We would definitely stay here again. We liked the off street guaranteed parking, the private walkway to the beach, and inside, on the second floor, the view of the sun rising over the ocean and the early birds walking on the beach. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was adequate for us--and we cooked inside a lot!
Cottage was great place to stay. Convenient location to restaurants etc in OOB. Good base for outings both north and south. Communication with host (Lena) was excellent. Access to beach was very short walk. Would definitely stay here again.
First of all, you won't find a nicer, more attentive host than Lena anywhere. Her 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage, aptly named "Serenity", is welcoming, super-clean, with lovely oceanfront views and a private, short path to the beach. My family loved the balcony and patio- and the quiet location. We'll definitely be back next summer!
This property is absolutely amazing! It is a 10-15 minute walk to the pier, and you can see the water from the deck and one bedroom. The space was clean and had everything you need. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a beach stay.
Great property with easy access to the beach and close enough to enjoy the festivities at the pier. Very friendly property owners and accommodating. Will stay again in the future.
The location is great and the host was amazing. Very attentive to details but never intrusive. The rental unit was very clean and had everything you would have at home. A short walk to the pier and then you can retreat back to a quieter, more relaxed area. Would definitely rent this again.

Great vacation home!
From the welcome by the owner, to the wonderful surprise gift waiting inside, I was very happy with this rental. It was spacious, clean, and the location is terrific. There were so many personal touches that made the vacation very pleasant and enjoyable. Everything you needed was already there! I would not hesitate to rent this cottage again. Thanks again to the owner for a wonderful vacation!!

A perfect location to enjoy Old Orchard Beach
If you are looking for a great mix of a quiet beach within walking distance to the Pier and action this is the place to stay. We had plenty of room for our group of 10 and Lena went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The beach is just a few hundred feet away and was by far one of the best locations in the area. The kids also really enjoyed the quick walk to all the amusements and fun OOB has to offer. We really enjoyed this house and highly recommended it to anyone looking to enjoy Old Orchard Beach.

PERFECT VACATION PLACE!!
The absolute best Old Orchard Beach place to stay by far! The house was perfect for us. It was very clean and comfy, well equipped, spacious and had the most comfortable beds. Beach location is undeniably ideal and wonderful, only a short walking distance (less than a minute to get to the beach), not to crowded and very family oriented. We also couldn't have asked for a better hostess, so welcoming, attentive and accommodating. There's no doubt we will be back!!

From the moment we booked online, the owner was attentive and hospitable. Extra safety precautions were taken on their part due to the COVID-19 and we were so pleased with the attention to detail, cleanliness, and amenities provided for our stay. To sit on the deck and watch the sunrise, or to just sit and listen to the waves was so relaxing. The beach was impeccable. Clean, soft sand with no erosion, proximity to the pier and town shops, and the spacious home were some of the highlights of our vacation. The owner has and offers her expertise in the area recommending shopping, restaurants, local attractions, and activities for any age or interest! We were made to feel like special guests in their home. Every consideration was made to ensure we were more than comfortable for our entire stay. More than once the owner told us "Do not worry about anything, this is your vacation and you should be enjoying your time" This is exactly what our party of 8 needed! This property is a MUST - RENT! We are so excited to return again next year!

Excellent family location/property with a great host!!!
This was a fantastic vacation! We had two families with a total of six children, aged 21 - 13, for a total of ten people in the house. We fit comfortably and the owner, Lena, was an amazing host! She made sure our stay was comfortable, gave great recommendations and was available to provide anything else we might need!
The location of the property is perfect. It is an easy half mile walk into town to experience the tourist element of OOB but far enough away not to be bothered with the noise. We watched the town fireworks from the beach, which is 40 yards from the front door down the owner's private drive.
The ocean view and sounds from the house are wonderful. The house is cozy and comfortable, and has all the things you need (you do have to bring your own linens). We cooked several days at the house using the utensils, pots/pans, etc for all 10 of us without issue.
We had two minor inconveniences during our stay - a city power outage for a couple hours and a leaky toilet- both of which Lena remained extremely attentive, providing us updates and having the toilet taken care of promptly. We were so impressed with her hospitality.
None of us had ever been to Maine before, and we were so impressed and completely enjoyed our stay in this house! Highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage in the perfect spot with the best owners
We rented from the same owners last year (in the adjacent property) and loved the location and their hospitality so much, we came back, but switched to this cottage because we brought along more people! The location couldn't be better: steps to the beach, on a part of the beach that is never crowded, far from the noise downtown, but a short, easy walk to get there. In the morning, you can just walk out your door down to the beach (with the provided chairs and such), setup in the same spot (because no one else will be there), and pop back to the house whenever you need (bathroom, restock the cooler, etc.). The cottage itself is as clean as the best hotels we've stayed at, offers an amazing view off the deck, is spacious and well appointed, and the decor is warm and inviting and follows the owners' obvious love of the seaside. It's also well-stocked: we cooked many meals indoors and out (on the grill), and didn't find ourselves missing a single utensil or bowl or pan. And the owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, happy to help, right next door if you have any concerns or questions. Even if you could find somewhere else as nice and well located for the price (highly doubtful), you'd come back here just to stay with these owners! They also sincerely solicit feedback on improvements, and we saw everything we mentioned last year addressed (and this year we couldn't even find anything to suggest). We'll be back next summer.
Beautiful beach views and direct access- we loved the beauty of the beach in winter and walking on the beach anytime we wanted, just outside our door. Lena was a gracious host and very communicative. What a wonderful place for our family gathering’.
Perfect place for my blended family. Rooms and beds for us all. Little private walkway to the beach gave us direct access and we had the beach to ourselves. The cottage provided everything we needed to make our own meals. The host was attentive and accommodating. DVD players and DVD movies provided gave us parents a bit of nostalgia we will definitely be back
Great experience again staying at this cottage. Everything we needed right at our fingertips! Owner is right next door and easily accessible if needed.

Amazing location with terrific owners!
Upon arrival we were greeted with a basket of delicious goodies and a gift for the children. The home was immaculate and spacious as advertised. We have visited OOB for many years and always struggle with finding a place that is accomodating to our rather large family. We had an amazing week with our families renting both Properties and have found a place we can return to year after year. Thanks so much!! See you in 2108!! 😊

Great property with outstanding view and beach
Our first vacation of summer 2015-
Just couple of words to describe it
Excellentic
Fantabulous
Loved everything from the house, the view of altantic & beautiful soft and white sand on the beach! House was very clean, pictures on VRBO does not make any justice to the actual place. Our young kids had tremendous fun on the beach, they could just walk to beach on their own never to be worried about cars crossing.
Warmth and coziness of the house and owner made this homely experience.
Thank you very much for this experience – never to be forgotten
We will be BACK!!
I would strongly recommend to stay in this house

Magic vacation spot, loved it
We could not have picked a more amazing place to spend our family vacation!
Everything was absolutely perfect-the weather was fantastic, the ocean was refreshing, like I have never seen it here in Maine before . I think global warming is making the ocean warmer..The location and the house deserve a 5 star rating.
I enjoyed walking the beach and loved the peacefulness of this location . This spot was still close enough to walk to all the restaurants and rides for the grandkids. My whole family adored this beach cottage and can't say enough great things about the beautiful beach and the location. It was a highlight to watch the sunsets from the front balcony and the kids watched the Thursday night fireworks from the beach I highly recommend this beach home. It has it all.

Truly a 5 star stay!!
Truly a 5 star stay!!
This was our second time spending our family beach vacation at this home and it was again amazing!
The home was clean and welcoming when we arrived.
It is so nice to find a home that we could all enjoy meals together at the same table (there were 9 of us) and a living area that we could all relax in.
The kitchen was equipped with everything needed.
The balcony with ocean view is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.
The beach was great! Soft sand and level beach with plenty of area to sit, even on a busy day. The beach is great for a run in the morning!!
The house is a great distance from the pier, we walked there every night...nice to walk back on the beach, too.
The owner was so very kind and gracious during our stay:))

True Serenity in Old Orchard Beach
What a wonderful, relaxing week my family had at Serenity Cottage. The cottage was in a great location, close enough to walk to the pier and yet far enough away to avoid the noise when we wanted quiet. The cottage was very clean and spacious and was completely furnished with everything we could want during the week. The owner lives nearby and was available all week if needed, but quite frankly, we had everything we needed and more. The beautiful white sandy beach was located right outside the door and we did not find the beach to be overcrowded the entire week. My family ranged in age from 4 to 73 and we all enjoyed the many activities nearby such as Palace Playland, Cabelas, Ogunquit Playhouse, a lobster cruise, just to mention a few. We are already booked for a week in 2019 and look forward to having another great family vacation at Serenity Cottage.
