Great place

Very clean and cute cottage in a nice location ... they have a fantastic heat pump that kept the place comfortable and cool. 10 minute walk to downtown, and close to Centennial beach.

Lovely Cozy Cottage

Small spaces but very nice. If you’re out and about most of the time, the place is just right. Very nice owners right next door. No TV which actually was very relaxing. Got tons of reading done. High LR ceiling too which made it feel more spacious. Wouldn’t recommend for more than 3 to 4 tops.

Adorable cottage - just as depicted!

I'd like to rank this with one star to keep others away, but of course, I can't! The cottage was just as Kristin described it online. Adorable, an easy walk or bike ride to the beach and businesses, private, and just what we wanted. We are a family of 4 - the two adults fit perfectly in the small bedroom and two teenagers had more than enough space on the sleeping porch. Even one more kid would have fit on there. We walked and biked everywhere. Took they ferry one day into downtown Portland where we walked all over. Throughly enjoyed the Standard Baking Co. and were sad that we chose the day Duck Fat was closed. Rarely moved our vehicle (only one morning to catch the sunrise). We cooked most of our meals but also enjoyed the island restaurants. Got surprise fireworks on the 2nd of July. It was a perfect vacation for us. If you're looking for a busy, bustling vacation, Peaks is probably not the spot for you. But if you're looking for laid back, easy going, you'd love it there. Kristin and Rob were wonderful hosts - they live in the front house with their family. They offered great suggestions, checked on us, but let us be (when desired). I'd definitely recommend their adorable cottage. We'd love to stay there again!
