The cottage is on Peaks Island, one of the many small islands in Casco Bay, off of the coast of Portland. Once you take the twenty minute ferry ride to the island, you will find a relaxed atmosphere: you can enjoy the small sandy beaches, rent bikes or kayaks, or just walk around the island's three mile perimeter. In addition to a few restaurants, island attractions include a small art gallery, a grocery store, an ice cream shop, an adorable library, a playground, and some historic WWII battlements. If you'd like to see the sites in Portland, home to many fabulous restaurants, museums, and shops, just hop on the ferry and enjoy the change of pace the city offers. You can have the best of both worlds on Peaks Island.
