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.

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!

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.

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.

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
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.

Libby Cottage is clean, spacious, beautiful, and has a great view.
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!
