About this house rental
Situated in Peaks Island, this charming house for $350 per night is a great choice for your next break. Escaping to Valhalla by the Sea is like escaping to a simpler time, an experience not marked by time, but by your spiritual awakening on Peaks Island. From the moment you land on the island, you become a different person, the island has the power to transform and heal. Welcome to Valhalla by the Sea on Peaks Island. Sip lemonade on the spacious front porch during those beautiful summer days, or hot chocolate as you enjoy the fall colors snuggled under a blanket enjoying the crisp fall air. Enjoy the ocean breezes that naturally cool the house, or the warm fireplace when the weather starts to turn. Whether you are looking for a place to have a family gathering with children or a romantic stay with your significant other, this house is perfect for your stay.

This ocean view vacation home is an older building which has been lovingly outfitted for guests. If you are looking for slick and glitzy look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a classic, quaint seaside getaway just a few minutes walk to the open ocean, with many nice decorative touches and modern kitchen appliances, you will be very happy here.

We came to Maine to see the fall foliage. Never having been we tried something new and started on Peak’s Island. Love the island. House is a nice cottage with all the right amenities for a stay. Sea glass was everywhere. The Islander’s whom live there full time are not the nicest people, but it doesn’t ruin your trip. A nice drive to Merrifield Farm for some Maple Syrup and Rangeley Lake for Fall foliage is perfect to add to the trip.

The rental was good, the house can handle six, but can only park one vehicle. Very nice overall. Be patient with the ferry schedule, and get in line early.

Nicely appointed beach cottage. Bring small car as only parking for small car and a golf cart. Nice water views 5 mins to shore 10 minutes to the tiny village and ferry.

6 thirty-something guys on a dude trip absolutely loved this spot. Peaks Island is a magical place and this house was the perfect home for a long weekend. Easy checkin, lots of provided amenities, and the promise of wanting to come back. Don’t mind if we do!

3rd year at Valhalla
We love the location 0f Valhalla but are disheartened that the property is not being taken care of as it should be. We love the neighbors and our grandchildren are sad to think we may not go back, but the price is going up for next summer and we feel that if it was truly clean and well taken care of, we wouldn't mind paying the extra money, but for now, we will start looking elsewhere. I am so sorry that other renters do not respect properties they rent. I can see that the house/furnishings have been abused by the renters. Very sad to report this, but true. We have definitely created wonderful memories on Peak's Island, and will return, but not sure where we will stay.

Enjoyed the ocean views and waves from the porch. The location was ideal for sunrise walks and a short walk to the ferry for day trips to Portland for our big kids. Hoping to start a new tradition.

It was so gross I ended up renting rooms at the inn! This place is disgusting! Plus, not a single closet or anything where to hand clothing. Most disgusting place I’ve ever rented!!!

We truly love the location of this house. The only downfall is the lack of outdoor space, and what space there is, is not kept up (lawn not mowed and bushes not trimmed). This doesn't hamper our stay, but does stand out in the neighborhood. We are excited to stay again in 2022!

Our family stayed at Valhalla for a family wedding. All of us felt the house was perfect. Lots of sleep space, clean, great views. Like most homes on Peaks, the parking is limited but there is one dedicated space in front of the house which we greatly appreciated. The best room in the house is the dining area with lots of windows presenting phenomenal views. The covered front porch was also a favorite gathering place. The location is private and away from lots of foot traffic but very close to the shore. A perfect distance for walking into town or to the rocky beaches. Loved our stay!

Great little house. Not fussy and very comfortable. I would stay here again.
Property manager was very helpful when toiletry bag was left behind. He put it in the mail right away and I received in a couple of days. I have recommended this place to a few of my friends.

Overall really great stay. Traveled with family, there were 6 adults and 2 children and we all slept comfortably. Parking is tight, but there is additional parking by the ferry if traveling with a group and need more than one car. I do recommend renting a golf cart to get around. Everything is very close by but if you do not want to walk or ride a bike, the golf carts make it much easier than driving. The views from the house are beautiful. Great place to get away, relax, and enjoy simple island life!

The house was perfect for our family of six, ages 10 years to adult. We were looking for a cozy beach cottage with easy access to the coast and this house for the bill perfectly. It was well-equipped, clean and comfortable. There were a few minor items in the house that needed repair or updates, but that did not bother our family at all. The weather was cool during our stay, but we bundled up and walked or rode bikes all over the island. We hope to visit again soon!

Perfect place to recharge and energize. The house was perfectly described and the small touches were thoughtful! The island was wonderful and being able to walk everywhere was lovely! We definitely want to make this a yearly getaway!

The island is quaint and very removed from the hustle of downtown which is a nice thing to retire to. The house itself is set close enough to the waves to listen to them at night as you sleep and it had everything to make ones stay comfortable.
The island has much to see if you love nature and everyone seems welcoming and friendly.
Nice romantic getaway!

We had a great February break getaway here - nice sledding hills nearby, beautiful fireplace, and well-appointed kitchen. I'm sure Peaks Island is lovely in the summer as well, but I would recommend a cozy change of scenery here too! We are already enjoying our memories of roaming in the snow and on the cold beaches with our kids and dog.

Awful
This property was a nightmare. Never was informed that the property was on an island only accessible by ferry that has limited schedule during winter season. Plus it cost everytime you catch the ferry to return home from work in Portland. Secondly I checked out early snd requested a refund. The property manager told me he was waiting on the owner. 2 weeks went by. Then the owner is claiming damages. I don't smoke. I burn Palo Santo, and sage for energy purpose. But have never been accused of smoke nasty cigarettes. This owner is a racist and a liar and only accusing me of false damages because he didn't want to return my money after I only stayed for 5days and paid the entire stay upfront.

The house is beautiful and has a beachy feel throughout. It is close enough to the ocean to get that sea breeze, and it has the windows for it! There’s a quick 5 minute walk to the beach and you can see the ocean from the porch! The neighbors are super kind and friendly which made the stay more enjoyable. The town is in walking distance if you don’t mind a hill or two. The island is super dog friendly along with the house thanks to the owners!
