About this cottage rental

Spacious Victorian cottage built in 1885 by celebrated architect John Calvin Stevens, located on Little Diamond Island, a 15 minute ferry ride from the vibrant city of Portland, Maine, but worlds away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Our family owned home has five bedrooms with full/double beds, plus a sunporch which can become an extra bedroom. The house is supplied with linens and cooking utensils, washer/dryer, and an outdoor shower that is a delightful summer experience!

The house is situated next to conservation woods, on an acre lot, with privacy that is wonderful for quality family time. It offers a wrap-around front porch with hammock, a screened-in back porch, ample yard space for croquet or bocce, and a tree swing for kids of all ages. Choice island beaches are only minutes away for swimming and beach combing.

With no cars on the island, the pace is peaceful and relaxing. At low tide, you can walk across the sandbar to Great Diamond Island, stop for ice cream or a few staples at the store, and ride the ferry back to Little Diamond for free. Inter-island ferry is free of charge for exploring down the bay. The short ferry ride into town provides easy access to Portland restaurants, museums, shopping, and a rich array of other off-island activities in Southern Maine.

Truly special property and cottage. Very private at the top of the hill. Plenty of room for seven adults and two dogs, and we all enjoyed the large yard and spacious accommodations. Historical 1885 cottage with all the antiquities, but also the creature comforts. First time in long time that a vacation truly allowed us all to unplug, enjoy nature, the simple life, and each other's company. Easy access to quiet beaches, walks to adjoining island, short ferries into Portland for eateries/shopping/sightseeing. We live only 20 minutes away, but Casco Bay and Portland offer the best vacationing we know of.... It's true....Maine, the way life should be.

My family and I (all adults) spent a week at the Woodbury house on Little Diamond Island. With David’s instructions we easily made it to the island and ordered our food for the week from Portland. We spent lots of time with our dog at the beach, cooked dinners, and enjoyed the beautiful house. Would love to come back!

Our stay at the Woodbury Cottage was excellent! From nicely furnished rooms to large kitchen with all the tools to sounds of boats all around us, we thoroughly enjoyed our return trip to the cottage. Looking forward to next year already.

Beautiful historic cottage. Quiet friendly island. Convenient to Portland yet a world away.

We love and appreciate the fresh touches and improvements that have gone into the cottage and grounds. It is the right size for our family. Friendly people on the island. The short ferry ride to Portland is fun and convenient. The walk to Great Diamond during low tide provides exercise and different views. The cottage and island are very conducive to relaxing and leaving your cares behind.

Great location on beautiful little diamond island

The house accommodated 9 of us without trouble and had everything we needed for a great vacation. The island is really beautiful. The home is historic and has some great outdoor and porch space. There are a lot of antiques (including the furniture) which did make us nervous with younger children. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. David was very responsive to any questions that we had and so are the other islanders.
