About this house rental

Nestled in Orrs Island, this charming house for $675 per night is a great option for your next vacation. If you need an escape for the whole family (or perhaps from the whole family), a couples retreat, or simply the solitude of Maine's beauty; consider The Point. Located on the southernmost tip of Gun Point peninsula in Harpswell, The Point has many amenities that few have the chance to encounter. Guests will enjoy over 275 feet of Maine's beautiful shoreline. With two pebble beaches, rocky ledges and a tide pool your stay is at much more than just a house with a view, it is a place of experiences. The beach sits just 75 feet from the front deck where you will have sweeping southern views. You will see half a dozen small islands, working lobster boats, sailboats, Great Blue Herons, and Ospreys almost every day of your stay. “A spectacular location!" are always the words of first-time visitors to The Point. If you need a change of pace, you have a full sized 20x40 solar-heated saltwater pool and a deep water dock on the property for you. The house is at the end of a two mile private road so a quiet afternoon walk is another way to break from the flurry of everyday life. A fire pit on the front lawn, and only steps from the ocean, is a cozy way to watch the stars. Whatever you choose, you will be lost to your surroundings - Maine’s natural beauty. The main house has five bedrooms and will accommodate eight comfortably. (If your party has more than 8 guests, we have a fee of $40 per guest per night ) No more than 12 people . The first floor has an open floor plan with a combined kitchen, dining and living area opening out onto a large front deck. A brand new bedroom is located on the first floor, with a king size bed, and attached full bath, which are both airconditioned per heat pump. (the only air conditioning in the home) The other 4 bedrooms are located on the second floor. The full kitchen has all the equipment you need to prepare meals or to host your own traditional Maine lobster bake. An oversized, six burner gas grill is also at your disposal for more cooking options. For the rare occasion when you find yourself indoors the house has WiFi, cable TV, a diverse reading library and family/couples board games. The home is clean and comfortable with the owner available (a mile up the road) in case of emergencies. Not overly fancy, but with everything you’ll need for one of the most memorable times of your life. Site amenities include an outdoor gas grill, patio furniture, canoe, and a fire pit. The saltwater pool is solar panel heated. With prior arrangements, boaters have access to the deep water dock and mooring located on the east shore in a sheltered cove. If you choose to bring your own boat it can be launched directly from the beach in front. There is plenty of room to park two vehicles as well as a boat trailer. If you haven't already, take a moment to view the photos. They only hint at the experience you'll have when you book your next getaway at The Point.

Views were incredible. Location was approx 2 miles on a dirt road from the main road. It was nice to walk every day up the road with very little traffic, and what traffic there was, cars drove very slowly. We did not use the pool, but people on the other cottage used it every day.

Even better than the pictures and description. House and pool were clean and well-stocked with the basics. Front porch with ocean views and sounds made the week outstanding!

Perfect location
Perfect location
This was the perfect place for our one vacation since the pandemic began. We along with my parents (and likely everyone else) we’re quite burned out after the past year and a half, and so we’re craving a true getaway while still being convenient to Portland in case I went into labor. This place far exceeded any expectations we had when picturing an ideal getaway spot. The pictures don’t even come close to capturing how amazing the view and surroundings are. We arrived to a rainbow, sun-shower, monarch butterflies everywhere, and 2 bald eagles flying by, perching in a nearby tree. Just amazing. Our 2 year old loved exploring everything about the property - we even used the pool numerous times despite chilly air a few days. Beds are comfy, there’s plenty of space to gather or spread out for some alone time, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Only suggestions for improvement are some wd40 on the bedroom doors so they don’t squeak when you open them, and if there’s a way to fight the fruit flies and deer flies (they were there when we arrived) that would go a long way. We made traps and kept everything put away and that helped a lot during the week. The one major drawback was construction happening every weekday next door, which shattered the pristine magical quiet we so enjoyed the first 2 days. Doubtful this will be an issue often, just a bummer it fell during our week. Naps, quiet time, reading uninterrupted etc. just couldn’t happen during the days. Will always make sure to ask about surrounding property work in the future no matter where we go. All in all it’s an exceptional place, like no other. Truly magical, and we will happily stay again in the future.

This property was gorgeous, very comfortable, and very well appointed with everything one could need! The Point seaside view from the main porch was awesome! We were very entertained by the sea activity! The saltwater heated pool was wonderful, we used it a few times! Our dog Zuzu was so at home, only tied when we were inside and she was out. Otherwise, she was with us, on the front octagonal perch or just loose keeping watch over us! Wonderful place for dogs! Even cousin Jake loved it there. We have rented in Harpswell a number of times, love the area! But this property was by far our best yet! We spent 95%of our week right there! Jack was easy to work with and was very accommodating with whatever we needed. We would highly recommend and would love to come back!

We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at The Point. Wonderful house, spectacular setting, delightful pool, fabulous location and great hosts. This was our second visit and we are ready to book our third! The kids and grownups alike had the best time. Thank you Dostie family for letting us enjoy your lovely property for the week!
