Campobello Island & the Roosevelt Summer Home

Walk through the Roosevelts’ 34-room summer retreat at Campobello, then take in breathtaking coastal views from Friars Head and Mulholland Point.

Campobello isn’t just a retreat — it’s a window into Roosevelt’s summers and the stunning coastline that surrounded them. Step inside the preserved 34-room Roosevelt Cottage and explore the scenic grounds. Then, head to Mulholland Point Light for a glimpse of the only lighthouse shared by two nations. End at Friars Head, a breathtaking viewpoint high above the bay, where you’ll hear tales of early settlers and the island’s rich history — all with the ocean stretching before you.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price.

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.
