About this property

Island living close to the city of Portland by ferry. This spot is perfect for enjoying city life as well as enjoying a relaxing island vacation. Rustic shingle style home built for the Mayor of Portland as a summer getaway in 1898. House has 6 bedrooms, 2 modern baths with modern kitchen and spacious interior/exterior spaces. Exquisite woodwork and architectural details make this home special. Dual living rooms, formal dining room and multiple first and second floor porches give you many choices for solitude or family time. Beautiful grounds are a short walk to a clay tennis court, playground and beaches. Great Diamond Island is a short ferry ride from the Old Port, the heart of Portland ME. Home is a short walk to the other side of the island to Diamond Cove which has two restaurants/bars during July and August. Enjoy beautiful sunsets from the beach or sunrises from the state pier. You may enjoying exploring the sandbar, dock jumping, kayaking, island strolls or reading and relaxing on one of the many porches. The city of Portland is a 20 minute ferry ride away where you can walk to hundreds of 5 star restaurants. You can also take the ferry to other islands (many at no cost). Long Island is a favorite with a white sand beach and restaurant’s. I love meeting new people and enjoy answering questions and helping you make the most of your stay!

This place is great

Judy was awesome, she was more than helpful and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for more. The house is unique and way bigger than we expected. We had a great time and couldn’t have asked for a better host or house! Thanks Judy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Idyllic setting

A true getaway in Maine!! We enjoyed a picture perfect week on Great Diamond Island. Judy was a wonderful host and made sure our stay was great from start to finish. The island was beautiful and really made us feel like we left the world behind. We can’t wait for a return trip!

About the host

Hosted by Judy Sedgewick

I live in MA in the winter and ME in the summer and love the Portland area. I am happy to answer questions about the area and to help you plan adventures during your stay. I have spent most summers of my life on this island and love the friendly community and scenic Maine coast. I also love being so close to the city of Portland which has so much to offer.

Why they chose this property

A vacation home you will never forget is located in the city of Portland as well as on a small island off the coast! Laid back island life or city vibe at your finger tips. The boat rides, the sunsets, the night skies, formal dinners in the dining room and coffee and cocktails on the porch are some of the memories you will take with you after a stay with us.

What makes this property unique

Ferry to the Old Port from the Great Diamond dock on Casco Bay Lines which runs approximately 10 trips per day to the City. It is not necessary to bring a car to Maine and if you are flying in there is no need to rent one. If you do bring your car, you will park it in Portland and ferry out to the island.
