About this property

Maine Oceanfront Home

Aberdeen is an elegant oceanfront home built in the style of coastal New England craftsman cottages. It greets the morning sunrise with huge windows and airy interiors and faces east for spectacular sunrise views. It sits on the eastern side of Orr's Island and enjoys panoramic open-ocean views, cooling sea breezes and the sounds of an enthusiastic surf hitting the rocks--all delights to the senses! Built in the image of an old coastal-Maine cottage, it is a large house with all the modern amenities, privacy and a spacious interior. Complete down to the inglenook and wood-burning stove in the living room, it will take you back to the glories of the turn of the century while happily bypassing the inconveniences of that time. It has four bedrooms, plus a sleeping loft, two bathrooms, a laundry room with washer and dryer, a kitchen that overlooks the dining room, a living room, an entertainment room/office, a large front deck, and an enclosed porch. The entertainment room has a flat screen cable TV, DVD player, leather armchair, and there is wireless internet. Outside is a spacious deck, lawn and gardens, an outdoor shower, and a small stream down to the ocean. A beautiful wide swath of grass leads you to the rock-bound shoreline complete with ledges, a beach and tide pools. You can launch your own kayaks from the beach, and kids can find sea glass and shells. The land is a total of 13 acres and is available for rental nine months of the year. For views, space, comfort, elegance and convenience, you can't beat Aberdeen. It is located 20 minutes from Brunswick, home of Bowdoin College, grocery stores, gas stations, shops, and 30 minutes from Freeport where you can shop at outlet stores and L.L. Bean.

Spectacular Place!

Absolutely fantastic location on the ocean! It was everything my family dreamed of for a stay on the coast of Maine. There was plenty of room for our family of ten. There was a small problem at check-in which was taken care of immediately. Our host was excellent! Highly recommended place to getaway!

Orr's Island Getaway

We (5 retired siblings) thoroughly enjoyed the expansive home and the peaceful surroundings. Far enough away from the bustle of a town, yet close enough to easily shop for lobster and groceries. We plan to return next year!

Maine Trip

Amazing home right on the Maine coast. The house was very clean, spacious and well kept. The owners were very available and responsive to a couple of minor questions over the weekend. We would definitely stay again if our travels lead us back to the area.

Perfect house in any weather!

My group of friends stayed here for our Bowdoin College reunion weekend. The house was perfectly located within easy driving distance of campus, and the Maine coast views were spectacular. We enjoyed the waterfront and wading into the tide pools on our sunny day, and playing games and lounging by the wood stove on our rainy day. Would highly recommend!

Perfect for our weekend

The house was perfect for our needs. 6 adults in town for a graduation. Easy and beautiful drive to Brunswick/Bowdoin and great location for a base to enjoy the area. The highlight is certainly the porch and the great views from almost every window. Well stocked kitchen. Owner was easy to reach for questions before and during and the house gives off a great Maine vibe. Lots of books, too. We highly recommend this gem!

MAINE respite

Our 1st morning brought a terrific sigh of satisfaction and relaxation to myself and our 5 young adult family members. Quintessentially Maine in location, views, home and amenities we had a wonderful week in Aberdeen. The attic/loft bedroom was short for tall family members but, the home was large enough that sleeping arrangements were accommodated elsewhere. Our 3 family dogs enjoyed the outside fenced area with their own view of the cove while we greatly enjoyed the outside shower nearby. The home is wonderful, very comfortable, nicely furnished/decorated and built in a sensible style that creates room for all and focuses on views of the sea.

This is the Maine House We’ve All Dreamed Of

Several members of my family and I enjoyed the week before Christmas at this classic Maine home. It sits on a knoll overlooking the ocean on a dead end street. While there, it’s like living in a post card, complete with pine trees and crashing surf. The home has lots of character and holds the energy of the happy memories that have been made there. We enjoyed every moment ! And as a post script, we inadvertently left two bags at the house when we headed home and got a prompt call from the property manager, Amy, letting us know of the oversight. She then boxed them up and got them in the mail to us in very short order. What a wonder she is! Aberdeen is Maine as it used to be, and how we have imagined it to be. It’s a true treasure!

This was a reunion trip of 8 women graduating from high school 50 yrs ago! Beautiful location, lovely home with plenty of room...we went sightseeing, shopping, out to nice restaurants, and to a play in Portland. The best part by far was visiting on the deck watching lobstermen checking their traps...nonstop conversation all week!

This is a beautiful property and was great for a quick weekend away. One aspect to note is that the third floor bedroom is accessible via a pull-down staircase, much like an attic. That is great for young kids but may be problematic for adults.

About the host

Hosted by Natalie Shiras

Host profile image
I am a retired pastor of Church on the Hill (United Church of Christ) in Lenox, MA and I have two grown children. My grandfather bought this property in 1957 and my parents built this home in 1996 for their retirement. I inherited the property in 2010.

Why they chose this property

This is a spectacular property on a quiet island. The home is winterized for a great vacation all year long. There are pathways and 13 acres (total) of wooded and shoreline property, board games, HD TV, stereo, and DVD player. The side yard has an enclosed dog-run. First floor includes a large kitchen and dining room; large living room; wood stove; entertainment room/office; a large porch with ocean views, a mudroom, and an enclosed porch. Full bath on first floor with shower. There is a large shed with wood storage and an outdoor shower. Second floor includes master bedroom with queen (oceanview); bedroom with full-sized bed (oceanview); bedroom with twin bed (oceanview); and a bedroom with twin bed (and a trundle bed underneath that slides out) with wooded view; and a full bathroom. The sleeping loft on the third floor has two twin beds and space for two mattresses (wooded and ocean views).

What makes this property unique

The ocean, fresh seafood, fresh lobster, beautiful sunrise views of the water. Home includes all kitchen and cooking utensils, including lobster picks, pot, plates, and aprons for eating lobster. The house is a carpenter's dream. All wood interior in the style of a New England craftsman cottage, with all modern conveniences. The property is spectacular, especially the one acre shore property. It is rocky, but yields to a small pebbly beach at low tide. 180 degree views of the open ocean from the shore. Shore access is a private path on our property, which is very close to the ocean. You can hear the ocean with the windows open from every room in the house.
