Great Diamond Island in Casco Bay, off the coast of Portland, is one of the most picturesque islands in Maine.
Visitors come via ferry, water taxi, or private boat to explore this secluded jewel and take in the island's 193 acres of spectacular natural landscape perfect for outdoor recreation and relaxation.
Diamond Cove is the island's small private residential community, formerly a military base built during America's Gilded Age. Army structures that were once scattered over the land have been restored and are now homes with wonderful historic detail and character.
Prior to being an army base, Diamond Cove was a famous artists' retreat where American literary greats such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Harriet Beecher Stowe spent time.
Today, Diamond Cove is also home to the luxurious Inn at Diamond Cove, highly rated Diamonds Edge Restaurant, and the Fort McKinley Museum.
With its spectacular sunsets, sheltered beaches, and acres of old-growth forest, this unique and historic location offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to experience the tranquility of Maine island living.
Great Diamond Island is not accessible from the mainland by car and primary modes of transportation are golf carts and bicycles.

Indoor basketball court
Library

Review Score:   8
Summary: I aboslutly loved this little place. It was cozy and more inviting then I was expecting. I would have gave this place a 5 star if there were a few detals worked out 1. Spider webs on the celing should be cleaned 2. Front door dosent lock and is hard to close. (Maybe have instructions on how to lift up on the door to close) 3. Curtans in the batroom for privacy Overall we really loved our stay and Manny from the inn was 100% amazing at making sure we were taken care of. I would definitely would stay again and would recomend family and friends to stay here or anywhere on Great Dimond Island!
