About this property

Sanctuary - The perfect waterfront setting for your summer vacation

Perched overlooking Gun Point Cove, Sanctuary boasts stunning westerly views from a beautifully built Post & Beam style home in a private, wooded setting, perfect for your family vacation. The grounds are meticulously maintained with a lush lawn for children to play and a stone path to the dock and waterside deck, a perfect place for the whole family to gather! 

When you walk through the door, you will find a beautiful kitchen with everything you need to make a wonderful home-cooked Maine meal, a dining room with a propane fireplace that opens to an elevated deck overlooking the ocean, a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or tea, a living room with comfortable seating and a fireplace, a great sitting area to enjoy a good book, and a ground level family room with a TV and a new full bathroom with shower that opens to a path to the water. Upstairs on the second level, you will find the master bedroom with a full bathroom and plenty of closet space, another bedroom with closets, a third bedroom, and a shared full bathroom. On the third level, there are two small bedrooms. The ground floor, formerly offering a game room has been transformed into a 6th bedroom with queen bed and direct access to a full bathroom! You'll love all of the great places to gather, as well as the many quiet spaces to relax. 

On a perfect Maine summer day, you'll find yourself sitting on the waterside deck enjoying your favorite drink, basking in the warm sunshine, and swimming from the dock to explore all of the wonders of the coast of Maine! Sanctuary is located at the end of the road, so you will enjoy the peace and quiet and great morning and afternoon walks, while being just 15 minutes from all the amenities of Brunswick and the Harpswell Islands, offering many local restaurants, shops, and beaches.

Sanctuary boasts the perfect setting and location for your summer vacation and this oceanside home will surely call you back year after year.

Staying at the same place year after year
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love staying here. It’s a perfect location for people who like to swim - and we do! It’s a wonderful place for people to gather together without being on top of each other. It’s peaceful. There’s an osprey nest nearby. Favorite activity = sitting on the upper deck, watching the sunset.

Fabulous house
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house. It was spotlessly clean, had everything one may need and the house managers were very helpful and kind. The house is much nicer than it appears in the photos. The dock has a great place to sit on and there is a downstairs with a pool table and lovely sitting area. I am obsessive about cleanliness and in all honesty this might have been the cleanest house I have ever been in. Absolutely perfect.
