    We had a wonderful stay at Libby Cottage! It was so close to the nicest beach & fun sailing/tennis club. We liked being far enough away from the ferry dock that you didn't notice the large number of day trippers coming in from Portland every hour. We had considered not bringing the car over, but it was pouring rain upon arrival so we decided not to try to walk or rent a golf cart. We were glad to have the car - walking for groceries or dinner would have been too far. It was a completely relaxing stay & wonderful experience!

    We had a wonderful time on Peaks Island. Peaks Island is a special place to me as my maternal grandfather’s family was one of the first families to settle on the island. The Libby cottage reminded me of my grandparents house on the island. My grandchildren loved the cottage. They played a lot of ping pong in the spacious yard. The porch was a lovely place to sit and spend time. The host was very nice and came and introduced herself to us. An added feature was sheets and towels were provided. Its a wonderful house to rent for a Peaks Island vacation.

    Libby Cottage is a quintessential, seasonal Maine camp/property situated on the charmed Peaks Island. We loved our time at the cottage, neighborhood, and in/around Portland. We would absolutely recommend a stay here and would love to make a return trip to Peaks at some point in a future summer. As a host, Paula was friendly, accommodating, and very easy to communicate with.

    My husband and I rented Libby Cottage in mid-June and enjoyed every minute! One of our daughters was with us the whole time, one joined with her husband and almost 2 year old son for a few days and another daughter lives in Portland and visited a few days after work and we all enjoyed our time there. The beds are all comfortable, the shower has good pressure and temperature. The kitchen is well supplied. It is a very comfortable, quirky, inviting cottage! The porch is AMAZING, we enjoyed it in the sunshine and in the rain! And the location is perfect for us. Right up the road from the beach and sailing club and we enjoyed walking to the shops and stores in the center as well as biking around the island daily. Paula was easy to reach and really thought of everything in the planning and preparing of the cottage. There was a thunderstorm while we were on the island and she was quick to respond and keep us in the loop re: the WiFi. Great hosts. Great cottage. Great vacation!

    Staying at Libby Cottage was a wonderful experience! The beds were very comfortable, it was easy to get in and out, and Paula had everything we could need if we forgot anything. We enjoyed many coffees and drinks on the porch during our downtime. I would recommend anyone that was coming to Peaks to stay at the cottage and enjoy a little vacation away from the grind, spent on a slow, steady island time!

    Our first delightful surprise was the outdoor ping pong table.! The front porch was a favorite of mine..My 73 yrs. young self fit just right in the net swing .. great for reading, relaxing and meeting dogs and their people walking by the house. very well stocked home from paper to linens and everything thing else you could possibly need. .Highly recommend Libby Cottage life.

    This was the most relaxing, fun, and happy vacation I’ve had in many years, maybe ever!-Plenty of room, vintagy feels and just a little off the beaten path-the sound of birds singing, folks pedaling bikes and a couple of old horses clip-clopping past the wrap-around porch each morning while sipping coffee fed my soul…in a word:Devine !👍🏼We’ll be back to Libby Cottage very soon!
