There is parking for 1-2 cars in front of the house.
The ferry runs from Rockland to North Haven at 9:30AM, 2:20PM and 5:15PM daily and runs from North Haven to Rockland at 7:30AM, 12:30PM, and 3:45PM daily. The ferry takes an hour and is the main mode of transportation on and off of the island.
While you don't need a car to get to and from the house, car spots are extremely limited on the ferry. You must call exactly 1 month prior to initial departure dates in order to guarantee a confirmed reservation to bring a vehicle onto the island.
There is also an option to charter or bring your own boat over - we are happy to provide information on moorings.
We have installed exterior only security cameras for the safety of both guest and property. These cameras are actively recording both audio and video on all exterior entrances and side doors. Any tampering with cameras, including, but not limited to covering and otherwise disabling of these cameras are grounds for early termination of reservation with no refunds whatsoever.
Please note that any refunds made in accordance with our cancellation policy will be less any credit card fees.
You have access to the entire house, with the exception of one storage closet, the basement and attic.
We're happy to help with suggestions for places to go, but we will never be overbearing.
While we strive to minimize guest disturbances, we regularly maintain our home and may conduct lawn care during reservations, particularly on weekdays or during longer stays.
We are conveniently located about a 5 minute walk from the ferry, so a car is not required in order to enjoy your stay! We are about 1.5 miles from the local market, but there are local grocery delivery options.
