The Waterfront Deckhouse-Pine Point Beach Waterfront Property
The property is located in the waterfront Pillsbury Shores area of Pine Point. It has a corner scenic view of the sunrises and sunsets overlooking the Scarborough Marsh, Pine Point Harbor and Prouts Neck. It is less than a 3-minute walk to the 7-mile Pine Point Beach. Ideally located, the property has a wrap around deck. On a clear day, from the deck, you can see Mount Washington, 91 miles west.
The house is an original (award winning) Deck House, designed by the Architect, William Berkes. In 2017, the property was completely renovated. This renovation included the following: new kitchen and appliances, new washer/dryer, tiled bathrooms, hardwood, porcelain and marble flooring. In addition, a new GAF Roofing System and the deck house custom-designed, waffle door, were added. The house has imported fir and mahogany post and beams. Vaulted cathedral windows bring in light and breathtaking waterfront scenery.
You can enjoy watching the ocean wildlife, water activities and vivid sunsets while sipping your wine on the wraparound deck.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Great location, outdated house
The owner was great, check in was seamless. The location is outstanding, but the interior (except the kitchen) is very dated. The beds were uncomfortable, as were most chairs. Great access to the beach, excellent harbor view. With some simple upgrades this can easily be a five star property.
Amazing views! Even a day of rain wasn’t an issue as you could sit back and enjoy the rain and lightning over the water. The property is very clean and everything you need is available. Regina, the host, is always on standby should you need anything or have any questions. The location is ideal as you get great views of the river and can walk to the beach in 2 min (300 yards away). Restaurants and shops are also very close. It’s a lot more quaint and relaxed than OOB. Great place for a vacation
The location of this property is outstanding. 180 degrees of water views and a beautiful deck to enjoy them! An easement to miles of gorgeous Maine beach is only a few houses down and that end of the beach was sparsely populated giving us lots of privacy. Walked to The Bait Shed for dinner one night —great spot, just use bug spray before you go to avoid mosquito bites. Thank you to Regina who was a thoughtful host. We appreciate you sharing your beloved family home with us.
The Waterfront Deckhouse was exactly what we hoped it would be. The 6 of us (2 parents, 2 adult children and their spouses) were looking for a location that was in a relatively quiet neighborhood, but within easy driving distance to Old Orchard Beach, Portland and Freeport. The property was exactly as described and the views were even more stunning than in the pictures. We saw lots of activity on the water and could have watched for hours. Great walking location too with quiet street options and beach access close by. The deckhouse provided everything needed to relax, rest, cook for family or access all types of activities nearby or a short drive away. We would definitely stay there again.
This home's views are amazing. You feel like you are viewing the whole harbor. Great to watch the boats coming in an out. Easy walk to the beach and town. Based on these two items you could give the home a 5 star review.
However like other reviews have stated - the home is very dated. Bring your own pillows! The house had absolutely nothing - we had to purchase paper towels, toilet paper, bath soap, dish washing soap, garbage bags, etc - all this for a two night stay. I would be okay with this for a week stay, but not for 2 nights.
Regina the home manager is wonderful and wants you to enjoy your stay, however the number of labelled instructions on EVERYTHING needs to be removed. We know how to turn on a light switch.
A few updates in the home and supplying basic essentials would have made this home a 5 star review.
Location: 5++
Kitchen Amenities: (not sure what to call dishes and stuff) 3.5?
((Kitchen itself is great, good social layout with lots of cupboard space, but expect to improvise a little if you plan to cook a lot. Bought and left / contributed some measuring cups, paper goods, for example. ))
The 6 person limit is correct, since the Deckhouse is not a large home. Using the extra 4th fold out bed is a crowd.
Cleanliness: 5
Regina is more involved than most other VRBO. It is a beloved family home, older and with some of it's own quirks she wants renters to know about. It's location means there are some extra rules and regs, but well worth it for the view of birds, fish jumping, clam diggers, and fisherman coming and going from the harbor. With stunning sunrises *and* sunsets from the deck.
Easy, short walk to the beach. Even if you just want to go for a quick walk, it's right there and not a production to come and go.
Definitely check out the beach during low tide, too. You can walk almost across the bay.
Higgins Beach is nearby with great waves, Holy Donut is good stuff, recommend The Bait Shed which is an easy walk for great food and experience. Portland is an easy trip.
The house is beautifully situated with waterfront views in two directions, wrapping the living, dining and kitchen areas. It is a very short walk to a beautiful sandy beach, accessing the quieter and less crowded end.
Fabulous location. Enjoyed watching the tides chance and all the boat activity.
All the bones are good. Bedrooms could use a fresh look.

The most beautiful view every morning and evening. Short Walk to the beach
Upstairs is wonderful
Downstairs could use some updating, but for the price and everything it was perfect everything we hoped it would be. We will definitely stay again. Regina, the owner is wonderful and easy to work with.
The property is in an amazing location on the point of the bay with a breathtaking 180 view of the river feeding into the ocean. And that area was magnificent. Everything was clean and well organized, and the owner was wonderful to work with. She obviously loves and is very proud of the property. A few things could be updated, but regardless it was a lovely place to stay for almost a week and I would certainly do it again.
Located just steps from the water where 15 lobster boats are parked, you have a 180 degree view across the waterway. This quiet location helps you enjoy perfect views of Maine’s sunsets and the spectacular rise. Fresh lobsters are sold the same day they are caught just a half mile down the street. An excellent restaurant is in the same location, which is a lobster ship harbor on a street that ends at the waterway.
Great location very close to an excellent beach. Views from inside and on deck were gorgeous. Kitchen was well stocked and very nice. Not being allowed to grill was disappointing but second kitchen downstairs made up for it. Handicap shower in master bath was perfect for my elderly parents. Only disappointment was the lack of blinds. The house got very hot when temperatures exceeded 85 F. But on the days that the temperature was below 85F, the ocean breeze kept the house comfortable.
The only things we were disappointed with were not being able to grill and not being able to go to the edge of the water. Neither thing was mentioned in the listing. Only found out after we booked and paid.
The panoramic views from inside through the many sliding glass doors and the wrap-around deck are fabulous. However, it was unfortunate that outdoor grilling was prohibited. The 3 homes whose decks we can see from the property all have a grill on their deck or patio. The neighbor abutting has a large fire pit that was blazing away one night. The landlord’s statement that the “Fire Codes” prohibit barbeques rings a bit false. Also, the absence of working blinds makes it get pretty hot inside when a strong breeze is absent.
Very nice, clean home in an absolute beautiful part of Maine. The marsh and beach were spectacular with a short walk to the beach. Sunrises were exceptional. All conveniences of home.
The location of the house is perfect. Short walk to beautiful beach, close to kayaking, bird watching. The deck is wonderful with views over marsh and toward ocean. Kitchen is fully stocked, including lobster pot! Some needs for furniture upgrade such as beds. We didn’t use bedrooms downstairs, but beds there also soft and downstairs a bit dark for anther couple if splitting rental. We had a great week and would love to return!
The location of this rental property is ideal. The ocean is 50 feet off the deck. 270deg views of Scarborough river. It’s a short walk to the beach and is very close to numerous restaurants. Our stay was very quiet with little more than the ocean and birds to listen to.
Perfect experience along the shore watching the lobster boats come in and out of the bay from the deck.. Then just head out to the street and walk about 4 houses down to be on the beach/ocean. The community is quiet, yet restaurants easy to walk to, and Old Orchard just 2 miles away if you need some night life. The property is well kept. The owner had recommendations about bringing some items, and we suggest you follow them. The owner was fantastic, met us with keys, and gave us lots of good tips to enjoy the house, the bay, and the communities we planned to visit. 100% would stay here again.
