About this property
NEW LISTING ☼ Unique Oceanfront Home. Separate boat rental available.
Panoramic Oceanfront and island view direct sunrise. Nature preserves and hiking trail next door and nearby. Away from tourist traffic but convenient to restaurants, sailing club, shopping, etc.
Home was built in 2006. Immaculate with new furniture. Unique home with 36 windows throughout capitalizing on view from nearly every room.
Second floor has master bedroom and bath suite with tub and upstairs sitting area. Incredible views. Queen Sleeper in room downstairs with half bath. Third single bed convertible couch sleeping area. Oceanfront patio with gas grill connected to house propane tank.
Home receives Sebago Bay water from Portland which is excellent during warm weather. Refrigerated water cooler and water supplied. During the Winter/ cold months house is supplied with well water. It is salty and quite good for bathing. Too salty for drinking but entirely safe.
Peaks Island is one of dozens of Island situated in Casco Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the most accessible to Portland and the only one served with the Car Ferry. We believe it is one of the most beautify and definitely the most livable and convenient to Portland. Ferries run from Portland about every hour from approximately 6 a.m. to nearly midnight. There are hourly car ferries 7 days a week. The schedule varies day to day and depending on the month. The Ferry ride is extremely scenic and only 15 minutes on the water.
To reach the home take the car ferry with your vehicle or without. There is a very reliable Taxi service for 3 dollars a person to the house which meets every Ferry. You will have a scenic 2 mile drive to the property around Seashore Drive. Some like to rent a golf cart near the Ferry dock. Bicycles rentals are available near the dock. There are two for your use at the house as well.
The Casco Bay Ferry schedule is always posted on the Internet. Please call us whenever you need logitical or any further information.
Just to note. There are two standard Nest outside security cameras on the property viewing the Ocean conditions and the Street coming in. One is above the front door and the other, the oceanside sliding door. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
From the third week of October through the third week of May the city switches the water to well water. During this time dishes have to be manually washed with provided filtered water to avoid saltwater residue.

The property exceeded our expectations - such a beautiful spot, loved falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks! Place was very clean & we'll appointed - had everything we needed for our stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The view and the crashing ocean waves were stunning and so tranquil. The home was very clean and comfortable. Would love to go back to enjoy again!
Loved the house & views were more than exceptional!! My husband & I decided not to tour outside the island because of those magnificent views. The house is well appointed with everything we needed. Definitely will be returning.
Great views. Great vacation on Peaks Island, Maine. Highly recommend. Highly recommend house we stayed at. Owner very accommodating and easy to contact.
Such a stunning setting. Beautiful home right at the ocean. This home is truly a bright spot on the island of Peaks. We lounged in the sun on the back lawn looking out across a beautiful ocean.
The interior is fresh and the huge windows proved over and over again to draw to the ocean.
Maximum Refreshing Experience.
We loved our stay at Ocean Spray Rd, this house is beautiful and cosy, ( we stayed in late Autumn ) is is so well stocked, with every possible need met. From a fantastic range of hair care and skincare products, if I’d forgotten my own, to plentiful filtered water for our use. I just can’t find enough words to explain how perfect it is here, an absolute idyll, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, ( we started our journey in NYC, after travelling out from the UK )
We didn’t leave the island during our 4 night stay, with the views and the house being quite enough for our needs.
Book with Nikki for a wonderful vacation experience. Easy to access the property, and great communication should you need any help.
As many reviewers have said, this house has gorgeous views of the water - and a lovely patio outside to relax near the water. You have to go through the master bedroom to get to the full bathroom-which worked ok for us since there is a half bath downstairs. Just FYI - the bedroom downstairs is off the living room, and has sliding doors to the outside. We enjoyed the house and the island. There can be long waits for the car ferry to get on and off the island (3-hour wait on Monday morning)
The house was clean and well maintained. You cannot find a better view, located right on the water with stunning views, especially sunrises if you wake up early. We were traveling with two young kids and found the sleeping arrangements somewhat difficult for their ages (1&4). The second bedroom is off the living space with noise easily traveling. This made it difficult to spend much time in the living room after we put her to bed. We managed best parents can and would still return to this house.
This is a very attractive, well-furnished, clean, comfortable house. But what it's really all about is the view! And what a view! The house has been expertly designed with huge windows to take full advantage of the expanse of sky and rocks and water just feet away. Many of the windows, on all sides, are casement (i.e., crank-out), which allows you take full advantage of the heavenly breezes and the soothing sound of the waves hitting the rocks. Even the shower has a world-class, full-horizon view, with a crank-out window. As a matter of fact, this is the most spectacular shower, with the most spectacular view, I have ever seen. A true stunner!
If you are looking for a place to unwind, to commune with an incomparable Maine seascape, to sit quietly while contemplating sunlight on water and the sound of water hitting rocks, this is the place for you. It may just heal your soul.
If you want peaceful retreat and stunning views within easy access to " town" and Portland, this property is a great option. The house is well appointed and very clean, and the exterior of the property is well kept. It is on the quieter end of the island, perfectly situated for walks along the shore. We were a little concerned about making our desired ferry times, but we made sure to arrive 45 mins before our desired times, and did not have any issues. On the way there, we stopped at Rover Bagel in Biddeford (order online when about 1 hr away or you'll be waiting in line), then stopped at the food trucks at the Eastern Promenade in Portland. Vy Bahn Mi and Falafel Mafia were excellent! We made the 2:15 ferry, putting us on Peaks about 1 hr prior to check-in. Nikki responded immediately and positively when we texted to request early check-in. Friday we ordered pizzas from IL Leone on Island Ave, which were excellent! Sunday night, we ate at The Inn, which was also excellent. And what visit to Peaks is complete without a visit to the weird and wonderful Umbrella Cover Museum?
The location of this property is absolutely stunning. The ocean views are amazing, we saw multiple eagles, and Peaks Island is so peaceful. It was great that I could bring my dog, and check in was very easy.
Second time staying on peaks island and this beautiful home. We love the location and great private ocean access and views. The house has everything you need and Nikki had great communication with us. Thank you!
We had a short mishap after check-in, however, Nikki quickly fixed the situation. The location of the property is breathtaking. Wonderful home to stay, and we would visit again.
Everything was perfect: location, comfort and amenities.
The view are breath taking, access to to small strip of beach down the road for swimming, great bikes and outdoor chairs (super comfortable), ample seating areas, well stocked kitchen (I loved the tiny spoons and crushed ice) and even a washer and dryer. We look forward to returning.
