About this property

Oceanfront Drakes Island Home - August 24-31 Available

'229 Island Beach Road' is a 1950's architecturally designed oceanfront house located on a beautiful two mile stretch of beach, not found anywhere else in Southern Maine. You will relish beach walking to the inlet in the wildlife preserve, surfing and swimming, sipping morning coffee on the oceanfront porch and evening cocktails on the other; kayaking and bird-watching, and amazing sunrises and sunsets. Situated on a dead-end street, your family will enjoy bicycling, rollerblading, and a morning run through the nearby path to Laudhom Farms. Drake's Island is family friendly with a community house, playground, tennis, and basketball courts. Although Drake's Island is totally non-commercial, you will find convenient grocery stores, shopping, recreational attractions, and restaurants within an easy 5-15 minute drive.

Our spacious beach house boasts a huge living room overlooking the ocean, large dining area, well-equipped kitchen, oceanside porch and front porch. This well-designed and soundproof house sleeps twelve with three full baths. We offer two master suites, each located at opposite ends of the house, as well as four comfortable bedrooms, including a double bedroom, queen/twin bedroom and two bedrooms with twin beds. Off-street parking is available for four cars. The extensive lawns are perfect for croquet, badminton, soccer, and volleyball.

Boston Airport is 90 minutes away. Portland Airport is 40 min away. Manchester is a 90 minute drive. Less than 5 minutes to Wells train station and Maine Turnpike.

Please no smoking, pets or grilling on the porches. Must be 25 to rent. Must bring own sheets/towels

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this Drakes' Island property. This vintage home is truly spacious with lots of room ideal for family gatherings. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped and stocked with the basic necessities, and then some. The location is amazing! A long sandy beach right at your doorstep and a quiet neighborhood close to many attractions and restaurants.

Family Beach Vacation
This was a great location. Loved the private beach and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us. We got lucky with the nice hot and sunny weather this year so we were able to enjoy the ocean and beach. Definitely be back!

Best of Everything in Wells !!!
My family loved this house . The location was perfect , it was close to tons of clam shacks and coffee places. We rolled out of bed and jumped into the ocean every morning. The view from the house was incredible.
