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!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a phone.

The house was amazing and Liliette was a wonderful host. We enjoyed talking with her and her sister-in-law. House had everything we needed and location was great. Very quiet area. Everyone stayed on the deck most days. It was about 2 hrs from places we like to visit yearly in Maine. Will be staying at this place next year.

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.

This is such a lovely location and we enjoyed our time there tremendously! Listening to the tidal waters is so relaxing and exploring the private little "beach" area when the tide is low results in some beautiful finds of rocks and shells. We saw Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Great Blue Herons, and a lot of Cormorants and we enjoyed watching the lobster boats check and refill their traps each day. Liliette is a gracious host and a clear, prompt communicator. We look forward to another visit in the future!

We had a wonderful visit at this house. The views from the top floor bedrooms, as well as from the living room and deck are just spectacular. The fridge -- and this is not always true at rentals - was absolutely spotless when we arrived. The "dirt" road is actually rocky and takes a little getting used to, but we improved our time each drive! The family who owns the property was wonderful, and they share the little cove with you.

So peaceful

Our family had a lovely time at this house. Everything was as advertised, and we had no big surprises about the house and its environs. To be noted…the 1.5 dirt road to access the property is challenging. Work is being done to solidify the road. This involves hand size rocks placed to provide a more solid base. Challenging to drive in a low riding car or for someone with back problems. This is truly a lovely place and well worth coming!

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!
