Beautiful and quiet Cottage with 230' Frontage on Gun Point Cove
The cottage is located on the west side of Gun Point Cove 20 feet above and 50 feet from the water’s edge on a very private treed lot facing the early morning sunrise and south east down the cove to the Atlantic Ocean; which can be viewed from the large bay windows and the sliding glass doors in the living room and master bedroom above or the decks outside those rooms. Venture outside down the path and along the 230 feet of deep water frontage where a fire pit with large log seats allows viewing of seals and birds swimming or an occasional fish jumping. The fire pit has firewood close by and a picnic table that seats six. Walk 40 feet south you come to a dock and ramp extending 20 feet into the water with a 10’X16’ float attached; even at a minus tide you still have 4 feet of water under the front of the float. This allows your own craft or kayaks (or rental craft) to be tied to the float or you can fish from or just sun bathe on the float (use of the dock is at your own risk).

For the birds
An eagle nests near our bedroom. Over the water glide ospreys, gulls, cormorants, herons, terns and a few we haven’t met yet! We love this treehouse and feel blessed to be here. Thank you, Al!

Peaceful week on the cove
The house is a great place to relax. Very peaceful with access to a dock. We saw many eagles and ospreys. Beautiful sunrises over the water every morning. Not a good area to go for a walk but there are many nearby hiking trails.

Great stay
We (husband + kids) stayed here for a long weekend for my husband’s birthday. He loves to fish so this was a great spot. Though he didn’t have any luck with the fish, we all enjoyed our stay and you couldn’t ask for a better view, scenery, and surroundings. The house was comfortable to meet our family’s needs with 2 teens and 1 infant. Great stay.

Excellent Location
The view is incredible, and the amenities are amazing! It’s a fantastic location. We hope to stay there again!
Our stay was unseasonably warm and wet at the same time. There was a dampness in the air in the home which lent itself to a bit of a musty smell. This did not take away from our incredible stay, but it is something to consider if you have sensitivities/allergies. You are right on the water, so bear that in mind.
The panoramic view of the ocean from the master bedroom is breath taking. It never once got old. Hearing the waves crash against the rocks lulled us to sleep every night, and seeing the sunrise over the water was the best way to start each day.
Again, we are so excited to stay there again.

Back to my roots
We stayed on Orr’s Island for a week- it is about 7 miles from where I grew up. The property exceeded our expectations in almost every way. It was fully stocked with everything we needed- the location on the water was quiet and very private. We saw deer, loons, herons and even a bald eagle without having to leave the property.
From this base we were in close distance to many excellent restaurants, shops, golf courses. In the evening we relaxed by the fire pit and listened to nature around us. The water views were fantastic! We definitely want to return to this location!

Wonderful secluded view on the water
We had a wonderful time on our first trip to Maine. This property is right on the water and the views are amazing. We loved seeing the lobster boats each morning at sunrise. The house is very well stocked with things you might need. The owner was correct in saying there are a number of steps and this location is not appropriate for those with mobility issues. Thankfully, we had no issues but did take care on the many steps. If I have any suggestions for this beautiful location, it would be to remove some of the decorative items lining the window sills. This would allow for uninterupted views and easier cleaning of surfaces. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Peaceful Retreat
Staying here we were able to truly relax with the sounds of the birds and waves. We saw ospreys, bald eagles and gulls. Breezes off the water made it cool in the evenings perfect for a small campfire and s’mores. Knick-knacks and books lend so much character to the place. The best feature for us was the dock. Being able to swim everyday was a highlight of our stay. There were also a few kayaks which were great fun when the water was calm. This is a special place and well loved. I highly recommend it for couples and a small family.
