About this property

Large, light filled 4 bedroom house - walk to ocean and ferry

Heron's Perch on Peaks' Island has space to hold everyone and cozy spots to curl up on your own. Just steps to the market and ice cream shop and a short bike ride to the open ocean on the back shore. Beautiful porch to enjoy morning coffee and light filled rooms. There are four bedrooms and a full bath upstairs with a total of 4 queen beds, 1 double beds and 1 twin bed. One bedroom has a desk. Heron's Perch was built in 1867 and the stairs to the second floor are steeper than modern stairs. There is a sleeping area with a comfortable foldout futon and desk on the first floor off the sitting room and a 3/4 bath downstairs. Plenty of room to relax in the two living rooms, front porch, back deck and large lawn with picnic table, chairs and fire pit. Peaks' Island has everything to make wonderful memories and rest and restore. We are in a residential neighborhood and for this reason quiet hours are mandatory from 10PM-7AM.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Lily Perkins

Host profile image
We love to travel, have four kids, and love to get family and friends together. We live in Massachusetts and come to Maine as often as we can to visit family. We hope Heron's Perch can be a place for you and yours to relax, take in the beauty of the ocean and make memories together.

Why they chose this property

My aunt moved to Peaks' Island when I was a kid and it became a place of magic, a place where I could have the freedom to ride my bike anywhere, make new friends and bring my own children. We bought Heron's Perch as a place to gather our family and have a piece of the Island to call our own.

What makes this property unique

We love the light and spaciousness of Heron's Perch. Our absolute favorite thing to do is sit on the front porch and enjoy the sun. Heron's Perch is walking distance to the ferry, the market and a bike or golf cart ride to the back shore. Rent bikes for the kids and watch them come home beaming with adventures to talk about. While there are many things to enjoy about the island, it is also a 20 minute ferry ride to the very walkable Old Port of Portland, Maine, where there are an amazing array of restaurants, shops and art galleries.
