Access to the island is exclusively by water, with parking available for your convenience. Guests may bring their own boat or arrange rental services through reputable local providers like Downeast Boat Rentals, ensuring a safe and seamless journey to your island retreat. While offering all the comforts of modern living, this retreat relies on generator and battery power to operate its appliances, water pump and amenities. We kindly request your cooperation in conserving power, suggesting scheduling laundry and dishwasher usage during generator charging periods. We understand this may not always be feasible, but your consideration is greatly valued.
