more infogalleryreserveMy family had a wonderful time at House Island this past summer. Your guest house accommodations were found very comfortable by all. The special dinners prepared by the chef were superb…all the lobster, clams and corn that anyone could eat! We explored the island and enjoyed the beaches during the day and the quietness of the evening as a very special family time together. Thanks for such a pleasurable experience at a very special place. We look forward to a return visit!

We had a wonderful week shared by four (4) couples who enjoyed our time of fellowship with pristine surroundings, a beautifully appointed home, historical exploration and daily walks to a shrine for the Adoration of Mary. Add to that the available boating, visits to Portland"s famed Restaurant Row, water sports, fishing, and the best lobster we have ever eaten, and you've got the total House Island experience! We loved it all! Thank you to the Mona's for the rare opportunity to share this beautiful island and help others with our winning bid.

Beautifully tucked into the Island are scenic sitting areas for private picnics or just to enjoy the views of the passing sail boats that lazily drift by…catch a glimpse of a seal or a lobsterman bringing up his traps…. Nighttime brings a chance to view the city lights of Portland around a firepit for roasting marshmallows and telling tails of days gone by….
