Relaxing Ocean view, Beautiful Sunrise

We went to visit Maine for our first time, explore the east coast and found ourselves drawn back to the rental home where we could gather, cook meals and enjoy the ocean view. Walking along the beach was a delight, and watching the tide come in relaxing. A perfect location for a vacation.

Great location

You are paying for the spot for sure- it’s on a quiet street right on the beach. Some things could use fixing which I sent to the gal that’s overseeing the property. Hopefully they’re addressed :) it’s pricey so expectations are high.

Late Winter Family Getaway

My family has been vacationing on Drakes Island for 30+ years. In the past few years, we have added a long weekend tradition in the late winter or early spring. This is our second year staying at this property. We have loved every second of it and definitely plan to be back!

Awesome location

This is a beautiful, spacious house right on a gorgeous stretch of beach! Peak out the windows to see the beautiful sunrise. Walk the beach day or night! The home is so spacious in all rooms including the gourmet kitchen and the bedrooms. The master suite is so nicely done. I’m grateful I was able to stay at this home and would love to come back again!!

Very nice beautiful weather weekend in February

House was nice, views and sound of the ocean was awesome. The deck was great for our morning coffee. Our only disappointment was access to the beach, the stairs were not out, understandable but no where did we see it mention that, so we had to jump down and up a 6 foot wall or climb down and up rocks.
