3-star beachfront motel with direct Old Orchard Beach access
Beachfront Access & Outdoor Spaces
Sandpiper Beachfront Motel sits directly on Old Orchard Beach, giving guests private steps onto the sand. The property has a furnished sun terrace with sea views and multiple BBQ grills in a dedicated picnic area. Outdoor furniture is placed along the beachfront patio for watching the tide.
Accommodations & Room Amenities
Rooms come with kitchenettes that include a two-burner stove, microwave, and full-sized refrigerator. Select units have balconies overlooking the ocean or private patios with seating. Queen rooms, queen rooms with two queen beds, and apartments with balconies are available, all with air conditioning and heating.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The motel is a few steps from the sand and less than 1 km from Old Orchard Beach Pier. Palace Playland amusement park is a 700-metre walk, and Pirate's Cove mini-golf is a 14-minute stroll. Portland International Jetport is 26 km away, and the property is set on a side road that stays quiet despite its proximity to the pier.
Guest Services & Parking
Free on-site private parking is available, though spaces are tight. Daily housekeeping is provided, and the front desk staff recommend local restaurants and activities. Rooms offer key-lock entry on the road side, and the property is non-smoking throughout.
Reviews & Ratings
Guests regularly rate the motel 9 or 10 for its direct beach access, friendly staff, and clean rooms. One family noted the apartment layout offered ample space for a week-long stay, and couples appreciated opening windows to hear waves at night. Solo travelers praised the 13-night stay experience and the ability to keep food in the fridge.
Highlights
Beachfront: Direct access from the property to Old Orchard Beach
Rooms: Kitchenettes with stove, microwave, and fridge
Grounds: Sun terrace, BBQ grills, and ocean-view patio
Location: 5-minute walk to Palace Playland and the Pier

Service: Daily housekeeping and local dining recommendations
“In my opinion, its prime beachfront location, steps from the sand, is a major draw, amplified by patios designed for relaxed ocean views. I noted how guests appreciate the walkable proximity to Old Orchard Beach's main attractions and pier. The staff's helpfulness, even after hours, impressed me-it reflects a genuine commitment to guest well-being.”
