The place was very easy to find, great location. Walking distance along the beach and sidewalk to attractions, great access to the beach. Very clean and well maintained place.

Spacious & Private 1 BR Home | 0.8 Miles to Beach
This place was perfect! It was on a nice quiet street, close to just about everything for a nice walk. The beach was about a 5 minute drive. Could’ve easily walked but decided to drive, They had awesome recommendations for food! Close to the pier. The only thing I wished differently was the weather.

Walk to Beach from Spacious 1920 Home
Incredible experience! We traveled from SC for our youngest son’s wedding. From the time we walked into this place when we found a box of doughnuts & a personalized message about the wedding until we checked out late because we needed some extra time . . . and on top of all this Krystal shared her number & we communicated with her & she was always responsive. Again, I say, Incredible experience! You should definitely consider a stay at this place while in Old Orchard Beach. Thank you, Krystal!

Luxury Year-round Treehouse with private hot tub
The Canopy tree house was a great get away for a couple of days. It’s very private but still a beautiful area. You can walk down to a private dock to enjoy the lake which is very peaceful. Absolutely would recommend to anyone looking to escape to the woods for a couple of days.

Bright, clean, private cottage near Higgins Beach!
We had a fantastic time at this cute and cozy cottage! It’s within 15 minutes of basically anything in the Portland area and the cottage itself is so charming and inviting. We only wish we had planned to stay here longer!

We came here for a private getaway on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The price was a bit much, but for such a special time I felt it was worth it at the time I booked, and worth it it certainly was. beautiful, quiet, serene, it was perfect for a getaway. I would absolutely recommend, and I already have, this stay. 10/10

Relaxing, private, & close to beaches and trails.
This is a unique, lovely home in a beautiful setting! Kelley was an excellent host, providing instructions ahead of time, offering local suggestions, and making sure everything was great-and it was! We especially appreciated the very clean and well-supplied kitchen, and that it was dog-friendly inside and out, with two fences areas. Wonderful stay!

Relaxing A-Frame with Hot Tub and Lake Access
Wow! David was so responsive to our last minute booking request. He gave us all of the information we needed. This place has it all! Great records, cards, everything you need for cooking, a wonderful hot tub, plenty of tp (hey some places don't!) There were two of us and our pup. We tried all of the beds, had naps in each one, because hey, it's vacation! They are so comfortable. The linens were clean and more than enough pillows. We drove down to the beach, which was really nice. Our only downside was because of all of the rain, so many mosquitos! Not David's fault of course, but if you come after a rain, bring spray! This place has it all. David made everything easy for our last minute getaway. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us!

Farmhouse Retreat Upstairs | Walk to Downtown|
Rob's place was great. It was clean and comfortable. Checkin was really easy. The location was also great. It was within walking distance to downtown Kennebunk. We walked into town several times. The beds were comfortable. We were in the upstairs apartment, which was very spacious. We would definately rent from Rob again.

Beautiful West End studio, hot tub, free parking
141 Studio was perfect for a couple for a few days near downtown Portland. The studio is great. Dan has renovated it in great style. The kitchen was great for our purposes. The layout of the studio was great for our purposes. Having the washer and dryer was extremely helpful and made our 10 day total trip work well. I cannot say enough good things about the studio and Dan's preparation of it. The scale only goes to five, but it is a ten. Thank you Dan.

Generic Two Bedroom - Stair access only
Great place to stay for our family of 4. I asked for 3 beds and that request was made possible. I enjoyed the area and it was quiet and peaceful place to rest after walking around the beaches and or state parks. Amenities were very good and communication with the check in team was excellent.

Romantic Bungalow with Hot Tub, Pool & Parking
The guest house is the perfect spot to stay for those who are active explorers on vacation. Its the perfect little cottage for 2 people. It was clean and organized. The hot tub was a plus. Its a short 10 minute drive into Portland. It was exactly what we needed, a place to sleep and shower. The hosts are super friendly and you are sure to meet them at somepoint. Highly recommend booking the guest house for your travels to Maine!

Amazing Bay View Home with Hot Tub
We came to Portland to stay for the week, this Airbnb was perfect! Great location! Loved all the amenities! And the place itself was soo cute! We took full use of the hot tub! And also the grill, it was great and easy to use! The bedrooms and space for our dog was amazing! Our pup loved his stay too! (The neighbors dogs are very annoying and barked everytime we were out- but nothing the host has control over!!) The host was so responsive, when we got there I accidentally mistaken the heater for the AC! She got back to me in seconds on what’s what! Was never bothered, and check in and check out was seamless! Thank you for an amazing stay and hospitality for our first trip to Maine! 10/10 recommend! I would definitely come back!

Your guide to Old Orchard Beach
All About Old Orchard Beach
Located in scenic southern Maine, Old Orchard Beach boasts sought-after sunsets, 18th-century lighthouses, and an old-timey carnival vibe that’s made it a popular vacation spot since the late-1800s. With seven miles of grass-fringed shoreline at your disposal, this is the place to put your sandcastle-building skills to the test, take a dip in the gentle surf, or spend an afternoon getting dizzy at Palace Playground, a thrilling amusement park with traditional New England charm.
Not far from the roller-coaster roars and smell of fried dough you’ll discover pockets of pristine nature that invite a different kind of exploration. The nearby Saco River, with its salt marshes and birder-friendly hiking trails, is ideal for a quiet day of kayaking or canoeing, especially in autumn when the birch and maple trees show off their brilliant fall colors. But by dusk, everyone finds their way back to the Old Orchard Beach Boardwalk or the old wooden pier, which juts 500 feet into the Atlantic, for lobster rolls, live music, and the perfect summer sunset.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Old Orchard Beach
The balmy summer months bring local families and annual visitors from neighboring states to Old Orchard Beach to enjoy the laid-back beach lifestyle and rolling waves. If you prefer having the shoreline to yourself, consider visiting in September through May. This is a great time to enjoy the serene beauty of the area. As in other parts of New England, the autumn months bring colorful foliage, with peak conditions in mid-to-late October. Winter is ideal for snowbirds looking to bundle up with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy the refreshing sea air. While many of the town’s attractions are closed during winter, the cold weather brings magnificent snow-covered terrain. Strap on a pair of snowshoes and enjoy a picturesque winter hike or visit a nearby ski resort for some faster-paced fun.

The history of this traditional wooden pier dates back to 1898, and really very little has changed.

Lighthouse tours
Maine is home to more than 60 lighthouses, spread out along the entire coast. With some dating as far back as 1791, there's no shortage of history to be explored. Portland Headlight and Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse are within a short driving distance of Old Orchard Beach, offering a captivating look back at the state’s storied past.
Casco Bay Islands
Hop on one of the ferries in Portland, Maine, just 20 minutes away from Old Orchard Beach, and take to the waves for the day.
