From our last guest (October (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) who got married on Peaks Island: “My husband and I were married on Peaks and rented Paula’s home for members in our bridal party. Libby Cottage is absolutely charming, has plenty of room to accommodate, and a beautiful porch where we spent a great deal of our time enjoying the island evenings. Paula was super! She even contacted us a few days prior to our stay and asked if there was anything she could do to make our weekend memorable. We have already recommended Libby Cottage to friends looking to stay on Peaks in the near future! “ We live in the neighborhood can be contacted or can drop by if needed. Our neighborhood is quiet and friendly and and a two minute walk in either direction to plenty of beaches and walks along ocean or the many walking trails through the island interior.
