The cottage was cute/peaceful/ thoughtful. Our only concern/disappointment was the shower. The shower curtain and corners of the shower were filthy - looked like black mold (we did NOT use the shower during our stay). We were not provided the door key code (we made do) and we’re not provided the purple bag for trashagsin, we found one in drawer

Lovely small cottage. Perfect for my quick stay. However there a few things I didn’t understand inside the house and neighbors were a bit noisy…but it was the weekend and I understood.

We were trying to salvage our Maine vacation, which had started off badly. We decided to try to find a place on Peaks Island because we love it there. Due to our absolute panic, we screwed up a few times trying to book and booked several different days (and even years). The owner, Jane, was very patient and, at the end of the process, we were able to enjoy the last 4 nights of our vacation in comfort and peace. This sweet little house was perfect for two people. Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful front porch for sipping tea, reading and waving to the neighbors. Lovely dining area on the back porch. There are close neighbors, but their outdoor spaces faced away from ours so, although we occasionally saw them, none of us were in each others personal vacation space. Lovely neighborhood, a short walk from both the town and the ocean. We were really impressed with this house and will book it again! Thank you, Jane.

This cottage was perfect for us. The heat wave was not unpleasant as the ac cooled wonderfully. Two old bikes took us around the island after air was added to the tires. The bed and home were comfortable.

Kudos to the owner for accommodating us, thanks! We loved the island, enjoyed the hikes and beach scrambling. Cottage is nothing fancy but we aren’t fancy people.

This little cottage is such a comfy place to unwind from every day life!! It is compact and easy to get around in. The back porch is so private and quiet. At night it is so quiet and restful that you get the best night’s sleep.

My boyfriend, and I + our two pups absolutely loved our stay. It was perfect for a long weekend away on the island. We had everything we needed - it was clean, cozy and the front deck was awesome to relax on. We loved that it was on a quiet road and we will certainly visit the cottage again. Highly recommend!

Perfect for the two of us and our dog - charming, fully-equipped house with lovely outdoor spaces to sit and comfortable chairs throughout for reading. The bed was great, ditto the shower, kitchen appliances, etc. We took some wonderful walks on Peaks and enjoyed the quiet. The host is very responsive and kind.

This small cottage was clean, however the pictures do not show the other cottage that is directly behind it. There are only blinds in half the cottage. We felt like we were in a fish bowl with no privacy, especially with the front door not having blinds or a curtain either. It was way too exposed to neighbors and people walking.

This property was listed as sleeping 4. Unfortunately, when we got to the cottage, we discovered that the sleeper sofa was broken. I texted the owner who had her son call us. Her son told us that it had been broken "for awhile" and they were very aware. Instead of doing the kind thing- alerting us ahead of time so we could make alternate housing arrangements- they kept that information to themselves and advised us to simply use the plastic milk crate on the porch to prop up the head of the sleeper sofa. This did not work as an adequate solution as it was not tall enough. My husband and I ended up sleeping on a completely uneven bed. It was the most uncomfortable that we have ever been. Additionally, the floor was gritty and did not appear to have been swept prior to our arrival and the wooden beams on the ceiling had large amounts of dust hanging from them. I should also add that 3 windows in the small living room/kitchen area do not have blinds or curtains- including the one directly beside the sofa- so there is no privacy from the outside when you're sleeping. There were also no pillows for the sleeper sofa. With that said, we let our children sleep on the actual bed which was comfortable. I would not recommend this property and would absolutely never stay there again. It was a waste a money, and we would have stayed elsewhere if we had been given notice of the broken sleeper sofa.

The house is a cute little cottage with a charming front porch with rocking chairs. We stayed there with our almost 3 year old and 6 month old. It was a little bit hard with two young children because the wall to the bedroom is not a full wall, so was difficult to light or sound proof for bedtime. However, we managed. Would be ideal for a couple not needing too many frills but wanting a nice home base from which to explore the island. Was easy to get in and out.

Very nicely appointed small space. As with many Peaks properties, neighbors are very close. The lock on front door a bit confusing...two sets of directions, one for key and one for electronic lock.

Nice place…

Nice place…

Overall this is a great place to stay. Close to the ferry and other places downtown. The property was in great condition, perfect for just the two of us. We were on Island for a wedding so did very little cooking but the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans etc. Towels, washclothes, dish towels were plentiful. Minor issues were there was zero television service of any kind despite the listing. The owner is aware of this and seemed like she wanted to address it. A less than a $100.00 roof antenna would give plenty of local broadcasts along with the NBA finals which we wanted to watch. Other minor thing was the squeaky floors. Most people it wouldn’t bother at all, I am not one of those people. Definitely rent this place if you can, you won’t be disappointed!
