About this property

Gull Cottage – Charming, Vintage New Englander in the Heart of Old Orchard Beach

New to the market! Introductory pricing summer 2026.
Step back in time and experience the charm of coastal Maine at Gull Cottage, a meticulously maintained early-1900s New Englander nestled in the heart of Old Orchard Beach. Rich in history and character, this absolutely charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home seamlessly blends original architectural details with thoughtful modern updates, creating the perfect setting for a memorable beach vacation.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the home's classic New England appeal. Inside, original stained-glass windows, pressed tin ceilings, ornate woodwork, and beautifully restored southern pine floors showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Modern comforts have been carefully incorporated throughout, ensuring a comfortable stay without sacrificing the home's historic and unique character.

The bright and welcoming kitchen features refinished cabinetry, granite countertops, and a stylish tile backsplash, making it easy to prepare everything from morning coffee to family dinners after a day at the beach.

The spacious second floor features three comfortable bedrooms, including two bedrooms with queen-size beds and a third bedroom with two twin beds, providing plenty of sleeping space. All bedrooms are equipped with blackout shades, creating a restful environment for sleeping in and relaxing after a day of activities. Guests will also appreciate the convenience of two updated, oversized full bathrooms. One located on each floor, equipped with new plumbing to ensure excellent water pressure and hot water delivery.

One of Gull Cottage's most treasured features is its inviting outdoor living space. Relax on the 2 front porches, the most private features a two-person glider, and watch the world go by, enjoy your favorite book in the cozy sun porch, or gather with family and friends in the expansive backyard featuring a picnic pavilion. Situated on a generous .3-acre lot with approximately 100 feet by 50 feet of outdoor space, there's plenty of room for lawn games, cookouts, and making lasting summer memories.

Best of all, Gull Cottage's location can't be beat. Leave the car behind and enjoy a short 10-minute walk to Old Orchard Beach's famous seven miles of sandy shoreline, the iconic Pier, Palace Playland amusement park, local restaurants, boutiques, ice cream shops, and family-friendly attractions. Whether you're spending the day on the beach, exploring town, or simply unwinding on the porch with an ocean breeze, everything you need is just moments away, including grocery, pharmacy, gas station and seafood purveyor.

Gull Cottage offers the rare opportunity to experience the nostalgia and charm of a classic “Vintage” Old Orchard Beach cottage while enjoying all the conveniences of modern living, including a robust central A/C system with separate zones for each floor.

It's the perfect retreat for families and friends looking to create unforgettable memories on the Maine coast.
