Perfect girls weekend

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!

Family holiday

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 😃

Quiet and peaceful

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.

An amazing vacation

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.

Great Getaway

We stayed here for my wife's birthday with 2 friends and the house was perfect. It was very clean when we got there and checking in with the owner was a breeze. Everything on the property was in good order and worked well. The owner is very prompt in replying to any question or concern you may have. I had a question or two and he responded very quickly. The location was very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed just sitting listen to the waves crash over the rocks. I highly recommend this house to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway. I would definitely go back again.

Island Paradise

We were the first renters in this beautiful property and there were a couple of snafu’s beyond their control. Gino always text, answered his phone and things were resolved immediately! Jamie & Ozzie the care taker crew were incredible at resolving all issues quickly and efficiently. These owners were so great to rent from. Property is well maintained and in a great location. We loved the salt air, the sunrise and the beautiful views from every room in the house. We will definitely come back next summer! Eric & Annette

One of the Best Vacations Spots

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.

Perfect Island Get-A-Way

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!

Peaceful, picturesque, playful Peaks Island place

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.

The best place to stay on Peaks Island!

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.

great location and space

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!

Gorgeous views from the porch & from every bedroom!

The cottage sits in a special location that takes full advantage of all the views the back shore of Peaks Island has to offer. However, while it sits at the end of a dead-end dirt road, the dead end leads to public hiking paths as well as public rocky beaches adjacent to the property, meaning that there was a steady stream of traffic past the porch. While it was mostly kind islanders and tourists, there was a late night trio of loud, drunken young men who seemingly had just discovered swearing and alcohol. They were gone in less than a half hour though, having run out of booze. Not a complaint, but want to give a heads-up that while the cottage is lovely and welcoming with a great porch that overlooks the best part of Casco Bay, it is not as private as we would have liked. Still a gorgeous spot. And a lovely cottage with all the needs for a vacationing group.

Great family vacation!

We had a great time at Gino’s house. The space was perfect for a family to gather, eat meals, and enjoy the stunning views of Elm Cove. We’ve been coming to the island for over 30 years (some of us longer), and this was one of the best spots we have stayed. The kitchen is well appointed, the appliances are nice, and the bedrooms are spacious with great views. It is unique to find a home on Peaks with 3 bathrooms, which makes the space even more comfortable for a long stay. We will be back!
