About this cottage rental

Located in Peaks Island, this charming cottage for $500 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Due to the coronavirus, we’re taking extra steps to clean the entire cottage and to sanitize frequently touched surfaces between reservations. And we are offering self check-in and check-out. We close up the cottage during the winter months. Available May 1 - Columbus Day. One-week minimum, Sunday - Sunday, July 1 - Labor Day. Three-day minimum otherwise. Our spacious but cozy family cottage is located on a quiet, dead-end shorefront road, just a few yards from the water with an uninterrupted view of Josiah's Cove and then across the sparkling sea 'all the way to Portugal.' It retains the charm of its 100-year history even though we've lovingly restored and equipped it with up-to-date appliances, numerous sky-lights, new mattresses and wireless internet service. We do not provide linens. Guests who do not bring their own can rent them from a service on the island. The cottage is perfectly suited for a quiet family holiday. It is not appropriate for large groups or noisy parties. Absolute maximum occupancy is 8. We are sorry, but we cannot accommodate pets. The top floor includes the master bedroom with water views, double bed, adjoining full bath with clawfoot tub, and a children's bedroom with two twin beds. The main level includes two double bedrooms with a half-bath between, along with the kitchen, dining room and living room. A brick fireplace defines the cathedral-ceilinged living room. But most guests prefer sitting on the front porch to watch the sun rising at dawn, the lobster boats pulling their traps in the early morning, the sail boats passing all day long and the lights of the giant tankers twinkling in the distance at night. For insurance and safety reasons guests are not allowed to use the fireplace. Guests may use the barbecues outside, but must provide their own fuel, propane or charcoal, both readily available on the island. There is a wonderful outdoor shower at the back of the house. Peaks Island is a safe and quiet family paradise offering beaches, tennis courts, kayaking, fishing (including from the rocks in front of the cottage) and great walking and bike-riding. Bikes and kayaks are available for rent. And it's all just a 20-minute car ferry ride from the shopping, excellent restaurants, movies and first-class art museum of Portland. The cottage is normally open from Memorial Day through Columbus Day. Please inquire about early May and late October.

Older cottage with great porch overlooking Josiah's Cove. Bedrooms are comfortable, 4th bedroom upstairs is a walk through. No indoor shower, only a deep bathtub, but we liked the outdoor shower. It is off the beaten path so very quiet. The porch facing Josiah's Cove is the best!

Wow! Panoramic view, charming, peaceful, wraparound porch, outdoor shower (especially convenient for downstairs sleepers), great kitchen space with adequate tools, and (very important) an owner (Woody) who was very thoughtful and responsive to any issues and needs. We rented Woody’s cottage with our dear friends who we had not seen in four years, due to the pandemic. We have a history together vacationing on Peaks. Woody’s magical place provided us the perfect setting to reunite. We had such a wonderful time, one for the memory books. In finishing the review I think this quote from my best friend says it all. “Scott and I loved the vintage ME cottage vibe and enjoyed the quiet location. One never wanted to leave the porch and the view. We would return”.

What a beautiful setting to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday! My daughter (Sr in High School), my mother and I had a wonderful girls trip to Peaks Island to relax, see the changing of the seasons and make memories together. We received that and more! The cottage is rustic and inviting. Minimal in amenities, but quaint nonetheless. A fun trip back in time to simpler times. You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful setting - watching the sun rise over the Atlantic and listening to the waves crash from the large front porch. One note for potential renters: if you are looking to catch a morning flight, stay in the city the night before. Do not rely on the ferry to get you there in time. You may not get on at your desired time! I can’t wait to bring the rest of my family back to visit!

This was our second time renting this property and the ocean view from the front porch is unbeatable! The house is spacious, the location is great and the view is amazing! Hope to come back next year.

Our group (couple in our sixties, three adult children and wo young kids) had a fabulous time at Woody’s house— cooking in the well equipped kitchen, sharing meals and reading on the porch, riding bikes (enough for all of us at the house), and exploring. We will definitely return.

Our crew of five adults and one 16-month old throughly enjoyed this beautiful spot! The view is simply breathtaking and the cottage is full of charm and warm—a true Maine experience. In addition, Woody was incredibly responsive with the reservation as well as wit helpful tips for navigating the ferry and island life. He checked in via text right after we arrived to make sure everything ok which was a great touch. Truly the easiest VRBO experience this group has ever had. We’ve already started planning our next trip!

Just an amazing place to stay. A step back in time but beautifully appointed home... just what we had hoped for. Communication with the owner was wonderful and we surely hope to be back!

Upon arrival, my children went wild for this house — and my wife and I did as well! It is a great location for a family with younger kids. Ours (ages 4 and 6) were kept well occupied by the great books, toys, and the hammock. The adults enjoyed the house just as much — but for different reasons. The view is incredible and the home is so relaxing (even though my wife had to work and FYI the internet connection is great). Everything was truly as-advertised and Woody was always quick to reply and helpful.In short — it was a great stay — a wonderfully low-key getaway — and we hope to return!
