Amazing Ocean View Summer Cottage Rental w/Boat Mooring on Great Diamond Island | House in Great Diamond Island
4 Bedroom House in Portland, Great Diamond Island
Vacation summer house on Great Diamond Island, with a boat mooring.
Our 4 bedroom house sports a grand view of Casco Bay because of its proximity to the shoreline. The panoramic west view provides an unobstructed view of the sunset to the horizon every night. The house is an original home built in 1901 that has retained its antique camp style interior. This is not a modern house, as it is 120 years old. There is no air conditioning nor heating. The island normally sports a nice summertime onshore breeze that keeps the house comfortable.
The wrap around porch has a picnic table for outdoor eating and a hammock for relaxing. A propane bbq for outdoor cooking. There are two upper level balconies expanding two of the upstairs bedrooms. Perfect reading nooks. The large sunny yard is perfect for playing wiffle ball, frisbee, swinging on the tire swing, and sun bathing.
Beach access is quick and easy right down from the front yard. There is a rock reef just off shore that provides comfortable protected swimming at mid tides as the water is warmed in the sunny afternoons. Take the included kayaks out for some exploration.
If you bring your own boat then you can use the included mooring ball. There is dock at at the south end of the island to load and unload guests and supplies. There are numerous islands and destinations that can be explored with your boat. I provide a list of suggestions of islands and restaurants to visit by boat.
Bicycles are included if you care to ride the island. At low tide you can ride across the sand bar to Little Diamond Island to explore that island as well. Pets are welcome. Rainy days can be filled by trying any of the numerous board games stashed in the game cabinet, or relax while streaming a movie on the flat screen TV. Fiber cable internet wifi is included.
Portland is a 20 minute ferry ride. Casco Bay ferries provide numerous round trips each day to Portland and surrounding islands.
There are two restaurants on the island. There are no food stores nor retail shops, so you will need to bring your food or have it shipped to the island for your stay. I provide instructions on how to accomplish this easily. The fully equipped kitchen includes a microwave and dishwasher. A propane bbq is available outside.
We include an easy to use electric golf cart to transport your food and luggage from the ferry dock to the house.
A RESERVATION LENGTH MORE THAN 7 nights requires pre-approval.
