We were only there for two nights and wished we had time to stay longer. The weather was pretty bad and we still had a fantastic time, which is testament to the property. We could walk into "town" and the ferry into Portland. Right on the beach, and incredibly cute, the quintessential beach house. highly recommended.

This was the perfect place for a few days after our wedding. The weather was great and we were able to enjoy the whole island, utilizing the private beach, golf cart, and crab pot (caught just one and threw him back!). And our dogs may have enjoyed the place more than us, great yard to run around, plenty of swimming steps away from our front door, and sunset cruise on the golf cart.

We had a lovely stay at this cottage on the beach. It is a beautiful location and when the tide is in, it feels like you are on a boat (in a good way!). We loved the fenced yard so our dog could run around. Peaks Island is great and we really appreciated the owner's hospitality. The house doesn't have wifi and that caused some problems for us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay! Near Other Rentals, will see neighbors
The location was perfect and the setup outside the house was great. Enjoyed taking the golf cart around the island for breakfast and site seeing. The inside of the cabin was very clean and came with everything we needed. The fireplace, swings, and balcony were adorable. The only downfall is the ferry ride over to the island is a little pricey-but worth the trip!

A very special place
This is the sweetest little home filled with so many thoughtful details. It is clearly a home built with a filled with a lot of love and attention. We feel lucky to have stayed here, literally on the water. The only thing it needs is maybe a latch on the interior of the sweetest, turquoise, screen door, to keep it from blowing open in the wind. We rigged up a dog leash and made it work. A very small detail! Also, when we go back, we won’t forget binoculars…there is so much to see!

What vacation is all about!
If starting the morning with our coffee in the Adirondack chairs watching the tide coming in or having a night cap on the perfectly sized rooftop terrace & listen to the tiny waves curling up to the sea wall, it couldn't be anymore peaceful.
The house shows love in the details, has everything you need. We slept like babies upstairs on the comfortable mattress & the cooled down, no AC needed.
A special bonus feature was access to our own golf cart, exploring the island, even our lab enjoyed the ride.
One if the best vacations we had in years.

Quiet retreat
This was a great spot for a quiet weekend away! Perfect for two people, it’s a small place but plenty of places to curl up and read a book or watch the water! We will be back!

Wonderful Water House
Colorful, clean, charming seaside cottage was the perfect amount of ‘off-the-grid’ living we needed for a long weekend. The home had a lil bit of everything you might need, we brought our own food/drink but also enjoyed the short walk to the market for fresh foods. We enjoyed the club car ride around the island as it was a bit rainy on our weekend to ride a bike. Now that we have the hang of taking the ferry across, we are already planning to come back to Water House on Peaks Island. Thank you for sharing your treasure with us! It was a relaxing and special 24th honeymoon for us.

This place was perfect for our Covid friendly mini honeymoon. This place is even better than presented in photos. We enjoyed our stay!

Insane location and a perfect respite!
This property is perfect. It’s near several other houses but feels secluded. The decor is just beachy enough without being overboard. The view and proximity to water is indescribable. Falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean waves is amazing!
Ann was the most thoughtful host I have encountered in any online bookings. Thanks for being so thoughtful and accommodating!

Excellent Maine cottage
We had a fantastic stay. The island is incredible and this house has probably one of the best views/locations. The house is extremely charming and well designed. Having the golf cart as part of the house was extremely helpful as we explored the island. Absolutely would recommend to anyone considering staying here - we will definitely be booking again.

Clean, Quiet Spot
Beautiful spot. From inside, your eye is immediately taken to the water. Felt like being on a boat, an impression made all the more impactful by the cottage’s upscale ship motif (portholes, etc). Gorgeous bathroom. Having the golf cart was added bonus. And finally, Ann was a pleasure to communicate with. Thank you. We enjoyed our first — and surely not last — trip to PI.

Great location!
We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It is such a unique property that is right on the water. The yard is super cute and it was great having access to a club cart to take around the island.

Relaxing AF
My partner and I spent five days here and it was perfect. The house is a gem. Sits right on the water, with a great little yard overlooking the bay. Inside, every detail is thought through. This is the place you’ve been looking for — turn off your notifications and relax.

Great first trip to Peaks Island
This property was great for a getaway to Peaks Island. Easy to get to, easy to park your car & then have the convenience of the golf cart to explore the island. Everything was very clean & exactly as advertised. The location can't be beat, we were able to enjoy the beach anytime we pleased since it was right out the front door. We will definitely be back to visit again!

Great place to kick back, relax and enjoy the Sea
This is a wonderful property. We came with our two small dogs. The fenced in yard was perfect for keeping the door open and letting the breeze come through.
Everything about the Water House is fantastic. Such a magical place!

Magnificent Views
I don't even know where to begin. This property is stunning. We needed a place to get away for the weekend that we could also bring our senior German Shepherd. We are the primary care takers for my Gram who has dementia and only had someone to watch her a few days otherwise we would have booked a whole week.
The fenced in yard was perfect. Not that we would ever leave our dog unattended in a yard, but it was just nice to be able to have him unleashed while we were outside. There was a cute chimenea so we were able to have a small fire. The swing on the porch was so relaxing. The loft bedroom was perfect. Nothing like waking up to views of the ocean! The deck off the bedroom was also awesome. Now let's talk about the bathroom!! So cute! And the floor is radiant heat so it was warm to walk on. The shower is a double shower, the water pressure was phenomenal and we never ran out of hot water.
The property manager was great as she always got back to us if we had any questions.
The club car was very handy and we used it to tour around the island as well as to go grab food at the great restaurants which are not too far from the house.
Thanks for a great stay. We hope to someday return.

Amazing little house on Peaks Island
Overall, we are more than satisfied with our experience. However, a few things were missing to make our stay perfect. Indeed, there was no toaster, WiFi and pladdle for the paddleboard.

Dream Vacation
My husband and I stayed here with our dog during our wedding weekend- which seems like a popular thing to do! The reason must be because this is a dream house. The quirky decor (there's a play swing in the living room!), cosy interior, fireplace, concrete kitchen sink, white picket fence, green grass... SO perfect! The bedroom upstairs is also beautiful. The bed and pillows are extremely comfy with high quality sheets and the view to our own little upstairs porch let in the sunrises and sunsets quite nicely. It was always fun to see the water level change with the tide coming in and out. Sometimes we could walk our dog on the beach and far out into the ocean, and sometimes the water would come right up to the wall of our house! I still think about this place and I cannot wait to return.
