About this house rental
Panoramic Oceanfront and island view direct sunrise. Nature preserves and hiking trail next door and nearby. Away from tourist traffic but convenient to restaurants, sailing club, shopping, etc.
Home was built in 2006. Immaculate with new furniture. Unique home with 36 windows throughout capitalizing on view from nearly every room.
Second floor has master bedroom and bath suite with tub and upstairs sitting area. Incredible views. Queen Sleeper in room downstairs with half bath. Third single bed convertible couch sleeping area. Oceanfront patio with gas grill connected to house propane tank.
Home receives Sebago Bay water from Portland which is excellent during warm weather. Refrigerated water cooler and water supplied. During the Winter/ cold months house is supplied with well water. It is salty and quite good for bathing. Too salty for drinking but entirely safe.
Peaks Island is one of dozens of Island situated in Casco Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the most accessible to Portland and the only one served with the Car Ferry. We believe it is one of the most beautify and definitely the most livable and convenient to Portland. Ferries run from Portland about every hour from approximately 6 a.m. to nearly midnight. There are hourly car ferries 7 days a week. The schedule varies day to day and depending on the month. The Ferry ride is extremely scenic and only 15 minutes on the water.
To reach the home take the car ferry with your vehicle or without. There is a very reliable Taxi service for 3 dollars a person to the house which meets every Ferry. You will have a scenic 2 mile drive to the property around Seashore Drive. Some like to rent a golf cart near the Ferry dock. Bicycles rentals are available near the dock. There are two for your use at the house as well.
The Casco Bay Ferry schedule is always posted on the Internet. Please call us whenever you need logitical or any further information.
Just to note. There are two standard Nest outside security cameras on the property viewing the Ocean conditions and the Street coming in. One is above the front door and the other, the oceanside sliding door. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
From the third week of October through the third week of May the city switches the water to well water. During this time dishes have to be manually washed with provided filtered water to avoid saltwater residue.

Such a stunning setting. Beautiful home right at the ocean. This home is truly a bright spot on the island of Peaks. We lounged in the sun on the back lawn looking out across a beautiful ocean.
The interior is fresh and the huge windows proved over and over again to draw to the ocean.
Maximum Refreshing Experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The view and the crashing ocean waves were stunning and so tranquil. The home was very clean and comfortable. Would love to go back to enjoy again!

This is a very attractive, well-furnished, clean, comfortable house. But what it's really all about is the view! And what a view! The house has been expertly designed with huge windows to take full advantage of the expanse of sky and rocks and water just feet away. Many of the windows, on all sides, are casement (i.e., crank-out), which allows you take full advantage of the heavenly breezes and the soothing sound of the waves hitting the rocks. Even the shower has a world-class, full-horizon view, with a crank-out window. As a matter of fact, this is the most spectacular shower, with the most spectacular view, I have ever seen. A true stunner!
If you are looking for a place to unwind, to commune with an incomparable Maine seascape, to sit quietly while contemplating sunlight on water and the sound of water hitting rocks, this is the place for you. It may just heal your soul.

As many reviewers have said, this house has gorgeous views of the water - and a lovely patio outside to relax near the water. You have to go through the master bedroom to get to the full bathroom-which worked ok for us since there is a half bath downstairs. Just FYI - the bedroom downstairs is off the living room, and has sliding doors to the outside. We enjoyed the house and the island. There can be long waits for the car ferry to get on and off the island (3-hour wait on Monday morning)

The property exceeded our expectations - such a beautiful spot, loved falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks! Place was very clean & we'll appointed - had everything we needed for our stay!

Thanks!

The house was clean and well maintained. You cannot find a better view, located right on the water with stunning views, especially sunrises if you wake up early. We were traveling with two young kids and found the sleeping arrangements somewhat difficult for their ages (1&4). The second bedroom is off the living space with noise easily traveling. This made it difficult to spend much time in the living room after we put her to bed. We managed best parents can and would still return to this house.

If you want peaceful retreat and stunning views within easy access to " town" and Portland, this property is a great option. The house is well appointed and very clean, and the exterior of the property is well kept. It is on the quieter end of the island, perfectly situated for walks along the shore. We were a little concerned about making our desired ferry times, but we made sure to arrive 45 mins before our desired times, and did not have any issues. On the way there, we stopped at Rover Bagel in Biddeford (order online when about 1 hr away or you'll be waiting in line), then stopped at the food trucks at the Eastern Promenade in Portland. Vy Bahn Mi and Falafel Mafia were excellent! We made the 2:15 ferry, putting us on Peaks about 1 hr prior to check-in. Nikki responded immediately and positively when we texted to request early check-in. Friday we ordered pizzas from IL Leone on Island Ave, which were excellent! Sunday night, we ate at The Inn, which was also excellent. And what visit to Peaks is complete without a visit to the weird and wonderful Umbrella Cover Museum?

Great views. Great vacation on Peaks Island, Maine. Highly recommend. Highly recommend house we stayed at. Owner very accommodating and easy to contact.

The views on three sides have tidal ocean water splashing over the rocks of Maine. Daily walks and bike rides around the perfect island loop. Hosts were great communicators and easy to work with. House was spotless and had every modern touch. We rented a golf cart too which was great for running to the ferry for dinner off island a few times. We loved the house and will look forward to returning.

The house if filled with windows and light. The house faces the Atlantic and the scenery out the back window is an perfect for any ocean lover. The home is well equipped including bluetooth bathroom mirrors and speakers throughout. It was hard to leave.
5.0
Best spot on the back shore! Views from every room in the house! One of the few properties that is on the ocean side of the street on the backshore. I happened to be up at 4:30am for the most beautiful sunrise. Super clean, and has everything you need for your stay on Peaks. We will absolutely be back again.

We had a short mishap after check-in, however, Nikki quickly fixed the situation. The location of the property is breathtaking. Wonderful home to stay, and we would visit again.

We spent time up on Moosehead Lake and glad we ended our trip on Peak’s Island. House was clean and has lots of bells and whistles like home. Master shower is wonderful! Owners items are everywhere in the house though, shoes on shoe racks and clothes in dresser, that was a first for us and felt like we were intruding on someone else’s space. There was breast milk in bags in the refrigerator, that was uncomfortable when we put our groceries away! Wish the boat would have been available to rent during our stay.
It was perfect for my husband and I, but if you have a family be away this is really only a 1 bedroom with a bed and dresser in a sun porch and you’ll need to go through it to go outside. The 3rd twin bed is in the dining room off the kitchen and living room, no doors or privacy.
Once we settled in, it was fabulous. Everything was comfortable, master bedroom has stunning views. Views outside are just as amazing, sit on the steps and watch the sun rise between the neighboring islands. Walk out on the rocks during low tide and explore the ecosystem of the tide pools! Bikes made riding around the island fun. We saw a turtle laying eggs across the street, wild turkeys in the yard and seagulls rest on the rocks outside the home. The location is perfect if you are looking for peace and quiet. We had so much fun on Peaks and would rent this place again.

Perfect anniversary vacation property. Our 25th and all was amazing! Quaint sleepy town island. Extremely nice people. All of the conveniences you need on island. Just an outstanding trip all around! Would highly recommend for that quiet get away. my wife actually cried when we had to leave. That should say it all.

The house was amazing, the pictures and description didn’t do it justice. The manager Nikki was also great, anything we need or had a question about was answered in minutes. We will be making this a yearly trip because we had such an amazing time. Have and would recommend to anyone

We enjoyed our stay very much! The location was great, with amazing ocean views in nearly every room. The space was very comfortable and clean, a great kitchen with nice appliances, etc. We would definitely book this rental again in the future.
The master bedroom upstairs has no air conditioning but there are plenty of fans and sea breeze.
5.0
This place was quite a treat! Pictures don’t do it Justice. Nikki was available and responded to our text quickly. I recommend going without vehicle. The islanders like to keep there streets for golf carts and bikes. The bikes at the home were very useful and the ferry is about a mile away. The island taxi service is amazing, the drivers are Super Nice and helpful.
Waking up to a Beautiful sunrise laying in the bed was the best! Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a peaceful, step back in time vacation.

We enjoyed it so much -- the comfortable beds, the views... we decided to come back next year! The views are really unique and special; and made it really hard to leave to explore Peak's Island (which we also did do). The house is well-appointed. Thanks for the hospitality.

Amazing views and peaceful neighborhood
Everything was perfect for a quiet getaway! These have to the best views on the island. It was fun exploring - close enough to it all but away from it all for relaxing. Highly recommend!

Loved our little piece of heaven!
We had a rough start checking in. I am sure it was a fluke situation. We were unable to get in as expected and promised. Once Nikki realized what had happened she responded and we enjoy the rest of our stay. Despite the craziness around checking in, we really enjoyed our time there. My kids had a blast and we made memories we will cherish for a lifetime. I would absolutely suggest this little piece of heaven to anyone who is looking for a peaceful gateway. We are local and visit Peaks Island frequently! This will be on our list of place to revisit! Thank you for sharing your beautiful spot with us!

Relaxing vacation
We enjoyed all the house and Island had to offer. The views were great as we enjoyed watching the sunrise, tide changes, and wildlife. Easy to find and taking multiple routes let us explore the Island
Friendly people everywhere.

Beautiful spot on the water
The house is located on a beautiful spot on the east side of Peaks Island right on the water. The sounds of crashing waves and the views are a great way to go to sleep and wake up. The house had everything we needed and beautifully kept up. So glad we picked to stay here!

Room with a View
Spectacular location with memorable sunrises directly outside the bedroom. Panoramic views from every room on quaint seaside house. Very comfortable living space. Two bikes were provided that were a great touch. Memorable trip!

Perfect Getaway!
Beautiful property on the backshore of Peaks! I grew up spending summers at my Grandmother's home on Peaks for most of my childhood. Her home was on Island Ave facing Portland with the beach. This was a nice change-- situated on the rocks with a completely different & beautiful view. The interior of the home was clean & well maintained. We especially enjoyed all the windows which provided lots of sunlight & views from every direction. Bikes on site was an added bonus so we didn't have to rent or travel with our own. A great spot for families or a couple looking to get away!

The views!
The good:
The views are everything you could imagine and more! The bed was very comfortable. A washer and dryer off the main bathroom.
The questionable:
When we first arrived I was taken aback by the amount of "stuff" in the front hallways - tons of shoes, boxes, cleaning supplies, vacuum and attachments laying all over. Every dresser and closet was full of clothes, meaning there was no place to unpack our things. We put our luggage in the hall and lived from there. The dishes were very dirty. The fridge was clean, but the door was packed with condiments, although most have been expired for close to a year.
There were Nest cameras in at least 4 windows, pointing outside. However, they still have sound. I was very uncomfortable with that. I understand the owners probably want it for security. There are outside security cameras that would make your guests privacy not feel intruded upon.
The shower is short. I am 5'6" and had to duck to get my head fully under the showerhead. But that view you get while showering - great!
Overall, this was a good time. Even though the views are amazing, I wouldn't go back.

Beautiful!
Considered ourselves lucky being able to book this place! If you are looking for peace and quiet right by the water, this place is definitely it! Wish we could have stayed longer. Absolutely beautiful and exactly what we needed.

Serenity with stunning view!
We had an absolutely restorative and romantic stay at Nikki's property in Peak's Island. We went off-season and the serenity and peace was very welcome after a crazy few years with Covid. From every window in the house you see the beautiful bay, and each morning we woke to gorgeous sunrises. We found ourselves stopping multiple times, while walking up or down stairs just to soak in the view. The sound of the water kissing or crashing (depending on tide) was fantastic. A scene straight from a book. The home is thoughtfully appointed and our little family had everything we needed. It is also very cozy and warm and we absolutely loved our view while showering, and sleeping. We needed a restorative stay, and we were so incredibly relaxed we did not want to leave. Portland with restaurants and other activities was 20 min away via convenient ferry ride, and the island itself has a little coffee shop, gift shop and grocery store, plus beautiful shore/bay views. We hope to be back soon-thank you for providing this stunning setting that we won't forget!
