We absolutely loved our time at this house in Diamond Cove on Great Diamond Island. The house was perfect for our family of five and the water views and proximity to Sea Glass Beach made for perfect days. We also enjoyed dinner at the two island restaurants over the weekend nights and went into Portland once for lunch and once for dinner. The ferry was super easy, though taking the water taxi back at night after dinner in town was also a highlight. Super easy to get to the ferry port from the hotel and also to have groceries delivered to the port and brought over the island. The hosts were super communicative and checked in throughout to make sure everything was going smoothly. Highly recommend visiting!

Incredible Stay!

We loved staying on Great Diamond Island. Such a beautiful and serene respite. Oliver was amazing at helping us get everything situated on the front end. And his lovely home worked perfectly for our group of 7. We explored the island, ate great food (Crown Jewel was a hit!!), and made a few trips into Portland. The hot tub was a great way to wind down each night.

What a fantastic vacation in Diamond Cove! Oliver’s house is gorgeous with an amazing location, views and top notch technology. The community is just perfect - isolated on a no-car island, yet just 15 minutes into Portland. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time and will definitely want to come back. Oliver was such a gracious host - even picked us up on his boat in Portland so we skipped the ferry. Amazing in every way!

Gorgeous Property/Attentive Owners

The ideal place to kick off your shoes and relax. The golf cart was key to enjoying the property fully. Lots of trails to explore. The small beaches are typically Maine, rocky but enjoyable. The house is set up well with all you need to cook. Once you figure it out, Instacart makes grocery delivery easy. The concierges are responsive. 10/10 overall! Thank you!

Diamond Cove-Portland Maine

The home and surroundings were beautiful. The historical setting, community pool, bowling alley, trails and Seaglass Beach kept us busy. Our biking, walking and golf cart explorations were such fun. At other times, sitting outside and watching the ferries come and go or enjoying the hot tub was all we needed. The four-year-old loved the trampoline! Our host was very responsive to any questions we had. We can see ourselves returning to the island in the future.

Worth a visit, worth a lifetime…

Let’s begin and end with the spectacular view and all the wonderful things in between. 1) Responsive and thoughtful host. He met us upon arrival to orient us to the island and house. 2) Comfortable and clean rooms. 3) Well stocked kitchen! We hosted a lobster boil with 10 people and 26 lobsters delivered to the dock thanks to the host. 4) State of the Art lights, shades and TV; strong wi-fi. 5) Hot tub! 6) Crown Jewel restaurant is a gem! 7) Explore the beaches, trails and sandbar to Little Diamond… I can go on forever so in summary, we’ll be back!
