Vacation Rental Description

 After a short ferry ride from Portland, you arrive at Diamond Cove, 
the most protected cove in Casco Bay. You step off the boat into our 
marina, and into vacationland. Water views from all over the 
island!  The community of Diamond Cove was once Fort McKinley. It 
was built between 1891 and 1907 to protect Portland Harbor during 
the Spanish-American war. All homes in this area are the original 
Queen Anne style buildings built during that time, and have been 
completely renovated. See the privately owned Schoolhouse and 
Bakery, go duckpin bowling in the restored bowling alley, play 
basketball in the gymnasium. A paradise for history buffs, and 
heaven for those who love nature and the tranquility of a coastal 
Maine island. Other than the van that picks you up at the ferry, or 
an occasional workman's vehicle, Diamond Cove is a no-car island, 
making it a wonderful place for families. Most homes surround the 
parade ground, a huge grassy area perfect for playing. Diamond Cove 
has something for everyone. So sit back on your porch, relax and 
sniff the ocean air and take in the views!
