4 Bedroom Cottage in Peaks Island, Portland

Available May 1 - Columbus Day. Full-week rentals only, Saturday-Saturday July 1 - Labor Day. Three-day minimum otherwise.
The house is simply but completely furnished and colorfully decorated, for family use, not as a 'rental property.' Virtually everything in the cottage has some sentimental value, having been either handed down from parents and grandparents or repaired, purchased, or brought back from a journey by the current generation of the family… if it didn’t come with the house when our family purchased it in the late 1970’s.
We do not provide linens. If you do not bring your own, you 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.
Recently the house was re-shingled and insulated from the outside, to preserve the “cottage feel” inside. All the windows and screens were replaced and interior walls and trim freshly painted. Floors were sanded and varnished. A new full bath with shower and laundry room were added off the kitchen.
The house sits at the end of a quiet road, high above the sea, about 100 yards through the woods from the rocky shore of Josiah’s Cove. Though the cottage is not on the waterfront, from the porch you can see the ocean sparkling. A short steep walk down through what our grown children long ago dubbed 'The Magic Woods' brings you to the back yard of our other cottage.
The cottage is open from Memorial Day through Columbus Day.
First floor
There is a wrap-around porch, perfect for breakfast, cocktails and afternoon reading or napping.
The comfortably furnished living room has windows on three sides and a pass-through to the kitchen. There's a daybed for napping, a table in a corner perfect for Scrabble. For safety and insurance reasons we do not allow guests to use the fireplace.
To reach the kitchen one passes through a small, formal dining room with built-in china cabinet.
To the right of the dining room is a new, large master bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a rattan love seat and coffee table, big skylights, pine floors and paneling, and windows all around. It’s beautiful! Awaking to the ocean view is truly special.
The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, and plenty of china, flat ware, sharp knives, and other tools. There is a gas range, a refrigerator with freezer, a microwave and a built-in dishwasher. The refrigerator, washer and dryer are in a new utility room just around the corner from the kitchen, to the right.
To the left beyond the kitchen is a new bathroom with shower. And on the way out to the woods there is wonderfully powerful outdoor shower, closed in up to about six feet but open to the trees and the sky above.
Second floor
On the second floor there is a small full bath with clawfoot tub, but no shower.
Off a central hallway there are four bedrooms, two with double beds, two with two twin beds each.
All have bureaus and closet space.

Summary: This generational family owned home on Peaks Island was every bit as wonderful as we were hoping it would be. Spacious, enough bedrooms, clean, in a beautiful quiet location - there wasn't anything we lacked! Owner Woody was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process & during our stay. Our hands down favorite place was the wonderful front porch with a stunning view of the ocean - sunrises are magnificent! If you are looking for a quiet family vacation, we highly recommend!

Summary: My family stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The location is away from the higher-trafficked areas of the island which made for an extra peaceful stay. Our favorite place to hang out was on the huge wrap-around porch, just watching and listening to the ocean. Plenty of space for numerous guests without feeling too cramped, and the place was equipped with everything we needed during our stay. Would stay here again!

Summary: This cottage has a nice elevation with a view of the ocean and woods. We enjoyed reading, drinking coffee, and generally relaxing on the front porch. The place has a lot of character and is obviously loved by the Halsey family. Woody was a thoughtful host who communicated with me and answered my questions prior to our arrival. Everything about the cottage was as-described. We hope to come back.

Summary: This is a big old, comfortable family cottage, up above the ocean, facing east for the sunrise. There is plenty of room for eight adults, with many bedrooms upstairs and a lovely modern master suite on the bottom floor. We ate on the large porch facing the ocean many times, especially breakfast and lunch, and enjoyed the cosy dining room at dinner. I can honestly say we never went out to eat. Great family time for a week in this quiet location, highly recommend this side of the island. Biking is wonderful for exploring all over. Hope to return again, many thanks for sharing.

Summary: Wonderful home - it was well appointed with any cooking utensil you could need, a spacious refrigerator and lots of warm, cozy blankets! While it is a true "camp" house (no insulation or heat) there were many space heaters that we used to warm up, as well as blankets to keep us toasty at night. Quiet, restful place! Would definitely stay there again!
