Perfect for a family reunion!

Peekytoe Cottage was absolutely perfect for our Thanksgiving family reunion! The location is to die for, the carriage house was ideal for the teenage cousins to have their own space, and the kitchen was the best-appointed one I’ve ever seen in a rental. Also appreciated was the first floor bedrooms for folks who needed to avoid stairs. We had a wonderful time!

Wonderful!

We could not have asked for a better place to introduce my husbands side of the family to Maine. Great location, we loved the view and loved being able to hear the waves from most of the rooms in the house. We loved sitting on the beach, sharing meals at the big table, and spending evenings by the fire pit. The host was great as well, any questions were answered right away, fastest response from any VRBO host we’ve ever had. We hope to stay again, highly recommend!

Another Wonderful Stay!

We just returned from our second stay at this beautiful ocean house, and it was just as fantastic as we remembered! The views are breathtaking, and the house is perfectly equipped for family gatherings. We enjoyed the beach, cozy evenings by the fire, and exploring the nearby sights. The location is ideal, providing both tranquility and access to local attractions. The property manager was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to return next year for another memorable Columbus Day weekend! Highly recommend!

Amazing Location and An Overall Nice Place

We stayed here with 10 children and 8 adults and never felt cramped. The yard and the proximity to the beach are what made our stay. Plenty of room for the kids to play and it was about 40-50 feet to get to get to the ocean.

Accommodations were perfect for our need!

Meeting the needs of seventeen adults & children is a tall order but Peekytoe Cottage did just that! The layout, spaciousness, cleanliness and fully stocked kitchen were ideal. The property manager, Nick, was very responsive during our stay as we reached out with clarifying questions. We were very happy with all aspects of our stay!

Great place!

The house and carriage house were both in good shape and are amazingly located! The property has a small beachfront and has access to the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the great weather we had. Wish it provided linens and towels, but outside of that highly recommend. Nick was also very easy to coordinate with.

Large family vacation

The house was great for us. We utilized every bedroom and sleeping space. The view and the sound of the ocean was awesome. The beach was mostly quiet and we had many fires in the fire pit. The kitchen was well equipped. The two double beds on the second floor were a little challenging because you had to walk through to get to the third floor and we kept waking people up but we got around it.

Amazing Beach house

We loved this house!!! Views of the ocean, sun set, moon rise, fire pit and good times. Good views from the bedrooms. It was a great place to stay and enjoy time together. I wish they provided sheets, pillow cases and towels. Would be willing to pay more for this convenience.
