On the Beach Motel draws strong praise for its true beachfront location, easy walkability to the pier and downtown, very clean updated rooms, and consistently friendly, accommodating staff who assist with early check ins and small requests.
Many guests enjoy the heated pool and a family-friendly atmosphere. Recurring drawbacks include very small bathrooms and showers, tight parking, and occasional noise from upstairs footsteps or passing trains. Expect a simple, well-kept beach motel with excellent access and welcoming service.

Property was good for the price. Rooms were comfortable. Pool was more like a hot tub, water was too warm, not refreshing at all. Overall it was a good place to stay and we’d stay again.

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.

This was our first time at OOB and we will be coming back! The hotel check in was easy and Shirley made our stay exceptional. The location couldn’t be any better. On the beautiful and uncrowded beach, quiet except for the occasional train across the street, and walking distance from all the activities. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean: our room, the heated pool, and the surrounding areas. The only suggestion we have are the beds are not very comfortable. Very clean and were given lots of pillows but the frames and mattresses weren’t great (very flimsy).

Awesome stay. We were greeted by Shirley who was the Sargent of Hospitality, she made you feel welcomed and made sure your room was perfect for you after you checked in. She went above & beyond to accommodate parking of our car, my husband right now has a bad hip. She held our spot so he did not have too much walking to do. Room was clean and had a wonderful view. The beach was clean and beautiful in the area. Wonderful Clean Motel with old school charm. It was in a reasonable distance to Kinneybunkport and Freeport. It was a great value for the money.

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.

Good location, within a 5 min walk to the beach and 5-10 to the amusement park and main center. It’s an older hotel that’s been renovated. Rooms are nice size, yet the tv is small and the two chairs are uncomfortable and could be replaced with a couch. Bathroom was tiny and shower stall was small, but had a nice low flow toilet. Nice refrigerator and microwave.internet was slow-under 20 and no TV channels so you have to login to your own app accounts. . It was adequate for a weekend but I would not stay there for a week.

The room was spacious - first floor and easily accessible for my 87 year old mom. However there was no couch or coffee table in front area so you couldn’t watch TV/read with your feet up. Or socialize. There was another tv in bedroom area but that was right next to air conditioner and when that was running it was really hard to hear TV. We have stayed at other rooms here and much more Comfortable. Bathroom was tight squeeze too

I loved that we were right on the beach and I had asked if we could have a room facing the ocean and they did give us one. The room was clean. There were only two chairs and one desk chair so I do think that at least a love seat would have been nice. The bathroom was tiny but we managed fine. A second shelf to put stuff on would have been good. Three women in one bathroom with only one shelf was not enough for all our stuff! The beds were comfortable. The heated pool was also great. One day the waves at the beach were just too big so having the pool was perfect.

Great hotel and location and very welcoming staff! Right by the beach and a good amount of restaurants nearby to walk to. It’s not far from Portland and other cities if you wanna drive to different locations. The only issue was being on the 1st floor you can hear the room above walking around and at times it was loud and woke us up.

Every person working at the property was kind and efficient. The room, a "king with ocean view, first or second floor" was small but adequate. The bathroom was tiny but adequate. My room was on the second floor, and the view was good. If it had been on the first floor, the view would not have been good. The location is excellent, and beach access could not have been better. I would definitely book this experience again.

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.

The property is nice and very convenient to various restaurants & souvenier shops. Its a few steps to the beach. The carnival and arcades are walking distance. Staff, and special mention to our new friend Shirley, are super nice. The room is clean. The outdoor pool is right in front of the property. There is plenty to entertain your children. There is microwave, refrigerator, Keurig & ice. The only thing I can say is, the shower is tiny so just be mindful of that if you are on the taller & bigger side. Other than that, our overall stay is wonderful.

Very convenient to the beach! Which was especially helpful when traveling with an elder. Bathrooms are very tight, and kitchenette is limited (microwave only). AC worked well. Room very clean (broom and dust pan also available to sweep up sand during stay) Our room was way back in a corner - without a spot to sit in chair and look out at ocean in common areas. Would have been nice to understand if that was definition of no view - I thought that meant just in the room.

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!

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.

Perfect spot to enjoy the ocean and relax. The grill outside was a perfect add on for dinners. Great staffing :)

This was a gem of a find!! And I could not have been happier! The Motel was far enough from the Pier to not hear the crowd and or the rides, yet walkable and safe. Close to restaurants and the beach was out the door and a walk through the parking lot! The coffee offered outside the lobby was actually great coffee and had the opportunity to speak with one of the owners. So courteous, professional and pleasant! Made me feel good to know my money went to someone who takes pride and care in what he is offering for a stay. I will definitely be back to this hotel many times! I make my way east each year and take different routes but always on Route 1 .. This hotel works absolutely great for our trips to the cabin. The room was clean, it was quiet and the beds were comfortable. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

We liked how close we were to the beach and that we could walk everywhere. Shirley was wonderful. What we didn't like was the coffee in the room and we thought someone would come in to make the bed and change the towels while we were out but no one did. That's ok but we just didn't know. All in all we had a pleasant visit, would stay here again and already recommended On The Beach to another couple. Thank you.

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.

Super Clean inside and out, steps from the beach, and staff was fantastic. If I was ever in the area I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Room was nice, and spacious. Bathroom was small but not a problem.
