Maine Coast Experience. Full 180 Degree Ocean View. 275ft of frontage.
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
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!

Slice of paradise
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!

I'm just returning from a glorious stay at the Point, hosted by Jack and Nancy. We were a family of 6 adults in search of peace, quiet and tranquility --- and goodness we received all 3 in spades! The view is INCREDIBLE and there's plenty of space on the property to spread out (in the yard, on the deck, at the pool or on the beach). We also brought our rescue pup Gracie Jane and she had a ball! I HIGHLY recommend staying at the Point and I'll absolutely be back as soon as humanly possible! Cheers, Mc

Serene getaway
My husband and I travelled to The Point with our three daughters in early October. We were amazed by the tremendous natural beauty surrounding Jack's family home. The location of the property at the tip of Gun Point Penninsula is unparalleled in terms of beauty and solitude. Our daughters loved the chance to search for crabs, clams, and oysters on the beach and swim (with wetsuits) in the large pool next-door. We loved the opportunity to stargaze and make smores at the fire pit. The house was comfortable, well-equipped and clean. Truly a magical location, highly recommend to all. Thanks to the Dostie family for allowing visitors the chance to experience your beautiful property.

Beautiful location, perfect family vacation
we enjoyed everything about this house. The location was perfect. Quiet, secluded, and fully equipped.
As I was making coffee my first morning at the house, I spotted a Moose out the window! While I understand this isn't common, it made the whole experience just unbelievable. We watched Moose walk out onto the rocks and swim across the water.
We cooked Lobster for dinner one night and the house was perfectly equipped with everything. The grill was perfect for other meals. We sat by the fire pit most nights and enjoyed the moonlight over the water. Highly recommend this house for a family getaway. Wifi was perfect for children doing online school also.

Who said paradise needs to be perfect?
We spent a week in this most amazing property. We have been fortunate to travel the world and visit amazing places... but who knew that this house at the end of a dirt road offered the most spectacular spot we've ever seen. We enjoyed the lovely coast of Maine, its sea, its fauna, its big blue sky. For that alone, there is no way I could rate our stay less than 5 stars.
Why isn't paradise perfect? One main reason we chose this property was the availability of a pool which we presumed was private as there were no indication on the VRBO app to suggest otherwise. This is super important for us as we are strictly adherent to social distancing. On arrival we learned the pool was shared with a nearby cottage. It turns out it was listed on the website and in the lease agreement that Jack shared with us. We notified VRBO of the discrepancy. Ultimately it was not an issue as the pool could not tear us away from the rest of the amazing things to do including just chilling at the beach.
Other notes: perfectly comfortable clean house in need of rejuvenation, great broader area to explore, loved canoeing to nearby Oak island but would have liked to have a kayak. We met Jack and Diane who were great hosts, welcoming us with a nice bottle of wine, cheese, crackers, mustard dip... The house had everything we needed and more (large supply of wood for amazing bonfires at night).
In summary, we spent the most amazing week in this most amazing place. We are certainly coming back.

The house had everything. What a great experience with a helpful owner very close. Private setting. Something for everyone to do. Swim, wade, canoe, relax, great kitchen and bath. Comfortable for our group of 8. Cant say enough about how lovely it was to wake up oceanside and look out at the ocean.

Perfect getaway
Amazing getaway. Our 3 and 5 year olds loved the pool, beach, canoeing, and exploring the rocks (as did we). Super peaceful sitting on the porch or in the yard overlooking over the ocean. Great grill, kitchen had everything we needed and more. Highly recommend.

Wonderful week by the water!
We had the most amazing week at The Point. The kids were busy all day between the tidal pools, climbing on the rocks, canoeing, swimming in the beautiful pool and playing in the yard. The views are absolutely spectacular and hard to describe. The house was wonderful, comfortable and perfect for our two families. We also did wonderful nearby hikes. The owner was helpful and nearby in case of any questions. We didn’t want to leave. We cannot wait to return again! Thank you.

A wonderful vacation!
The house was just as listed but better. Watching the tides change,the clouds roll in, the lobstermen at work was Maine magic at its best. It was one of the best vacations ever. My family thanked so much for finding this place. It was top drawer all the way.

Perfect Maine Vacation
We rented this lovely home over July 4th for a family get together. We had 6 adults and 2 children. We were very lucky as the weather was perfect. The house had everything you needed to enjoy Maine. It has a 180 degree view of breathtaking scenery. We used the pool everyday..it was well maintained and solar heated. We would definitely stay at The Point again. We had a wonderful vacation and hated to leave.

Perfect place for a relaxing vacation
We had a wonderful time at this house at the end of Gun Point. Wonderful for exploring the tide pools and if you’re brave enough (like my kids) swimming in the pool in early June. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Spectacular view!
The pictures of this property don't do it justice. The view is truly breathtaking - from the deck, living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom. and master bedroom deck. The house is clean and very well maintained. The owners left us a lovely gift bag of goodies and roses in a vase! There is a canoe and we spent hours paddling around the area. We especially enjoyed paddling out to the island in front of the home and exploring the rocks. There is also a firepit which we enjoyed one evening - s'mores and all! The pool is gorgeous. It was too early in the season for us to use it since it had not warmed up yet but it is beautiful. This property is really a gem. The decorations throughout the home are beautiful - much nicer than anything I have seen in a VRBO before. It is a home, not a stripped rental. The stained glass is gorgeous! The owner was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend this property.

Peaceful reset
A wonderful dreamy getaway from city life. The house was very clean. The neighbors are very quiet. If you want a getaway of peace and quiet - this is it!
We had prompt communications over email and a lovely face to face interactions with the owner. The pool was throughly enjoyed as well as the rocky shoreline. We hope to come back!

Breath-taking view and great house
You could never tire of the wrap-around view of the ocean and bays and surrounding land. The property and pool are immaculately maintained, including a fire pit and a wood pile. The house is spacious with a grand deck and umbrella tables and gas grill. The beds are comfortable, plenty of sheets and towels. Kitchen is well equipped. We spent two afternoons at Popham Beach State Park, less than an hour away. Also enjoyed a lobster dinner on the beach in front of the house. This is an ideal place for a family to get away and enjoy all Maine has to offer.

Awesome place to stay!
The views were spectacular! Everything was clean and well organized. Our grandsons loved going out on the ocean in the canoe, playing in the pool and exploring the beach. We were there over 4th of July and loved the fireworks we could see. Very friendly people. We would go back definitely. Close to a lot of other great places to enjoy.

We had a great week.
The home was well equipped. A book with great instructions awaited us. The views were something that belongs on a postcard. On day one we kayaked to the island in front and saw seals. Went back a couple more times to no avail. The pool was great. I would highly recommend. We had up to 6 of us stayed there while a couple family members stayed elsewhere and joined us for dinner etc. There was even wood set aside for the fire pit.

A Seaside Slice of Heaven!!!!!!!
My recent 3 week stay at "The Point" was a wonderful and the most relaxing vacation I have had in a very long time. The Panoramic View of the Ocean was mesmerizing and calming in my way too busy life. I was able to enjoy every meal out on the expansive wrap around deck with Sun Umbrellas. The Saltwater Pool was sheer bliss and always a comfortable temperature. Everything that I needed was there and it was spotless when I checked in.
The Hosts paid attention to every detail and made it so easy for me. They were wonderful and kind people who really care about their Guests experience.
I would highly recommend this property as it is the whole package and incredibly well priced for what you are receiving in return.
I was sad when I had to leave and return back home but you can bet that I am already signed up to return next year.
