About this house rental

Escaping to Valhalla by the Sea is like escaping to a simpler time, an experience not marked by time, but by your spiritual awakening on Peaks Island. From the moment you land on the island, you become a different person, the island has the power to transform and heal.

Welcome to Valhalla by the Sea on Peaks Island. Sip lemonade on the spacious front porch during those beautiful summer days, or hot chocolate as you enjoy the fall colors snuggled under a blanket enjoying the crisp fall air. Enjoy the ocean breezes that naturally cool the house, or the warm fireplace when the weather starts to turn. Whether you are looking for a place to have a family gathering with children or a romantic stay with your significant other, this house is perfect for your stay.

Valhalla has been described as "perfectly imperfect". It is a house with over 100 years of history that has been updated and remodeled multiple times during its existence. This three bedroom 2 bath year-round house has remarkable white water ocean views and all of the amenities you could want for a comfortable and memorable stay. The local decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for your stay. The house is not designed to be stuffy, but relaxing. Walk around barefoot, enjoy your coffee on the porch, grill that perfect dinner and let us sweep away the sand that your kids bring in.

This was a nice house located near enough to the town to walk. It was a typical beach house with a well stocked kitchen. It had a great view from the front porch of the ocean and was in a beautiful neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay and would go back.

After staying at “Valhalla by the Sea” for three nights, our recommendation to prospective visitors can only be to look elsewhere, particularly for how expensive this place is. At this price point, you can stay at a nice hotel or a much nicer VRBO. Of course, what’s “worth it” is a matter of personal preference. You might find “Valhalla” perfectly delightful if you enjoy beds that make you feel like you’re sleeping on a felled tree, or finding on the side of the kitchen sink a hefty trail of grime that if given only an extra week would begin talking to you. What made this a poor VRBO experience was feeling like we had gotten royally swindled by what we received for the cost, which in retrospect was outrageous. Also, the host never replied to our messages we sent while at the property. We will not return to "Valhalla".

The quaint beach house was the ideal location for enjoying the island for a few days and make some family memories! My favorite spot was sitting in the chair in the dining room, because the breeze was so nice, and I had a view of the ocean and lighthouse. It was nice to have two bathrooms for the group we had with us. The property had bikes for us to use, beach towels, and kitchen necessities. It was nice to have the living room and the smaller library area so we could both hang out as a big group, and have another place besides bedrooms to split off. The beds were not very comfortable, which was the only complaint we had while staying. Overall, it was a lovely stay, and the property manager was very quick to respond the whole time we were there, and leading up to our trip as well. P.S. For any families with babies/toddlers, bring a sound machine! The floors are very creaky, since it's an older house, but putting the air conditioner in the room my toddler napped in really helped him fall asleep, since it was pretty loud and drowned a lot of the noise out!

We came to Peaks Island to celebrate a birthday and enjoy the serenity of the island and explore the city. We got the best of both worlds. Patty from Peaks Island taxi was splendid and informative and ensured we got to and fro when needed. The house had all comforts needed, the wood stove kept us cozy, and an over all great time. Thank you!

Lovely spot to host a group of friends who hadn’t seen each other in years. 7 adults is a bit of a tight squeeze but doable! Location couldn’t be beat.

This ocean view vacation home is an older building which has been lovingly outfitted for guests. If you are looking for slick and glitzy look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a classic, quaint seaside getaway just a few minutes walk to the open ocean, with many nice decorative touches and modern kitchen appliances, you will be very happy here.
