About this cottage rental

Cindy's Place is a hidden gem located on the rocky shoreline of Peaks Island overlooking the Casco Bay and the Portland skyline, House Island, and Fort Gorges. The property is located a quarter mile from the passenger ferry, the Inn on Peaks, the Downfront ice cream shop, and two restaurants. Within a half mile is the Post Office, Hannigan's Market, a third restaurant, and other Island businesses, including outfitters for renting bikes, golf carts, kayaks, and paddleboards. On the property you will find the Main Cottage located 12 feet from the water; the Captain's Quarters, a separate cottage with 2 bedrooms, a large sleeping loft, and a full bathroom and kitchenette; two patios with tables, chairs, and umbrellas overlooking the water; access to the rocky shoreline; and a beautifully landscaped yard. The Main Cottage was fully renovated in 2015 and includes a full kitchen, a full bath upstairs, a main-level half bath, a laundry area, a coffee and wine bar, and an airy open-concept main level. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, each featuring a queen bed, chest of drawers, and television, and 1 bedroom containing a twin over full bunk bed with storage drawers underneath. Each of the queen bedrooms has access to a large furnished deck overlooking Casco Bay. The Captain's Quarters is an open-concept space with a kitchenette (including a sink, refrigerator, and Keurig coffee machine), a full bath, one queen bedroom, one king bedroom, and a sleeping loft with two queen beds.
The Island offers an array of activities, from walking or jogging the three-mile seashore perimeter to biking, kayaking, paddle boarding and sailing to visiting the historic Fifth Maine Regiment Museum. If your plans include the mainland, the restaurants, shops, tour operators and landmarks of Portland's lively waterfront district are only a 15 minute ferry ride away.
Casco Bay Lines operates passenger and car ferries all day from Monday through Sunday, along with narrated tours of the Bay and it's Islands. Visit for more information on the ferry schedule.
All Cindy's Place rentals include the Captain's Quarters unless otherwise stipulated. The rental price will not be adjusted for groups who choose not to use the Captain's Quarters.

What a fantastic property for an extended family, 70yo grands, 2 couples, 7, 8, 9 yo kids. 2 houses made it easy to have get-away space, plus a place to gather and cook together. Beautiful views with constantly changing bay. Kids especially loved exploring the adjacent beach during low tide. Everyone was able to climb down to it. Nice short walk into town. Everyone said they wished we had a second week. Things to know: live, loud, band in town Saturday til 10:30 and Sunday til 8. Not terrible but glad it wasn’t 6 days. After that it was a very quiet and peaceful location. A sloped hill leads from parking lot to main house but there is a little red wagon to load and pull your stuff. The main house was comfortable for 2 couples and one kid. The 3rd bedroom is small and would be tight for a couple. Owner is very responsive with info and addressing issues. We all wished for more time here.

We celebrated our wedding on Peaks Island Inn and the house was perfectly located for us. We were able to walk into town. Our friends and family could stop by and sit by the water. Could’ve been better!

We were up for our son's wedding in October at Peaks Island Inn. This was the absolute perfect VRBO rental for the occasion. Plenty of open concept room with beautiful views out over the bay. The outdoor decks are inviting and comfortable, the indoor spaces are warm and open. Distance to the Inn is about 1/4 mile, so an easy walk for those that wish, but there is also plenty of parking at both the inn and the VRBO if needed. Kitchen is well stocked, bathrooms are clean, washer and dryer on premise. We had plenty of wedding guests on the Island, many of whom came over for "day after" wedding brunch. I guess that is when you realize you have the nicest VRBO on the island... because everyone at a different place says so when they visit :) You will not go wrong with this VRBO, and if you are trying to figure which one to rent, this is it. The pictures on line are nice, the actual experience is better. Some VRBO's post nice pictures, and when you get there the unit does not hold up to the online presentation. This is the opposite, even better than you anticipate. Owner is very nice, receptive to all questions, and clearly takes great pride in both the home and your positive experience.

This was a great property for our group. The views from the house are stunning and the whole property is very well maintained. We appreciated the comfortable seating in both houses and the beds were also comfortable. The location is easily walkable from the ferry. We had no need for a car while there. A few quirks—none of the bedrooms in the main house have closets or any place for hanging clothes so pack accordingly. Check in/out instructions were a bit more arduous than what is typical, You do have to make the beds when you arrive and they ask that you wash and dry sheets, towels if possible. We did the best we could. Overall a wonderful property.

We were guests at a wedding at the TEIA and it was so great to stay on Island. We had our own parking spot at the house and still room for our rented golf carts. Location was fantastic to ferry and only a 10 minute golf cart cruise to venue. Views were amazing from both houses and we had plenty of room to gather. Greg was very accessible and responsive to all our questions. Cindy's place is a very special place and I'm already trying to figure out when we can return.

The location is amazing. Views in every direction, sailboats passing by and keeping time with the ferry. Quiet, peaceful, but a quick walk to town. This property is ideal for a family group. We had the grownup’s house and the parents and kid’s house. Plenty of room for gathering and sunset meals by the water. Remarkably well appointed with everything from toys for the beach to a futuristic toaster! Very comfortable and thoughtfully designed. We were there for a wedding right next door at the Lion’s Club so couldn’t have been better. Thank you, Greg!
