700' OCEANFRONT RETREAT, FIRE PIT, 10 ACRES, 6 BR, 8 KAYAKS, 2 PDL BRDS,

This spectacular oceanfront property, situated on Quahog Bay, offers a truly unique level of privacy, water access and ocean-edge views. The perfect setting for a multigenerational family gathering or reunion. Across the 700+ frontage feet and 10 wooded acres there are 3 walk-in coves, a private point on the ocean's edge, a deep water pier and wharf with ladder, a mooring, a boathouse with 8 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, a canoe, a Phantom 2-person sailboat, a dinghy and life-vests for all sizes, 2 hammocks overlooking the ocean, an ocean-side firepit with 8 Adirondack chairs, and an outdoor shower. The well maintained lawns and gardens add to the beauty of the property.

The home consists of two complete houses, connected by a laundry/storage/utility area. The houses have a total of six bedrooms, three-and-a-half beautiful bathrooms, and two fully equipped kitchens with islands, plus an 8+ person dining table for each kitchen, two full living rooms with expansive windows with magnificent views, three spectacular outdoor decks.

House amenities include three smart TVs; DVD, wireless Eero hi-speed Internet access throughout, cable TV, three Sonos Play One speakers, three heat pumps supplying ample air conditioning throughout the home, gas fireplace, two Weber gas grills, two outdoor propane burners for all those "lobsters", an 8-foot picnic table, an automatic "whole house" generator (just in case a thunderstorm knocks out the power), parking for six vehicles, and games galore - outdoor (cornhole, croquet, bocce, lawn darts) and indoor (board games, cards, backgammon, puzzles).

Whether your interest is water sports, boating, fishing, hailing the lobster boats, outdoor games or just relaxing ocean-side with a good book, this property offers something for everyone. Imagine your dream vacation ...
• The fire-pit is an ideal evening gathering point ... toasting those marshmallows by a wood burning fire overlooking the Quahog Bay, sharing stories of the day. The perfect setting.
• Spend the day on the water ... kayaking or canoeing in-and-out of coves and across Quahog Bay to Raspberry and Yarmouth Islands, sailing in the Bay, walk-in swimming in one of the coves or from the wharf. Or watch all the activities from any of the decks overlooking the ocean.
• Looking for sea shells and sea creatures in tidal pools across the 700 feet of ocean frontage, or dig for clams in a sandy cove.
• Try your hand at fishing right off the rocky ocean edge on the property. With a little luck you may pull in a striper or bluefish!
• Just relax in an ocean-side hammock with a good book!

With 50+ 5-star reviews it's no surprise families so enjoy returning year-after-year to Long Point.

Memories are made here!!!

Wonderful waterside family gathering spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at this amazing property. The recently completed renovations are the icing on the cake, adding even more beautiful water views and a luxurious master suite. The outside spaces are just as enjoyable as those inside with many seating areas for soaking up the beautiful views.

Great Family Week for Thanksgiving

This house was everything we had hoped for! We were 7 adults and a baby and there was space for everyone to be together, or to have privacy when needed. The kitchens were well supplied, the linens were great, there were even bins with first aid supplies! The fire pit was fun for all as well. And the view of sunrise was amazing. I loved this home.

A Perfect Maine Vacation

This property exceeded all our expectations! The living space was absolutely perfect for our group, offering ample room to socialize while still allowing for moments of tranquility. However, the outdoor area was the true highlight. Whether it was the multiple decks from which we could spot seals, harbor porpoises, or bald eagles, the picturesque point where we could unwind and savor the rugged Maine coastline, or our adventures on the bay in the kayaks, it was truly a splendid place to unwind and enjoy a vacation.

Perfect place for extended family vacation

Long Point was even better than we imagined it would be: a bright, large place located right on the water, with numerous spaces for us all to spread out and relax, and savor the ocean scene. Even on the one rainy day we had, there was enough indoor, open space for games and reading. We kayaked and read and walked and dreamed, and splurged on one magnificent big lobster meal; we boiled up our crustaceans in the outdoor cooking area down under the big deck. Thank you, Hilda, for a wonderful stay!

A Dream Come True

Hilda has made this home so welcoming and provides every detail that makes it hard to want to leave. There is a reason she gets so many repeated guests. The view, the location, and the home itself is a package deal that's hard to beat. This is one home I would love to return to one day. Thanks for the memories Hilda.

Long Point

We stayed at Long Point this past week for the first time. I can't say enough about this fabulous place! EVERYTHING was as advertised.....except better. The views are breathtaking, the house itself is spotless and beautifully decorated. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas (Brunswick, Bailey's Island, Phippsburg) but we chose to spend most of our time at Long Point. If you go, you won't be disappointed.

Family wedding group

The property exceeded our expectations . It is very well equipped and has a beautiful outlook over the water . There is ample dining and living areas both inside and outside and a fire pit surrounded by chairs . It was perfect for our extended family group visiting Maine from the UK for our sons wedding . The boathouse is also very well equipped with kayaks , a canoe and sail boat and paddle boards . I would highly recommend the rental to anyone . It is clearly a well loved family home with many extra touches and equipment which make a huge difference to the overall experience

Perfection

We absolutely loved this property. It was a big family reunion for us and with so many people we had plenty of space and ease with cooking and kitchen equipment and accessories. Also many things to keep everyone entertained… lawn games, kayaks, the sailboat, puzzles, books, games, fire pit, hammocks. It was the perfect property. We would go back in a heartbeat and completely recommend it to anyone. Hilda was a gem and quick to help and respond to any questions we had. We thank her for putting her gorgeous property up for rental.

Fall Spectacular

Fantastic place, especially in the fall (Oct 2010). The foliage view across the water is spectacular. Also, can rent just 1/2 the property. Still, very private due to the size of the property - didn't even know anyone else was there. In addition to the waterfront amenities (kayaks, canoes, dock, lounge chairs and tables, etc) the house was well equipped with all appliances and a full complement of kitchen needs, right down blenders and wine openers. Enjoyed waking up to sunrise on the waterfront! Can't wait to go back this year!

Awesome Experience

Family gathering (Philly, Boston, Chicago participants). The house, host, and location were "Awesome". This was a annual get together of my brothers, nephews, cousins and the house was perfect for all 10 of us to bond as well as have some "down time", when wanted. My communication experience with the host was excellent, even offering to have our party check in a day early due to a Nor'easter moving up the coast. The house had everything we needed, and MORE. Everyone had a great time and when we left the house yesterday was asking "how can we possibly top this?"

A Perfect Spot

Our weekend in Harpswell was just about perfect. Family staying at the house have not stopped telling us what a marvelous time they had and what a beautiful setting all could enjoy. The accommodations worked well for a varied crew of all ages. Personally, I am called to get out on the water and the canoe was a special treat. The full moon reflecting in the bay on those clear nights was the crowning touch. We were able to celebrate a graduation weekend that we will remember for years. The layout and kitchens were just what we needed; all was supremely clean. Thanks for the opportunity and congratulations on establishing a perfect retreat! I'd recommend for many different vacation considerations.

Maine vacation- bucket list

Our family has wanted to visit Maine since our children were young and we all got here when they have children too. So 3 generations- 11 in our party - had a ball! The property was awesome - plenty of room for everyone and lots of common area space for us to be together. We took advantage of the Kayaks and the fire pit often on our trip. The property was very well appointed - I brought extra towels, kitchen utensils and plenty of cleaning supplies based on prior Vrbo experiences and didn’t need them at all - everything was very nice and usable for big meals and seafood feasts. We traveled the almost 3 hours to Acadia National Park and also went on a whale watching tour out of Kennebunkport - all wonderful as the property was fairly centrally located. Local sightseeing included Orr’s Island and Bailey’s Island - light activity but a great place to walk, hike and search for shells and sea glass at low tide. Really enjoyed the stay and the property made the difference. Our host was very helpful and was very responsive. Enjoyed the stay so much - would highly recommend!

Guestbook Comment

Simply Perfect. We had a weeklong family gathering of 14 people and Hilda's place provided the perfect setting. Sea kayaking, walking the rocky shores, buying lobster right off the boat, peaceful reading in hammocks, and ofcourse cliff diving from the point. Activities for all ages plus enough technology (internet access, DVD, TV) to keep the kids happy. While Hilda's pictures are nice, they can't capture the beautiful view of the islands and the ocean. Thanks for a truly perfect week Hilda. And for anyone wanting more details, feel free to email me.

Maine Paradise

We had a family gathering at this perfect home in Harpswell. It is a wonderful property- on the ocean with several places to sit and take it all in. We explored neighboring islands by kayak and we jogged, hiked and biked around the scenic countryside. After a day of exploring, we like to prepare a nice family dinner. This house is better appointed than any vacation home we have visited. Everything you might need (and more) is provided in the kitchen. The living spaces are furnished and decorated as a home would be, dispelling any sense of “rental property.” Hilda was gracious in answering a number of questions before and during our stay. She does everything she can to ensure a good experience of this place that has been special to her for many years.

Great family getaway at Long Point

We spent a peaceful week at Long Point. I wasn't sure how the two-houses-connected-a-laundry area would feel, but it worked really well. It allowed for both together time and a bit of privacy. The house has everything -- even speakers where you can plug in your iphone/ipod. We tended to cook and gather on the south side of the house, which had a larger, more open space for our party of ten. The dock was great and having the kayaks was a nice perk. The property is extremely large and well maintained. There was lots of space for both the teens and toddlers to do their things. We enjoyed watching the lobster boats, the loons and the hummingbirds. Hilda (the owner) was also great, going above and beyond the call of duty to help us. I recommend this property highly.

All Inclusive!

We had a great family trip to Harpswell. This house has everything you might need. I have yet to see any other VRBO or Air BnB this well appointed. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe and how great of shape everything was. This is not your typical rental with the bare necessities, Hilda has made sure everything is there for you. One of the two Kitchens was recently remodeled and it looks great. We really enjoyed how half the home was newly remodeled and the other half felt like a quaint rustic cabin. The best of both worlds. The view is spectacular and the property coastline is what you want to see in Maine. Rocky ledges but the property also has great water access off the beach and the dock. Hilda was great to communicate with and had us prepared for the trip. She even txt'd us during the trip to ensure everything was as we needed. Great house and great host.

The perfect place for making memories

Both Hilda and her home are amazing!! We are not unfamiliar with Maine and it's gorgeous coastline. My husband and I live here and so do all 4 of our grown children, yet gathering together with them is challenging with schedules as they are. This central coastal location was perfect, allowing them to even "commute" to work and still make it for meals or coffee on the deck. We enjoyed every second and found it incredibly hard to leave. It has the perfect mix of old and new. We wouldn't change a thing!! It was comfortable and we felt at home immediately and there was nothing we could have wanted for- except more time!!! The kayaks were enjoyed by all- even those of us who had our first adventure of ocean kayaking- and the firepit with it's many chairs was perfect for reminiscing and catching up with each other. Watching schools of fish swim by and eagles and osprey and seals were bonuses!! We did venture away from the house for short trips to Land's End and a very convenient and lovely church nearby- but it was hard to pry us from this beautiful home. And no one could ask for a better host!!! We feel truly honored that you allowed us the opportunity to share this magical and sacred space. Thank you Hilda - for an amazing and memorable weekend!!!!!! We long to return and wish we never had to leave!!!

About the host

Hosted by Hilda Douglas

Host profile image
Long Point is a special little piece of heaven. For generations this property has been loved and maintained. It has transitioned from the year round home of my in-laws into this wonderful vacation resort for my renters, so many of whom are repeaters from one year to the next.

Long Point has the two fully equipped kitchens, the southside living room and kitchen were 100% gutted and removed in 2019, the northside kitchen and living areas were gutted, renovated and expanded in 2021. There are 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths plus a half bath. Each room may be individually controlled with its own thermostat PLUS there is a gas fireplace in the south LR. Both the north and the southside in addition to the master bedroom enjoy the A/C from its own minisplit heat pump.

Why they chose this property

Long Point offers something special for larger groups. It is all together yet separate. With two kitchens, two living areas, three decks and approx 10 acres, large gatherings of family and friends find privacy as well as togetherness. Our guest reviews are our best advertising!

What makes this property unique

Having 10 acres, 3 coves with walk-in water access, 700 plus feet of oceanfront, 3 decks, a private floating dock, an in-ground fire-pit, EIGHT (8) kayaks, 2 paddle-boards, a canoe and a Phantom sailboat offer activity, privacy and solace for just about everyone!
