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.

Step back in time

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!

Six week stay - vacation and remote work

Six week stay - vacation and remote work

We had the pleasure of enjoying Libby Cottage for 6 weeks. It was a combination of some vacation and virtual work. The wifi was outstanding; we had as many as 3 adults working virtually at the same time with no slowness at all. The cottage was comfortable even with 6 adults staying there at one time. Paula was fantastic and was very helpful and responsive. The location is really ideal; with waster views, sunsets, a large porch and yard. I highly recommend Libby Cottage.

Peaks Island Perfect

Loved the vintage feel for the cottage, perfect location. We could see the bay from the great porch. Lovely garden out front, easy access to all the island by bike or car and the ferry worked out perfectly. The house was clean and the yard was great for the little ones.

It is functional with a beautiful porch and everything you need for an amazing week. The host is very helpful with easy and quick communications. Location is great— away from ferry dock but a short cart drive to center of town. We had a great stay.

Charming getaway with magical porch

Charming getaway with magical porch

We couldn't have asked for a better home/property to unwind with our three little kids for the week. The beds are comfortable, the porch is the perfect place to relax, and the house is only a short walk from a quiet little beach with the most amazing sunsets. A wonderful place to explore the beauty of Peaks Island.

Perfect Peaks Island getaway

Perfect Peaks Island getaway

This house was exactly what we were hoping for for a long weekend on Peak's Island. We were a group of 6 friends and the place was a perfect size for us. The beds were very comfortable (which believe me, is hard to come by in a lot of older houses) and the bedrooms all were so cozy and well designed. The house is in great condition while still maintaining it's classic Maine charm. When you think of a cottage in Maine, this is what you're hoping for. The hosts so really helpful, they live right down the street so they were available whenever we had questions. Paula even baked us some fresh bread for our arrival! I would 100% recommend staying here. We're planning on coming back next year already.

Paula and Steve are great hosts! 8 of us booked the cottage for a long weekend with friends, and had a wonderful time. The cottage is spacious, with all the necessary accommodations. It's a close walk to the beach, has a backyard for lawn games and a great porch for enjoying coffee at sunrise and wine at sunset. Peaks Island is gorgeous, and this was the perfect place to stay. Highly recommended!
