This place was terrific, and the host was wonderful and very good at communication. We love the location and it was a really nice area with a beautiful view of the ocean. Nice size kitchen and decks in front to sit out on. It was really wonderful and we would like to come back there again. The host was very accommodating and there was a lot of amenities that were helpful like bike and things like that.

Awesome cottage

Casaga cottage is a wonderful place to stay. We really only needed a place to stay and relax for a week and this place gave us that and much more. The owners keep the place up meticulously and with very hard art making the experience an excellent one! Thanks again for a wonderful time!

Really great place!

We really enjoyed our stay at Cagasa Cottage. The location, close to both the 8 th & 5th Maine, was perfect - very quiet, but only about a 15 minutes or less walk to the ferry. The house is really beautiful and all the furniture extremely comfortable. The kitchen was very well appointed, and the drawers and cabinets were thoughtfully labeled to make finding utensils, etc, easy. While we didn’t need the advantages of the accessibility, these features are thoughtful and would make a stay pleasant for someone with mobility concerns. I wouldn’t change a thing and would not hesitate to rent here again.

Cute comfy cottage

Wonderful experience, made some amazing memories with friends and family. The house was spacious and comfortable. Only caveat was that we did not feel comfortable using the upstairs shower as we were warned it leaks and may cause water damage. Fortunately it was no trouble sharing the downstairs shower. We noticed some mold/ mildew in both showers but I supposed this is typical of all beach/island properties. We rolled with it. Overall, it was a memorable week we did not want to end!

Just wanted to say we took this to heart and completely redid that upstairs bathroom in the Fall of '23. Now it's gorgeous, bright, clean, and no more leaks!

Comfortable and great location

Wendy was a great, responsive host. The location of the house was close enough to village restaurants and stores, but provided plenty of privacy. The kitchen was more than adequate for preparing meals - with the dining room table located right next to large window with a water view. Morning coffee on the side porch with a view of the bay was a favorite spot. There was easy, close access to Seashore Avenue. We brought our two dogs who must have had a good a time as we did. Note: There was a heat spell in the Portland area the day we arrived. The room air conditioner for the downstairs main bedroom provided much needed relief. It didn't take long to feel like home. We will definitely be back.

Our stay on Peaks Island

Great property which has everything you need. Clearly marked directions to the property and anything that you might want or need was in the house. I am mobility impaired and the ramp and the first floor bathroom with a walkin shower made the stay very enjoyable. We would recommend to anyone who wants a great stay with a great view

Multi generational trip

Casaga was a perfect choice for our family, which aged from ages 20-90. My 90 year old mother was very happy in the first floor bedroom with her own bathroom. The view of the water every day was so appreciated and the location was an easy cab ride for my mom to the ferry, or walk for the rest of the group. We also loved getting up every morning and taking a quick walk to the Backshore. Wendy was very easy to communicate with and we enjoyed all the amenities. She even left us a beautiful welcome bouquet of flowers from her garden and a lovely bottle of wine.

Cozy cottage

Cagasa cottage was a great spot for anyone who has a disabled person in their party--it has a ramp, first floor bedroom and accessible bathroom. It's a cozy house with everything you would need. For the kids, the 'Harry Potter room' under the stairs was really special. The only thing I found wanting (and I'm being picky here) was that there wasn't an easy interface between indoor and outdoor areas--to get the the little back deck you have to go through a bedroom, and to get to the yard you have to go all the way around the house. But all in all, a wonderful place!

Fantastic Stay On Peaks

Wendy and her family have created a perfect home away from home environment. There are labels, signs and tips posted everywhere in the house to help you settle in quickly. The house is clearly lovingly cared for and is both comfortable and well supplied. The location is fabulous! A quick walk up from the ferry but just far enough toward the back side of the island to feel friendly yet quiet. There are constant light breezes floating through the house that keep it cool and fresh feeling all the time. We were a group of six. We all felt there was ample room for group hang out space as well as multiple options for quiet reading. One evening we had friends over for dinner and even with expanding to 12 people it all worked out perfectly. Everyone in our family loved staying at Cagasa Cottage.

Beautiful

The home was great for our stay. The owners left the place sparkling clean before we arrived. The home was very comfortable and airy. It had a great view of the back shore and the yard in front to play in. There was an issue with a sink leaking and the dishwasher but Wendy had the plumber there the next day and it was fixed. We loved every minute... thank you!

Great house, great location

We stayed for a week in this adorable house and it perfectly matches the simple, inviting character of Peaks Island. We were just a family of four (plus our dog), but easily could have fit six or seven. Wendy and Ben were very responsive and accessible owners and everything in the home was exactly as they described. It isn't centrally located on the island, but is right in the middle of everything you'd want to do as a vacationer - short walking distance to both rocky and sandy beaches, all the shops and restaurants, and the ferry. We would absolutely stay here again on our next visit, and would recommend Cagasa Cottage to anyone looking to rent a cool place from good people.
