About this property

Last House on Point in Casco Bay

Our home, the last house on a point of land, has been our peaceful summer retreat since 1986. Decks on both sides afford both an east and west view of the water. The rocky shoreline has a few sandy places for sunbathing and swimming depending on the changing of the tide. We enjoy harbor seals, blue herons, osprey, geese, gulls, and we occasionally see bald eagles!

The interior has a comfortable, open floor plan downstairs with full bath and laundry. On the second floor there are two bright, queen bedrooms, a twin bedroom, an office area with a day bed and a full bath. Two of the bedrooms open directly onto the balcony which makes it possible to lie abed and view the water beyond.

In addition to the usual amenities, we leave the kitchen stocked with spices, condiments, baking ingredients and canned goods with the understanding that whomever uses the last of anything replaces it for incoming guests. There is high speed wireless internet and basic cable.

Our best recommendation is that folks keep coming back. Check out our guest reviews! PLEASE NOTE: From June 1 to October 1, we STRONGLY prefer weekly rentals which begin and end on the weekend.

The location is magical!
I would not know how to begin to describe this property other than more than we anticipated. To be surrounded by woods and water is magical to those of us who appreciate God's beauty. We were there during full moon and it was amazing. The experience of the causeway was interesting to watch and provided us with humor and memories. Communication with the owner was great...very responsive and great at solving any issue you might experience. To wake up every morning and look at the view both in the back of the home and the front of the home makes you not want to leave for any reason, however there is much to explore in the area. Very close by at is Wolfe Neck State Park. We have been coming to Freeport, Maine area for many years and can not believe it took us so long to find this place of such beauty!.

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Carol Peterson

Host profile image
We have bought and renovated many houses over our lifetime and Thea was a particular challenge because everything needed to be upgraded. Once we got the first floor in livable condition we raised the roof on one side to allow for two queen size bedrooms with water view and two smaller rooms: a twin bed room and an office quiet room with a day bed. Over the years we continued to make cosmetic improvements - our latest being new counters in the kitchen. At this point there is very little of the original house left.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a summer home on the Maine Coast for many years and when we saw this property we bought it in our hearts before we'd even viewed the interior. The location was everything!
Prior to this we spent several summer family vacations on Bustin's, the little island that one can see from this location. Now when our adult children return each summer with their own children we all journey out to there to see where we spent many pleasant times as a young family.

What makes this property unique

Being the last house on a point is indeed a unique feature. Often during the full moon or the new moon, the causeway we drive across covers with a few inches to a eighteen inches of water at high tide. End result? We're an island for ten minutes to two hours depending on the height of the tide.

The tidal changes also brings continually changing wild life to our area. Great Blue Herons come and go with the tides as do geese, ducks, ospreys, and even striped bass. Our grandson caught a 27" one off the beach in front of our deck.

The best part is when an eagle comes to roost in one of the high pine trees in hopes of eating baby osprey. The osprey parents make quite a racket when the eagles are near.
