House Island Luxury Residence | BellMoor

There's something special about experiencing House Island in both its summer glory and winter stillness. Summer mornings meant waking to seagulls and distant fog horns, with days spent kayaking between private beaches and evenings around the fire pit watching the sunset paint Casco Bay. Winter transformed the island into a serene retreat where we watched snow dust the pines while staying cozy in The BellMoor with its ocean views. Though just a quick 6-minute boat ride from Portland, the island feels wonderfully remote in any season. The staff nailed every detail—from the fully stocked kitchen to arranging our private chef dinner—creating luxury that still feels authentically Maine. After experiencing both the vibrant summer energy and the peaceful winter solitude, I can confidently say House Island offers the quintessential Maine escape year-round.
