Family-friendly vacation rentals in Peaks Island

What a perfect little getaway! Andy’s place is absolutely beautiful with so many nice little touches, especially for families. My two boys, ages 6 and 2, had such a blast in the pool and in the backyard. Andy had a big bin of toys in the living room that my little guys dug into as soon as we got there, such a nice touch to make kids feel at home. There was an abundance of clean towels for the bathrooms as well as the pool. The kitchen was very well equipped so that we were able to buy groceries and cook meals and have nice, hot coffee every morning. The home itself is beautiful and well thought out with bedrooms that are private and separate from the living space. I have to add that Andy was very easy to communicate with and always available and accommodating. Check in and check out was easy and seamless. The home is in a quiet, peaceful area with other beautiful homes and lots of privacy. A wonderful few days away. Would highly recommend, especially for families.

Sometimes photos just don't do the real thing justice, and this is the case with this property. The property and the views are truly spectacular! The home is huge and has everything you could ever need to live for a week or more. The porch, especially the screened in portion are magnificent and the hot tub was a perfect way to finish up a great day. We had so many plans to adventure out, but found ourselves wanting to stay and enjoy the pristine yard or just sit on the porch and enjoy each others company, we didn't want or need to leave. Having coffee and watching eagles fly by over the river was truly spectacular. Judy is one of the nicest, easiest hosts we have had the pleasure to work with and truly appreciates your patronage. And Hugh's journal on all things Graywood is a lifesaver. Not only would we return again, but we look forward to it.

David and Valle’s house is welcoming, and it was just right for our family get-together. The kitchen is very well set up for cooking, and the counter is both beautiful and a great place for gathering and conversation. There are many lovely touches in the house. We appreciated the yard and gardens, and our dog loved the walking trail. The location is peaceful but just a few minutes from Portland. David communicated well and offered helpful ideas for our visit.

Great location in town that was walkable to some terrific dining spots on main street. Enjoyed the backyard BBQ and patio for a lovely dinner outside as well as peaceful morning coffee. Sherry was very helpful in recommending the studio space for us and available throughout our stay. Will highly consider this spot for future vacations in Kennebunk area.

Meghan’s place was perfect for our family of four. A quick drive or bike to the beautiful beach; Woolf’s for fresh corn and pre-cooked lobster; Five Acre farm for freshly baked pies (love the honour pay system!). Also lots of amenities on the grounds to take advantage of (swimming, pool, tennis, pickle ball). Would happily stay at Meghan’s place again.

We had the most wonderful staying here! A peaceful and relaxing getaway is exactly what we needed, and exactly what we received. The hot tub was the perfect touch. We couldn’t recommend this place more! Can’t wait to go back!

A nice private cottage in a quiet community that was super handy for us to stay until we secured our house in New England. Everything is in place for comfortable living. We lived there for a month long and the hosts were always responsible.

The house was beautiful and worked perfectly for our group! Check in was very easy, and the house was spotless when we arrived. My favorite part it was the yard - perfect for a big barbecue with a large group.

We have stayed at Jackies place twice now and enjoyed it just as much this time as the last. Even though it rained for two days the house is plenty big enough to spread out. We had to change our reservation days twice because of circumstances and Jackie was very accomidating..

Our son, his girlfriend, my husband and I enjoyed staying at the cottage in late October 2024. The location was quite scenic as it overlooked Casco Bay, near Portland, ME. The host made suggestions that we followed (bringing firewood & blankets). The kitchen was equipped with utensils & coffeemakers. The neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed walking in the local preserve along the water and took advantage of visiting the Portland Museum of Art and eating at The Honey Paw, an Asian fusion restaurant.

Thoughtfully designed and appointed place - has all the things you need and Marcia makes it very easy to get in and check out. Easy to get to Lewiston, Brunswick, Portland and everywhere in between!

Perfect weekend retreat for a small family with a young one. Close to downtown, museum, and the firepit was so nice at night. 5 stars all around and will return in the future. Thanks Phillip!

A beautiful and cozy space with lovely natural light and generous room to spread out. The full kitchen is equipped like a real home, with everything from basic pots and pans to whisks and even nut crackers! A great place for cooking full meals. A nice quiet location, even with its relative proximity to a regularly-traveled road. I'm sensitive to noise and was never bothered by sounds of traffic. Pettengill Farm is only a few minutes up the road, a beautiful place to walk for both dogs and humans and really easy to access multiple times a day. Mandana was always very responsive to communication, and when there was a glitch with Airbnb's fee calculation she was extremely helpful and approachable and took care of it immediately.

Wonderful stay, the place was in a beautiful location, walkable to Wolfe’s Neck Farm where we love to walk. My husband and I were there the first few days, then our adult daughter joined us for two nights. The place is small (described accurately) but the three of us found it very workable. The king bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of outside patio space to lounge and soak up the sun when it was out. This was a work trip for us as we were getting a property in a nearby town ready for sale. We didn’t have time to use the provided kayaks but hope to in a future stay. The hosts very friendly and accommodating, highly recommended this property.

House and location worked for our family who was in Portland for a graduation. Parking for 3 cars was handy. Beach super close as was Scratch Bakery (yum).

Really really loved our stay at your place! And the interior decor was to die for! Super walkable, easy 15-20 minute walk down to the old port strip (shops and restaurants) great scenic overlook, coffee shops, and additional restaurants within the surrounding blocks. Nancy was proactive and gave clear instructions for check in, the stay, and check out. Would stay again!

Our stay at the beach house was great! You couldn't be closer to the water! So much fun kayaking, floating and swimming in the lake! House is much better than the pictures do it justice. For a 2 bedroom house its very big and spacious, beds were extremely comfortable. The no wifi was a little bit of a downer but there were plenty of board games to play. There is some street noise but not bad at all. Would most definitely recommend if you are looking for waterfront property. The access to the resort pool was a plus too for the kiddos!

This place had everything we needed. The view was spectacular! We really enjoyed seeing fireworks from the deck. The home was very clean, kitchen fully stocked. We loved hearing live music each day and night. So much walkable fun for the kids. We had a wonderful stay!

Christopher was a helpful host and his place was perfect! Clean, fully stocked, great location. It was close to lots of beaches and restaurants and the pool was great for the little ones

Perfect little spot on Frye Island! Great location, walking distance to our favorite beach on island as well as the general store. House was clean, comfortable, just as described. We enjoyed our stay!

Maryann is SUCH a treasure! She really is the hostess with the mostest! Gives great recommendations, homemade coffee and treats, and if you mention you like something, she might get it for you! Making this Philly girl a wannabe Maine resident! Couldn’t recommend more.

Home is very expansive with room for multiple families to reside together. Lots of games and activities for all ages. Amazing location within minutes to airport and short drive to downtown

My family and I had a awesome time enjoyed the quiet and relaxing days. Michael was very helpful and very quick responses to any questions we had.The cabin was very nice it felt like home was very comfortable slept very well. Everything about the cabin and the island was well worth going looking forward to going again in the future.

We had a lovely stay at James’ place! The hosts were very helpful and the area was beautiful. Would definitely recommend!
