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.
