Ocean Front: Panoramic vistas of islands, lighthouses, wildlife & yachts from the house or from the shore. Watch windjammers, cruise boats, sail boats, lobster boats, and the occasional naval warship. Whatever the weather, it's a great place to unwind. On a hot summer day the tranquility is serene but when a good storm blows up the surf will really crash on the ledges in front of the house. There is very little about this house that is modern.
Built in 1900, Camp 34 possesses the character of a true summer cottage. The walls are open to the outside sheathing. In the living room/dining room the walls & ceiling have been marvelously varnished. This also applies to the downstairs bedroom & the kitchen. Naturally the living room has a cozy fireplace & for the really chilly days there is baseboard heat. Also on the first floor is a bath with shower. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bath with tub & a room too small for anything ( I slept in it when I was 5). All told there are two full beds, one upstairs & one down, and three twin beds so that a total of 7 people may be accommodated. The kitchen is very large with a range, new refrigerator, as of 2002, a microwave, plenty of pots & pans & china. It was remodeled in 1974 & includes a small office nook. There is no dish washer or garbage disposal. The dining table has leaves with seating for nine. There is no clothes washer but there is a high tech clothes line off the back porch for drying swimming suits etc. It utilizes sun & wind power. The front porch is very spacious & is great for lunch on days too hot to picnic on the shore, and for cocktails in the evening. Across the town road is a large private shore lot with trees, a grassy terrace, a sand terrace & lots of ledges great for picnics or sunbathing. Swimming is not recommended from the rocks but you can put in your kayak. Parking is available for two cars. Odds & ends: a charcoal grill. There is a TV & TV/VCR ( you can rent movies in town) but no cable (who needs it: you're on Ocean Point). Yes: that is a real cannon on the porch!
The summer residences on Ocean Point date back to about 1870. The community amenities include a "Casino" (no gambling included) with three tennis courts (fees extra), a ball field with Sunday softball game after church. A non denominational chapel, a town dock, a somewhat rocky beach. Shore Road, on which Camp 34 is located, runs the perimeter of Ocean Point & is great for walking & viewing sunsets. You can also walk to the restaurant at the Ocean Point Inn if you don't want to cook. Boothbay Harbor bustles in the summer season with many shops & restaurants: there is plenty to do including some interesting boat excursions to the outer islands & Monhegan.
Rent does not include house cleaning or trash removal. You will be responsible for leaving the cottage in a clean state. (As clean as when you arrived). You will also provide your own linens, towels & bath mats.
