Classic Island Cottage

My husband and I stayed for just one night with my brother and his wife in Tim and Jen's very cute cottage. It was very roomy and comfortable and exactly as pictured. Just a few caveats. We had some trouble communicating with Tim due to a glitch on the VRBO site. Once I contacted VRBO, that was resolved. Also, Tim sent us a separate contract, which was somewhat confusing, but which we wound up not having to sign. The cottage is about a 10-minute walk from the ferry, up a mostly dirt road. Fortunately, a friend brought our luggage on golf cart or we might have had a little trouble getting it to the cottage. There is a shorter path between houses which leads down to the main road, but there is a big boulder across it which is slippery when wet, as it was when we were there. That being said, we loved the cottage, Tim was extremely nice and responsive, and we would definitely stay again when we are on Peaks, which is a beautiful place.

Tim was great to deal with. He made an emergency call to peaks island fuel company, and quickly resolved an issue at the start of Memorial Day weekend. We had a great time

The house was very clean and simple, such an amazing stay on Peaks!

Wonderful cottage, Tim was super responsive when I had any questions, recieved a welcome letter months ahead of time with all kinds of useful tips about the ferry/navigating the island/ checkout/ sheet rental etc. Tip: in off season the car ferry doesn't run after 530pm mondays/Tuesdays so plan accordingly! There was baby gates for the stairs, Legos, childrens books, a highchair, playpen, games, books. The cottage is thoughtfully and comfortably decorated with lots of cozy nooks for its size but simple enough that I didn't have to worry about my 1 and 3 yr olds constantly knocking something over. Highly recommend for families and enjoyed our stay! The grocery store closes at 6 but had a great selection and really good pizza (Thursday night deals) The cottage doesn't have a sea view but is very conveniently located. The bathroom is actually a comfortable size w a nice warm shower and functional curtain. Neighbors were very quiet while we were there. Renting beach towels with a local business Tim connected us to was very simple/straight forward. Would stay again:)
