About this property

Classic turn of the century Maine cottage

Come experience Maine island living in this beautifully preserved turn of the century home. Libby Cottage is located in a quiet section of Peaks Island with a wraparound porch overlooking sunset views. You'll find an abundance of charm here with enough modern conveniences to ensure a relaxing and rejuvenating visit that you won't want to end. Libby Cottage has everything you need for an enjoyable stay - linens, plenty of warm blankets, towels, a washer/dryer, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor shower, a large yard, and a large wrap around porch with hammocks, plenty of seating and table/chairs.

Leave the house and turn left to a boat club with tennis courts and beach or turn right for a walk along open ocean and rocks. Both just a few minutes walk away! There's much to explore on this island by foot or by bike and if you've never been to Peaks Island before, you will quickly realize this is a place to visit over and over again. The ferry landing in town is just 1.2 miles away where there are several restaurants, a well stocked grocery store, an ice cream shop, bike rental, a library and many summer activities.

Ferries to and from Portland run hourly throughout the day and late into the night. Portland is a city of great restaurants, museums, shopping, parks and nightlife all within an easy walk from the ferry terminal.

We bought our home on Peaks Island 12 years ago and loved it enough to move here full time when we retired in 2017. We bought this rental property 4 years ago knowing it would make a wonderful place for family and friends to enjoy the island and each other. We think the cottage is homey, comfortable and inviting and we hope you will enjoy your stay here!
