Grace Cottage is a waterfront rental home located in Harbor De Grace on Long Island, Maine, just a short ferry ride from Portland. The cottage offers wonderful ocean views and, within steps of the house, you have access to a quiet beach. Look out onto the water as you sip your coffee or wine from Grace Cottage’s deck!

The space
Grace Cottage is a bright and clean beach house that provides guests all the comforts of a modern vacation property. The cottage was renovated in 2017 and decorated by Adriana Kertzer, a New York City-based design entrepreneur originally from Brazil. Adriana created interiors that are airy, cheerful and fresh.

Other things to note
Food: We recommend doing all your shopping at the Whole Foods Market (2 Somerset St., Portland, ME 04101) and bringing everything you need to the island. If you fly into Portland, just take an Uber to the market and then the ferry. If you brought your car, then the market has plenty of parking for you. If you are not able to do your own shopping, we are happy to coordinate a delivery to Grace Cottage. Just get in touch with us at least two weeks prior to your stay and we will help coordinate it all for a modest delivery fee.
Wine: If you would like to ship wine to the house, feel free to do so! Just let us know and we will keep an eye out for it.
Car: If you do bring a car to the island, contact Casco Bay Lines to make a special car reservation. These must be done in advance.
Coffee: Please bring your favorite ground coffee.
Fresh Lobster: Fresh lobster is caught daily during the summer by local lobstermen. We can coordinate a delivery to your door for a modest fee.
Luggage on the ferry: If you are coming with more than just a carry-on, Casco Bay Ferry provides a delivery service for “freight” from Portland to Long Island. You check into the freight area of the ferry dock (where the cars pull up prior to boarding the ferry) and put your belongings in a cart that then gets labeled “LO” stickers that Casco Bay provides. The ferry crew will push it on the boat and unload it on the island for you to pick up on the pier. Most times you can ride the same ferry as your belongings (if you arrive 45 minutes prior to the ferry) but during high season your belongings might be on a different ferry. Our greeter can help you coordinate pick up.
