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. \----------------------- (City of Portland Permitting & Inspections Short Term Rental License Number: STHR-003893-2022) Keywords: summer house, summer cottage, vacation house, island house, GDI, Great Diamond Island, Great Diamond Rental, rental house, rental, vacation house, vacation house for rent, for rent, oceanfront, ocean view, island, island front, mooring, 4 bedroom, maine, maine vacation rental, maine rental, Portland, Casco Bay, boat ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Bicycles - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68150000/68148900/68148849/w1564h1125x436y0-36401e9c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Back yard paradise Portland - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=68148849&PinnedHotelID=68148849&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88920000/88913400/88913369/46d27a11.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious island home on the water, 30 minute ferry ride from Portland Maine Portland - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=88913369&PinnedHotelID=88913369&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114760000/114759800/114759738/319b45b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 4-bedroom house located in the heart of Portland, ME.
