My husband and I are Portland residents but we needed a larger space to host our family for a long weekend. Cindy’s place was gorgeous and functional. The view is everything you imagine when visiting maine. My dad got a kick out of watching the lobsterman drop their traps in the morning and my mom was awed by the gorgeous sunset each night. The two separate houses were perfect so the grandparents could sneak away for some quiet time. There is so much to do right there. The kids went hunting for sea glass on the little beach and the adults had a glass of wine on the patio. We are big cooks, and the kitchen and grill had everything you could need for some awesome family meals. Thank you for hosting my Family and I, it was exceptional.

Cindy’s Place is wonderful and was a perfect spot for 4 good friends (all women) to get together. Both cottages are lovely, clean, and well-equipped. We didn’t have a single problem during our stay and we’re looking forward to coming back. The owner was a pleasure to work with…responsive, informative, and kind. Peaks Island is a great option place if you’re visiting Portland or the surrounding area. Quiet, quaint, and charming. And, the ferry to Portland was easy and on schedule. I highly recommend Cindy’s Place and Peaks Island to anyone planning a trip to Maine.

Very smooth process and great and rare upgraded property for rent on Peaks. The main room is like being on a boat in the ocean with spectacular sunset views. Fully equipped and very nice outdoor seating. I wasn’t crazy about the request to wash sheets and towels when check out time was 10 am. One of the bedrooms in the main cottage is bunk beds that will only work for v small children. The property is adjacent to an events hall so is likely to be used and loud on weekends in summer; this did not disturb us but worth noting.

We had a fantastic stay at “Cindy’s Place.” We were on the island for a family wedding and had 5 adults and 5 teens. The location could not be more perfect- close to the ferry, restaurant’s and shops with views of Portland and gorgeous sunsets. As for the houses, they are updated, clean, and well stocked with comfortable beds and linens. There are multiple places to gather including a neatly designed patio overlooking the water and an upper deck off the main house. When the tide is out there’s plenty of beach for gathering sea glass and other ocean treasures. Really can’t say enough about this house- we hope to visit again!

Perfect rental for 4 couples. Very well appointed. Views are unbelievable .

My extended family (4 young adult cousins, several aunts and uncle and a grandmother) recently stayed at this gorgeous ocean front compound and I’m not sure I have words to express just how wonderful this place is. . . But I will try! We have been renting on Peaks for a number of years and this was by far the best place ever - as others have noted - and the first time for us that reality far surpassed the online photos. Everything seemed much bigger and more beautiful than the photos. In the main house, the feeling of floating over the water is almost fantasy-like. From inside in the glassed- in living room, from the upstairs deck literally hanging over the water, from the large stone patio, and even from the living room and loft of the Captain’s Quarters - one can while away the time just watching the constant boat activity surrounding the island, viewing seacoast birds, and even just watching the weather change, with binoculars (kindly provided) handy. There is a small beach (sandy at low tide) where we were able to launch the kayaks we brought with ease, and comb for shells and interesting rocks. The beautifully constructed large stone patio - built right into the small hillside between houses and right off the kitchen of the main house, has 4 sunset viewing “chairs” built right into its wall, along with the large table and chairs and a few Adirondack chairs in their own little nook. So thoughtfully designed for the NIGHTLY live color show that comes free of charge as you watch the sun sink into the ocean. We have a long list of activities we enjoy on Peaks, and all are easily accessed from the house - biking the circumference of Peaks and finding new little dirt lanes to explore, hiking in the preserve in the center of the island, exploring the old WWII battery and watchtower, jumping off the ferry pier (if one can summon the courage!), buying lobsters from Forest City Seafood - right on the dock, and our new tradition - spending a live-music filled afternoon of laughing and dancing at Raggae Sunday at Jones Landing near the pier - esp fun this year now that our young adults can sip drinks with us! The lawn space of this property is quite expansive for playing outside, and the landscaping is very nicely done. The hosts are responsive and very easy to work with. There is just nothing bad to say. We LOVED it and have already booked for next summer. Highly recommend!

The 2 buildings game us the ability to put the young adults in the upper quarter with the remaining in the main house. The quality of the buildings were second to none and the outside landscaping was all anyone could ask for. Nice Job Greg Carter!!!!!!!!!!!!! Facing Portland and the closeness to he ferry was a bonus.

Great stay, great communication with the owner, home has all you can ask for including an incredible view and property!

This is a beautiful property on Peaks Island with an amazing view! Greg is a great host and is very responsive. We’ve been visiting Peaks for over 30 years and this was the best house, by far, in a perfect location. We would love to return!

Went smoothly. Enjoyed biking around Island. View from both houses picturous.

We rented both houses for my family, they were in my opinion the nicest on the island!! Great views, appeared new, very clean and owner was very accommodating. Close to the downtown area. My soon to be wife and I had our “first look” on the shoreline at the house, very pretty!!!

Wonderful, perfect for our larger group

The property including the two houses and the little beach is a real gem. We really enjoyed being right on the water watching all the sailboats and other boats zigzagging around the bay, the sunsets, the clouds and changing light throughout the day. Everything about the houses and amenities including the numerous outdoor sitting areas and furniture is first class.

Cindy's Place on Peak's Island, ME is the perfect spot for experiencing island life. It's close to the main street with shops and grocery, but also far enough to feel like your own private hideaway. Nestled right on the rocks of Casco Bay, you can sit and watch the boats come and go and experience stunning sunsets every night. The landscaping is beautiful and sitting outside is like being in a park. The two houses were perfect for a group or family that likes some space. Both were very clean and well-equipped. The owner was very nice and extremely easy to communicate with and responsive whenever I had questions, both before we left and during our stay. The main house is well equipped with kitchen items and its own coffee/drink bar. The owner was generous with leaving things from prior guests that we could also use- it's nice to have spices, ketchup, etc. The upper cottage had its own kitchenette as well and was well stocked- a great place to wake up and have a cup of coffee before joining the others in the main house. The beds were very comfortable as well! In fact, the house was so nice that we rarely left it. We only went into Portland twice! They had 2 bikes we could use and a kayak. We walked around the island every day and met locals wherever we went. We rented a golf cart from Mike's Carts for the week so we could explore the island. We ate ice cream and watched the ferry. We ate lobster and more lobster! I highly recommend staying at Cindy's Place. It's a gorgeous place to spend your vacation!! We will definitely be back!

The property is a few minutes walk from the Peaks Island ferry, and is feet from the water. The main living room is surrounded by amazing views; we spent a lot of time just relaxing and watching the waves. There are tables to sit at outside, and a hammock, and comfy chairs and sofas inside. (For the extra-hot day we got, the AC inside was well appreciated). The second "Captain's Quarters" house was perfect for a family with kids that was part of our group, to keep naptime from being disrupted by everyone else (or vice versa). All of us very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future!

Perfect property for a family weekend. The 2 houses were absolutely beautiful with a perfect view. Loved every minute!

This is a beautiful property with 180-degree views of Casco bay and a bit of sandy beach at low tide. I would go on about the wonderful layout and amenities inside (everything is so nice, right down to the oversize beach towels in the downstairs bathroom) but we spent almost the entire week on the patio or outdoor decks. Our children spent hours exploring at the water's edge and on the rainy days, played with the toys found in cabinets inside. We took sunset kayak and canoe rides out to a tiny spit of island close by and puttered around the back shore on a golf cart (arrange in advance for a weekly rental from one of two golf-cart rental places on the island). We had friends for dinner on the large and gorgeous patio, and had a surprise few drinks left for us in the drinks fridge by whoever the kind prior guests were.
