Jerri and Roberts beautiful house was the best part of my vacation. I felt right at home when I walked in and new I made the right choice. The garden was full of wonderful art pieces from Robert and the flowers were gorgeous. We had a few visits from Jack, their dog which made our stay extra special. The house is close to everything so that made it very convenient as well. We will be back!

Villa Maria was adorable and in a great location, an easy 7 minute walk to the ferry, shops and restaurants, yet quiet and off the beaten path. Spacious and cute, the downstairs living area also has AC if it gets too hot. We loved the coffee and bagels provided. The kitchen was fully equipped. A great family getaway or couples retreat!

Villa Maria was great. The gardens are beautiful in a personal way. Jerri is a warm host and kind person. And it was really nice to be both close to town and a short walk to the ocean. We hope to return.

We had a great experience at Villa Maria. Everything we needed was laid out for us, we enjoyed the beauty of the place, the relaxed feel, and the fun of Peak's Island.

This was our first visit to the east coast and the Villa Maria was perfect! It is in an excellent location for exploring Peaks Island or catching the ferry to Portland and surrounding areas! The house was charming and is as advertised with everything you could possibly need for your vacation! We would definitely stay here again!

Villa Maria was beautiful and spacious and comfortable, and it's centrally located in Peaks Island. We were really grateful to have bagels and coffee provided for the morning. They were very flexible about our arrival time, which we appreciated.

This was our second time staying at Villa Maria, and once again it was the perfect place to stay on Peaks Island. It's right up the street from the bike rental, and a short walk to the ferry, the grocery story, and most importantly, the ice cream shop! The house is immaculately clean, and contains everything you need, including a fully stocked kitchen. The garden is just beautiful. We had a wonderful time, and hope to come back next year.

Lovely, clean, art-filled apartment about a 10-minute walk from the Ferry Landing. Cozy and comfortable with well stocked kitchen. Guests are welcome to eat out on the deck and admire the beautiful gardens. Jerri and her husband were very friendly and welcoming.

Ted was an amazing warm welcoming host. He gave us lots of great advice of where to go both on Peaks Island and in Portland. If you are looking for a funky charming hideaway, this is the place! Thanks Ted Dima

The idea of staying in a tree house was what motivated my reservation-but having completed my stay-what will motivate me to return is the host-Ted. Ted is a warm, engaging vicarious gentleman who warmly embraces his guest and you become part of the culture of Peaks Island and also feel like you are 'home'. He is just an amazing person-perfect host. The tree house is comfortable. If you are on the 'large' size-it is highly probable you would have difficulty fitting into the opening that goes up a level to the bedroom. The bed is also a full-so two larger people would have difficulty fitting but there is the futon in the kitchen which is comfortable. Peaks Island is friendly and safe. One point to know is that the tree house doesn't lock when you are not in it. The screen door locks when you are in-but when you leave-the apartment is not locked. That is somewhat how the island works but just be aware. We had no thoughts of being unsafe by any means-but something for you to be aware of and know. The bathroom door (1/2 bath) also doesn't lock or actually have a door handle-again-not an issue but in full transparency if you have issues with not closing/locking doors-FYI. This was a fantastic experience at Ted's tree house. Go with the spirit of experiencing Ted and his amazing and magical personality and you will walk away happier and with a more positive outlook on life.

The Tree House is the best. What a beautiful spot with wonderful people, gorgeous scenery, fresh ocean air, easy access to Portland, and a very high cool factor! We'll be back!

Ted made us feel very welcomed and was an extremely gracious host. Staying at the tree house is an unique traveling experience and a nice way to explore Maine. Highly recommended for those travelers seeking a stay "off the beaten path." Thanks, Ted!

Teddy was an amazing host. He met us at the top of the hill after the ferry ride and picked us up. When my fiancé and I reached Teddy's love shack he gave us chocolate and a bottle of red. What a great experience and highly recommend it to anybody traveling to Portland or Peaks Island ME.

Ted was a great host! He called the day before we arrived and gave really helpful information about where to park and what restaurants to eat. The treehouse was amazing and clean - one of the most unique experiences! We miss princess butterball! Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay on Peaks.

Ted was so kind and welcoming, we immediately felt right at home! He had great recommendations for where to eat, drink and relax, both on Peaks Island and in Portland, and offered us great suggestions for beach spots to get some sun and relax. The Tree House is cozy and perfect for a quiet getaway! I would highly recommend a stay with Ted at the Tree House to get away from it all!

We had a wonderful time in the "Tree House." Would definitely stay again.

Allison provides a well equipped cottage with lots of island charm. The feathered nest on Peaks island is everything we imagined for "our family get away" to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday! Totally relaxing and we all enjoyed each others company on Maine's beautiful coast. Rent this special spot and you will not be disappointed the owner truly cares about you enjoying your stay and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We will always cherish our memory of the special time that we spent at this cottage. Looking forward to returning again in the future!

Our family visited lovely Peak's Island and stayed at the lovely feathered nest for a weekend getaway. The house had a beautiful view of the water. The house itself was wonderful and charming. We loved the decor, the lived in, homey feel. Everything we needed was provided from a fully outfitted kitchen to copious towels and bed linens. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you Allison!

We really enjoyed our stay here at Allisons place, her instructions were spot on, the place was just what we expected. The hot tub was a great way to end each day and start each morning (swim suit free) while overlooking the bay, the wood stove adds a nice touch to unwind after soaking in the hot tub outside, the radiant heat in the shower and bath was great when we showered. Sunsets are great form the deck or inside and waking up with a wall of glass overlooking the bay was great too. The walk to the beach was close, and easy, the walk to 'town' for the market or a bite to eat at the restaurant or cafe was just enough to stretch out the legs.

I appreciated there was a plentiful supply of towels, soaps, small toiletries, etc. This is important at an Island location. The water view was actually a little better than I expected.

This was a wonderful and charming home. It was incredibly cozy and we took ample use of the hot tub with gorgeous view. The house oozes coastal Maine charm. I cannot recommend this house enough, we are already planning another stay. When we had trouble operating the hot tub, Allison was extremely helpful and easy to reach.

Totally charming, cozy place. One thing I'd add to the other reviews is that the kitchen was wonderfully stocked, in both cookware and staples. There are lots of books and some games/crossword puzzles and free wi-fi. For tall folks, it may be useful to know that the ceilings are not very tall. The neighborhood was quiet but not quite as quiet as I'd hoped, especially over the weekend -- music playing, vacationers partying -- probably because we were there in high season; if you're looking for super quiet, you might want to look in a less residential context (or go off-season). Still, it was great to be in easy walking distance of the ferry, the grocery store, the library, bike/golf cart rentals... Sweet spot!

Allison's cottage was a great spot to stay for our first weekend in Portland. Allison was incredibly helpful when I had to change my reservation and responsive when I goofed up and couldn't find her welcome email (and I kept her up while she waited to hear back from me in Europe). The cottage was in a fantastic location, not far from the ferry, town, and ferry port. This is the perfect place if you want the experience of both Portland and coastal Maine. I only wish I would have had a few more days!

Cute and cozy home, perfect for a Fall weekend. The kitchen was well stocked which made cooking a delight. Our favorite thing was the Jacuzzi, just perfect for a slightly chilly night. Peak Island itself is beautiful and so fun to explore. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Great residence, super clean and the hosts were very easy to communicate with. They were very friendly and offered up a tour of the island - which I mighr have taken them up on if I hadn't ended up being much too busy! Place very convenient to the Inn and the ferry. A wonderful stay that was much too short!

Marjorie and Ken were the most wonderful hosts! If I could give them more than 5 stars, I really would. They went above and beyond everything we expected, their house was exceptionally clean and welcoming with a gorgeous view. We really did feel like we were visiting true friends during our time on the island by the way we were treated! You will definitely not be disappointed if you decide to stay with them :)

Margorie and Ken were delightful and caring hosts. We were so impressed that they genuinely wanted to make our stay as pleasant and relaxing as possible. Even when our biking plans were rained out Ken and Marjorie offered to give us an island tour.

Margie and Ken went out of their way to make us feel welcome while also giving us our own space. They have any amazing, charming home on Peaks Island. The ferry is a short walk away. This was a trip to Maine and Peaks Isalnd that we won't soon forget.

When owners are there you are able to hear all of their conversations and phone calls taking place in the room at the top of the stairs. There is not a door between the floor guests stay in and the next floor where the owners live.

Marjorie and her husband were so kind. They have a great place on the island with a wonderful view of the sunset over Portland. We highly recommend them!

Aaiyn's house is extraordinarily beautiful. At first, I was a little taken aback by the 'open door' policy. I didn't get a key and was assured through a welcome letter inside the front door that that was safe. I live in a major East Coast city, where we lock every door, so I had to acclimate a bit. But that didn't take long at all. The location is perfect. The view from the porch is unbelievable (perfect for reading a book and catching the sunset; those photos can't do it justice). I didn't meet Aaiyn in person during my one-night stay but her presence was there through all of the generous offerings-- available bikes, granola, fruit, wine, cold water with lemon. There are three bedrooms, so if you rent one, be prepared to be sharing the house with other guests. This was far from an inconvenience. As a solo traveller, I had plenty of alone time exploring the island during the day and some quiet time on the porch. Then I made fast friends with some other guests, travellers from New Jersey, who were absolutely delightful company. It was a fantastic stay. Next time I'm in Peaks, I won't hesitate to stay here.

The house was beautiful, had everything we needed, and Aaiyn was very responsive. Thank you!

Aaiyn was available to provide great details about the Island and also allowed me plenty of privacy as well. She also provided first come, first served use of bicycles, which is my preferred form or travel. The house was just as the pictures showed. The sunsets were magical.

Aaiyn was very communicative and provided us will all the information we needed for the stay before and during our arrival. We were only on Peaks for a very short time and didn't have a chance to meet her in person but spoke to her on the phone before we arrived and she left us a note at the door. We felt very welcomed and the house was lovely! Peaks is a very special place and I'd love to return.

Aaiyn greeted us with a wonderful smile! She offered us lemon water and a chance to sit and rest on her beautiful porch with a beautiful view. We were taken on a tour of the house and where we would be sleeping, etc. She was kind enough to offer us use of her bicycles. A gorgeous location/atmosphere.

What a great space and location. Thanks for your hospitality Aaiyn. Jay and Kasey

She was wonderful in every way.

Aaiyn is soothing to be around and so personal. She is a lovely woman and is present if you need her to be. Her home is magical and a great place to rest during your stay on this beautiful island.

It was the first time we stay in a room .we have always done small houses or apartments. She was wonderful did not bother us but made herself available if we needed her.gave us a map of the island on where to go and what to do.place was nicely decorated .we would stay there again if we were ever in Peaks.

Liz was very welcoming and responsive with all the necessary info

This house is amazing. It's located on the backside of peaks island. It's a bit difficult to get to but the location is amazing. It's a beautiful house. My living quarters were completely separated from the rest of the house, with my own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room. And Liz was fantastic. Very helpful and very easy to reach anytime I needed her. She was genuinely happy to help me with anything I needed.

Liz was very nice and accommodating! The location of her house is tucked away on the further side of the island which I think is the more scenic side. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

This place is wonderful, relaxing, clean, and much bigger than we anticipated. The house is on the backside of Peaks Island and can be tough to find if you aren't paying attention but we found it on foot in the dark thanks to Liz's very helpful directions! Unfortunately we never met personally but Liz was very easy to reach and super helpful in every aspect. Highly recommend a stay!

Great place to stay on Peaks Island. The private apartment is on the first floor of the home pictured. Separate entrance with a kitchenette (microwave, sink, mini-fridge, coffeemaker) and small bathroom (stall shower). Large living space. Liz was a great host, very hospitable and with great communication. Because the hosts live above the apartment, we could hear them going about daily activities but it was not before 7:30 am and it was normal noise, not intrusive. We were able to watch the sunrise since the house is so close to the ocean on the east side of the island! Absolutely great price for staying on Peaks Island in private quarters.

Liz was fantastic! She was available if needed but gave us our space. The space was perfect - had a common area for sitting/relaxing and a separate bedroom with private bath as well as a little kitchenette. This was my first time to Peaks, it's a small but wonderful place however, if you're looking to walk to downtown, might be a little far but totally doable. Would definitely go back, it was truly a relaxing oasis perfect for a single person but even better for a couple. And, pet friendly!

Thanks so much to Liz! She was very attentive and sweet. She helped us with directions and details, and kindly offered an extension of our stay if needed. The location was heavenly! We'd love to come back!

The house is very cozy. the beds were comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer. The place is in a quiet area, but well within walking distance to the store or the ferry. Thanks Maureen

This cottage on Peak's Island was perfect for a wedding weekend. The spacious house is within walking distance from the Ferry and shops on the Island. Not that the island is very busy, but this house was just a little set back, and was perfectly quiet at night. Although there is one designated parking spot, we did not find it difficult to park the additional car on this very quiet unpaved road. Maureen provided perfect instructions on how to check in and clear instructions on how to leave the house at the end. I would certainly recommend this Maureen and her cottage to friends looking to spend a long weekend on island.

Once we arrived, Maureen was very helpful if we needed anything. House is very cute, in a wonderful location, on an amazing little island!

Maureen promptly answered all our questions and helped us navigate things while staying there.

Maureen's house was exactly what we were looking for, for our family of five on the island. A great value and comfortable space. We really enjoyed our stay!

Maureen sent an email the night before check in which was very helpful. I was so happy to be able to rent the space for less than seven nights! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We love the house and Peaks Island. We hope to return next year!!

We had a great experience at this house on Peak's Island. Maureen was very responsive and informative. The space was bigger than expected based on the photos and very cute. The house is a 10 minute walk from the ferry and shops.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maureen's cottage on Peak's Island. The cottage is exactly as described and well appointed for all needs. The cottage is a 10 minute walk from the ferry, 5 min to the market, 5min to rent bicycles. Really just easily accessible to all points on island and ferry. Maureen is very responsive, accessible and helpful with any questions we had prior to arrival and once on property.

The cabin was exactly what we were hoping for! Relaxing and comfortable. There were lovely wild flowers and lilacs waiting for us through ought the cabin and the linens were crisp and fresh. A wonderful retreat for an amazing price!

Lovely, quaint cottage close to ferry. It had rustic charm. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to experience life on Peaks island.

We had a great stay at this cottage and enjoyed walking to the nearby ocean shore and exploring the island.

Susan responded quickly to our last minute booking. She made the check in really easy. It was a good sized place with a lot of privacy. The bed was uncomfortable and the cleaning and service fees were way too high.

Felt very welcome and it was a lovely stay

This is a lovely, rustic cottage on the backshore of Peaks Island. It was abundantly stocked with sheets, comforters, pillows and towels, cooking implements and WiFi, which was good, because cell phone coverage on the island is spotty. Our party of six used both the bedrooms and the sleeping porch and found the beds and ventilation comfortable. There was a minor plumbing issue during our stay, and although our host was off-island, she responded to a text quickly and had a jovial and informative handyman there by morning to replace the cracked connector on the kitchen sink drain. If you aren't friendly when you get to Peaks Island, you get that way fast. Although we were newbies, we had no trouble finding out from the locals how everything worked, from which of the many beaches were best for the kids at various times and tides, to the procedure for renting a golf cart - a fun luxury at $120 a day or $25 per hour. The electric carts are pleasant because they are quiet and don't smell like a lawnmower, but the one we had didn't keep a charge for long (there was a sturdy charging cord in the basement of the cottage, but it takes longer to charge the battery than it does to run it down) and it didn't have a headlight. It was the only one available because it was a busy weekend on the island, and even with a reservation, the rental places are kind of first-come, first-served. Before sunset, one of us waited around and was able to trade it in for a noisier gas-powered cart with a headlight so we could explore the rocky beaches on the back shore under the light of the full moon without worrying about running out of juice. It's a great island for walking, biking and exploring by cart. There was a washer and dryer in the unfinished basement, which was handy, as well as adequate brooms, mops, cleaning supplies and a vacuum so we could keep things tidy with kids and dog coming and going from the beach. There was a good supply of septic friendly toilet paper and some rudimentary spices on hand. I would suggest bringing plenty of your own paper towels, garbage bags and toiletries, as well as the bulk of the food and beverage you will need. There is an on-island market for milk, eggs, veggies and such, but the prices are higher and the selection is limited. Two of our party enjoyed a morning ferry ride to Portland in the middle of our stay for fresh seafood from Harbor Fish Market and a dozen Holy Donuts. We were there in mid-August and there were very few mosquitoes or flies. There is a fireplace, which we didn't use because the nights weren't cool enough. If you do use it, I think you can buy wood on the island at both the market and the hardware store near the ferry.

Beautiful secluded space that's still close to everything the island and Portland have to offer! We especially loved the shaded deck, fully equipped kitchen, extensive library, in-house laundry, and outdoor shower. Susan was proactive and responsive in her communications and flexible in allowing schedule modifications. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately a very bad experience. The house was filthy and messy upon arrival. The listing states 3 bedrooms, and it only has two (plus a porch with foam pads). Susan was responsive to our concerns, and we agreed to the price, but it is very low standards for the expense on Peaks Island, and we've rented a half dozen places here. An OK place for half the cost.

909 was perfect. Susan was great and we will keep this address as a 'go to' the next time we're on Peak's. Susan's responsiveness was excellent.

We had a wonderful weekend at Susan's place! It was secluded enough to feel like a getaway, but close enough to the mainland for day trips to Portland. The island is beautiful and the people there were very kind and welcoming. The house was clean, charming, and equipped with almost everything we needed. It did get chilly at night but plenty of blankets were provided for us to use. We didn't meet Susan but she was extremely helpful and accommodating while we were making our reservations. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking to get away for the weekend in Maine!

we loved the house and the island.

Great trip on Peaks Island! This lovely home is walkable to the Ferry and local shops. Even on chilly nights we were comfortable not bringing a car on the island. The house came with everything we needed. Martha and David communicated with us before and after our stay. They were very lovely hosts.

Everything was really easy and organized very well! We were able to be flexible with our arrival time and had everything we needed for a quiet, outdoorsy weekend.

This charming house is an easy walk from the ferry and a lovely, quiet beach. The house itself is ADORABLE and whimsical, very clean and 100% well-appointed. Wonderful beds, towels, and a ton of space to spread out. We loved our stay and greatly appreciated Martha and David's hospitality!

Martha made us feel very welcome in their home. She promptly replied to my questions and the pictures on the website accurately portrayed the comfort and beauty of their home.

It was absolutely great to stay at Ted's Place. Ted is a fantastic host and is able to integrate you in the island life if you want to - and trust me it's worth it. He took us to the outback where we collected mussels in a place that he showed us. Peaks island is a fantastic plac and very relaxing itself. We definitely wil return!

We had a wonderful experience at Teds. He is super accommodating - provides bikes and a canoe as well as helped us get our bags to and from the ferry. The house itself is a work in progress so there is stuff ... everywhere. But that's part of the charm and it's still very relaxing and feels wide open. We stayed in the Cuba Room which has the most street noise but still not much. The room is small and full of knickknacks and has a sink and a nice soft bed with a mirror at the headboard ;). Ted is about as knowledgeable about Peaks as you can get and always fun and engaging. Anyway Peaks is a great spot for a short holiday and this place ricks! We'll be back!

Ted was an excellent host. Although we only stayed for two nights, we made the most of both Peaks Island and Portland, and much of that was due to Ted's willingness to help and his awesome recommendations. Peaks Island is a beautiful place, and Ted's home is a rare gem that is both cozy and fascinating. I hope to go back one of these days.

Ted was easy to communicate with us and called us before our trip to see if there was anything we needed. He gave us directions for free/cheap parking, ideas for restaurants, and spots to visit. His house was everything he described. We stayed in the Cuba Room and it was very clean. We were very pleased with the accommodations and with Ted's hosting. Peaks Island is a beautiful place. We loved staying outside of the city; however, Ted's house was close enough that we could walk to the ferry to enjoy all that Portland had to offer.

Ted was incredibly warm and welcoming! He always had a great story to share and a smile to offer. His place is like walking back in time. Check out the meditation room!

My boyfriend and I stayed on Peaks Island over Columbus weekend. It was just what we expected - serene, beautiful beaches, clear air, and the sea blue as emerald. The color of the room was somewhat different from the picture, but pretty nevertheless - it was mostly crimson and mauve, and looked very nice at night. in the morning light came through bamboo curtains and woke us up, and we could see perfectly well people jogging on the path outside the window, which didn't bother me, but i can imagine it might make some more private people a little uncomfortable.

I had a lovely time staying at Ted's. He is a great and friendly host and made sure I had everything I needed. The tower in the house has a great view of the water and I made sure to have my coffee up there each morning. You get a great breeze in the room so there is no need to be worried about not having AC. The walk from the ferry is about 20 minutes but a really nice walk down the main street or off the water. Ted also has bikes in case you want to borrow them. All in all great time.

Ted was very kind to pick us up from the ferry and take us on a very special tour of Peaks Island at sunset. This was such a great start to a wonderful weekend on the island. The bed and room were very comfortable, and the house was remarkable- go and see what he's done with the place! We had some nice conversations and he gave us plenty of good tips and interesting info about the island. Two days weren't enough- we want to come back!

My husband and I, along with our good friends loved David's house and Eaks Island so much we extended our stay by a day and even then, did not want to leave. This house is beautiful & tranquil & the views from the floor to second story windows are exquisite! The island is very quiet & relaxing. We got around by foot and for us, it was perfect. The ferry ride into Portland is quick and a great option if we want to spend some time in a city with more action. I would go back again and again. I miss it already.

Loved the house! We were a little nervous about visiting Portland while staying on Peaks but it was the perfect retreat. The views are fantastic and the accommodations were perfect for our group of five. David's house has great style and the kitchen is well equipped. The dishwasher was broken last minute which was a bit of a hassle for big dinners but worked out fine. Would recommend and hope to come back again.

Wonderful location. Beautiful property with incredible views of the Atlantic.

The setting, the views, the sound of the surf beating against the shore, the tasteful modern yet cozy decor were all sublime! David was extremely responsive to all of our questions and even arranged to have a hair dryer delivered. He is in the process of setting up the house and while we had all we needed, were are certain that by summer's end it will be more fully equipped. We were really impressed by the broad selection of new and interesting books in the library. Great sound system. We definitely hope to return.

David's home on Peaks Island is the perfect place for some rest and relaxation. The house is very clean and provides some of the best views on the island. The location is just perfect. David has been extremely accommodating and responsive to any messages and we can't wait to go back!

The house is beautiful, modern with spectacular ocean views. The fully equipped kitchen is appreciated. The beds are very comfortable. The sunrise is gorgeous from the house. The sunset is stunning from the pier! The home is situated on the quiet side of the island which was very relaxing. We walked along the rocky beach by the house to rock hunt and visited battery steele around the corner. Recommend renting a bike ,golf cart, or bringing a car via the car ferry. The host is very accommodating and answered all my questions quickly. The TV set up was an Apple TV which I couldn't figure out but my 14 year old niece could! Lol.

David's home is lovely and well appointed. A great find on Peak's Island. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful space overlooking a rocky beach. Enjoyed the views, the house and the island immensely.

Aaiyn was a gracious host who went out of her way to do thoughtful things like bringing a few bikes out for our use and having candles lit in the beautiful living room, open to the garden at night.

Patricia and I had a very pleasant time and all of our needs were taken care of. Peaks Island is a wonderful place to visit and this house is very close to ferry which is very convenient.

Warm and welcoming. A beautiful home filled with books, art, and heart. Wish we could have stayed on the porch breathing that Peaks Island air, looking out at the harbor, and sipping coffee and tea all morning but the short walk to the ferry called. Aaiyn made our first Airbnb experience one that we would love to repeat!

Aaiyn was an incredibly gracious host and her home looking out over the water is beautiful. Before our stay, she gave us great intel on the Portland dining scene and parking close to the ferry. Once we arrived at Peaks Island, Aaiyn welcomed us with tea, wine, and chocolates. Couldn't have asked for a more relaxing experience and can't wait to return for a longer trip!

I had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful, warm,peaceful and very welcoming!! Aaiyn goes out of her way to give her guests the comforts of home with the added bonus of being on a getaway! The island was wonderful my only regret is that I wasn't there longer! Can't wait to get back!!

From the moment I stepped off the ferry onto Peaks Island for the very first time, I just smiled and knew it would be a great getaway. This small island community is delightful! You can enjoy natural beauty in the land and seascapes by bicycling, walking or renting a golf cart. A couple of gift shops, ice cream shop and breakfast cafe is all you need to just breathe and relax. This Airbnb is a short walk from the ferry. Our hostess Aaiyn made us feel welcome from beginning to end. The bed was sooooo comfortable. We were welcome to fresh mint water, juice, nuts, fruits dried and fresh, cheeses wine and liquors. Coffee and teas. A beautiful home filled with books, artifacts from around the world and a piano to listen to or play. Fresh flowers and a smile everyday. If you like ease, comfort and peace, Aaiyn's airbnb is for you.

Our 2 night stay at Aaiyn's home was wonderful. She really took care of us and made us feel welcome the entire time. Her home is beautiful and the island is very nice. Make sure you spend some time on her porch!

This was my first Airbnb experience and I'm happy to say that it was a great success! Aaiyn's home was an artistic nature-filled sanctuary. We were able to enjoy her lovely living room, porch, two bathrooms (with a glorious tub we used every night), and our cute natural lit bedroom. She leaves out tea, coffee, and water all day in the living room. Peaks island offers a quiet retreat from city life; I felt refreshed and renewed after our stay! Aaiyn puts a lot of thought into her recommendations and care for her guests--her welcome note shared what we needed to know in order to get the most out of our stay. Peaks island is a 20 minute ferry from the Casco Bay Terminal. Everything on the island and in the city of Portland is accessible by bike and you could walk to most parts as well. I would note two things: 1. Your bedroom is next door to the other guest's room, but we rarely saw the other couple and were never in each other's way. 2. Portland is very laid back, dress comfortably and enjoy!
