Boundless Charm
Amazing cottage on the sea nestled in cove on east side of island. Exceeded all expectations with spectacular ocean views from 3 sides of the house. The waves crashing on those Maine rocks is my ideal. Sam is a very responsive host and delight. Will be coming back! Quintessential Maine experience

About the host

Hosted by Sam Stuckart

Host profile image
We live in NH but spend as much time as possible on Peaks Island. We enjoy long walks along Seashore Ave., biking around the island's roads and trails, kayaking and fishing from kayaks, and relaxing in the afternoons and evenings on the lawn and on the rocks in front of the house.

Why they chose this property

Our house is in Spar Cove which is the quiet side of the island, away from the crowds. We see the most beautiful sunrises, I've included a lot of pictures but they don't do justice to the light and colors. The ocean looks different every day, but always beautiful. Initially we thought we would go into Portland more often, but have come to realize we love being where we are most of the time.

What makes this property unique

We are right on the water (no road between the house and the ocean), and the views, the sound of the waves, and the access to the "picnic rocks" right in front of the house make it a very unique property. The yard is so private and large enough for lawn games and family fun.
