This was my first experience renting a home, and I didn't know what to expect. I have to say it was amazing! In times of COVID-19, I brought my own items to disinfect the house, but the house was immaculate. Additionally, the house has everything available that one would have or need in their own home, including paper products, laundry detergent, and the like! The open layout on the first floor was perfect for family engagement. The kitchen was ideal for cooking meals, with a center island for preparation. The second floor had a full bathroom with 3 bedrooms, plenty of closet space, and an awesome washer & dryer. Each bedroom had access to the outside deck, where you could sit on a lounge chair or one of the two rocking chairs. Those are ideal for morning coffee, an afternoon snack, and some quiet time to observe the nighttime sky. The master bedroom has sliding doors to the deck. Now, this room does not have a door, but it has a sliding divider that offers privacy. There is an unbelievable circular staircase that leads to the loft or the 3rd level. There you will find an enormous bedroom. I can not say enough about this house!!! I now consider it my home away from home and will DEFINITELY be returning.
As I mentioned, I have never rented a house before, so I did not know what to expect with the living space, which exceeded my expectations. Still, the other unknown aspect was the owner/property manager. Enchi and his wife are such warm, friendly, and caring people. They made sure everything was perfect and were so attentive to ensure our stay was memorable. Not only did I leave Old Orchard Beach with amazing memories, but I also made new friends.
Finally, the house is a short walk into the town, pier, shopping, food, arcade, and beach. I would talk a walk every morning for fresh cinnamon buns and bring back breakfast for the family. It was beyond convenient to be so close! It was no big deal to go back and forth throughout the day and night. Walgreens and other market-type places are steps away.
I loved my stay in OOB, and I have Enchi to thank for that!!
