Check in was very good, room very spacious unfortunately the bathroom was small and needed updating which otherwise let the good accommodation down.

Nice place in a nice location.
Right on the beach. Decent amenities, real close to everything! Nice little fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Nice pool, and nice path to beach. I think my favorite thing was the broom and dustpan to sweep up the sand from outside, what a nice touch.

Clean spacious rooms. Small bathroom
Cleanest hotel in OOB! Newly renovated rooms. Spacious room with fridge, keurig, bureau, desk and 2 sitting chairs. Bathroom was unfortunately very tiny. You can hear a lot of stomping overhead in rooms above. Ugh! They offer coffee at front desk starting at 8am. Best front desk clerk! A pleasure meeting Shirley. We just love her. We will be choosing On The Beach on our future OOB trips.

A Gem Among Rhinestones
This motel is a gem. Close enough to the action but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are nicely decorated and extremely clean. Little extras like a microwave, good size refrigerator and broom and dustpan for the inevitable beach sand make this stand out. We stay in about a dozen hotels/motels a year so we know a good place when we find one. The fact that we stayed here twice this year says it all. JJ the owner and Shirley at the desk are the piece de resistance that make this place special.

The room was spacious, the beds comfy, and the area was very clean. The location to the beach is great and is walking distance to the Pier and all the shops in downtown Old Orchard Beach. I would stay again.

It’s a great affordable place to stay on the beach. It’s very family friendly. Parking is easy and the beach is just steps away. Lots of great dining options and local attractions. It was a really fun time!

A very nice spot, and it was "on the beach". We could walk from our cabin to the beach in about 30 seconds. Staff was friendly and our room was clean, and nice. Will probably stay again next year

Perfect location, comfortable beds, friendly staff
We had a wonderful stay at « On the Beach » we visited OOB in the past but definitely found in this Motel a perfect institution that will become our destination when visiting OOB. The location is perfect, not too far from the pier and all the activities but still pretty quiet, steps from the beach, the facility is spotless and the staff is very friendly. All the amenities are there; the heated pool, the hose and shower to remove any sand, comfortable beds even a BBQ for when you don’t feel like eating out. Will definitely recommend and return to this perfect location!

Excellent location with walkway to the beach, short distance to pier and other activities (3-4 min walk). Room was clean, and staff were friendly! This is our second year going to On the Beach and will be there next year!

Super cute and clean. The property had been updated and the owner did a great job. Work station in front of the window with an ocean view would be great for those who work away from home. Bed super comfortable and separated from main living space, like a mini suite. Owner super friendly.

We had a wonderful time at this location and will definitely be back. Our room was fantastic - very clean and updated. "On the Beach" literally means on the beach which was exactly what we were looking for. Our son also loved the heated pool! It was a very family friendly choice and we couldn't have been any happier! The walk into town for restaurants/The Pier/rides was quick and easy which was super helpful with a little one. If you're looking for a quiet couples get away, this probably isn't the best choice for you in the summer due to all the families/kiddos and the noise level. We loved the family vibe and all the kids so it was perfect for us! The beach itself was beautiful - soft sand, virtually no rocks or shells, nice waves but not too rough and just steps from the room to the beach!
