About this property

A classic Maine family home

Classic Maine home with electric vehicle charger. It is located close to three sandy beaches ( Higgins, Scarborough State Park and Ferry). A Maine lobsterman sells locally caught seafood just a minute from the house or enjoy fine dining overlooking the ocean at nearby Black Point Inn. Also close is Eastern Trails and Camp Ketcha offering opportunities for great mountain biking and hiking or kayak the Scarborough Marsh from the Audubon Center. Enjoy lunch and shopping in Portland which is both a mix of quintessential seaside town and eclectic modern flair. For the kids and kids at heart on Route 1 is Funtown Amusement Park, Aquaboggin Water Park and yes even a drive-in movie theatre. Thirty minutes to the south are the ocean side villages of Wells, Kennebunkport, and Ogunquit. Thirty minutes to the north is Freeport (home of LL Bean)and many outlet stores. At the end of the day spend the evening gathered round in a large natural hickory and pine kitchen with professional chefs range and oven or outside by a fire on an open stone patio. Our home is fully equipped with all kitchen essentials, bedding, towels, beach towels, chairs and sand toys. All the comforts of home. 2 queen size beds,2 single size, a single folding bed and a pack&play.

Couldn't be happier!
This property and its owner couldn't have been better. The house is perfect for a family and I have never had a house that was as well-stocked with everything we could imagine. This house had it all. The location was perfect for visits to several beaches, Portland and its iconic Old Port, Portland Headlight and a trip on a lobster fishing boat for the young ones. And, any correspondence I had with the owner was answered quickly.

About the host

Host profile image
We lived in this house with our children until they were grown but had to relocate to New Hampshire for work reasons. We are happy to come back here when we can and to share this beautiful area with others.

Why they chose this property

We love Black Point Rd because it starts on Rt 1, an historic eastern highway known here as The Boston Post Rd,and ends at The Cliff Walk in Prout’s Neck. The four mile stretch of road offers up a microcosm of Maine life

What makes this property unique

This location is central the what Vacationland has to offer
