A Gem of Solitude and The Enchantment of Diamond Cove Island, Maine
If you live in a world of running around to the next meeting, getting kids to practice, and watching life slip by in traffic there exists a hidden gem called Diamond Cove Island, nestled off the coast of Maine, to put all that stress and tension behind. It is a place of quiet enchantment, where the serenity of nature and the charm of all around creates a spell that draws people from all corners of the world.
Your journey will start with a ferry ride from Portland where your anticipation will become palpable. As "Diamond Cove" comes into view, it casts a spell on every soul aboard. The first sight of its rugged coastline and towering trees set the stage for a unique adventure.
Diamond Cove Island is a sanctuary for nature lovers, historical adventurers, and sea glass beach combers. If you are young or young at heart there is a pool, game room, indoor basketball court an authentic duck pin bowling for everyone to enjoy. However, the picture worth a thousand words and what never gets old is the feeling you get sitting on your deck, listening to the sounds of the ocean and watching the boats rolling in and out. You can watch the lobsterman picking up their traps or waive at the people rolling in for their own adveture, it just never gets old.
For those enchanted by history, the island's history as an early 1900s military base will fill your mind with wonderment. Beautifully restored barracks, officer homes and other structures tell with visual accuracy what it was like to live and serve on the island. For the true Indiana Jones at heart the forests have artifacts and bunkers to hunt for treasures. There is even a look out structure on the property you are renting where you can envision men with telescopes triangulating the firing distance to hit their target.
Once you see all these things combined you will have no question why famous artist came to capture the play of light on the cliffs, where writers found solace in the quaint cottages, and musicians drew melodies from the whispers of the sea. Creativity thrives here.
At days end the island's locally owned restaurants offer a taste of Maine's finest. From traditional fine Maine Dining at Diamonds Edge where you can elegantly dine on the lawn or on the deck overlooking the cove or the super cool Crown Jewel bringing eclectic island vibes with its culinary expertise. If brunch is your speed the Inn has a inviting indoor or outdoor area and a fire pit where drinks can be served to truly pamper you. If you need more choices just take the ferry or call a water taxi and you are in the heart of one of Portland where choices are endless.
When you leave Diamond Cove you will be left with memories of natural beauty, history, creativity, and the pure joy of a simpler, more profound way of life. It is a story that whispers to you in months and years following the island's timeless enchantment. We invite all looking for solace and wonder to experience its magic for themselves.

Summary: Our group of 7 truly enjoyed their stay at this home in Maine! Oliver really attended to every detail for us. Highly recommend!!
Judith Aug 22, 2024 08:39:38 AM
Summary: 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!

Hazel C. Aug 3, 2024 01:44:03 AM
Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.
