Want your own wheels? Get something with a little clearance for the hills. And remember: we drive on the LEFT.

02 GROCERIES

Stock the fridge before you arrive.

Order before you fly and it’s in the condo when you arrive. First sunset drink is already cold. You’re welcome.

Shopping yourself? Red Hook has two grocery stores 5 minutes away. Prices are island prices...Moe's & Food Center are in town.
