What to Know Before Planning a Week on McGee Island

June 8, 2026 5 min readBy McGee Island

McGee Island stays run by the week during the season, with boat transfer, group size, dogs, availability, and pricing confirmed by inquiry. Here is what guests should know before planning.

McGee runs as a weekly rental from mid-May through October, Saturday to Saturday. Most of the practical questions come up before guests inquire — the answers here will make the inquiry itself easier.

Season and cadence

Weekly stays only, mid-May through end of October. The week runs Saturday to Saturday. Shoulder weeks at the start and end of the season are quieter and priced lower than peak.

Group size

The island sleeps up to twenty-four across three buildings. Twelve to twenty-four is the comfortable range. Groups of twenty or more can inquire about future years earlier than the standard release date.

Boat, dogs, and what's confirmed at inquiry

  • Boat transportation from Port Clyde is included for the group
  • Dogs are welcome — pet fees confirmed at inquiry
  • Final pricing, cleaning fee, and the refundable deposit confirmed at inquiry
