If you are looking for a year-round, peaceful retreat in Portland, you've found it! Great Diamond Island is located in Casco Bay just a 15 minute water taxi or 30 minute Casco Bay Ferry ride away from the mainland and the Old Port area (there are 2 ferry landings so be sure to take the Diamond Cove ferry for this property). Great Diamond Island has some interesting history and properties in this complex are former military barracks that were renovated in the early 90's. This townhome is a private end unit with just one other home abutting it. It can easily accommodate guests with its 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. There is an eat-in kitchen that is open to the living room and there are front and back porches (with a winter water view from the back porch!). The association offers a swimming pool, fitness room, basketball court and transportation to the ferry (although the ferry landing is just a 15 minute walk away). It is also a just a short walk or bike ride to Sea Glass Beach and other beaches, to the Diamond Edge Restaurant, the Diamond Cove Market, and the Inn on Diamond Island (which are open seasonally from Memorial to Labor Day). No cars are allowed on the Cove side of the island, but golf carts are permitted. The property is available for immediate occupancy and if you move quickly you can enjoy your summer in Maine on this magical island. Price includes furnishings. Showings begin Friday May 24.
