Thank you for choosing Vinalhaven Vacation Rentals! The island has so much to offer and we are excited that you have chosen to spend your vacation with us. Here are some Housekeeping Rules that I must share with you. If you have any questions, please reach out!

HOUSE RULES:

- Smoking, fireworks, indoor/outdoor fires are NOT allowed
- Please no parties or large gatherings
- Keep the property and all furnishings in good order
- PARKING – Parking is limited to 1 or 2 vehicle(s). Vehicles are to be parked in designated parking areas only.
PETS: This property allows well-behaved dogs to stay for a $150/week pet fee. Renters are required to clean up after pets in yard and in home before departure. No pets on furniture. Pets are not to be left unaccompanied at any time.
- Appliances for their intended use only
- Water and Septic: You are on an island, so please be mindful of water usage and waste water
- No fires- even if there is a fireplace, woodstove, or fire pit
- Housekeeping: There is no daily housekeeping service. Please follow the check out list before departure.

Garbage: All trash must be stowed in the proper garbage or recycling receptacle. Guests must visit the transfer station before departure. Guests may leave 1 bag of trash at the end of stay if the transfer station is closed. If excessive trash is left it is charged $15/bag.

Returnables: All returnable bottles & cans may be dropped off at the town parking lot downtown to benefit Eldercare services on the island. There are no hours of operation so this may be done anytime.

Transfer Station Hours- Sun, Mon, Weds, & Thurs 7:30am -- 4:00pm

Lobster shells- If you're planning on cooking lobster, crab, mussels, etc. please visit the dump the day after your meal or if you're on the ocean you may dispose of your shells in the ocean. Anything that comes from the ocean can go back in the ocean. Do not leave lobster shells in the garbage for over 24 hours. With high heats/humidity lobster shells can become a huge mess/smells and can also attract unwanted animals to the property.

Laundry: It is helpful to the cleaning staff if you keep up with laundering towels throughout your stay and only leave one load of towels upon departure.

We had a wonderful time at the Carver's Pond Retreat. Such a beautiful location and very peaceful, the house is so charming. We enjoyed the water views from the big picture windows in the comfortable living room, and sitting on the deck. We had walks at night viewing the stars and the Milky Way. We also enjoyed the proximity to town, just a short walk. We hope to return to this beautiful spot.

Slice of heaven

Enjoyed our 5 day stay on Vinalhaven, Carver Pond. The house was right at the edge of town, so an easy walk down the hill to gift shops, restaurants, ice cream/candy store, grocery store, real estate, bank, brewery and post office. Near by you also had a library, historical society, seafood co-op (yummy lobsters), many different scenic trails along the ocean and thru the woods. The smell of those ocean roses, all over, was amazing!You can’t go to Vinalhaven without swimming in one of the quarries; so wicked cool!The house had all the comforts of home so truly just need to pack your clothes, bring a good book and come on over. We also enjoyed kayaking on the pond; wildlife all over. When the fog cleared, we got ourselves a pretty sunset. Everyone in town was very friendly; everyone and I mean everyone waves to you. Mgmt company/Angela made the process very easy, had communication with us before and all thru the stay to make sure we were good. Answered all my questions. We’re definitely going back so we can try out the food trucks (who we heard has awesome food)!
