Sea Glass - Peaks Island Backshore oceanfront cottage with stunning views!

If you enjoy sunrises over the ocean, the sound of crashing waves and distant buoys, picnics on the rocks by the water’s edge, and an incredible seaside view of sailboats, then you’ll love this 3-bedroom oceanfront cottage with private waterfront access!

Sea Glass is an oceanfront cottage that was cleaned, painted (interior) and refurnished in 2023 that sleeps seven people. It’s located directly on the water with no road between the house and the water. There’s a large private grass yard for playing games, seaside sunning, outside dining, or happy hour relaxation, while enjoying the ocean view.

The property also has a truly unique feature with it's own private oceanfront rock formation at the waters edge for an immersive experience as the tide goes in and out.
