Portland, Maine
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!
Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on Peaks Island. Spacious, clean and provided everything needed to enjoy the Island.
This is a perfect spot to stay on Peaks with access to all the beaches and adventures it holds. The house was clean, well appointed with everything we needed, and felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed everyday there and look forward to being back again next year!
We had a great stay at the BeChill cottage on Peaks Island. Hosts made check-in super easy and sent activities for our family to do on island (like the Community Center BBQ which was in a beautiful spot with a live band - so fun for kids). The cottage was super cute, clean, plenty of space for our small family, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plus it's in a great location. We rented a golf cart to get around (because it's just fun to do:) but you could really walk to everything from the cottage, including the beautiful Sandy Beach! Awesome place to stay, we miss it already and can't wait to come back!!! Thank you Gary and Joanie!
I love this peaks island cottage where me and my daughter stayed! The hosts are wonderful through and through. We love staying here for two years in a row. Easy to walk to beach and town.
We had a really nice family weekend away! It was just what we all needed. The cottage was in the perfect location if you want to be able to walk everywhere at the front of the island. Gary was very accommodating and responsive. The only issue was that we didn’t book it for longer! Next time we will be sure to stay longer!
Very nice accommodations. Close to town and beach. Beautiful outdoor shower.
We loved the little cottage—it was a perfect, quiet getaway. Check-in and -out was seamless and the space was exactly what we needed. 10/10 would come back
Everything worked great. Really nice property close to the restaurant and store on the island but still felt away from everything. Only thing... Please raise the showerhead, not made for average height people.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the house on Peaks Island. The hosts were great and it was a close walk for those riding the ferry. If you have elderly people in your group you might catch the taxi by the ferry landing as it’s kind of an uphill walk, but it’s definitely doable as we hauled our luggage up the hill.
We completely enjoyed our week. Everything was as described and the hosts response time was great. The Island is perfect. Easy walk to the beach and Ferry so you can enjoy the quiet and go into Portland if you like.
My husband and I stayed at the cottage, we found the entire island to be lovely, as well as our time in Portland and a day trip we took to New Harbor. We can’t wait to return.
Owners were super responsive and there for us when we needed an extra hand. The house is lovely and spacious for a family of 3! Having the open kitchen and washer/dryer was An added bonus! Hope to go back next year.
My family and I had a wonderful time. We could walk to everything down down front and to some great beaches. A great place to relax for a week. Thanks so much.
My family has stayed on the charming island of Peaks each summer for almost 10 years. This property did not disappoint. It was in a nice quiet location, set back from down front, close to beaches and restaurants/shops...an easy walk or bike ride away to everything. Breezy, comfortable and well equipped to prepare snacks and meals. Would love to stay again in the future!
The decor was very well appointed & cozy. High end furniture and appliances. We were are very comfortable during our stay. We liked that the property was located in a quieter area.
The property was lovely, we had perfect weather, our only issue was communicating through the VRBO app, it wasnt reliably loading new messages on my phone so some messages were delayed but nothing was urgent. the owner also provided a cell phone if something urgent did come up but we did not need it.
We know the island well but had never stayed on this part. It was convenient for ferry access, coffee shops etc. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were lovely and very accommodating. Only a very short walk to the ocean. We would happily stay again!
We loved the vibe of living on an island for a month. We enjoyed taking the ferry to and from Portland, it was a very short walk from the ferry landing to our cottage. Everyone we met were very friendly and helpful to us. We have a dog so spent a lot of time on the beaches and they are beautiful! The check in process was so easy and the owners would always respond immediately to our questions. The house was well stocked, and comfortable. It’s a very sunny location and my husband spent most of his time reading on the back porch. In the afternoon the sun filled the living room where our dog Vinny and I spent most of our time. We loved the proximity to Portland, but especially loved the quiet of being on the island. Definitely a 5 star vacation!
