Quiet and peaceful

We were up for a wedding at Peaks Island in October. A ferry ride over and a very short drive to the unit. It is located on the North East side of the island with beautiful rocky shore views. The unit itself is clean and inviting. Rustic style charm, natural woods, and warm.

Family holiday

I spent summers on Long Island in Casco Bay always dreaming of staying at Peak’s Island to see what all the hype was about… Well, it exceeded my expectations at this location! The communication with the owner, to the comfort of the cottage and view was priceless. We are already planning for next summer 😃

Peaceful, picturesque, playful Peaks Island place

Our family of mom, dad, 2 adult children, their spouses, 2 granddaughters, and a Boston terrier had a week of reconnecting with each other on Peaks Island in this beautiful house. Gino is a great communicator. He gave us details of the workings of the house and property, well ahead of time. The large front porch and quiet path in front of the house were perfect for the "littles" to explore and play, without fear of road traffic. The beds are comfortable and the wonderful windows that are screened and open easily gave us the best part of the trip.....the constant sound of the ocean. The kitchen is updated, well equipped, and clean. The 3 bathrooms, with one on the ground floor, made life easy. The washer and dryer is another great addition to the light, bright, breezy, and quiet home. We took advantage of the stove, oven, gas grill, comfy porch chairs, and large dining table and chairs. We hope to stay here again. We loved our visit.

One of the Best Vacations Spots

Six of us had the great fortune to stay at this beautiful cottage the week of July 15th. The home is very comfortable and was well stocked with all the staples and kitchen equipment we needed. There was a cool breeze every night and there was a fan so sleeping conditions were perfect. The view from the front porch was so magnificent that we spent the majority of our time sitting there and looking out over the ocean. It was the most relaxing vacation I have ever experienced. The only downside is the number of golf carts and people coming down to the lookout spot in front of the cottage. They did not bother us in the least, but you should expect this. I would definitely consider staying here again and highly recommend it to others.
