Photos and Description of the Old Orchard Beach vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 8.

Red Gables retains its hundred-year-old by-the-sea cottage charm, including partial ocean views upstairs, while offering modern conveniences galore: Internet, air-conditioning, central heat, dishwasher, laundry room, cable TV, DVD, games, books, and numerous basic supplies. Two large bedrooms upstairs have a total of 3 doubles and 1 single, with big closets and full bath. A small 1-single bedroom, fully equipped eat-in kitchen, laundry, half-bath, and very comfortable living room make up the downstairs. Red Gables is a clean, cheerful one-family house with two front doors (not a duplex), and guests enjoy the picket-fenced corner yard with gas grill, patio table, and yard chairs. Halfway between the Pier and Ocean Park -- each a 10-minute walk -- Red Gables is on the corner of West Grand and Ocean Avenues and just a 1-minute walk to a gorgeous part of the 7-mile-long ocean beach. This is a great, family-vacation neighborhood, and we also welcome well-behaved furry family members.

The beach, just a 1-minute walk from Red Gables, is 7 miles long and great for ocean swimming, sunbathing, walking, and shell collecting. You won't find a more gorgeous sunrise anywhere! Generations of families have made Old Orchard Beach their vacation destination since the 1800s. Downtown, half a mile and a 5- to 10-minute walk from Red Gables, you can find bookstores, many other shops, and a variety of restaurants, as well as an amusement park, boat rides, and other activities for the enjoyment of the whole family.

Additional information about rental rates

  • Red Gables is rented Saturday to Saturday.
    'Shoulder' or side-season weeks (full weeks in June, post-Labor-Day weeks in September, and weeks in October) are $950 ($975 beginning in September 2010).

    Please Note: If you'd like to book two or more weeks in a row during those side-season months, we are pleased to offer a further discounted rate of $850/week. This means, for example, that you can rent two weeks in a row during May-June or September-October for a total of $1,700.

    Maine state rental tax of 7% is required.
    Returnable security deposit is $200 ($300 with pet). We have been fortunate to have great people rent Red Gables and have never had to keep any part of a security deposit. P.S. Still true after five terrific seasons!
  • Our reservation process is easy: We fill out your reservation-confirmation form online for you and email it to you already completed, including your payment schedule. The reservation deposit is half the rental rate, with the balance due one month prior to your arrival.

Notes: Red Gables is a single family home, not a duplex; it has two front doors, both of which lock with the same key. In addition to the kitchen table, which seats 6, there is a small folding table plus 4 extra folding chairs stored in the laundry room, within easy reach. You will need to bring your own towels and bed linens; everything else, including pillows and blankets, is provided here. We also keep Red Gables stocked with smaller supplies such as extra light bulbs, batteries, and flashlight. The entire house has wall air-conditioning available -- a major plus during a heat wave or just for a change from a pleasant but hot day at the beach. The nice little yard has a picket fence around it. Patio table with umbrella and yard chairs are provided, along with a gas grill. There is ample on-street parking right in front of the house and on the Ocean Avenue side of the house. Walk to the beach in just 1 minute, down Ocean Avenue on the left side of the house to the dune boardwalk.

Fantastic Red Gables Retreat!

KathiCs Derry, NH
Review Submitted: July 1, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Red Gables was everything as promised and more. My family is spending two weeks at this property and are loving every minute of it. The house is charming and well decorated. You walk in and feel at home. The location is fabulous just a brief walk to the beach for sun and fun, then a short walk to the excitement of the pier or to the quaint shops of Ocean Park. The spacious house is perfect for families and the fact that our dog was welcome made it perfect. The place was also spotless. We Highly Reccommend Red Gables!
Thanks Nancy & Phil

Everything we hoped it would be

Review Submitted: January 4, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2008
Red Gables was everything we hoped it would be. The whole family loved how close it is to the beach -- and it makes for a nice walk to the Pier or Ocean Park. The owners are good people, and they keep their off-season rates exactly where they ought to be. It meant a lot for us to be able to bring our dog along! Also, we really admired the decorative scheme -- very welcoming and visually appealing.

What more can we ask for?

Review Submitted: January 4, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
Thank you, Nancy and Phil, for the "new" downstairs bathroom! It's great -- the playpen/yard and high chair are very convenient. You are so thoughtful. What more can we ask for: days at the beach, "lobsta" for dinner, and a dream cottage to stay in. We are so happy here. Thank you, Nancy and Phil, for a great stay. You're the best!

Great Family Beach House

Marnie1 Epsom, NH
Review Submitted: July 17, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed at Red Gables July 4th-11th 2009 and had a fantastic time. The house was so cute, nicely decorated, comfortable and close to the beach. Our teenage daughters were able to walk down to the pier on their own which was really nice. We loved the little fenced in yard. We hope to return to Red Gables again next year!
Thanks Nancy and Phil!!
