Home in Old Orchard Beach

Surrounded by charming cottages in the idyllic seaside community of Ocean Park, this historic 1880’s guest house sits on the town square, one block from the beach and steps away from the soda fountain, bakery, restaurant, shuffleboard, tennis courts, and library. Accommodations are clean and comfortable yet modest, and so are the prices. Step back in time in this lovely house that has been offering an ideal location along with a unique communal living experience for generations. The space The Curtis is a large guesthouse with 20 bedrooms located on the second and third floors. The bedroom floors also have a sitting room with cable TV in the second floor sitting room. Each of these floors has shared bathroom facilities with lavatories being gender designated. On the main floor there is a large country kitchen, two dining rooms, a large parlor and two large wraparound porches with one of them being screened.

There is a peek of the ocean one block away. This room has a locked door to an adjoining double room. Guest access All common spaces are shared with me and other guests. There is plenty of space for everyone. All guests have designated space in one of three large refrigerators and access to a microwave oven, toasters, toaster oven and free morning coffee or tea, regardless of how many nights they stay.
