This unique coast is ideal for those who appreciate the sun's warmth on their skin, the thrill of exploring tidal pools, fishing off of Whaleback rock, hunting for jewel-like seaglass, or the simple joy of a seaside stroll or picnic on the rocks.
Experience Peaks Island
Located just across from Whaleback, a well-known natural landmark, and next to a unique WWII bunker, Ocean House situates you in a world of history and natural beauty. With easy access to Portland via a 15-minute ferry ride, explore the best of both worlds: the seclusion of island life and the vibrancy of city culture.
Ocean House isn't just a place to stay; it's where life's pace slows, and the simple joys are savored and beautiful memories are made. It's "Maine: The Way Life Should Be.”

Summary: We feel very fortunate to have been able to spend the last week of August in Ocean House. The house is in a wonderful location on the back shore with AMAZING views of the Casco Bay! We've been to Peaks Island several times in the past and one of my kiddos' favorite pastimes is climbing on the rocks along the coast. The house's location across from Whaleback rock was absolutely perfect, and they climbed down and around the rocks every day of vacay! The house itself is immaculately kept and includes every possible thing you could need while on vacation all of which is thoughtfully labeled and easy to find. The layout was perfect for our extended family which included my husband's 80+ year old parents and our 2 young daughters. The grandparents and children took the first floor bedrooms which had easy access to the kitchen, living/dining room area and covered and open porches. Sarah, the host, was always available, responded quickly, and was SUPER helpful with any potential needs. We hope to be able to return to Ocean House for years to come!
