Fantastic Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay on Peaks Island at this home. Perfect location to the beach and to the ferry. All within a few minutes walk. The home was very clean and had everything ww needed ready for us when we arrived. My kids (13 & 10) loved the bunk beds and room in the basement. They felt like they had their own space.
Beautiful backyard area to hang out as well. Owner was on top of everything with a handy binder with all the ins/outs of the area and property. She also checked in several times during the stay which was nice. We were there for a wedding and felt fortunate as we had a much better place to stay than most. All in all we would definitely stay there again. We can't imagine booking anywhere else. If you are on the fence about this place, don't be. Book your stay here, you won't regret it.

Hidden gem
This property is awesome. It was a great place to stay—close to all the excitement in Portland but remote enough to be relaxing and feel removed from the crowds. The pictures really don’t do this home justice. The master bedroom is absolutely stunning with its abundant natural light and views. Even though this property is close to neighbors it was pin drop silent. It is a super quick walk to all the islands amenities, including the easy to navigate ferry. We didn’t even rent a car—just got a Lyft from the airport to the ferry (10-15 minute ride) then a 10-15 minute ferry to the property. The island itself is also absolutely lovely. We’ll definitely be back!

I rented the cottage for my brothers and our spouses while we attended our niece’s wedding festivities. Cottage was the perfect combination of accommodation and location. All were comfortable and we were near all of the wedding events. We were also able to enjoy the island, take several long walks, and enjoy some “home-cooked” meals! Lots of discussion about a possible future, longer stay at the cottage to see more of the island and enjoy some time in downtown Portland.

Amazing week & Beautiful getaway
We had a great stay at this house! My fiance and I spent 8 days at the house and had an amazing time. We spent a lot of time sitting on the great outside deck enjoying the view. Walk able to the ferry into Portland for the day. But Peaks is such a beautiful island that we could have spent the entire time on the island and at the house.
Highly recommended and if we go back to Portland we would definitely stay here again.

Our far flung family gathered here in August and we all had a delightful time. Finding a cradle for one grandson and a little couch for the 6yr old was a lovely surprise too.

Great house on Peaks Island

Great family weekend at Peek A Boo
Spent a long weekend at Peek A Boo with family, the house was beautiful, clean and spacious (comfortable and roomy for 8 adults in our group). Great location, close enough for a quick bike or walk to ferry and market, but still quiet and peaceful at night. Great views from the master bedroom and yard. The back patio was perfect for morning coffee, lobster dinner and having drinks with family and friends. Home owner Kathrin was very helpful and attentive, we all enjoyed our stay! Can’t wait to return to Peaks!

Perfect place to stay on Peaks!
We rented Peak-A-Boo for our family vacation this year. There was ample space for 6 adults and one kid. The location is great, it’s within walking distance of the ferry, beaches, and stores/restaurants. Basement bonus room was the perfect place for our kiddo who loved the bunk beds, toys, and books. The home is very comfortable, there’s plenty of room to gather in the kitchen or on the porch. The owner was very helpful and responded very quickly to my (many) questions! Overall the perfect experience for us. Thank you again!

Better than the photos!
We had a great time at this property. It’s so convenient to Down Front and the water. The first floor living space is very spacious (doesn’t look as big in the photos!). The house is beautifully decorated and maintained. Kathrin was also super sweet and accommodating. We’d happily book here again!

Great time
We rented this home for a family vacation and had a great time. The house is charming, well equipped, clean, and comfortable to hang out in. The view off the back deck and from the master bedroom also makes for a nice place to hang out.

Great Girls Weekend
We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of space for our group of seven. Spent a lot of time sitting on the great outside deck enjoying the view. Close enough to walk to the ferry and get into Portland for the day but Peaks is such a beautiful island we found ourselves staying local! Highly recommend this house.

Lovely home away from home!
My husband and I shared this lovely home for a week with friends and we couldn't be happier! The master bedroom is glorious, with a lovely view of the bay! No one else suffered either - with the same gorgeous view from the living room and deck. Fantastic place and really comfortable. We had a few foggy, rainy days while on Peaks and the house was a great place to relax. Great kitchen for a rental property with plenty of room for us to cook breakfast for a crowd.
The owner, Kathrin, was fantastic throughout the entire process. Very responsive to questions and supplied great information and tips on the island, in particular, the ferry system. If we venture to Maine from Colorado again, we'd definitely look to stay here again!

A great house for a family with all conveniences
The house was conveniently situated, yet quiet and private, with an attractive ambience, nice garden, washer dryer, and view of the water. We loved the vibe of the island and all it had to offer. We will definitely come again.

Incredibly wonderful house for a Peaks vacation.
I booked this house with some trepidation due to the fact that there weren't too many reviews, but then I found out it has only recently come on the VRBO rental market.
My family and I have been coming to Peaks for over 20 years and we just love the wonderful feel to this Island. Friendly people, so close to Portland for day or evening trips in town, good restaurants right around the corner, a fully stocked market-"if we don't have it, you don't need it".
And now the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae (oh yes, there is an ice cream shop a short 5 minute walk away), this HOUSE!! It is perfect in so many ways. It has a side porch for entry, a back deck for sipping your morning coffee or having your afternoon beer. The layout of the house is great too-nice, fully stocked, spacious kitchen and dining area, open living room with access to the deck, a spiral staircase down to a neat bunk bedded room. The living room also has a wood burning stove (we didn't need to use it). Upstairs are three beautiful bedrooms, the master with its own bathroom, and the shared bathroom has a wonderful clawfoot bathtub!.
This house can easily accommodate two families with plenty of room to spare. As the previous review stated: This is the house you want to be in. It is only a 5-8 minute walk to the ferry and all the stores and restaurants on the Island. It is another 5 minute walk to the sandy beach. The location is perfect in every way. You will be so happy you came to Peaks Island and came to stay at this "Beautiful getaway on Peaks Island"

Beautiful and inviting house with water views. Will be back!
My boyfriend and I enjoyed a long weekend at this charming house on Peaks Island. We took the car ferry from Portland (both quick and convenient) and parked in front of the house within 2 minutes of deboarding. From the moment we walked in, we knew we’d found a place to return to.
The kitchen was spacious and perfect for lounging and making a full meal. Just off the kitchen is a full bath (with washer and dryer!), and on the other side — a welcoming living room with a wood stove and a view of the water.
The bedrooms are spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The master has an ensuite bathroom and windows that capture beautiful views. We loved waking up and immediately seeing (and hearing) waves in the distance.
Kathrin is incredibly responsive and a pleasure to book with. She responded to our initial request, payment confirmation, and specific questions very quickly.
We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable stay on Peaks Island. We’ll be back!
