The Woodbury Cottage: An Oceanfront Maine Island Escape

We loved our stay - the property is beautiful and peaceful. The view is paradise, and we could sit in the huge back porch all day watching the boats from up on the hill. The rock beach at the bottom of the hill is great for a dip or hunting sea glass. Eric and Jason were great hosts all around. The island is very quiet, with two restaurants, including one called Crown Jewel, which has the best food I’ve had in a long time - I only wish we could have gotten a reservation more than twice! Truly a great way to spend a couple weeks!!

Jason was very organized, detailed, and kind in all of his dealings with us! This cottage was absolutely magical with how beautiful inside and outside that it was! The island was fun to explore and everyone we met was very friendly! Only a short ferry ride to Portland…but we missed the cottage so much when we left that we only spent a couple hours in the city and came back haha!

Jason is an excellent host. The cottage was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation!

We came back to this property for another 8 nights after enjoying it so much last summer. The rental was perfect again. The setting is so relaxing and we love the quiet island, with the ability to go into Portland so easily. Jason has thought of everything a guest could need. We love GDI and hope to return next year.

We had a lovely three-night stay at The Woodbury. Communication with Jason, the manager, was excellent, and everything was as advertised. Would absolutely recommend, and hope to come back soon.

We just had a most perfect getaway for my husband’s 60th birthday! My husband, daughters and 2 year old grandson spent a long weekend together at Woodbury Cottage. The cottage was the most well-appointed rentals I have ever been to. Every detail was attended to. The bedsheets were high quality & soft. The decor was super-cute. There was a beer cooler on the porch, 3 separate tables to gather around & eat at, plenty of utensils, dishes, pots/pans...there was even a huge basket of “supplies” in the bathroom for use by the renters. All-in-all, we had a beautiful time enjoying the view, the island and each other. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage, Jason.
