Very comfortable house with a great location. We did not cook much, but it looked like it was well-stocked in terms of cooking utensils, bowls, etc. Furnishings were casual and comfortable. I especially appreciated that there wasn't a multi-page list of instructions for staying and for checking out.

Lovely little house in quiet neighborhood

The house has everything you need for a week stay. It is a short walk to the ocean, and everything you need is in town, a short walk/drive away.

Great stay

The house was perfect for our needs! The spacious loft was great for four teen boys, the beach was a very short walk just down the road, and the back deck and hammock were great for relaxing in the afternoons. Communication with host Megan was easy. Would recommend!

The peace of Maine

We loved staying at this adorable cottage perched on a hill and just a couple of minutes walk to the water. Well appointed and clean with helpful touches like laundry detergent and extra toilet paper made it convenient as well as cute. We appreciated the quick and pleasant communication from the hosts as well as a the fact that we were able to bring our dog. Honestly one of the best VRBO stays we have ever had.

Peaks Wedding Weekend

Recently stay at this cottage for the wedding of one of my oldest friend’s children. The family has lived on Peaks for 20 years, so I am very familiar with the island. This cottage was ideally situated and outfitted to serve as our base for the weekend. Comfortable and clean and close to everything. Owners were friendly and great to work with. Highly recommend the cottage.

Cottage on Peaks Island

The cottage is in a great location … quiet yet within walking distance of restaurants and ferry pier. Kitchen had all the necessary tools for meals. Downstairs bedrooms were tight but adequate. We didn’t use the spacious loft. We had great communication with owner. Would stay again if in the Portland area.

Perfect in every way!

Amazing week! This piece of paradise has everything you could possibly need or want! It’s all in the little things, and this home is filled with so many wonderful little things❤️ Peaks island is a special place, but having a sanctuary to call home for a week makes it even better. Beach fires, pier jumping, lobsters, crashing ocean waves, and scrabble on the deck....need I say more!
