Great stay in Drakes Island
The house was great. We loved being so close to the Drakes Island beach (possibly our favorite beach in southern Maine). We have stayed in many houses on the Maine coast and this was one of the best for our family.

Beautiful Location
Our family had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful location on Drakes Island! The home was amazing, exceeding our expectations and including everything necessary to have a wonderful week on the coast of Maine. We absolutely loved the beautiful sun room in the back, allowing us to relax and enjoy the beautiful location. We were also able to walk around Drakes Island, being close to the beach and playground which was great with our children. We were also a quick drive to Kennebunkport and Ogunquit, with great access to all of our favorite spots. We would highly recommend this location and hope to come back in the future!
