About this property

Charming oceanfront retreat, where time slows down and memories are made.

Welcome to our charming oceanfront retreat, where time slows down and memories are made. Perched directly on the pristine rocky Maine coastline, this family home, the main core of which was originally a Victorian New England carriage barn with characteristic cupola on top, offers breath-taking ocean views from almost every room. Guests describe the extremely spacious high-ceilinged living room, with dining table for ten under a picture window overlooking nothing but rocks and ocean, as feeling like you aboard a ship. While the house carries a sense of history and nostalgia, it exudes warmth and comfort that makes you feel right at home. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two separate living areas and vast outside decks, provide gracious accommodation for up to eight guests.

Step inside to find cozy, well-loved interiors that echo the laughter and stories of generations past. The décor radiates a timeless charm, with vintage touches that add character and a sense of place. A spacious kitchen with commercial stove is fully-equipped for cooking up a storm, should that be your passion. If your interest is more in the direction of dining out, there are dozens of choices within a short drive to suit every palate and budget. Uber is available in the area, as are local taxi services.

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves gently breaking against the rocky shore, and enjoying your morning coffee on the spacious decks which surround the house on three sides, as you watch the sun rise over the Atlantic. The Rachel Carson Nature Reserve is a ten minute walk away – a wonderful place for birdwatching and exploring the rocky shores.

This home is perfect for relaxation and soaking in the beauty of our natural surroundings and the great outdoors. Whether you're unwinding with a good book, exploring the four nearby private beaches (each within ten minutes’ walk from the house), or simply savoring the uninterrupted ocean views, this is a place where you can truly escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

When you’re ready for a bit of civilization, fifteen minutes’ drive northeast up the coast is the town of Biddeford, which has emerged in the last few years as an exciting dining destination, and twenty-five minutes southwest is world famous Kennebunkport, with its charming galleries, shops and a wide range of restaurants for all tastes. Forty minutes north is Portland, which offers even more dining options and the charming and historic Old Port neighborhood, filled with delightful galleries, cafes and shops. World famous Freeport, home of LL Bean and dozens of high end outlet stores, is an hour’s drive away.

Come and experience the simple pleasures of coastal living in a home that is undeniably full of heart and soul, but still close to amenities galore.

About the host

Hosted by Stefan Becky Pinter

Host profile image
Our house has been a beloved family home for three generations since 1966, when a couple of passionate public school teachers threw caution to the wind, and borrowed every penny they could to establish a legacy for their family in a Victorian carriage barn which then needed lots of work. The house has been lovingly improved and modernized continually, and now affords guests generous and comfortable living accommodation and ample outside space overlooking the ocean, while still maintaining its original charm and character. The family also has a house next door, and most of the time family members are present and available to answer questions and provide insights and tips about what to see and experience in the area.

Why they chose this property

Granite Point in Biddeford is a community along a two mile dead end road with only local traffic, and four private beaches and the Rachel Carson Nature Reserve within a ten minute walk from the house. Ten minutes' drive up the coast is Fortunes Rocks Beach, a two mile long public beach with opportunities for surfers on windy days.
Ten minutes' drive down the coast is Goose Rocks Beach, another two miles of public beach to explore, with a General Store and the Tides Beach Club as a beautiful location for a drink or a meal.

What makes this property unique

The most striking features of our home and surroundings include the intimate proximity to the Atlantic ocean, with its ever-changing colors and textures. Few oceanfront homes can claim more stunning and secluded views and sense of the magnificence of the sea. Stormy weather can be very dramatic and exciting, with waves crashing on the rocks directly in front of the house, and frequent bring rainbows in between showers. On calm and clear days, the ocean reflects the sun and moon in spectacular fashion. Ever-changing weather and tidal conditions mean that no day is like the previous day, and views from the house and deck are constantly changing.
