Location! Location! Location! Gerrish Island is private and quiet.

This apartment is on a private road on Chauncey Creek, with access to a kayak launch that is steps away. Walk, run, or bike and safely enjoy a stroll to the beach on our private, low-traffic road. Gerrish Island is a wildlife and birder's paradise, abutting Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge.

An intricate network of tidal waterways wind their way through Kittery Point, ideally explored by kayak and paddle board! From the kayak access steps away from the apartment, paddle Chauncey Creek, Spruce Creek, and the Piscataqua River's Back Channel.

As a renter on the island, you have access to a deeded private beach, Crescent Beach, less than a 10-minute walk from the apartment with great views of the Isles of Shoals. From Crescent Beach, walk along a bluff to adjoining Seapoint Beach. Walk just down the road from Seapoint Beach to the Cutts Island Trail to enjoy a scenic walk through the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge.

Bike 10 minutes from the apartment or drive to the other side of the island to Fort Foster. Gerrish Island's Fort Foster is an amazing place to explore! The 88-acre site has three beaches, a trail system that connects the beaches together, a pier, picnic tables, charcoal grills, and the remains of the historic fort.
