Why the Owner Chose Old Orchard Beach
In as much as I like living in Vermont, I love the ocean and have always lived near a coast. When my family moved 'inland' I decided to buy a small classic Maine coast cottage to go to on weekends when I just HAD to walk the beach and smell the salty air. I chose Pine Point because I love walking the 7 miles of sandy beach and enjoy the city of Portland.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
My cottage is a very classic, old-fashioned Maine coast cottage, having been built in the 1940s. I have decorated it with local antiques, flea-market finds and items from LL Bean. It is in a quiet residential area far away from the frenzy of Old Orchard Beach, yet has access to the beautiful OOB coastline. My cottage is directly across the street from a section of the beach which has no public parking and so is very unpopulated. The beach is at the end of a beautiful walkway through wild sandgrass. There is a small take out clam shak one block away and a working lobster cover (with a fresh fish market) at the end of the street at Pine Point Landing.
Downtown Portland and The Old Port are only 12 miles away and offer great nightlife and cultural activities.
My cottage is purposely low tech - no big television, cable or internet access. It is the perfect vacation spot for someone looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat where you can enjoy the magnificant beauty of the Maine coast.
