Absolutely perfect!!!
The cottage is in a great location … quiet yet within walking distance of restaurants and ferry pier. Kitchen had all the necessary tools for meals. Downstairs bedrooms were tight but adequate. We didn’t use the spacious loft. We had great communication with owner. Would stay again if in the Portland area.
Another fabulous (3rd, I think!) week at this lovely island home! Everything was perfect, as always. Thanks!
This house was perfect for our family of four!
We had a wonderful week on Peaks despite the rain and the fog. The cottage is nestled on a quiet street surrounded by friendly neighbors. Although we don't have young children, the loft would be a wonderful room for them to play in on rainy days. The kitchen/living room combination with large windows offered a beautiful view and a cool breeze off the water. The kitchen had everything we needed except a lobster pot. (This we borrowed from a kind neighbor!) During our stay, we took a short walk down the road to observe the workers trying to load a beached, dead whale onto a truck. This was big excitement on the Island! Thank you to Meghan and her family for sharing their beautiful home with us! What a treat!
The property is a short walk to ferry and town and has all the comforts of home. Wonderful stay and looking forward to next year!
On Peaks for a family wedding. This bright and cheery property is in an ideal location, secluded enough for the privacy we wanted, yet close enough to town and the ferry to Portland. Thrilled to use a pristinely clean bbq grill our first night, and enjoyed the spacious deck each day. The main floor and seating area was the perfect size for the five of us to all hang together, and although there is only a single bathroom, it was very spacious and manageable. We appreciated all the paper goods and clean, working appliances/kitchenware. There were even the makings for s’mores which was a very nice touch, but we didn’t have the time this visit to enjoy. Thin Towels and sheets left a little to be desired. Had to make all beds up upon arrival which is a first for me in a rental, and then the downstairs bedroom sheets had stains and musty smell so I had to rewash them first. Also, even though the description says there are queen beds, they are more like doubles, and the smallest bedroom was more like a closet with a broken bed frame and shade. Overall, these things we consider to be minor inconveniences and did not deter us from a pleasant stay and wonderful family time, so thank you. We rated this property a 4 out of 5 because with a few minor fixes, this home would be perfect.
We enjoyed staying here.
We had a lovely time. Our stay was better than expected- quiet, peaceful, spacious and moments from everything. We will definitely come back. Thank you for sharing your home.
Our rental was a new modern house with everything we needed and a good location for getting around the island. The owner met us and answered our questions. We would definitely recommend this property - it’s great for a family with children.
My extended family and I have been coming to Peaks Island for a few years now and we found this house last summer. From here on out it’ll be where we choose to stay! Everything you need is there, beds are comfy, plenty of blankets, linens, towels. Kitchen is nicely updated and the living area is very comfy. Lots of big beautiful windows to enjoy the partial view of the water and let the sea breeze in. The outdoor shower is amazing. We had 8 of us including my two kids and we felt we had plenty of space. My kids love the swing and all the games and activities to play with during our downtime. We enjoyed lots of leisurely walks down to the rocky water to feed the gulls and find crabs. Check in and check out were both extremely simple. Thanks for having us and letting us enjoy your beautiful home!
Excellent Peaks house. Could use some updated kitchen ware and it was end of season so could have been cleaner, but no big deal it worked great for our needs. Provided nice space for guests to visit over a wedding weekend. Nice and private up on the knoll even tho many neighbors. Wi-Fi went out for two days when it rained which was a bummer, that whole side of island was out. Loved the deck, used a lot. Overall a very nice unit for time on the island!
This was our first (but definitely not last!) stay at Meghan's lovely home on Peak's Island. The location is terrific with a short walk to the Ferry and shops and an even shorter walk to the scenic ocean. The house had everything our family needed for a relaxing week on the island. Looking forward to next year!
This was my second stay at Meghan's wonderful Peaks Island cottage -- and that's only because its growing reputation as one of the absolute best on the island caused me to miss out last year -- and I was again as pleased as can be!! The house is perfectly located for walks to the ferry, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed long morning bike rides exploring the island followed by boat excursions (great private & reasonably priced Bird's Eye charters, picks up on Peaks) and lazy sunny afternoon lunch and cocktails - personal favorites are The Skeg or Jone's Landing for the best cocktails and casual seating near the water. This cottage has everything that you need in the kitchen, comfy new furniture for rainy-day TV watching, a lovely deck set-up for grilling and dining, a loft with plenty of sleeping space especially perfect for kids and teens! I am already looking forward to my next visit!
The property is in walking distance to ferry and shops. House is in good condition and is great for a family group. Good communications and instructions from host. Would stay here again. Peaks Island is very nice.
We loved staying at this adorable cottage perched on a hill and just a couple of minutes walk to the water. Well appointed and clean with helpful touches like laundry detergent and extra toilet paper made it convenient as well as cute. We appreciated the quick and pleasant communication from the hosts as well as a the fact that we were able to bring our dog. Honestly one of the best VRBO stays we have ever had.
Check in was supposed to be 3pm, couldn't get in until 3:30pm. Immediately noticed a musty/ mildew odor along with a extremely strong odor of urine. The odor was so strong throughout the kitchen and sitting area that we had to open all the windows to try and disperse it. My husband and I had to use an inhaler because the odors were causing us to not breathe well. Also, there was no toilet paper. We had to leave and shop for it. The odors did not dissipate throughout our stay. The home met our needs and we would use the home again if we were guaranteed the odors were dealt with. Guests that came to the house noticed the odors also.
We love Peaks and this was just another perfect spot to enjoy it. Great location and the perfect amount of space!
