This cottage is well-equipped and very, very clean. Excellent condition and very nicely decorated. Located at the quiet north end of Drakes Island, well away from the crowds near the main public beach access. There is no public beach access or parking nearby, so the beach is all yours. It is located near the Wells Reserve a.k.a. Laudholm Farm, which is a great place to walk or jog and explore. The beach owned by the preserve is part of the Rachel Carson wildlife refuge, and there are no houses at all on that part of the beach, which ends in a beautiful tidal river. Great tide pooling there at low tide and my kids were in heaven hunting for crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp, starfish, etc. I can't stress enough how desirable this north end location is for getting away from the crowds. If you are not familiar with Drakes Island, it is a place I have been going to for 35 years in the summer. They have a great rec program for kids, and there is a "little kids camp" for ages 3 to 7 three mornings a week. Big kids, over 8, have camp five mornings a week. A great break for Mom and Dad. This is run through the DIIA, which owns the community house with two tennis courts, two playgrounds, and a basketball court. Weekly renters can join for a small fee. The beach is good for surfing, boogie boarding, etc. An ice cream truck makes the rounds a few times a day, something my kids never forget! If you want a memorable family vacation, Drakes is the place,and this cottage iS perfect. We are a family of five, and it was just right for us.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
