Pets are allowed with references. Please check the ferry schedule which I will attach before you respond to this ad. The ferry runs roughly every hour from 6:15am-10pm(11:30pm in the Peak season June-Sept) so you are limited with what shifts you can work. The ferry ride is 20 min which mean that you will arrive mainland at 6:35am the earliest. Casco Bay Lines offers 30 and 90 day passes, which include a bike and/or one dog. 30 day passes are $48 in Summer and $32 Off-Season. 90 day passes are $144 in Summer and $96 Off-Season. Also consider that you will not be driving your car on and off the island daily. You will park you car on the street in designated residents parking area near commercial st. The furthest you will walk is about 5-8 minutes away. There are tricks to island living that we will be glad to share with you. Im from NYC so I often feel like it is similar to the commute there. Island living is not for everyone but is definitely for people who love the great outdoors and would like to be walking distance to the ocean anytime they want, no loading up your gear to head to the beach...just put on your coat or grab your bike and go. This is a beautiful place to live and is perfect for remote worker and/or the folks who love being so close to the ocean. 900-1000 full time residents and up 3000 in the summer. Oh, don't forget many tourist during the summer months which makes the island come alive! Many things to do on island...Art walks, gallery showings, live music, fundraisers, bbq's, kids theater and many other things I'm sure I am forgetting at the moment. We are open to discussing the lease length and pets allowed.
