Yearround Cottage on Peaks Island

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful week on Peaks celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary! Peaks is where we met after spending several summers there. Two cousins joined us who had also spent time on the island. The deck was great - weather was sunny. (We were there Aug 16-23, 2026). We also liked that the cottage was set back in the woods. We so enjoyed exploring in our car and on foot revisiting places that we remembered from 60 years ago and finding new ones."

Large, light filled 4 bedroom house - walk to ocean and ferry

10/10 Excellent

"Lily was responsive, and the key was the easy check-out. Fewer hurdles made for less stress. Our group at this house made leaving unneeded foods in the fridge OK, which was great. Leaving the beds & towels was magic, Thanks."
