, during, and after our stay here. We are appreciative.
