About this property
Spectacular Oceanfront House on Maine Coast
This is a spectacular summer house on the Maine coast with 180 degree view of ocean. The house, built in 1902, has tremendous character and charm, with 6 bedrooms that sleep 10. The primary bedroom has a king bed, the third floor bedroom has a queen, and the others have a standard double bed, a room with two twin beds and two rooms with a single twin bed. The large front deck has a sweeping view of the ocean, nearby islands, working lobster boats, and passing sailboats. There is also an awning for shade when needed. The house is located at the end of a gravel road ensuring quiet and privacy. A grassy front lawn connects to a path down to a rocky beach ideal to take a dip in the ocean, collect sea glass, climb on the rocks, or skip stones. The dining room is designed like the bridge of a ship with a sweeping view of ocean and seats 10. A stone fireplace in the living room and gas heaters keep the chill off in the shoulder seasons. The kitchen includes a gas stove, and gas grill outside, and all the amenities needed for steaming lobster and other culinary pursuits. Located on beautiful Orr's Island, 20 minutes from Brunswick, home of Bowdoin College, and half hour from Freeport, home of outlets and L.L. Bean. This is a unique and very special property to rent.

About the host
Hosted by Peter Shiras
I am retired and live in Baltimore with my wife. My grandfather bought this property in 1954 and it has 10 acres of fields and woods behind it and up the hill with additional spectacular views of the ocean.
Why they chose this property
I inherited the house and land from my parents and it is where I and my children spent time every summer of our lives. It overlooks lobster buoys, sailboats passing by, the islands of Ram, Pond and Ragged, and then the open ocean. A grand house and truly a spectacular spot
What makes this property unique
Sitting on the porch and looking at the ocean. Swimming in the ocean. Exploring the surrounding area.
