About this property

Located at the edge of Gun Point Cove, The Studio, is a rare property. The highest tides flow under the deck and from the living room, you are sitting eye-level to lobstermen hauling their traps just yards away. Unrestricted and spectacular 270 degree views of bustling Casco Bay. This is the perfect get-away where a weary soul can rejuvenate and be inspired by Nature’s best.
The secluded pebble beach just a few steps away, is the ultimate for searching for sea glass and contains a large tidal pool where squid, fish, lobsters and crabs can usually be found by brave individuals willing to wade into the knee-deep cool sea water.
Moonlit nights are absolutely breathtaking. With none of the typical city-light pollution, the true colors of the night shine through and the moon light reflects vividly off a jet-black shimmering mirror.
This property is perfect for two, but accommodates four. It is the little sister to The Point (Vrbo 683109) located nearby. Both properties share a solar-heated saltwater swimming pool which is located between the cottages.

Unbelievable!!!

You will never find a location as spectacularly amazing and private as this. Whatever time you plan on staying won’t be enough. I actually cried when I left. I was able to explore all of the islands in the Harpswell area, hike nearby trails, do a day trip to Portland, and just sit back and enjoy the sunrise and sunset on the ocean every day. It was so cool to see the moon reflecting in the water, lighthouse lights in the distance at night, and lobster boats going about their business as well. If I am ever in the area again I will make sure I plan my trip around the availability of this house. The property manager, Sheri, is also incredible! She was so helpful answering any questions I had and went out of her way to make my stay exceptional. If I had a property I would absolutely want her to manage it. Sheri gets 10 stars! Thank you to the owners and Sheri for everything!!!

Simple but Stunning.

From the wooded, well maintained dirt road into the property, to seeing the actual building location and grounds, You are just in awe. Simple and clean amenities. I'm a TV freak and didn't look for a TV to watch for a day and a half. Spectacular.

Mental Comfort and Tranquility

Who knew life on the rocks could be SO wonderful!!! Perched over the tide drenched rocky shore was the most comforting and relaxing way to spend our time. The views and serenity were surreal and unsurpassed.

Nothing short of amazing!

The pictures do not do this cottage justice. It is serene, and you are literally on the water. The property manager was extremely helpful and communicative. Also I've never seen a cleaner rental and I am an OCD cleaner. Thank you for the relaxation and the ability to be so close to nature.

About the host

Hosted by Sheri Blackstone

This gorgeous piece of land is now owned and maintained by the three eldest brothers of the Dostie family- Paul, Jack and Dan. They all live on various spots along the peninsula.

"We are so happy that you are able to enjoy The Studio as it truly is a special place."

Why they chose this property

The Gun Point peninsula has a rich history beginning with Native Americans, later including pirates, bootleggers and smugglers. There was also abundant industry here for a time. At the turn of the century, Dan’s Ice Pond (a freshwater pond located more inland on the peninsula) was created to harvest ice. Ice was shipped all along the East Coast as far as Florida. During the Colonial War supplies were blocked by the British; subsequently a “salt works” was built on Gun Point Creek to process sea salt. Since then, the peninsula has served as a docking area for lobster fishing, clam and mussel harvesting, seaweed harvesting and a fabulous vacation spot. In the early 1960’s, Jules and Yvette Dostie with partners and friends, bought the entirety of Gun Point; built the road and developed the land.

What makes this property unique

Located at the very tip of the Gun Point peninsula, you can experience spectacular views that will make you fall in love with this unique place. While enjoying morning coffee or dining al fresco on the front deck, you can watch lobster boats getting their daily catch, and sailboats on their way to Boothbay Harbor. It is an exceptional place where you can enjoy the pool, walk the beach, collect sea glass and shells, or just relax and enjoy the summer days.
