Old Orchard Beach Home w/ Patio: Walk to Beach

I had emailed the night before our stay asking a few questions and the evolve company didn’t respond until a few days after we had arrived. The floors were quite dirty, leaving our feet black. The property states there is a keurig machine which we purchased k cups for and there is not. The owner is not very quick to respond to texts, and didn’t alert us to the handle to the stove being broken until I reached out to him an hour before our arrival inquiring about how to get in to the property.

The apartment/studio is exactly as pictured and has everything you need to cook and sleep. The location is fantastic! The basics are clean, but the nooks could use some attention. Biggest problem is that the closets all smell terrible and obviously are where the house and the sewer meet, so that means you smell and hear every time that anyone else in the house flushes or showers. There were a few times the smell was overwhelming, but there is no way to open a window for fresh air.

And my wife and her kids had an amazing time

All in all it was a very nice stay Place was very clean and comfortable. The only thing we had problems with is we couldn't get the door to lock from the outside. Left a message with the owner but never heard back from him. We just didn't want any of his things to get stolen. It was a perfect location too. The train didn't even bother us.

We enjoyed our stay completely even the rainy days. The place was well furnished and kitchen well equipped. We used the grill several times and relaxed on the patio. Would definitely go back. Short walk to the beach.

Clean and professional no hassle great location for the beach.

I knew going in this was going to be a basement, it wasn’t bad for what it is but whoever cleans this place or “tries” to clean it needs to go back to step one. The floor was filthy, upon arrival I let my son crawl, after being on the floor for less than 3min his knees were black, and mouse feces in the corners. The area was nice and decent location, but the cleanliness of this place just isn’t up to par. Would not recommend.

To start, we were moved to a different unit the morning of our scheduled booking. It was essentially an upgrade but the cleanliness of this unit was horrific. The apartment smelled like pee. To the point where we needed to use room spray quite often. To second that, we received bed bugs. There were so many ants crawling around on the carpet and furniture to the point when I woke up my second morning, there were ants crawling around in the bed with me. I really hate to leave a bad review but our experience was nonetheless dirty and rather unsanitary.

Would recommend it!

I didn't know this was a basement unit, however it really was fine. I loved the train going by it was so nostalgic. The location is great able to walk to everything. I enjoyed OOB, the weather was not good, but no one can control that.
