About this property

Charming, Secluded, Island Getaway!

Charming, Secluded, Island Getaway for family and friends!

This Down-front getaway has all the advantages to make your vacation the most relaxing it can be. Anyone looking for a peaceful and quiet retreat while still wanting access to urban amenities will love this place. This home is appealing during Maine’s lovely and relaxing carefree days of summer on an Island.
The house is only a block away from the crashing surf and the ocean breezes tickling your nostrils. The house is a five minute walk from the Casco Bay Ferry, Peaks Island Post Office, the Island’s general store and of course fabulous restaurants on and off the Island in Old Port
The Be Chill Cottage is only a block from the crashing surf. It offers leisurley strolls by the seashore, the salt air and sea roses. This lovely house has a master bedroom with a queen-size bed, a second bedroom with a double-bed and a fold out couch in the main living area. The kitchen has granite counter tops, new appliances and is updated with all the essential kitchen equipment for that perfect meal. Best of all it has the essential lobster pot! The living area is quite spacious and open throughout. It offers internet and cable TV. The front deck perfect to sit out and watch the sunsets. The back deck walks out into the grassy yard that has a gas barbecue, picnic table and Adirondack chairs for those unforgettable evenings on Peaks Island.
There is a warning however! We visited the Island and fell in love with it and the Portland area in general. We ended up moving to Peaks Island. Maybe this will happen to you!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Glenn

Host profile image
We are from Salt Lak City, Utah. Three years ago,we visited Peaks Island for a week and six months later bought a house on the back-shore of the Island. We now live here full time and love every moment of the Island magic. The Wasatch mountains served us well - skiing, hiking, camping, snow-shoeing, fishing. However - the ocean was calling us . So here we are and excited to explore what the Island offers - sailing, swimming, paddle-boarding, kayacking, surfing,, fishing. And just across Casco Bay - the best food on the east coast. We love it here.

Why they chose this property

We bought this as second property, less that a month ago, becuase it was such a wonderful, well-made house and we wanted to invest in Island real estate. Since it is five minutes away from our house on the back-shore - it is a perfect place to have family stay during the summer season because of allergies to our cats. And when family isn't staying there - we will let other people stay theit. We have winter tennants that will rent it nine months of the year. It's a perfect little house for us, our family, our winter tennats and anyone who wants to rent it .

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the property because it had been fully updated inside - wood floors redone, granite counter tops, new appliances and fully furnished with the cutest furniture. And it came with the most gorgeous master bedroom set. We are tempted to take it to our house - but it looks so perfect in the master bedroom with the vaulted ceilings. It also has a sweet back-yard that you can fully relax in with a cup of coffee and enjoy the birds and the ocean.
