About this property

Private Ocean Front property with bathing cove and deep water swimming

Check THIS one out! What a spot! Situated almost at the tip of the peninsula Gun Point on Great Island, this location offers spectacular views of Casco Bay. Facing southwest, one can behold outstanding sunsets behind Orr's and Bailey Islands across Gun Point Cove, and admire the vastness of the open sea of Casco Bay beyond, all while soaking in the warmth of the setting sun. The 3 bedroom well kept cape is on the ocean's edge. The movement of the tidal waters will soothe and relax you making your getaway one you will not soon forget. For children of all ages, the bathing cove, formed by the ledges and right in the front, offers great fun for swimming at high tide and exploring tidal pools for sea creatures at low tide not to leave out the collection of seashells of all shapes and sizes. And for the older, experienced swimmers, there is a dock occasionally shared with owners for deep water swimming during any tide. It is a very quiet spot yet close to public beaches. Sight seeing drives through quaint coastal towns is a must. You will not be disappointed. Come and experience what living on the Maine coast is all about!

Beautiful views and great shelling

This was a very clean, tidy, and lovely home on the rock cliffs with its own swimming hole at high tide. It was convenient for shopping and visiting quaint gift shops. Sunset views were phenomenal!The owner is very friendly and helpful with answers to our questions about local places to visit. I would stay here again in the future.

Oceanfront home away from home

This spot was perfect for our vacation! It was even better than we were expecting. The view was amazing, owners were wonderful, the house was great, and it was nice and quiet. We hope to spend many more summer vacations in this home.

Restful property with plenty to do nearby

Comfortable accommodations, welcoming host and beautiful location for family and friends. Farmers markets, historic towns, music, theater, hiking, kayaking and other activities nearby. All kinds of shopping, tours, and entertainment are available in Portland, an hour away. A little further south there’s outlet shopping at Freeport. We have stayed here for years and plan to continue.

Beautiful, relaxing location

Our family had a wonderful time in Harpswell and will gladly return if we're able to arrange it! The location of this home is beautifully scenic and though other homes are nearby it always felt nicely private. Watching lobster boats troll nearby to check their traps daily, sharing space with sea life in the tidal pools, and enjoying the seclusion of coastal Maine living all combined to make out time there a great reprieve from normal day-to-day responsibilities. Liliette was a gracious, friendly host, informative but never intrusive, and communicated promptly in response to any inquiries. Thank you so much for a very favorable experience!

Seaside Bliss!

My family had a vacation we will never forget in Harpswell. The property is ideal for all kinds of activities - swimming, fishing, snorkeling, picking mussels for dinner and sitting back to watch the boats go by. We purchased a pair of binoculars midweek to better view seals, bald eagles and boats. Beautiful property and excellent accommodations. Very nice hosts!

Beautiful Views

The house was welcoming and right on the water. The views were amazing over the water. The beds were comfortable. We launched our kayaks from the dock. We found seaglass in the tidal pool and waded and swam during high tide. The deck was large and had plenty of seating.

Perfect!

My family of five (kids age 10, 7, and 4) just had the most amazing stay at this property. It’s full of unique original charm, was super clean upon check in and freshly stocked with linens and all that we needed to be comfortable. The host was warm and welcoming - she greeted us at the property and saw us off at the end of our stay. My kids loved the deep water dock swimming and the cove was perfect for finding creatures and swimming/exploring in shallower water. The view of the cove at night took our breath away! The location was also perfect for day tripping to explore other local areas. We hope to return one day!

Summer on Maine Coast

The house was brilliant for our family. Especially since it is the summer of 2020, the isolation offered by the house was very welcome. The floating dock was a bigger hit with our family (3 teenage kids) than I ever expected. Every bit as much or more fun than a beach. We rented kayaks and paddleboards for the week, tied hammocks up in the yard and hardly ever left the property except to visit the local Lobster purveyor. Lilliette was extremely helpful, even checking on our kayay/paddleboard rentals before we arrived.

Views and environment perfect!

We really loved the beautiful setting and clean comfort of this home, and the friendly family that owns and cares for it. We would certainly recommend it to others. Only drawback was no washer/dryer in the house. Otherwise all was well taken care of and had everything we needed. We borrowed 2 kayaks from my nephew and this was the best launch site we ever had at high tide. We recommend renting kayaks and exploring this beautiful cove. Another plus is it is almost at the end of a peninsula so there is almost no traffic or noise to interfere with the sounds of nature.
