Charming, all new, beach cottage unit. Ideally located 150 feet from Maine's most beautiful beach. Drakes Island is a quiet residential area just 1.1 mile from Route 1 and less than five miles from the Maine Turnpike. This cottage rental is the front unit of a two-family, beautifully designed home, with owners residing in the rear cottage.
Quiet and only steps from the beach. There are ocean views from your front porch as well as the master bedroom. This cottage has a lovely front porch as well as a private patio area with gas grill and picnic table. The master bedroom is on the first floor which also has a full bath, living and dining areas with gas fireplace, and fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher.
Upstairs, the second bedroom with two sets of twin-size bunkbeds (sleeps four), also has its own bathroom. Full laundry room for tenants two days a week. Off street parking for two cars. The cottage is beautifully decorated, equipped with all amenities including beach chairs, DVD, phone (US & Canada), wireless Internet, etc.
Owners are "pet friendly" and may consider mature family dog with additional pet security deposit. Additional rent for dog is $200.
Dogs must be leashed outdoors and are permitted on the beach during the summer before 8AM and after 6PM. September and June dog hours more flexible. Available weekly from June through September as well as winter from September through June.
Drakes Island is truly "heaven on earth," a beautiful two-mile stretch of beach, yet so close to restaurants, shopping, antique shops and many other Maine attractions. The only problem is that you just won't want to leave!
Special rates for June and September!
June and September at Drakes Island are the best kept secret!
June is positively gorgeous with every beach rose on the Island in full bloom with the fragrance of roses blending with salt air.
What perfume for the soul!
It it pure heaven and rates begin at $850. per week, a saving of $1450. off the in-season rate of $2300. weekly. (read more)
June and September weeks are a wonderful way to "get your foot in the door" and join the Faulty Tower families who love to return year after year. September is simply gorgeous with wonderful sunny days and warm water (usually). The beach is wonderful for walking, beachcombing and sitting in the sun. The days are warm, and the evenings are delightfully cool for sleeping. Rates are low and with many tourists gone, our guests love that there is usually not a wait at area restaurants and the Route One traffic has calmed down. We invite you to visit during this beautiful time of year.
Beautifully maintained and immaculate. Professional cleaning service available for an additional fee.
