Elegant and efficient Island home 4 miles from downtown Portland

A beautiful, elegant, and relaxing property on an island with all that Maine living should be, and only a 15 minute Fogg taxi ride from Portland. Explore the beaches, forts, and batteries. Kayak, bike, fish, or sit on the porch with your beverage of choice and experience a world without cars (golf carts are ok). I find I think more clearly, creativity is enhanced, and general perspective is expanded. .4 miles from Diamond Cove ferry dock, and .6 from Great Diamond dock.

Comfortably sleeps 6.

Historic and charming home in a most interesting setting-- the community was a former military fort and barracks. Chat with neighbors on the front porch or watch wildlife and hang out in the backyard picnic tables. Comfortable beds and two full baths makes it good for group of 4-6 people. The golf cart is a godsend but there are bicycles and kayaks for land and water exploration. We didn't make it to the lovely looking pool or rec center for gym/bowling but they look like lots of fun. Rental and check-in was easy with quick communication from Ethan the owner. Pro-tips: 1) Be sure to take the ferry from Portland to the Diamond Cove dock NOT the Great Diamond Island dock. Ferry tickets are cheapest at 14 ea; other option is to book a personal water taxi 75 (takes up to 6 people). 2) There's no typical general store just a restaurant with a gift shop, so bring all your groceries with you.
