Property was beautiful, large family we utilized all sleeping areas and had a wonderful stay. We arrived fairly early hoping to utilize the beach before entering seeing as we missed any traffic and the owner was very friendly and accommodating for us. Would definitely recommend for large groups looking for a relaxing stay.

Perfect for a family reunion!

Peekytoe Cottage was absolutely perfect for our Thanksgiving family reunion! The location is to die for, the carriage house was ideal for the teenage cousins to have their own space, and the kitchen was the best-appointed one I’ve ever seen in a rental. Also appreciated was the first floor bedrooms for folks who needed to avoid stairs. We had a wonderful time!

Another Wonderful Stay!

We just returned from our second stay at this beautiful ocean house, and it was just as fantastic as we remembered! The views are breathtaking, and the house is perfectly equipped for family gatherings. We enjoyed the beach, cozy evenings by the fire, and exploring the nearby sights. The location is ideal, providing both tranquility and access to local attractions. The property manager was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to return next year for another memorable Columbus Day weekend! Highly recommend!

Wonderful!

We could not have asked for a better place to introduce my husbands side of the family to Maine. Great location, we loved the view and loved being able to hear the waves from most of the rooms in the house. We loved sitting on the beach, sharing meals at the big table, and spending evenings by the fire pit. The host was great as well, any questions were answered right away, fastest response from any VRBO host we’ve ever had. We hope to stay again, highly recommend!

Perfect Location and Accomodation

My friends and I spent a weekend at the beachfront property for a bachelorette and the place was perfect! Everyone kept asking how we found this place because it had everything you needed and more. The beach is directly behind the property and you can visit the Old Orchard Pier just 10 minutes down the road. The property owner left notes around the house with instructions and wifi information which was super helpful. The garage even had beach toys and chairs. One of the nights we had a hibachi vendor come to cook for us in the backyard. Having the 3 tables already in the backyard made it super easy to accomodate everyone for dinner. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking. As an FYI, there are about 4 parking spots in the driveway with one on the street. We've been told there are side streets you can park on as well.

Large family vacation

The house was great for us. We utilized every bedroom and sleeping space. The view and the sound of the ocean was awesome. The beach was mostly quiet and we had many fires in the fire pit. The kitchen was well equipped. The two double beds on the second floor were a little challenging because you had to walk through to get to the third floor and we kept waking people up but we got around it.

Multi-family vacation

We had an amazing stay with 5 families at this beach house! The house fit us all very comfortably and all 10 kids had the best time exploring the beach, the backyard, and the neighborhood. The house is at the end of a dead end street and was perfect for biking and scooter riding! The kids all loved riding over to the general store right around the corner to get candy and ice cream. Would highly recommend this house and would definitely come again :).

Family Reunion

The property was a great location right on the ocean. Great for a group of our 11 who stayed there. The only issue for us was a that no bathroom towels or bed linens are provided. It was noted in the details but you really had to search for it and we missed it in our review. So we were significantly surprised when we got there and had to run to a WalMart store to buy towels, washcloths, bed linens etc before we could stay there. I would highly suggest to the manager that they note this in a more prominent location in their listing so others don’t get the same surprise we had. Otherwise our group enjoyed the stay, enjoyed the sunrises in the early morning, the fire pit was a great plus and being able to walk outside to the beach was magnificent. Plenty of room inside for everyone to gather and visit..

Gorgeous + relaxing mini vaca!

What a beautiful property.. We have been going to Maine for a annual family trip for about 25 years and as our family has gotten bigger, we get more cramped on our vacations.. Not here! At one point there were 18 of us at the house and not once did we feel cramped. We hope to rent again next year if the house is still available. Also, Nick, the property manager, was always extremely helpful and answered very quickly when we needed him. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing Location and An Overall Nice Place

We stayed here with 10 children and 8 adults and never felt cramped. The yard and the proximity to the beach are what made our stay. Plenty of room for the kids to play and it was about 40-50 feet to get to get to the ocean.

Fantastic location for families with young kids!

We had such a great time with our kids and grandkids! The perfect location for the kids to play right out front of the house in the sand if we don’t want to go down to the beach and then just steps down to the beach. We thought there would be a problem with beach access because the property next to us was a private beach but you have access to anything below the high tide line and then there’s a public beach literally steps on the other side. The fire pit was a must for us as we love sitting around it to relax in the evening. There was plenty of room for all of us and the addition of air-conditioning last year was a huge plus! The memories created will last a lifetime! The property has everything you need for a fun filled week! Nick was very responsive to our needs Would highly recommend this property!
