Beachfront Suites on Old Orchard Beach - Heated Saltwater Pool & Direct Beach Access
Beachfront & Pool
Friendship Oceanfront Suites sits directly on Old Orchard Beach with a private beachfront and ocean views from every room. The outdoor swimming pool is heated and uses salt water, with a shallow end and a pool with a view. Guests have access to pool and beach towels, plus hoses outside the pool area for quick sand clean-ups.
Suite Accommodations
Each suite is divided into two rooms with a closing door, offering a separate living area with a sleeper sofa and a bedroom with a king bed. Rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and balconies or patios with seating. Many suites include a kitchenette with a microwave, refrigerator, and Keurig coffee maker.
On-Site Amenities
Four gas grills are available for guest use in the picnic area with outdoor furniture. The property has a laundry facility, daily housekeeping, and a vending machine. Complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are offered from the office each morning.
Location
Friendship Oceanfront Suites is a 2-minute walk from Old Orchard Beach and an 18-minute walk from Palace Playland amusement park. The location is on the quieter end of the beach, away from the pier crowds but close enough to walk. Portland International Jetport is 20 km from the property.
Family-Friendly Features
The grassy courtyard and heated pool provide a safe play area for children. The hotel supplies a pack-n-play for babies upon request. Multiple generations have returned for over 30 years, with staff noted for their helpfulness and patience with families.
Highlights
Beachfront: Direct private beach access, 2-minute walk to sand
Pool: Heated saltwater pool with view and shallow end
Rooms: Two-room suites with separate living and sleeping areas
Amenities: Gas grills, laundry, complimentary morning beverages
Location: Quiet end of beach, 18-min walk to Palace Playland
Family: Grassy courtyard, pack-n-play available
“I think it's the kind of place where families can settle in, right on the beach, and enjoy that heated pool in the courtyard while keeping an eye on the kids; the suites have separate living areas, a real plus. Sure, it's an older property, but it's clean, well-maintained, and the staff seem genuinely helpful, which, in my opinion, makes it a solid choice for a relaxed getaway.”
