What To Pack When You Come To Maine
Part of the joy of staying in a vacation rental is the comforts of home! Here are some things to add to your packing list that you may not have thought of:
For the House
Reusable Grocery bags — Maine has banned single-use plastic shopping bags (they’re also great for the beach!)
Paper Towels & Toilet Paper — there will be a starter set at the house for you
Linens (sheets and towels) if not provided (the amenities list of each home will tell you if you need them)
Essentials
Toiletries
Sunscreen, Bathing Suit, Sunglasses
An extra layer for cooler evenings (or being out on a boat)
Raincoats, Hats, and Umbrellas
Good walking shoes, with good tread — especially if you’re going boating!
A Leash and poo bags if you’re bringing your furry friends
Milfoil Sticker (if you’re going to launch a boat on freshwater)
Other Suggested Items
Beach towels and beach chairs
Camera & extra memory card
Fishing Equipment
Binoculars — we have lots of birds and wildlife to spot!
Bluetooth Speaker
Good hiking shoes — Maine has lots of amazing hiking trails for all ages and abilities
Your own life jackets. Even if a homeowner is supplying the kayak, please bring or rent Personal Flotation Devices that are fitted to you.
