Love the deck house!

The house is beautifully situated with waterfront views in two directions, wrapping the living, dining and kitchen areas. It is a very short walk to a beautiful sandy beach, accessing the quieter and less crowded end.

The property is in an amazing location on the point of the bay with a breathtaking 180 view of the river feeding into the ocean. And that area was magnificent. Everything was clean and well organized, and the owner was wonderful to work with. She obviously loves and is very proud of the property. A few things could be updated, but regardless it was a lovely place to stay for almost a week and I would certainly do it again.

Great location, outdated house

The owner was great, check in was seamless. The location is outstanding, but the interior (except the kitchen) is very dated. The beds were uncomfortable, as were most chairs. Great access to the beach, excellent harbor view. With some simple upgrades this can easily be a five star property.

Your feedback is appreciated. Although you mentioned the property is dated, in 2017 and 2021, the property was completely renovated, including furnishings and new tempur-pedic beds. This property is an original Deck House, designed by the Architect, William Berkes. Since this house won an Architectural Award, we restored and upgraded the house to meet the Deck House standards as well as to accommodate guests who appreciate quality homes.

Spectacular view

Located just steps from the water where 15 lobster boats are parked, you have a 180 degree view across the waterway. This quiet location helps you enjoy perfect views of Maine’s sunsets and the spectacular rise. Fresh lobsters are sold the same day they are caught just a half mile down the street. An excellent restaurant is in the same location, which is a lobster ship harbor on a street that ends at the waterway.

Amazing views

Amazing views! Even a day of rain wasn’t an issue as you could sit back and enjoy the rain and lightning over the water. The property is very clean and everything you need is available. Regina, the host, is always on standby should you need anything or have any questions. The location is ideal as you get great views of the river and can walk to the beach in 2 min (300 yards away). Restaurants and shops are also very close. It’s a lot more quaint and relaxed than OOB. Great place for a vacation

Water views on Pine Point

The location of this property is outstanding. 180 degrees of water views and a beautiful deck to enjoy them! An easement to miles of gorgeous Maine beach is only a few houses down and that end of the beach was sparsely populated giving us lots of privacy. Walked to The Bait Shed for dinner one night —great spot, just use bug spray before you go to avoid mosquito bites. Thank you to Regina who was a thoughtful host. We appreciate you sharing your beloved family home with us.

Great Summer (or Fall) Getaway Spot

The Waterfront Deckhouse was exactly what we hoped it would be. The 6 of us (2 parents, 2 adult children and their spouses) were looking for a location that was in a relatively quiet neighborhood, but within easy driving distance to Old Orchard Beach, Portland and Freeport. The property was exactly as described and the views were even more stunning than in the pictures. We saw lots of activity on the water and could have watched for hours. Great walking location too with quiet street options and beach access close by. The deckhouse provided everything needed to relax, rest, cook for family or access all types of activities nearby or a short drive away. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent location great water views

Great location very close to an excellent beach. Views from inside and on deck were gorgeous. Kitchen was well stocked and very nice. Not being allowed to grill was disappointing but second kitchen downstairs made up for it. Handicap shower in master bath was perfect for my elderly parents. Only disappointment was the lack of blinds. The house got very hot when temperatures exceeded 85 F. But on the days that the temperature was below 85F, the ocean breeze kept the house comfortable.

Thank you for your Review. In response to your comments, on the VRBO Property Website and/or the Rental Agreement you signed, we disclosed the following information prior to your rental. -In compliance with the law and Fire Code, no grilling is allowed. -The blinds are on order, but due to the pandemic there is a shortage of materials, and the blinds were not available at the time of your rental. Since this property is an award-winning Deckhouse, designed with expansive windows to maximize the waterfront views you mentioned in your review, the property is outfitted with 2 ceiling fans, 7 fans and an air conditioner in the master bedroom. Previous Renters have commented that the property has a million-dollar view. We appreciated your feedback.

In response to your review, we appreciate your comments. Although we try to accommodate requests, we are required to comply with our Insurance Liability Policy and the Fire Safety Code Laws. Therefore, in the Rental Agreements (that were attached to the Listing) and you signed, we disclose the grilling and seawall restrictions. Thank you for your suggestions.

Beautiful vistas

The panoramic views from inside through the many sliding glass doors and the wrap-around deck are fabulous. However, it was unfortunate that outdoor grilling was prohibited. The 3 homes whose decks we can see from the property all have a grill on their deck or patio. The neighbor abutting has a large fire pit that was blazing away one night. The landlord’s statement that the “Fire Codes” prohibit barbeques rings a bit false. Also, the absence of working blinds makes it get pretty hot inside when a strong breeze is absent.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022
Response from VrboOwner on Sep 14, 2023
We are pleased you enjoyed the panoramic views. Since new windows were installed, we notified you that the window treatments were not ready at the time of your rental. In response to your grilling/fire pit comment, the homes you mentioned that had fire pits and grilling are private home-owners. Since this is a Rental property, we must comply with the Insurance and Fire Code restrictions that prohibit grilling and fire pits for local Rental properties. In the Rental Agreement that you signed, it clearly stated the Insurance/Fire Code restrictions and it was stated on the VRBO property listing. If you required grilling/fire pits, we recommend you look at the VRBO property listing more carefully that discloses all property amenities. Thank you for your comments.

Location is Amazing

This home's views are amazing. You feel like you are viewing the whole harbor. Great to watch the boats coming in an out. Easy walk to the beach and town. Based on these two items you could give the home a 5 star review. However like other reviews have stated - the home is very dated. Bring your own pillows! The house had absolutely nothing - we had to purchase paper towels, toilet paper, bath soap, dish washing soap, garbage bags, etc - all this for a two night stay. I would be okay with this for a week stay, but not for 2 nights. Regina the home manager is wonderful and wants you to enjoy your stay, however the number of labelled instructions on EVERYTHING needs to be removed. We know how to turn on a light switch. A few updates in the home and supplying basic essentials would have made this home a 5 star review.

We appreciate your review. This property is an original Deckhouse (designed by the Architect William Berkes). The property was recently renovated per the Deckhouse standards. The interior has exposed post and beams with vaulted windows and great walls of glass that feature the scenic waterfront views. It offers a space of relaxed elegance. In response to your comments, although VRBO allows Owners to charge extra fees, we did not charge extra fees. In the Rental Agreements you signed, you agreed to provide certain items. Also, in the Rental Agreement, it noted extra pillows and other essential items were included at the property. Thank you for your suggestions and review.

Significant Details

Location: 5++ Kitchen Amenities: (not sure what to call dishes and stuff) 3.5? ((Kitchen itself is great, good social layout with lots of cupboard space, but expect to improvise a little if you plan to cook a lot. Bought and left / contributed some measuring cups, paper goods, for example. )) The 6 person limit is correct, since the Deckhouse is not a large home. Using the extra 4th fold out bed is a crowd. Cleanliness: 5 Regina is more involved than most other VRBO. It is a beloved family home, older and with some of it's own quirks she wants renters to know about. It's location means there are some extra rules and regs, but well worth it for the view of birds, fish jumping, clam diggers, and fisherman coming and going from the harbor. With stunning sunrises *and* sunsets from the deck. Easy, short walk to the beach. Even if you just want to go for a quick walk, it's right there and not a production to come and go. Definitely check out the beach during low tide, too. You can walk almost across the bay. Higgins Beach is nearby with great waves, Holy Donut is good stuff, recommend The Bait Shed which is an easy walk for great food and experience. Portland is an easy trip.

In response to your review, we are pleased you enjoyed the views and the location. On the VRBO property listing and Rental Agreements you signed, it provides the maximum property capacity, detailed property information, and an inventory of items (including kitchen items for the 2-kitchens on the property). Since you added extra guests (exceeding the maximum capacity) a week before your check-in date, we accommodated your request. Thank you for your review.

Perfect Shoreline Experience

Perfect experience along the shore watching the lobster boats come in and out of the bay from the deck.. Then just head out to the street and walk about 4 houses down to be on the beach/ocean. The community is quiet, yet restaurants easy to walk to, and Old Orchard just 2 miles away if you need some night life. The property is well kept. The owner had recommendations about bringing some items, and we suggest you follow them. The owner was fantastic, met us with keys, and gave us lots of good tips to enjoy the house, the bay, and the communities we planned to visit. 100% would stay here again.
