Summary: The cottage was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend! The location is very private and the view and sound of the ocean was so lovely. We all agreed that we will try to make Bella Vista a destination for future gatherings. Loved it!

Summary: My family and I can't say enough about this property. It was wonderful. Pictures can't possibly capture the incredible views or the wonderful accommodations. All three spacious bedrooms had direct ocean views. The first floor living space was open and inviting and the kitchen, actually the whole house, was beautifully appointed with everything we could possibly need for our family reunion. We had big family breakfasts at the farmhouse size table with full ocean views, grilled and ate outside on the wide front porch. The house was perfectly located for fishing, bird watching, hiking and exploring Battery Steele and it was a walkable distance from the restaurants and stores closer to the ferry. Although Peaks Island can be fairly crowded with day trippers and golf carts, the house is at the end of a quiet dirt lane that ends at a trailhead. So, our stay was peaceful and serene. Would give this host and this location more stars if we could!

Summary: We were up for a wedding at Peaks Island in October. A ferry ride over and a very short drive to the unit. It is located on the North East side of the island with beautiful rocky shore views. The unit itself is clean and inviting. Rustic style charm, natural woods, and warm.

Summary: I spent summers on Long Island in Casco Bay always dreaming of staying at Peak’s Island to see what all the hype was about… Well, it exceeded my expectations at this location! The communication with the owner, to the comfort of the cottage and view was priceless. We are already planning for next summer 😃

Summary: Our family of mom, dad, 2 adult children, their spouses, 2 granddaughters, and a Boston terrier had a week of reconnecting with each other on Peaks Island in this beautiful house. Gino is a great communicator. He gave us details of the workings of the house and property, well ahead of time. The large front porch and quiet path in front of the house were perfect for the "littles" to explore and play, without fear of road traffic. The beds are comfortable and the wonderful windows that are screened and open easily gave us the best part of the trip.....the constant sound of the ocean. The kitchen is updated, well equipped, and clean. The 3 bathrooms, with one on the ground floor, made life easy. The washer and dryer is another great addition to the light, bright, breezy, and quiet home. We took advantage of the stove, oven, gas grill, comfy porch chairs, and large dining table and chairs. We hope to stay here again. We loved our visit.

Summary: Six of us had the great fortune to stay at this beautiful cottage the week of July 15th. The home is very comfortable and was well stocked with all the staples and kitchen equipment we needed. There was a cool breeze every night and there was a fan so sleeping conditions were perfect. The view from the front porch was so magnificent that we spent the majority of our time sitting there and looking out over the ocean. It was the most relaxing vacation I have ever experienced. The only downside is the number of golf carts and people coming down to the lookout spot in front of the cottage. They did not bother us in the least, but you should expect this. I would definitely consider staying here again and highly recommend it to others.

Summary: Peaks Island is an absolutely beautiful place. We really enjoyed our vacation. The house is located right on the water where we would sit on the porch and watch the waves crash into the rocks. Every window on the front of the house looked over the water. Gino was great to work with and communication and check in was very easy. We would definitely stay here again. If you want a beautiful, serene, relaxing vacation, this is it. I would recommend renting a golf cart, we were really glad we did and explored the island with it.

Summary: I loved this place! It is the second house located on a short dirt road with only two houses on it. It is so peaceful and quiet. After the house there is a trail you can walk. In front of the house there is the road, some bushes, beautiful rocks and then the ocean. You can watch the sunrise. The house itself is so cute and has everything you need. It is up-to-date and the windows open easily so with a nice breeze coming in. You won't be sorry if you rent this house.

Summary: We stayed here with our 3 yr and 1 yr old. It is a beautiful house, Gino was extremely responsive and kind, and the location was perfect. Hiking trail right next to the house but private enough where we felt like we could relax while we were at the house. Our 3 yr old loved climbing on the rocks in front of the house. Would stay again!
