The pure joy of bringing 3 generations together under one roof on OP holds a special place in our hearts! The views, walks, relaxing on the porch…this home was perfect.
We had a wonderful time in this quaint and quirky cottage by the sea. Beautifully furnished to reflect the age of the house. Every amenity generously provided. Enjoyed our coffee on the porch watching the boats go by. Seemed to be a close knit community which we liked. A 5 K race went by our doorstep on the first day! A wonderful stay in an area we consider heaven.
After a full day of sight seeing all the lighthouses in the area, it was great coming back to this peaceful cottage! We loved walking down to the rocky shore and watching the sunrise! Kitchen was well stocked and beds were very comfortable. A perfect weekend
We came up the end of June into the 4th of July and had a fabulous week. The house had anything and everything you could need. We had a minor glitch where the coffee pot wasn't working and I sent a message to the owner, just so they could have it replaced before the next guests, but they had the caretakers bring a new pot right over! It arrived less than an hour after I sent the message! We loved the little book with the history of the house and the Family that has loved it since 1920!
We enjoyed the rustic feel of the cottage in a great location! The property managers were very easy to talk to and got back to us quickly, answering all of our questions as we asked them. Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to vacation in your home.
We two couples enjoyed this cottage with so many walks along the lovely rocky mid-coast shore. Catching dramatic sunsets was a favorite while sitting on the rocks located a short half block down the street.

Pleasant Spot
Our family enjoyed our week by the ocean. It's a short walk down the street to sit on the rocks to view the boat traffic or a gorgeous sunset. There are places for the kids to play and plenty nice walks. The cottage was comfortable and had plenty of room.
This property was available as advertised. It offers the most authentic rustic charm matched with the most perfect location.
My children are the 4th generation to vacation on OP! It truly is a slice a paradise frozen in time. The ocean is a view and steps away as well as the playground, tennis courts, pickle ball, etc.
we appreciate Sea Haven!

Perfect Maine coast camp!
This place was a special treat. It is quite campish on the inside. There are tons of cool old dishware. The best part was the location. It has a view of the ocean from the porch in 2 directions. Also, there is a community center about 2 houses away. It's great for kids with an indoor area containing ping pong, air hockey and more. My family loved it there.

Ocean Point House
Unfortunately there was an odor in the kitchen which put a damper on our stay. Also an outdoor light fixture fell when we closed the front door which was hard to close.
The owners communicated about our issues which was good. And location is excellent.

Great vacation with just one problem
We arrived on Saturday afternoon and found the cottage in clean and welcoming condition. It appeared to have everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. There was an unavoidable issue with the element in the hot water heater so the owners promptly had it repaired and reimbursed us for the two days for which we had no hot water. The owners were very responsive and helpful, and we had a very lovely vacation in the beautiful Ocean Point.
Maintaining the historical nature of the cottage is sentimentally endearing, however physically uncomfortable. Seating and beds made it difficult to rest and relax. The tiny electric stove and vintage kitchen tools made cooking a challenge. However, the short walking distance to the rocky coastline was delightful.

Sea Haven at Ocean Point
The house is very shabby on the outside -- paint peeling, some wood rot. The only house in Ocean Point not well maintained. Both owners live thousands of miles away, so are not there to maintain the property. The interior is fine, and clean, but a bit cluttered. The location is A+.
My daughter and son in law are experienced vacation house renters and felt that this was somewhat overpriced based on its condition.
We had an awesome time at Sea Haven. Smell the fresh sea air, walk all over the point. Cute little beach. Climbed on the rock path.Even got some kitty pets in with Oscar at the end of the street! The kids were having loads of fun playing. It was great. Even the weather cooperated. Lovely sea breeze on the porch and in the house.
Ocean Point is such a beautiful, quintessential Maine spot. On top of the perfect location, this funky little cottage is packed to the gills with anything you might need. It’s probably the best -equipped rental we’ve ever stayed in. It’s definitely on the funky side, which is what we appreciate in a Maine summer cottage.
Our communication with the owners was top notch too. We’d love to stay here again.
This space worked very well for our group - myself and my mom, my two kids, and another couple. The location was fantastic. Kids loved the assorted dvds for down time at night and playground across the street, I loved the eclectic assortment of artwork, dishes etc. Ocean point is a special place that our family has visited for generations. Being able to stay there for a week was such a privilege. Hosts had great communication. Would love to come back!
Built in 1902; a lot of the original rooms are as they were when they were built, including an old wood burning stove in excellent condition you can't use it however). Ideal location about 100 yards from the ocean; quiet area; tennis courts;
Had a constant sea breeze and house was equipped with multiple room air conditioners. Spacious bedrooms and living area.
Very cute cottage with a surprising amount of space and excellently located in Ocean Point with easy walking access to the Point. I definitely would recommend this.
We had a wonderful vacation at OP again this year. Location is incredible and neighbors are friendly. The cottage had everything we needed. Thank you.
