The kitchen is stocked with dish soap, dishwashing tabs, paper towels, coffee, coffee filters, tea and other pantry items.

Hannaford Supermarket is the closest full-service store (about 10 minutes away), while nearby favorites like Farm 23 offer exceptional baked goods and breakfast items, and Pinkham’s Gourmet Market is perfect for high-quality meats, fresh seafood, and prepared foods (including fresh-steamed lobster with advance order). For lighter provisions and local flavor, East Boothbay General Store and Eventide Specialties provide specialty items, wine, and ready-to-enjoy meals, while Brown’s Farm Stand and the weekly farmers market on the Boothbay Town Green are great for fresh local produce. If you prefer to relax, our management team can also arrange pre-arrival grocery stocking or even a private chef experience.

The house has high-speed fiber WiFi (100+ Mbps) — plenty for streaming and video calls. Cell service is decent for AT&T and Verizon; T-Mobile coverage is spottier at the tip of the peninsula. The WiFi password is in the welcome binder. We have desks with direct CAT internet lines located throughout the house providing the most reliable service.
There is a strict no pets allowed policy.
Maine coastal summers are glorious but unpredictable. July and August average highs in the low-to-mid 70s°F with cool evenings (50s–60s). Pack layers no matter the season. Fog and overcast days are part of the Maine experience — they give the coast its moody, dramatic character. June can be beautiful but shoulder season means cooler water. September and October are often stunning with fewer crowds.
