    Sadly ending our vacation today. The owners Thomas & Monica were wonderful! The room & the grounds are the cleanest place in the area I'm sure. Towels are soft. New beds. Everything that you need is here. Steps away from the beach. Fireworks can be seen there on Thursdays. We will return. Thank you.

    This was our second time staying at the Moontide and we'll definitely be back for future visits. We enjoy this place very much -- it's located steps from Old Orchard Beach, the rooms are clean, and the people who operate it are friendly and helpful. It's also walking distance to the Old Orchard Beach boardwalk. If you're staying in the area, this is a good place to be.

    We stayed at the Moontide Motel during our daughter’s move into college at UNE. Our room was extremely clean, decor was updated vintage (loved), customer service was outstanding (very personable) and location was perfect (just off the beach and walking distance to the pier). We will definitely stay there again and highly recommend the Moontide!

    Great value, very clean rooms and lots of convenience for the price. Located next to the beach and only a short walk from the Pier. Very friendly staff, would recommend anytime. A+++

    We love it at Moontide. Owners Monica and Tom always make us feel welcome and are right on top of keeping their customers happy. We return every year and look forward to it.

    The Moontide is fabulous!! I can't say enough about this place. After coming to Old Orchard for years, this was our first time staying here. We stayed three nights. The place is very clean, the owners are friendly and most helpful. Always asking if you need anything. This will definitely be our go to place from now on. Can't wait to come back. Extremely clean and comfortable.

    Moontide was so cute and much more modern than it appeared online! It was super clean, and well equipped with many fluffy towels! Having both the heater and AC unit available was key because of the shifting Maine weather. The bed was super comfy! We stayed in one of the cabins, and it was definitely large enough for 4 people. The bathroom is on the tiny side, but fine! The water pressure was almost too good, it kind of hurt! Super close to the beach (~1minute), and a good walk from the pier (~15 minutes). Our only complaint would be the soundproofing. You hear every person and car walking by. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs! The little seating area outside was so cute and useful for drinks and dinners. The kitchenette is well equipped! Bottle opener, can opener, utensils, washcloths, soap, fridge, freezer, burners, microwave, large glasses!!!

    Moontide was a wonderful place to stay during my Maine vacation. The room + bathroom were very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils to cook. It’s just a couple feet away from the beach. The owners Monica and Thomas are very sweet, welcoming, and friendly! My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay and wished we didn’t have to leave!

    We have been staying at the Moontide for 10 years and have had the opportunity to stay in many of the units over the past decade. Of this large sample size of experiences, I can say, the Moontide is consistently, year after year, the best place we stay when we travel for a number of reasons that I’ll explain in this review. First, what keeps us coming back every year is the people. There have been a couple different owners of this property over the past 10 years and, with each new owner, they’ve done a fantastic job of preserving what has always been special about the Moontide while making updates to improve the property. Monika and Thomas are amazing people first and hotel owners second. They are down-to-earth, always kind and approachable, and work very very hard to make sure all guests have the best stay in OOB. We could not think of better people to stay with each year. Since acquiring the Moontide, they’ve gone above and beyond to maintain what was already there, make updates (better internet, new beds, updated paint and fixtures, among many other things), and ensure everyone that stays with them has everything they need. Another theme that we’ve always noticed over the past 10 years is that a good property with good owners also attracts good customers. The guests at the Moontide are always typically kind, quiet, and mostly keep to themselves. This is not a big “party” hotel and this has always been appreciated. The property itself is immaculate (again, thanks to the tireless upkeep of Monika and Thomas). The sidewalks and parking lot are always spotless. The rooms are the absolute cleanest of anywhere we’ve ever stayed (and we’ve stayed in many many hotels and airbnbs). From floor to ceiling, bedding to surfaces, upon check-in, everything is absolutely spotless and smells clean. I cannot overstate how nice it is to walk into a rental and know that cleanliness is of the highest priority. I also have always thought it’s really nice that there is such a variety of rooms, from smaller hotel rooms (we stay in the smallest room there and wouldn’t stay anywhere else!), traditional hotel rooms (two beds, bath, etc), kitchenettes, cottages, and apartments. They can accommodate anything from solo travelers, to couples, to larger groups and families. The Moontide is also in the perfect location. It’s just close enough to the pier (about a 0.5 mile walk on the beach) but also just far enough away to be peaceful and quiet. We spend each night of our stay on the beach in front of the entrance from Traynor and these evenings are some of our favorite parts of the trip. It is so peaceful. I could go on and on but I will end here by thanking Monika and Thomas for another amazing stay at our favorite place! If you’re looking for a place to stay in OOB, the Moontide should be at the top of your list.

    The place is very clean and close to the beach. Also within walking distance to the pier and other shops. The owners were so kind and accommodating. Would definitely recommend staying at the Moodtide!

    We stayed at Moontide for the first time last summer. The owners were so kind, the location convenient, and it was easy to keep food around for kids. We went back this summer and upgraded to an apartment so the kids could have separate beds. No complaints!! The access to the beach + all we needed = couldn’t be easier.

    We had a wonderful weekend at Moontide Motel, the owner was super friendly and on top of everything! The rooms were perfect for our family and so clean! Seconds from the beach and minutes from the action! Definitely will be my place if we go back next year!

    The owners Tom and Monica were very personable. Very pleasant people. They were always asking if we needed anything. The rooms were extremely clean fresh towels were given daily. We will definitely stay there again next year.

    My daughter and I wanted to get away for a couple of days together. There were so many options of places to stay. I booked at Moontide Motel and we were very pleasantly surprised. The room was very quaint and extremely clean. The beds were comfortable, towels were soft and fluffy. The beach is literally steps away. It’s only a short 10 minute walk to the center but if you prefer there are parking lots closer. The host Monika was very pleasant and personable and asked each time I saw her if there was anything we needed. All in all it was a very nice time we enjoyed it immensely! I would definitely recommend this establishment and will be back again!

    The owners are literally some of the nicest people I have ever met. Super helpful on recommendations in the area and just nice to talk to in general. The beach was right there, and while the water was still cold when we went, it was perfect for walks. The room was cute and had a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. They had a nice back patio with a grill open for the guests. Very reasonably priced and not a far walk from the boardwalk.

    We rented one of the apartments for our vacation. It was very nice and clean. It has a patio with table and chairs where you can relax and enjoy having a meal there. The area was very quiet and only a half block from the ocean. We were able to walk on the beach everyday and walk to downtown Old Orchard Beach which has a lot of restaurants and shops. Monica and Thomas were very nice and inviting and they gave us recommendations on where to eat. I would recommend staying at Moontide anytime.

    We stay in OOB often but have never been this close to the beach! 3 nights in the kitchenette rooms (which had anything you could possibly need!) The rooms were so clean!! The hotel is ran by husband and wife and they are so sweet! This is definitely a place to check out down here!

    My husband and I brought our kids here for a little getaway. The Moontide exceeded our expectations! Perfect location, steps to the beach and a short walk to all the fun downtown. The business is run by a husband and wife that is so attentive to any need you may have..They live right on site and super nice!! The room was exceptionally clean! Personally, Im really picky about cleanliness and i dont have one negative thing to say! They take pride in their property and it shows. We will definitely be back! Thank you for excellent hospitality ❤️ you gained a customer for life!
