We enjoyed our week stay at this lovely 2888 Old Drake Drive house. The back of the house faces a lagoon, yes there are crocodiles in there! The landscaping is amazing with mature tall trees of every variety, which makes the house feel kind of private too. The entire island landscaping is amazing, very unique if you’re not from a coastal area. Make sure to read over all the Island rules in your welcome packet, there are a few (no hanging towels on deck, no standing at edge of lagoon, dress codes for restaurants, etc). Our family had 4 adults and 6 kids ages 4-15. The room divvying lead to single people having their own rooms and families with kids in their own rooms. Two of the rooms (one upstairs, one midlevel) could fit a blow up bed on the floor for kids, the other rooms could not have. Just some info for families who may need it. Some of the bikes were not useable (tires with no tubes or values to blow up) or not safe (twisting handlebars), but we ended up ordering more bikes through Seaside Cycles which brings them right to your house. Swimming and biking were the top activities. We biked to Bohicket Marina to watch sunsets too. Note don’t bike after dark, the island is dark, unless you bring your own headlamp. The house has two beach umbrellas, a sand stake digger, several beach chairs (plenty for our group), two sand carts to haul the items to the beach, some other beach items. The beach was everyone’s favorite activity. The beaches (there is a map for all the boardwalk entry points) were clean, spacious, uncrowded water was so warm for an ocean, easy waves for kids, really lovely! The Lake house pool was an easy biking distance, but the Beach house pool we drove to mainly due to having small kids, the distance, and riding on the road (bike paths are mainly on the northern end). There is an outdoor shower at the house to rinse off the sand and salt water before showering inside. We had a shower draining issue with the main level shower and maintenance was over very quickly to snake the drain. Kitchen was well stocked. All but one meal was prepared at the home! The screened porch fit everyone comfortably, great for nightly ice cream and stories.
